    Hey Lou, I’m glad somebody had the foresight to record you at work. What a wonderful thing to leave to the woodworking and boat building community. There is nobody in or around woodworking since Norb Abram that explains things better than you just love your videos and learn tons we could get young kids into paying attention, imagine what the future would hold. Keep making them beautiful.

    Curious coincidence, Lou, regarding the 2 degree angle. I was watching a UT video about early water distribution, which mentioned an ancient Greek making a tunnel through a mountain. As he couldn't guarantee that his excavations from both ends would meet exactly, he angled them slightly horizontally so that they had to cross at some point. There was no mention about how the vertical alignment was maintained, but the horizontal trick was as clever as yours!
