So I harp on a lot about the East and its awesome craftsmen. ย The off topic video of the day is about Neon sign making in Hong Kong. ย Awesome.
Conrad and I had a chat recently about the maker generation, and the maker movement. ย The move away from automation is a natural progression, and I like to think of Carl Bass as maker king. ย He is also the CEO of Autodesk, the guys that make Autocad, etc. ย He prefers buying machinery to yachts and sports cars. ย I imagine he shaves with a sharpened axe. ย And hunts rabbit for dinner. ย Serious man points.
To quoteย Raymond Calitri fromย Gone in 60 Seconds, “Steel. Its cold. Ugly. Wood is warm. Clean. Provided by Nature. ย To see a piece of furniture take shape. Its like watching a child grow”.
