I was interested to see how much the Shakers influenced Mr. Nakashima and the rest of the world.

The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...
Thanks for sharing this. Walking in there must have been a bit like opening and entering a time capsule…
Yea, it was, both for the house and the shop. While power tools were certainly part of the process, as they are at Nakashima Studios, there was clearly a focus on traditional joinery as well as carving which I kinda have the feeling was his true creative outlet. I'm sad I missed "the good stuff" that left the day before I was there...I'm sure there were some wonderful hand tools that got bought for pennies on the dollar. The estate "wants it gone!". The carved doors, especially the double front door on the house, were stunning. I hope that the future owner preserves them, but who knows?
