I think it was
@pit that gave me this idea. I think this guy would make an awesome neighbor.
I grew up watching this guy on TV with my dad, and was surprised to find he was still filming his show when I got out of the Army and moved back home. He went to college for acting but somewhere along the line turned himself into the master housewright at Colonial Williamsburg, then began teaching traditional woodworking in North Carolina before turning his love of the craft into a local, then national PBS show. As the series went on, he was forced to move to one single take for each episode due to decreasing budget. He "feuded" with another television carpenter, [RANCH], but is one of the most pleasant and friendly gentlemen I have ever met. I took three classes with him, and he and I "collaborated" on a shaker candlestand last year (He finished one of the legs while I was out getting stitches. Chisels are sharp, kids). If anything, he'll help me keep my tools sharp and the work area clean.

remember
@pit, sharp tools are less dangerous than dull, defective ones.
