I know the man is just human. But with the magic of television, every cut looks acurate the first time, every mortise and tenon snug and perfect, every hand cut angle right on, every "sand to the line" curving slope magical.
But in reality, like when he makes the " prototype".....how often do you think he mismeasures, miscuts, cuts the wrong angle or side, or get chip out on that last cut??? Enough so, where he has to scrap the whole piece big or small.??
I swear in all my years watching him work, I think I've only seen one cut that after glue up, didn't look right to me. ( the miter bench drawer)But maybe it was my angle.
I hope this topic doesn't offend anyone. I'm just a curious kinda guy.
And thanks for all the great advice I've gleamed from this site, in just the past few weeks.
