    bigQUOTE=Stanley Covington;2736693]Whoever does your hair and makeup did a wonderful job. You looked absolutely marvelous, dahling!

    In combination with the planing wardrobe, some gold accessories, an earing and chain for instance, would add mystery. You should also consider a more "daisensei" style, perhaps something Yoda-like with green blush and some ear prosthetics complete with hairs for your next video.

    See you at Canne, darling! Ha ha

    Brian, your video is fantastic – the slow-motion footage of shavings spilling from your plane totally qualifies as woodworking porn – thanks for sharing! Please let me know when I can subscribe to your woodworking channel – would be the best thing I've seen on TV, since watching the Dodgers take a 3 games to 1 lead versus the Cubs in the National League championship series!


    Stan, I hold you personally responsible for causing me to spit an excellent single malt all over my desk because I read with your post about wardrobe, accessories, Canne film Festival etc. Seems like you definitely have an eye for for the work of a Hollywood "stylist" who makes movie stars look good on the red carpet! Must be the aesthetic appreciation you've developed from your extensive experience with Japanese woodworking?


    Please keep the posts coming – I will be following with great attention.


    Best, Mike

    It's sort of the woodworking answer to Giada de Laurentiis

    Sorry about the adult beverage!

    Unlike the long-haired and scruffy Mr. Schwarz the publisher, Mr. Underhill, who looks like a friendly potato farmer, Mr. Vila of This Old Outhouse TV show, and Mr. Abrams of the New Yankee Powertool Shill TV show, Brian is a young, well-spoken, and handsome guy with style. He has the potential to improve the image of woodworking far above what we have seen in print and television so far. If I can help with expert fashion tips, its the least I can do.

    And Brian, if a fellow named Weinstein invites you to a party at the Four Seasons Hotel, you know you've made it!

    Hello to Hollywood!

    Thank you Ken! Glad to see that the spirit of this video was conveyed and received! Much appreciated!

    We've got part 2 up, this completes the two part introduction to my woodwork, focusing on shoji in this case. This is not meant as a how-to or anything like that, just something to enjoy;

    Beautifully done! I think you perfectly captured the essence of the work. It reminds me of "peaceful cuisine" on youtube.

    Btw, I thought you'd be some old guy in a black and white picture with a pipe?

    My photo is of the Prince of Wales, I suppose it's finally time for me to change that avatar.

    Hey wait... that slow-mo of the sawdust spurting out at 0:45... I swear I've seen verrry similar-looking footage before somewhere. I think that sort of shot is supposed to go at the end of the video, though. Tension and release and all that.

    I also like the soft-focus just as you went off-line at 1:07. We should add that to Jim's survey of "ways to deal with mistakes".

    Nice video!

    Brian, the link in the first post opens in a screen that has the time bar and pause controls etc but the video does no play. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I have had an intern for the past three weeks. She commented that she saw me wince as I noticed that I went off the line in the video. Hah, but I decided just to let it go.
