Frid made this cabinet as a gift in appreciation of the assistance given by the gentleman who secured his permanent visa in the US. Frid and John Prip originally came to RIT to teach with visitors’ visas.

 

Tage frid (1915-2004) was a Danish-born woodworker, Frid had an inestimable influence on the development of the studio furniture movement in the United States. “Without a doubt, Frid represents the single greatest influence on American woodworking education today,” writes Michael A. Stone, author of Contemporary American Woodworkers. According to the famed woodworker, Jere Osgood, “It’s reached a point where most of the people teaching in wood programs on the East Coast are either students of Frid or students of his students. We in turn pass on his ideas, consciously and unconsciously, to our own students.”
