Why does Tim Rousseau insist on PC, woke language such as “crafts person” and “business person”? It’s pandering to leftist ideology, virtue signaling, and immature, all in one. I doubt that Jean Jacques Rousseau used the leftist word craft person. This is scary, like George Orwell level-to rewrite someone else’s quote to meet your political ideology is arrogance and ignorance on full display. Tim then tries to attribute his overly sensitive, leftist words to an historical figure. Give us his quote, not yours. Respectfully, grow up!
This project reminded me of Woody Hyezmar's Bible somehow…, although you can currently get it at no cost, the projects are worth a good look. Maybe try go’ogling his latest.
Graffiti is about doing the same thing as your fellow peers or rivals. Bit you get smacked in the mouth for biting someone's style you can take inspiration but better not fully copy it.
The most Boomer shit I've ever heard. "I was born into privilege in an amazing generation and I leveraged that gift to move to NYC and pour my heart into high end artistic furniture." Boomers have squandered more wealth than any generation in the history of mankind, and all the following generations will have to pay the debt.
His audiobook “why we make things and why it matters” brought me here. Apparently o had started watching this a while back, because I was half way through it somehow. Now, being able to connect it to hearing some of his life story, it’s so much cooler. What a cool, smooth cat.
In hungary we call it radial (quarter) and tangental (flat) cuts. But of course we have a word for both plainer then the latin; sugár (ray) for radial, and húr (string) for tangental. Interesting to see where the english or us words originates from.
I've spent my life working with my hands and it's been worth every minute. First as an artist and a carpenter and now building furniture. To create a beautiful useful thing is pure joy!
The hippies were similar to a boil. They are a pain for a while, but you get rid of them and go back to your routine. The world hardly remembers the hippies today, and most people laugh at them now. But if you have the misfortune of running into a person who got swept up into the hippie movement, they act like it was a world changing movement. They did change the world in some ways, and not for the better.
Imagine all the beautiful, functional, and creative objects that people have made out of wood over the last 70,000 years. They are now finding atlatls that were frozen in snow and ice for thousands of years. These weapons have sinew, stone points, and the marks in the wood showing how the object was crafted. Otzi the Ice Man has 27 different types of wood which made up his gear when he died and was found 5300 years later. Even birds make nests out of wood and grass.
Very interesting. I’m 67 - been a (serious) hobby woodworker for 45 plus years - and had a side line selling furniture for about 5 years. I got out of the making to sell part because I just didn’t like deadlines and client’s procrastinations in something I loved to do. So, I now make at my own pace - which is slow because of my body screams after an hour or so in the workshop. I feel I’m okay at the making; I’m not good at original designs but like to adapt other designs to fit my taste (principally UK Arts and Crafts plus Prairie and Mission). Where I strive and fail is getting constant contentment, peace, satisfaction, happiness or whatever from making. I watch these videos and the maker is always at peace; I can’t achieve that but it’s what I strive for. Suggestions welcome
Thank you for your comments here. Suggestions? I would say be content with your abilities. Push beyond your abilities, to the extent that you are comfortable doing so, and makes you happy. If your physical body imposes limitations on your ability to do your work, accept it, and be thankful for the amount of work you are able to do. All the best to you, John
You fail to find peace because you are seeking it externally. Peace comes from within. It's not in the results of what you make, but in the process of the making. The peace you seek will often come in the form of *focus.* In that when you are focused on what you are doing, everything else leaves your mind, and you are at peace in the moment with your work. And in this way, your work becomes a form of meditation. Peace is like a butterfly, if you chase it, it will fly away. You must let it come to you. Good luck
What a pile of absolutely hippy nonsense. I come to see a furniture maker and what I get is a lecture on the importance of communist hippy values that are trying to claim they started furniture making. I am 3 minutes in and I decided to stop watching the video. They just have to stick their politics into everything.
You have prepared a very good movie. We want to commemorate our veteran and old carpenters on May 1 workers' day. We will prepare a short 1 minute video. Is it possible for us to benefit from your movie? We will be very happy. We will be glad if you answer.??
Mr. Korn is a wonderful example of the power of an individual with a vision, a passion, or a commitment to creating meaningful change to this world. Kudos to Peter Korn! His life path is both inspiring and motivating for me. Thank you Peter for giving me the idea to transform my own life path. It's a priceless gift!
