Very nice, .40, and it's good to see you back again.
Awesome discussion. I love working with wood too, but not into fine woodworking. More like general construction. I'm in the middle of building an attached 16'x20' pergola over in my back yard.
I always liked the Woodright Shop mainly for the historical perspectives it offered. It looks like way too much work for me but it is very interesting to see how the various cutting operations that are still in use today were done without electricity. The imperfect hand work gives a lot of rustic character to the piece.
Sadly, Norm is retired and there are no new episodes being made. The website is active and the plans/episodes are still available.

I love all things power tools and wood. I'm more of a rustica woodworker, stuff like old barn board and twig furniture.

Very nice Dawgluver.
Old and in the way is what I love to work with.
Most of the trim in my house is somebody's cast always.
My kitchen is an old chicken coop. I think I posted pics of it before.
I'll post a pic of my last scrap project.
The base is an old cast iron base for a long ago broken urn my Aunt had.
The top is made from plywood used to protect some round cabinets during shipping we installed on a job. The veneer is scrap from yachts I used to build years ago. The stainless edge band is from the face of a Sub Zero that was replaced by a wood panel.
.40 cal, Enjoy you projects and don't listen to anyone except yourself.
Andy, Be glad you weren't lead astray and ended up doing it for a living like I did.
Dawg, Zagut, and .40....those are beautiful works of art! I'm in awe of anyone that has the talent to work with wood and create such nice pieces.
My son-in-law is an artist and does woodworking on the side from his job as a firefighter - he replicates fire and police station badges and enlarges them in blocks of wood for the station houses. They're pretty amazing.
