Woodworker and journalist Alan Goodsell has written extensively on woodworking and tools for a range of magazines, including the highly acclaimed Woodturning magazine, The Router and Furniture & Cabinetmaking (GMC Publications). A significant move took Alan to the USA where he ran the marketing department for a top router bit and cutting tool manufacturer. Still living in Florida, Alan has moved back into publishing and is now producing a range of woodworking-related publications.

He is also the founder and owner of MiniMaxWorkshop.com which supports the idea that you can build great projects in small spaces. Randall served ten years as senior editor for a woodworking magazine and continues to write and edit articles for other woodworking publications and companies.
