Popular Post Eric. Posted September 23, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I think this video made circulation around here a year or two ago, but it's worth re-posting because everyone should suffer through it at least once. It's a real treasure to have this footage of The Master talking nuance. I wish there was another hundred hours of it. It's a little slow so have a coffee before you start...but watch it some lazy day if you haven't already. Great stuff. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 51 minutes ago, Mike. said: I guess me and @Eric. are the only two that appreciate JK. Not likely. As father-time started to gain on JK he became even more philosophical about the craft if that is possible. That sets just fine with me because my plank-sanctum, garage-mahal, call-it-what-you-will, is my decompression chamber. I enjoy what I make and my only deadlines are those that appear when someone is willing to pay me for the things I like to make anyway. My shop is the ultimate anxiety deprivation chamber and I get a little philosophical about it myself. JK taught me the joy of lumber selection, proportions, the balance of when things get too precise and become robotic versus things getting too loose and moving from artistic into the flea-market. In all things he speaks to the enjoyment of the craft. A great inspiration, teacher and cool dude in general. I still miss him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Yea, I only wish that I had found out about him and the fact that he was only 90 minutes away from me before he passed away. Eric, do you know, is the David he references to a couple of times, David Marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I have been watching all that comes out on the Krenov Foundation YT channel. Don’t feel I have a lot to contribute other than that, but since Mike asked for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 In the above video he is talking to someone there in the class room and he is calling him David, and David Mark's place would only be a short drive away. Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted September 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 No I think that was just some David who worked at the school. Possibly David Finck but that's just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekcohen Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Eric, thank you for the video (and link to Youtube, where there are others). I have been a fan of JK for a couple of decades. I am also fortunate to own one of his smoothers. It is my greatest treasure. Here is a link to a "review" I wrote about it: http://www.inthewoodshop.com/ToolReviews/The James Krenov Smoother.html Regards from Perth Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
