|  carpenter bad ass from back in the day!
this guy kicks ass!  http://www.dickproenneke.com/  It airs on PBS every now and then. Everytime i run across it i have to watch the entire show! this guy makes every contractor carpenter i know look like a 4year old cub scout... during the show my jaws on the ground! this guys all, "I need a spoon so i can make some good size flap jacks...", proceeds to grab a friggin log and 30-40 min later... tada... a big ass spoon! Not to mention that he built his own tools to make his own true Log cabin from materials available.. a true relative bad ass! Anyone else seen this? |

and the damn thing would be like those bad science shows from high school had he not narrated it. I love the Moss roof and then the moss in ground permafrost fridge Its amazing what he did.... its now considered nation park or state park grounds or something. |

It was awesome, he brought all of the steel tool heads on a canoe and used a knife to carve the handles for the tools. Purely amazing work and an amazing person!

Wow, so I'm not the only one who has heard of him. I bought his book several months ago, a great read. Now I want to order the dvd.  |
