new found respect

[Joe the meek]

sad thing is that stores sell prefinished furniture, and if you know how to hit a hammer and screw in something you can have pretty much all....but the quality is nowhere near the quality of a true tradesman.

There is a guy in Western Maryland I use to paddle with. On the side, he made wood padles. Got to see his shop one day. I never knew a bed frame could go for $12,000 (all to the D.C area).
