    What a great video. Watch him walk away from the piece to go get a tool , he is hustling. So much energy. How about him holding the router one handed while shaping the backs of the chair! Awesome.

    @MrKriebs Well said.

    Sam was inspiring to me back in 1979 when he came and did a workshop. He was so energetic on that bandsaw. He let nothing stand in his way. He was a self taught craftsperson, as most of us commonly are. You only learn from the doing, so do alot of it (whatever you do) and keep focused.
