Re: Hank Gilpin: Exploring the American Forest

What an inspirational video. As a former producer myself, I have to say you are on to something here. Now, I want to take that walk through the woods and hear what Gilpin has to say about those big old trees. I want to see the process of his in action.
Great job of editing the interview into a coherent and well styled piece. MORE!

Great job. Terrific detail. I've built quite a few toys and yours is really special. I'd keep a backup hidden however. I have three year old twin grand kids and they are rough on wooden toys. Not destructive, but very physical. Keep up the good work!

Thanks to Norm for all of the years he dedicated to fine craftsmanship and high personal standards. Whenever Norm came to Northern California, my wife and I always went to hear him speak. He is the genuine article, truthful, funny, genuinely concerned with teaching the serious home woodworker how to work on a huge variety of practical and elegant projects.

I recall Norm saying in a recent interview that when he retired he would be taking some time off to develop a series of original furniture deigns, something unique to him, then probably present them to the public in some form. He also mentioned he felt his current home was too big, maybe something smaller and greener is on the planning board. I hope he eventually chooses video to share his work whatever it is, because there are few people as easy and natural on air as he is.
