@Michael Kellough Thanks Michael, I could access that one and it's just a superb 20 minutes, the other one Chuck linked to is the one I was after as they'd geo blocked it.

I never tire of Sam Maloof or George Nakashima videos, they're such a treat!

Just today I was watching Antiques Roadshow on PBS TV, and one of the examples was an early Nakashima chair he built while in an internment camp during WWII. The antique authority on the subject said that Nakashima learned his craft in the camp.

I did not know any of that yesterday. (I’m addicted to Antiques Roadshow, and I set my DVD to record all the episodes. It probably aired a few days ago.)

I LOVE Antiques Roadshow!

Watch the 20 minute video earlier in this thread, goes into his time learning woodworking during the internment camp days a bit which I think was great to show from many perspectives and wasn't just skirted around.
