There's a place in my heart for woodworking. My grandpa had a complete wood shop in his basement and every time I smell sawdust or the smell of freshly worked wood, I think of him. The style of woodworking that's featured in John Merritt's video was very popular during the great depression, but has been around for thousands of years. Hobbyists would take wood that was sitting around the house and carve it to pass the time and would sometimes sell their pieces for a little extra money. The intricacies of these pieces always astound me!
Cutest old man award 2013 goes to John Merritt.
