So yesterday my Facebook popped up with a live stream of him working
on his current desk project. Nice maple writing desk. I asked a couple
questions, one or two the same as several others, and kinda got blown
off. When he responded, it was, "I don't friggin' know".

So I just watched the video you're commenting on:
'Desk 30: Fitting lid'
https://www.facebook.com/thomas.j.ma...6611712477096/

at 7:27 "How much weight can the hinges and door support?"
TMac responded with "I don't friggin' know".
An honest and totally appropriate answer given in the context of a
live Q&A.

A different side to him when not in front of a real camera. His feed
had about 119 viewers at one point, which dropped after he said to
quit breaking his balls. One comment posted was about keeping his
greasy fingers (he was stuffing his face with Doritos) off the bare
wood desk. TMac shot back, "sometimes you need to grease your wood if
you know what I mean, right?" with a sly grin.

Lighten up, Casper. After watching it, it was kinda funny.

From that comment, and several others, including that he does
woodworking because people suck, had me wondering why he was even
bothering with a live feed. I appreciate his work and him share his
knowledge, but after comments, people were dropping off. After the
grease comment, he lost about a third of his viewers.

What you failed to mention is that occured at the end of the braodcast.
Of course people were "dropping off".

TMac is a '****ah'! I never cared much for 'Rough Cut'. I like the
brash, keeping it real, in your face Tommy Mac much better.
Unforunatly for him, that 'realness' isn't conducive to a PBS TV career.

I'm no prude and my ears have heard plenty, but it made me wonder if
that is a reflection of his attitude with Rough Cut and leaving.

Anyways, just sharing what I saw and heard. Make of it what you will.
