I'm not all too surprised, ...Nice find Connie. I'm not all too surprised, through out history some of the best textile craftsmen have been men. In my own life the most beautiful sweaters (the ones with pictures of deer and bears on them) were knit by a man and the strongest sail cloth tended by a man. <br /><br />And ya the double bonus is that they keep their tools well. I'm fairly mechanical but sometimes I have to walk away from my machine 'til Dirt comes home.

He woodworks--just loves making all kinds of things with his hands. Kind of runs in the family, I guess--male or female. ;) <br />This guy really looks like a great guy! Love that he's demo-ing. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-545798810030300672010-08-31T21:24:00.777-05:002010-08-31T21:24:00.777-05:00My guess it's like doing a puzzle for him.
