Hey everyone I've been out of woodworking the last couple of years due to sometime off to grow in my faith. After meeting
Sam Maloof and watching his video, I thought to myself I can do everything he can do, What makes him different. And after the forth time watching the video, his closing remark caught my attention." Too often we who design things take all credit for what we do and if we have any kind of success we become very smug and concede about it. I think all one has to do is to look at a beautiful flower, a tree, or whatever, and Realize what we do is very insignificant. WE are only the instruments who make these beautiful objects!" (Sam Maloof, in his VHS woodworking profile).Perspective that's what makes him different. I'm sure he's in heaven now realizing how much of an instrument he was. For the bible talks about if you had 100 sheep and one got away wouldn't you leave the 99 to find the one, lost sheep. I was the lost sheep and his perspective on woodworking is the call I needed to hear. To whoever chose the wishbone shelf for the front of the contest, Thanks!!! I enjoyed being the instrument.
