My local dealer in fine woodworking tools is (deliberately) sandwiched

any group of really top-end amateur cabinetmakers and you'll find at
least one surgeon in there.



One of the surgeons who did my latest hip replacement is a top amateur.
When I first went to his office they parked me in a small conference room
for a while. Room contained a really well constructed conference table
which looked custom built. By the time he showed up I was on my hands an
knees under the table looking at the joinery. He joined me to point out
some of the problems he'd had and how he'd solved them. Right then I knew I
had the right guy to do the hip.
