Chris’s pieces are so beautiful, it was almost comforting to see that even he has occasional problems (the one leg not sliding fully in). It would be interesting to see how he was able to correct it.
I agree with jiminvermont. The video was informative and very well done. But, perhaps an important opportunity was lost. Learning from a master how to correct a clearly visible error would be of great interest. Also a bit more about using the contents of the master's glue-water-sanding dust potion would be great.
I agree with the two comments above. Would love to see Chris' fix for the gap. Hating the thought of Chris retiring---and hope he will continue his contributions to FW.
The only issue was that he didn't push it in all the way. Maybe we made it out to be more of a fix than it was. He just noticed it and pushed it down real quick. It was 20 seconds.
You know me. Much to our contributors chagrin, I LOVE to show the screw ups and the fixes that go with them.
That's because we all make them. You know the acronym FAIL......First Attempt In Learning!
