The Voodoo of “The Schwarz”
Nicole is on a business trip this week and that can only mean one thing: I’m watching woodworking DVD’s every night! haha! Well last night I fell asleep watching one of my favorites: “Coarse, Medium, Fine” by “The Schwarz”. Prior to dozing off, the weirdest thing happened. I had this uncontrollable urge to grab my laptop and my wallet! While laying in bed, I apparently navigated to Lie-Nielsen’s website and ordered some things that could very well result in me eating Ramen Noodles for the next month. I didn’t even realize what happened until I received the order confirmation this morning in my Inbox. It almost feels like that time in college when I decided that Southern Comfort was “my drink” and I woke up the next morning on my friend’s front lawn with undesirable images painted on my face with a Sharpie marker. But I digress.
I know I can’t be the only one to fall victim to the voodoo of “The Schwarz”! Now is the time to confess my friends. Tell me about your experiences and who is the culprit. Was it David Charlesworth? Maybe Rob Cosman? You need not fear retribution for your confessions, for you are safe within these Wood Whisperer walls.
54 – Interview With Chris Schwarz
Download High Resolution
This past April, we had to good fortune of visiting with the folks at Popular Woodworking in Cincinnati, OH. We got a bunch of footage at the Pop. WW’ing headquarters (including a quick interview with Glen Huey) as well as a tour of Chris Schwarz’s home. We capped the day off with an interview with Chris in his own shop. The unfortunate news is that one of our tapes had a fatal flaw in it. So the only recoverable footage was this interview with Chris. Fortunately, it was a very fun interview and I think you will like it. Be sure to check out Chris’s Woodworking Magazine Blog as well as his Lost Art Press Blog. And while you’re at it, check out Popular Woodworking Magazine for some great woodworking content.
