Great article. I bet it smells great in that workshop, all those wood bits flying around.

He has what we all seek, job satisfaction for life. As the world got bigger people became spoiled with unrealistic ambitions.

Wow! That was lovely. I echo the thanks for posting this. My grandfather cut Ozark timber into blocks for furniture making all his life. I remember the smell of his sawmill-- such an earthy pleasure.
