I always liked Andy Rooney. I remember seeing a TV segment on his Neander shop. He was making some really nice chairs.

Mr Rooney was a one-of-a-kind iconic figure.
If you did not know, the New York Times obit writers are in a class by themselves - I read them for all types of people - big, small, famous, and unknown. It is like reading a short essay on history.
Today's NYT obit for Mr Rooney: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/us...-at-92.html?hp
When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.
I liked him a lot.

My wife just told me Mickey Rooney had died...
Yep - like I told my wife,,,,"OMG, we killed of poor Mickey again!".That particular Mr. Rooney is still kicking around.
It's kind of an inside family joke.
It was about 15 years ago, my wife, and I and her parents were having a heated discussion about what Mickey Rooney died in.
We all had egg on our face when we found out he was (& still is! ) alive.
His humor always made me laugh. Often it was laced with a slice of irony that made me laugh and ponder.

So much to learn, so little time.....
