Jerry C. Forshee, a lifelong DIYer, began his serious furniture building and woodworking efforts with a course at MASW in 1997. After many subsequent courses, he completed his master’s at MASW in 2011. Jerry retired in 2012 after a 44-year career at Indiana University, Bloomington, in a variety of technical and administrative positions. He was recently featured in Psychological and Brain Sciences magazine (an alumni, faculty, staff, and student news magazine for Indiana University) for his workmanship as a master builder. He has written for both Popular Woodworking and Fine Woodworking magazines. Jerry now enjoys devoting more time to family and woodworking and sharing his passion by teaching and assisting instructors at MASW (which he considers his second home). In 2014, Jerry was awarded the John C. Coolidge Memorial Award for outstanding services to MASW. He is a frequent off-season volunteer at MASW, helping prepare stock, servicing equipment, and pitching in with the big cleanup to get ready for the new season.
