I got an email this morning with the following link in it. An absolutely charming film about furniture & people. Take 8 minutes & watch it. You’ll be glad you did.

Thanks for sharing that, Peter, just wonderful.
For those that enjoy this sort of furniture and culture, you might be interested in “Irish Country Furniture” by Claudia Kinmonth. If I had to come up with a list of top 10 books, I would definitely put this one on it (although I see it has now become quite valuable as I got mine when it was still in print). It might be available at your local library.
Irish Country Furniture, 1700-1950
Take care,

Thank you Peter

Best 8 minutes of my day so far. Except for that biscuit joint. The dressers remind me of a butternut bookcase my mom salvaged from an abandoned farm in northern Wisconsin.

Fantastic. I was both entertained and creeped out buy the hardware screwing itself into the furniture.

Can’t get the video to play, it just reads : this video is private.
