Tie your socks on with string...

If you go to

And watch the film about the New York Barbershop sign.

Your socks will be blown off - unless you heeded the above warning.  


We talk about craftsmanship and skill as it pertains to our own corner of skills
and knowledge of technique as it was practiced years back, but here is a man who
has skill and knowledge in spades.  I found it highly inspirational, seeing the
degree of detail and the focus on producing perfection.

Back to my scruffy workshop, where an old motor needs a new capacitor to let me
try and reproduce 1200 year old goods.  Maybe I should just work the original
way.  Any ideas on working bone purely by hand?

You earn a WOW! for this one… and I had to set it aside after the first five
minutes to finish later when I have time to savor it all.

I love a pretty girl who is both smiling and frowning at the same time.
Swirling fanciful skies and delicious lily pads on a pond, drippy clocks.
  Heaven knows I like a good can of soup.

  But I think we need a new category of "super art".
