Folks, you don't really appreciate the amount of woodworking, and design,
talent on the wRec until you've seen some of it in person!
The pictures are bad enough. ;-)
I'm certain that if I saw the better pieces in person, I'd just give
it up. It makes one's own humble attempts look the trash they are in
reality. Probably why Norm is so popular. It doesn't take a whole lot
of effort and talent to best his public works. Besides, it doesn't
have to be "perfect" to be functional. Of course, as a relative
newbie, I'm speaking for myself here...
But if all that's not bad enough, witness some of the hand carved
pieces they produce in Asia - where they make their own tools from old
scrap metal and motorcycle spokes, and carve barefooted and freehand.
