What a great video. Watch him walk away from the piece to go get a tool , he is hustling. So much energy. How about him holding the router one handed while shaping the backs of the chair! Awesome.

Sam was inspiring to me back in 1979 when he came and did a workshop. He was so energetic on that bandsaw. He let nothing stand in his way. He was a self taught craftsperson, as most of us commonly are. You only learn from the doing, so do alot of it (whatever you do) and keep focused.

Sam's works truly inspires me as a woodworker in ways that only a few others have.
