421 hours to complete an enertainment console?????

I wonder how much he got paid for it.

It is inspirational to see a young kid with that kind of drive, skill and
focus.

21 hours to slap together, 400 hours trying to design the curved lines
in SketchUp. :-o

That it is. I think it looks like a piece I'd own. Really nice.

350 hours ... looking at Sam Maloof pieces for inspiration?

I wonder how much he got paid for it.

Whatever it was, now being an "award winning" designer and woodworker will
probably pay back the effort back in spades.

Agreed ... I have the tools, but neither the time, nor talent to pursue
pieces like that. One of these days, maybe ...
