RWW 60: WIA Measure Twice, Measure Not At All

September 10th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Here is another seminar from the WIA design conference. Jim “Table Saw Magic” Tolpin talks about how he hung up his power cords and does his work unplugged now. A really interesting talk about the industrial vs. artisan approach to woodworking and design. Jim followed it up with a talk around taking dimensions from the human body to build furniture.
