Sam Maloof: Handcrafted


10:00pm Tuesday, June 13, 2006
Sam Maloof is viewed by many as the grand master of American craft furniture. Entirely self-taught, Sam lets us into his home and studio to see how his furniture embodies his ideas on craft, design and technique.

Those that can drive their VCR/DVDR's set it up now, those that cannot, get a younger Relo to do it for you!:)

Heard alot about Sam and if it's anything like the Tage Frid DVD, it will be instructional as well as allowing us to see inside the mind of a true craftsman.

If you do not know who Sam (http://americanart.si.edu/maloof/introduction/index.html) is, try this website

Just finished watching the show.
Did not really know much about Sam, but that was incredibly inspiring to an aspiring wood worker.
So cool to see someone so famous (and wealthy) working in a relatively small workshop, just using tools and machinery that generally most of us have, or are aiming to have, creating such beautiful historic and collectible pieces.
I really would like to now have a crack at a Rocking Chair.......knock, knock...http://www.ubeaut.biz/noooooo.gif hellooo Rocker!

ps...did you see that awesome stock of timber he has?http://www.ubeaut.biz/eek.gif absolute heaven, you could just walk around there all day everyday, just drooling over the timbers....
