How wonderful it must be to be able to make a living at what you really love to do. I am both inspired by his skill and enthusiasm and a little troubled when I look at my own situation.
On the plus side, his shop and mine are the same size!

Our only similarities are we are both white and southern.

I've followed his YouTube videos for years. He's a phenomenal craftsman and a great teacher as well. My Windsor chair would have been difficult to build without his instruction. I got some of his continuous-arm rocker plans for Christmas

That is exactly what I was thinking!

Indeed. I am just now putting on the paint on my first Windsor Chair.
A study in compromise and repair - as - I - build.
Ah well, paint covers a multitude of errors.
