Default rough cut

If you don't like hand tools, the song of a sharp plane, and need to

you. Me? The more I watch the guy the more I appreciate him and what
he does.


I like Roy, his show, appreciate what he does, and the fact that he is
also one of the nicest guys around ... but what do you reckon his
response would be if I told him that he, and one partner, must build, to
designer spec, 28 wall and base cabinets, 20 dovetailed drawers, 6 shop
built pullouts, 60 doors/drawer fronts, associated shelving, and install
them in a precise dimensioned location in 30 days of work?

Methinks the lad would quickly grab for a tailed tool or two, or more ...

Often our trueness to our Normite/Neander philosophy depends upon
whether you need to make a living at it or not.
