I like that. No special jigs.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

beautiful stuff and a great reminder of what a pleasure work can be when you have the right tools.

I can't imagine having a brain large enough to hold all of the information it would take do achieve this,
not only what tools to use in what order , but how to use each and every tool in the way it was intended , and to maintain the tools in the correct way to achieve the end result.

Yes, check out the Gamble House in L.A., an arts and crafts style home for the Gamble of Proctor and Gamble. The house is mostly teak with pegged joinery, almost no metal fasteners to my knowledge. I remember seeing Norm Abram of "This Old House" do a tour of it years ago, focusing particularly on the exterior and stair case.

I can't find that vid, there are a bunch of others. Here's a short one to give a taste. If nothing else is right about L.A., there's the Gamble House.

Jeebus. I wouldn't dare use it.

Yup, he's got some nice equipment which surely helps, but the important stuff was done with hand tools, skill and patience.

I'd be shickled titless if I could just manage to get an edge on a chisel like his.




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Greene & Greene (architects) were masters and they had a pair of brothers (Hall?) that built for them. One was the builder and one ran a mill and milled all of the specialty designs. Really incredible work.

And he has all his fingers and no noticeable scars.

I cut myself silly just looking at sharp things.
