Hints and tips that some may not have heard of. #13: A "shellacing" from a Master Craftsman

This is part 13 in a 47 part series: Hints and tips that some may not have heard of.

Boys and Girls,
 
This is a virginal hint here at Craftisian. While I have referenced this video countless times in the past, I have never presented it as a standalone blog.
 
It is a long impromptu video of a master craftsman explaining the finer art of traditional French Polishing from go to whoa.
 
Being unrehersed, it may drag out longer than many would feel comfortable with, however, it is from the mouth of an expert and not from a self taught, shoot-from-the-hip cowboy on Youtube...  I'm just the cameraman this time.
 
The duration of 1:38 may seem a long time, however, during that, you get a great extensive “summary” of over 60 years of hands on invaluable experience.
Take a break from all those 1 line chatter on the miscellaneous threads and get educated.
 
I recommend you download it and watch it in a series of your attention span limit… even if it takes 98 sittings.
Here is the link.

For those that are confused by the term of pound cut... it is not a visit to your local butcher, and this linked chart may help you understand... hope it's correct as I metricised the original.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Be interested in seeing how many actually bothered to watch the video and actually learn something.

Maybe people are just too interested in what they had for breakfast and what the temperature is... as if they could do anything about it... temperature, not breakfast.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
