Woodworker Sam Maloof, MEMORY episode 

I will watch this video every morning before I even turn on the shop lights. 3 key lessons I took. 1- “rejection is good for the ego”. 2- “don’t you ever change” 3- “I didn’t let what was popular drive me.”

He was not only an immensely talented guy, he was an immensely nice guy.

such an inspiration for me , i was introduced to Maloofs work in 1993....im still building furniture 2022.....❤ Maloof

Seeing Sam put together a chair on top of a messy table saw is classic. Goes to prove you don’t need a perfect shop

I had the pleasure of going to Jerry Glaser's house in CA. Walked in the house, turned the corner, there sat 3 Sam Maloof chairs, every hair on my body stood on end as though I'd seen the most exotic car in the world. I asked if I could sit in them, Jerry jokingly said "Of course, that's what were made for" That was one of my most memorable moments in my life....Sitting in a chair lol, a real Sam Maloof chair.

Real man and absolutely beautiful work! Greetings from London, from Polish carpenter.

What a blessing to watch this interview. Maloof has inspired so many great woodworkers in the past and contributes still through videos like this.

So happy to have found this clip. Such an awe inspiring artist, in wood.

Great inspiring time capsule, thanks for sharing the journey

You know someone's a woodworker when their middle finger is the same length as their index finger.

Sam, the Master!!!

beautiful

Should put out this video again without all of the distracting loud music.

It’s kinda odd to see how beautiful his chairs are and yet he seems clumsy handling them in a crowded table saw.

Everyone can't afford a Sam Maloof piece but there's still plenty of fantastic furniture out there and for the love of christ I can't understand people buying the crap at Ikea and other popular stores selling what is basically glue. We have zero class in this country and we are fast becoming the laughing stock of the world.

His last great chair should end up going to our beloved president Trump.
