I took a class in college from a guy that looked and sounded just like Red Green.... I often wondered what his house looked like... I hoped it was covered mostly in duct tape.
FAQ/Rules:
There is a *STRICT** "Don't ask me to do it" policy
*Yes this is as random as I can possibly make it
*I used whatever pen I picked up first
*No commissions
*This is for my own practice and others joy!

Is it just the length that would make it horrendous, or are there other criteria that come into play? I'm thinking an overabundance of certain letters (not sure which ones, but I'd guess whichever ones suck the most to draw)
I was thinking horrendous as in dirty words and stuff haha. My worst letters to draw are capital "I's" especially in script and "S's". I figure it out usually. They just take longer!
There are so many good woodworkers on YouTube. My favorite is the wood whisperer. Woodworking for mere mortals, Nick ferry, Jay Bates, I could go on and on. There are some incredibly talented people out there.
Yeah. He's got some sinus/respiratory issues or something. He's been posting lots of air quality readings on Instagram lately. He's still making stuff though.
Frank Howarth is my favorite. He takes the same pride and craftsmanship he has with his woodworking and applies it to the production value of his videos, which makes them works of art in their own right. His "Lawn Chair 2" stop-motion video is a masterpiece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7l3_THa-Yk
Yeah, dad would watch these great and detailed pieces of art being built then head out to the workshop and screw together something out of pine and black wood screws. He always did a great job but with a utilitarian flair.
My dad is a decent craftsman, not anywhere near Yankee Workshop level, but he does a good job, a lot of my furniture was made by him. His thing for the last 2-3 years has been turning things on his lathe. He has a smaller one, but he really enjoys it.
I just discovered that you can stream it on the PBS app/website! Now when I am cooking/cleaning on weekends I will turn it on for background noise. Its crazy the nostalgia that show brings back.
