Wow. - Then it just disappeared. 04:21.566 --> 04:26.300 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% And that's how the Vikings, in my head, discovered Valhalla. 04:27.733 --> 04:30.800 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% - Well, that's an amazing piece. 04:30.800 --> 04:35.766 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:55% And with the story, it represents it extremely well. 04:37.100 --> 04:39.433 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% I don't think anybody else could think of something 04:39.433 --> 04:42.333 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% like that and put this together. (chuckles) 04:42.333 --> 04:46.900 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% It's a great way to start the story of Jerry Spady. 04:46.900 --> 04:50.233 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% We're going to move to a different location, 04:50.233 --> 04:54.266 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% and we're gonna tell that story to the viewers right now. 04:54.266 --> 04:55.233 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:30% - All right. (saw swishes) 04:55.233 --> 04:57.966 align:start position:30% line:10% size:40% (cheerful music) 05:05.100 --> 05:10.000 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% (cheerful music continues) (saw swishes) 05:10.000 --> 05:14.966 align:start position:22.5% line:74% size:52.5% - Jerry, I just loved the concept and the piece, "Valhalla," 05:17.366 --> 05:19.866 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:35% but you didn't start out with that. 05:19.866 --> 05:21.633 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% That wasn't your first piece. 05:21.633 --> 05:24.500 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% Tell me about young Jerry Spady, 05:24.500 --> 05:27.833 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5% and how did you start this journey 05:27.833 --> 05:29.633 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% toward what you have today, 05:29.633 --> 05:34.633 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:47.5% like this beautiful retreat that you have here, 05:35.733 --> 05:37.766 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:37.5% where nothing's rectilinear? (chuckles) 05:37.766 --> 05:39.766 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% How did you get there? 05:41.000 --> 05:43.300 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% - Well, that's an interesting question, 05:43.300 --> 05:45.966 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% and in part, it has to do with my upbringing. 05:45.966 --> 05:49.066 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:62.5% I was the son of a baker, 05:49.066 --> 05:51.866 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:72.5% so I spent a lot of time in a bakery when I was growing up. 05:51.866 --> 05:54.933 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% And this is out on the West Coast in Washington state. 05:55.800 --> 05:58.600 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:50% And I was attracted, 05:59.866 --> 06:03.466 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% always attracted, from day one, to science. 06:03.466 --> 06:07.466 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% And, ultimately, I moved to Oak Ridge, Tennessee 06:07.466 --> 06:12.433 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% to study in a small graduate school at the Biology Division 06:13.533 --> 06:15.900 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. 06:15.900 --> 06:18.100 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% And I was trained very, very well. 06:18.100 --> 06:19.833 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% I mean, that's a hell of a place to learn 06:19.833 --> 06:21.133 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:62.5% how to do basic research. 06:21.133 --> 06:22.600 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% So that was always my bent. 06:24.033 --> 06:26.666 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% It was always something that I loved to do, 06:27.900 --> 06:31.366 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% and I never expected to apply it to woodworking. 06:32.633 --> 06:36.533 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% But eventually, I was with a small company 06:36.533 --> 06:40.600 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% and in the lab, doing my thing, 06:40.600 --> 06:42.000 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% and following my nose. 06:43.066 --> 06:45.566 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% And we had to shut the lab down 06:45.566 --> 06:49.533 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% for financial reasons. 06:49.533 --> 06:51.500 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% This is an ongoing company even today, 06:51.500 --> 06:53.933 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% but at that time we were pretty stretched. 06:55.266 --> 06:57.700 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% And so I found myself footloose and fancy-free 06:57.700 --> 06:59.266 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:42.5% and out of a job. 06:59.266 --> 07:02.000 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:70% And I thought, well, I could maybe go out to the main lab, 07:03.200 --> 07:04.800 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% the national lab, and try to get on, 07:04.800 --> 07:08.866 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% but I didn't like the idea of following their rules 07:08.866 --> 07:11.833 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% and regulations, and not being able to wear shorts to work, 07:11.833 --> 07:13.300 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:52.5% and things like that. 07:13.300 --> 07:17.133 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:60% So I thought, well, I'll try to become a woodworker. 07:17.133 --> 07:20.166 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% 'Cause I'd kept a serious interest in woodworking, 07:20.166 --> 07:22.433 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% and it was traditional woodworking. 07:22.433 --> 07:27.400 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% And about a year into this segue into woodworking, 07:30.300 --> 07:33.233 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% I happened upon a set of conditions 07:33.233 --> 07:36.500 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5% of using veneer that I had on hand, 07:36.500 --> 07:38.900 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% that I didn't really know how to use, 07:38.900 --> 07:40.566 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% and I was making plywood out of it. 07:40.566 --> 07:42.833 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% Well, I made plywood in a different way, 07:42.833 --> 07:47.833 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% and it was, it came out to be a different material. 07:49.733 --> 07:51.200 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:62.5% And I knew it immediately 07:51.200 --> 07:54.700 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:60% because I tried to cut a snowflake out of this material. 07:54.700 --> 07:59.100 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% And all of the other types of plywood, 07:59.100 --> 08:01.766 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% homemade plywood that I'd made over the years, 08:03.000 --> 08:05.366 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:32.5% had failed in something that fine. 08:06.500 --> 08:08.633 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:32.5% And so when I tried to make fine, 08:08.633 --> 08:12.200 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% or tried to make a snowflake out of this new material, 08:12.200 --> 08:14.900 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% which I didn't realize at the time really was new, 08:14.900 --> 08:17.666 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% I was successful, and I was stunned. 08:19.300 --> 08:21.900 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% And eventually, that afternoon, 08:21.900 --> 08:25.500 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% I made probably 30 snowflakes. (Charles chuckles) 08:25.500 --> 08:26.866 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% And I walked out of the shop, 08:26.866 --> 08:28.366 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% and this was a true epiphany. 08:28.366 --> 08:30.300 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% This was a life-changing moment. 08:30.300 --> 08:33.566 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% I knew I was doing something that was completely out 08:33.566 --> 08:38.300 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:77.5% of my experience, and I'd never seen, never been able to do. 08:39.300 --> 08:42.500 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% And not too long after that, 08:42.500 --> 08:44.933 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% I had to make a decision whether or not I needed 08:44.933 --> 08:49.766 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% to follow up on this observation and pursue it seriously 08:49.766 --> 08:52.800 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% with the skills that I developed as a basic researcher. 08:52.800 --> 08:55.300 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% 'Cause this really is basic research in woodworking 08:55.300 --> 08:56.300 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:47.5% that I'm doing now. 08:58.533 --> 09:02.533 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% And I chose that pathway because Cathy Snyder, 09:02.533 --> 09:05.966 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% my partner all these years, was feeding me, 09:05.966 --> 09:07.633 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:50% and I didn't have to worry about making money. 09:07.633 --> 09:09.000 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% (Charles chuckles) 09:09.000 --> 09:12.100 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% And that's a very privileged position to be in, 09:12.100 --> 09:14.866 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:35% in this world. - It is. 09:14.866 --> 09:16.800 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:50% If you're an artist, 09:16.800 --> 09:21.366 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% you've got to be able to still put something on the table 09:21.366 --> 09:23.800 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% or have somebody do that for you. 09:23.800 --> 09:25.100 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:40% - I had a patron 09:25.100 --> 09:26.700 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:55% that I told you about. - Yeah, wonderful. Yes. 09:26.700 --> 09:29.333 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% - And she was making pretty good money at the time, 09:29.333 --> 09:30.466 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:40% doing her thing. 09:30.466 --> 09:31.733 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:35% And so she put food on the table, 09:31.733 --> 09:34.500 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% and I was free to pursue this. 09:34.500 --> 09:37.200 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% And so I followed the material 09:37.200 --> 09:39.466 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% of what I ended up calling fine ply, 09:41.033 --> 09:44.533 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% down a lot of pathways just to explore 09:44.533 --> 09:46.166 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% to see what I could do with it. 09:47.533 --> 09:52.466 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% And one of the things was the "Valhalla" piece. 09:54.900 --> 09:57.366 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% We didn't talk about the base of it very much, 09:57.366 --> 09:59.266 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% but that's all out of fine ply, 09:59.266 --> 10:02.366 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% or at least the the structural part is. 10:02.366 --> 10:04.900 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:37.5% And it's pretty delicate looking, 10:04.900 --> 10:07.266 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% but it is actually pretty strong. 10:07.266 --> 10:11.233 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% - Well, Jerry, you've got the medium, 10:11.233 --> 10:13.633 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% the material, the fine ply. 10:13.633 --> 10:16.866 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% You developed it, but I think you developed it 10:16.866 --> 10:21.300 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% so you could start executing what was in your mind, 10:21.300 --> 10:23.333 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% the ideas that you have. 10:23.333 --> 10:26.300 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% How do you come up with ideas 10:26.300 --> 10:29.766 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% that definitely are way out of the box? 10:29.766 --> 10:33.566 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% - Well, I remember the opinion 10:33.566 --> 10:36.866 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% that everybody should have a little irony in their life. 10:36.866 --> 10:38.800 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% The irony in mine is that, 10:38.800 --> 10:41.300 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% through high school, I was the nerd. 10:41.300 --> 10:44.900 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% I studied biology, and I studied chemistry and mathematics 10:44.900 --> 10:48.433 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% and whatever I can get my hands on that was hard science. 10:48.433 --> 10:50.433 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:62.5% And I sneered, literally, 10:50.433 --> 10:53.233 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% at the people that were taking art. 10:54.333 --> 10:56.300 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% And now, all these years later, 10:56.300 --> 11:00.433 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% (chuckles) I find myself perceived as an artist. 11:00.433 --> 11:03.800 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% And it took a while for me to wrap my head around 11:04.766 --> 11:07.533 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% that idea that I was an artist, 11:07.533 --> 11:09.800 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% because I kept thinking, 11:09.800 --> 11:13.033 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% "Well, I'm a woodworker or I'm a scientist, or..." 11:13.033 --> 11:16.700 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% But, you know, eventually, even in my mind, 11:16.700 --> 11:20.833 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:77.5% it became clear that I'd segued somehow into the art field. 11:20.833 --> 11:23.966 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% - So kind of the essence of the lab 11:23.966 --> 11:26.966 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5% or research is, "What if I do this?" 11:26.966 --> 11:29.400 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% - Because I'm exploring a new material, 11:30.666 --> 11:33.566 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% I try to figure out something that I think 11:33.566 --> 11:38.033 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% is maybe impossible to do, and see if I can do it, 11:38.033 --> 11:41.133 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% something that is impossible to build. 11:41.133 --> 11:42.666 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% And so, currently, 11:42.666 --> 11:47.600 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:45% my work is getting successively finer in detail, 11:49.133 --> 11:51.300 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:72.5% to the point where, if I have to shape a piece of wood, 11:51.300 --> 11:53.166 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:47.5% I might not be able to hold it very well. 11:53.166 --> 11:55.266 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% I have to this tiny little piece 11:55.266 --> 11:58.133 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% of wood in my hand and shape it. 11:58.133 --> 12:01.500 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% So there's going to be a limit in that sense. 12:01.500 --> 12:06.466 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% But every time I've tried to stretch this material 12:07.866 --> 12:09.500 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% and do something that I thought may might not be able 12:09.500 --> 12:14.500 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% to do it, it has responded to the challenge. 12:15.433 --> 12:16.533 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% It's really remarkable stuff. 12:16.533 --> 12:19.900 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% - What project or idea 12:21.200 --> 12:25.666 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% have you got kind of, I guess, fomenting 12:25.666 --> 12:30.033 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% in Jerry Spady right now, that you just got to do? 12:31.300 --> 12:34.666 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% - Well, the one that I'm currently working on, 12:34.666 --> 12:35.900 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% which I call, "Truth." 12:35.900 --> 12:38.533 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% And it's a sculpture that, some years, 12:38.533 --> 12:41.500 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% well, not some years ago, but about two years ago, 12:42.833 --> 12:46.366 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% I thought of something, and I knew it to be true, 12:46.366 --> 12:48.166 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% or at least I thought it was. 12:48.166 --> 12:51.900 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% And I wondered at the time, "Well, why do I know that?" 12:51.900 --> 12:55.900 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% So there's the question of why. 12:55.900 --> 12:59.133 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% And I said, "Maybe I should try to build something 12:59.133 --> 13:03.033 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:60% that answers how we know what we know as a species." 13:04.300 --> 13:07.233 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% Because we know a lot of stuff about our world, 13:07.233 --> 13:11.366 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% and it's not apparent, at least to me, 13:11.366 --> 13:13.600 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% how we come to know this stuff. 13:13.600 --> 13:15.633 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% So I took a long view, 13:15.633 --> 13:20.600 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% and I involved the concept of the Indian mandalas, 13:21.666 --> 13:23.033 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% or wheels of life, 13:24.400 --> 13:27.533 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:45% and the concept of learning from each other, 13:27.533 --> 13:30.600 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% which was eloquently expressed by Isaac Newton. 13:30.600 --> 13:34.700 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:72.5% 'Cause he said, famously, "If I've seen further than some, 13:34.700 --> 13:37.100 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% it's because I've stood on the shoulders of giants," 13:37.100 --> 13:39.433 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% in which it implies that he learned 13:39.433 --> 13:42.833 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% from those preceding him, as we all do. 13:42.833 --> 13:45.966 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% And we do that, not only as individuals, 13:45.966 --> 13:49.633 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% but we do that as societies, and as cultures, 13:49.633 --> 13:50.900 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% and as groups of people. 13:50.900 --> 13:54.000 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60% We learn something about the world around us, 13:54.000 --> 13:56.666 align:start position:25% line:10% size:50% and then we transfer it to other people. 13:56.666 --> 14:01.533 align:start position:25% line:10% size:50% And if enough people accept this as being true, 14:02.733 --> 14:04.833 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% then that becomes our perceived truth. 14:04.833 --> 14:06.200 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:37.5% And oftentimes, 14:07.933 --> 14:11.133 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% it can be verified by independent analysis 14:11.133 --> 14:12.600 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% from other groups of people. 14:12.600 --> 14:17.100 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% And this is where science really is a good format 14:18.600 --> 14:20.633 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:40% for studying the world around you. 14:20.633 --> 14:23.833 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:40% But there's also cautionary tales. 14:23.833 --> 14:25.666 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% In the piece that I'm working on, 14:27.166 --> 14:30.800 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% to create this vision of, "How do we know what we know," 14:30.800 --> 14:35.400 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% the tabletop is a flat ocean. 14:35.400 --> 14:39.466 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% Because, at one time, everybody thought the ocean 14:39.466 --> 14:41.133 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:57.5% and the earth was flat. 14:41.133 --> 14:42.966 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% And that was perceived wisdom, 14:42.966 --> 14:44.866 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% and it turned out not to be true. 14:44.866 --> 14:48.166 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% So the cautionary tale here is that, 14:48.166 --> 14:53.133 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% even if we think we know something out there that's true, 14:53.800 --> 14:55.100 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% it may not be. 14:55.100 --> 14:59.833 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% - Well, we're sitting on evidence of the fact 15:01.066 --> 15:04.100 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% that not all deck boards are rectilinear. 15:04.100 --> 15:06.866 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% - [Jerry] Yes, that's true. (Charles chuckles) 15:06.866 --> 15:08.500 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% I plead guilty to the fact 15:08.500 --> 15:12.333 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:45% that I've outgrown rectilinear in my life. 15:12.333 --> 15:16.133 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:65% - And the railings that we have here are nothing close 15:16.133 --> 15:18.100 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% to anything I've seen. 15:18.100 --> 15:22.266 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% Maybe "Lord of the Rings"? (chuckles) 15:22.266 --> 15:25.566 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% - Yeah, you know, that brings to mind, 15:26.933 --> 15:29.233 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:55% when I first saw "Lord of the Rings," the movie, 15:30.566 --> 15:32.966 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:52.5% my first thought was, 15:32.966 --> 15:36.066 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% "God, I wish I'd been a set builder on that movie." 15:36.066 --> 15:37.500 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% - You'd have been perfect. - Because it just, 15:37.500 --> 15:40.233 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:50% it fits my vision of how things should be. 15:41.366 --> 15:44.666 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:62.5% But in the natural world, 15:44.666 --> 15:48.266 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% and I'm not a naturalist, really, but I look around me, 15:48.266 --> 15:51.133 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% and I think, there aren't any straight lines. 15:51.133 --> 15:54.166 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% There aren't any right angles in nature. 15:54.166 --> 15:57.366 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% And that's where we feel most comfortable. 15:57.366 --> 16:00.000 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% So I've tried, out here in our lake place 16:00.000 --> 16:03.000 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% that Cathy and I have built for the last 50 years, 16:03.000 --> 16:07.600 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% I've tried to recreate a sense of comfort 16:07.600 --> 16:10.300 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% by avoiding rectilinear lines. 16:10.300 --> 16:12.466 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% And it's working, at least for me. 16:12.466 --> 16:13.733 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% - Well, I think so 16:13.733 --> 16:17.066 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5% because I don't feel any dissonance 16:18.400 --> 16:22.500 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% sitting here amongst all of these different shapes. 16:22.500 --> 16:26.100 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% - Yeah, it feels kinda like the woodwork below us 16:26.100 --> 16:28.700 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5% is just sort of flowing over the lawn. 16:28.700 --> 16:30.266 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% - Jerry, let's go to your shop 16:30.266 --> 16:33.966 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% and see how you use fine ply 16:33.966 --> 16:36.966 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5% to make some of this beautiful work. 16:36.966 --> 16:38.433 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% - That sounds good to me. (saw swishes) 16:38.433 --> 16:41.166 align:start position:30% line:10% size:40% (cheerful music) 16:48.333 --> 16:51.900 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% (cheerful music continues) 16:57.933 --> 17:01.400 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% (cheerful music continues) 17:07.166 --> 17:10.700 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% (cheerful music continues) 17:17.133 --> 17:20.733 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% (cheerful music continues) (saw swishes) 17:20.733 --> 17:25.233 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% - Well, Jerry, your work is just full of detail. 17:25.233 --> 17:29.333 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:45% I mean, how in the world would you be able 17:29.333 --> 17:33.466 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:37.5% to cut this out and manipulate it 17:33.466 --> 17:38.233 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% and glue it down without it cracking in the short grain, 17:38.233 --> 17:42.266 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% which is just everywhere on this little guy? 17:44.333 --> 17:46.700 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:47.5% - Well, we can walk through this process. 17:47.966 --> 17:51.166 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% It starts with my going to the computer, 17:51.166 --> 17:53.833 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:32.5% which I don't spend much time on, 17:53.833 --> 17:57.766 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:77.5% but I've learned how to capture images off the computer. 17:57.766 --> 17:59.833 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% And, in this case, I was looking 17:59.833 --> 18:02.533 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% for images from Easter Island, 18:04.000 --> 18:08.466 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% and all of these little critters here were on one boulder. 18:09.833 --> 18:12.633 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% And they're not the typical Easter Island monoliths 18:12.633 --> 18:14.866 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% that you associate with that. 18:14.866 --> 18:16.766 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% They did a lot of other imagery there. 18:18.433 --> 18:20.233 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% And I thought, "Well, I might be able to make those." 18:20.233 --> 18:25.233 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% So I printed those images off on a piece of paper. 18:26.166 --> 18:28.000 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% And then the next step will be 18:28.000 --> 18:30.766 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% to cut this particular round piece. 18:30.766 --> 18:32.700 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% We're gonna recreate this guy right here, 18:32.700 --> 18:35.466 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:50% which is this fella, 18:35.466 --> 18:38.166 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:57.5% and we'll cut this out, 18:38.166 --> 18:41.400 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% glue it, or tape it onto a piece of fine ply, 18:41.400 --> 18:45.233 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:65% which is the material that I have to use to make this. 18:45.233 --> 18:49.466 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% And fine ply is a composite material 18:49.466 --> 18:54.466 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% that's made out of veneer, any type of veneer you want, 18:55.733 --> 18:58.933 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% and it's infused with epoxy under vacuum. 19:00.333 --> 19:03.566 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% When it comes out, it's essentially plasticized wood. 19:03.566 --> 19:07.000 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% No longer behaves like wood, but looks like wood. 19:07.000 --> 19:09.566 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% - And so this fine ply, excuse the pun, 19:09.566 --> 19:11.300 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% it's at the core of what you do. 19:11.300 --> 19:12.700 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% - Oh yeah, absolutely. 19:13.666 --> 19:15.200 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:50% I've spent the last, 19:16.866 --> 19:21.000 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% I guess it's 23 years now, pursuing this material, 19:21.000 --> 19:22.866 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% trying to figure out how to use it best. 19:22.866 --> 19:26.566 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5% And this is the latest iteration of, 19:26.566 --> 19:29.966 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% I've gotten into some pretty fine detailed work. 19:29.966 --> 19:33.033 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% I've also used it in larger scale. 19:33.033 --> 19:36.166 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% So now I've got a piece of fine ply. 19:36.166 --> 19:39.066 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% This happens to be padauk and maple. 19:39.066 --> 19:43.266 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% And I've got a contrasting maple in the center, 19:43.266 --> 19:47.333 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% which adds, when you make a little piece like this 19:47.333 --> 19:49.066 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% and then shape it, 19:49.066 --> 19:52.133 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% you see a little edge of white around here. 19:52.133 --> 19:56.433 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% It's almost like a line inlay around the perimeter 19:56.433 --> 19:57.733 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:57.5% of this little critter. 19:59.000 --> 20:02.333 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% So the first thing I do, once I have my image, 20:03.566 --> 20:07.066 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% I take an exacto knife, and I cut this out. 20:08.633 --> 20:10.500 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:40% And let's see... 20:13.000 --> 20:14.266 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:42.5% Roll around here. 20:16.966 --> 20:19.600 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% Now, I could cut the snout off of this one, 20:19.600 --> 20:23.666 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% but typically what I do would be to cut around here 20:23.666 --> 20:27.566 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% so that, when I want to make this guy, 20:27.566 --> 20:30.033 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% I haven't cut its nose off. 20:32.133 --> 20:37.066 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% So here I've got the image, 20:38.200 --> 20:41.233 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% which is, where did this guy go? 20:41.233 --> 20:43.966 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% Here. That's that. 20:43.966 --> 20:47.266 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% So we're going to make this guy right here from this image. 20:47.266 --> 20:51.400 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% This is a two-dimensional image, 20:51.400 --> 20:53.733 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% in black and white in this case, 20:53.733 --> 20:57.066 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% and I will make it three dimensional in color. 20:57.066 --> 20:59.133 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% Then I take just plain old, 20:59.133 --> 21:02.333 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% well, this is gift wrap tape, 21:02.333 --> 21:04.666 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% which has a little less adhesive on it 21:05.933 --> 21:07.566 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% than some of the other Scotch tapes. 21:07.566 --> 21:09.966 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% And that's what I tend to use. 21:09.966 --> 21:13.433 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% But any kind of transparent tape would work. 21:14.833 --> 21:16.400 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:52.5% And I tape this down. 21:19.133 --> 21:21.066 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% And that covers there. 21:21.066 --> 21:23.266 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% Now we'll go over to the saw. 21:24.866 --> 21:29.066 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% And I've got an Excalibur jigsaw 21:29.066 --> 21:31.333 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% that I'll just cut this out. 21:31.333 --> 21:34.066 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:40% (cheerful music) 21:41.200 --> 21:44.733 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% (cheerful music continues) 21:46.633 --> 21:51.500 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% All right, so this is a little tricky getting this cut out 21:51.500 --> 21:53.733 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% because it's so finely detailed, 21:53.733 --> 21:57.433 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% but again, the material will hold up under the saw. 21:57.433 --> 21:59.933 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (saw whirring) 22:07.100 --> 22:10.466 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% (saw continues whirring) 22:17.033 --> 22:20.400 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% (saw continues whirring) 22:26.966 --> 22:30.366 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% (saw continues whirring) 22:36.900 --> 22:40.266 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% (saw continues whirring) 22:46.666 --> 22:49.666 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% So I've cut the image out around the perimeter, 22:49.666 --> 22:53.933 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% and what's left to do now is to refine the edges 22:53.933 --> 22:57.500 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:45% so that the little white strip will show 22:58.600 --> 23:00.700 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% when looking at it from this angle. 23:02.200 --> 23:06.533 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% And then put an eye in, and then the piece will be complete. 23:06.533 --> 23:07.766 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:50% So while we're here, 23:08.966 --> 23:10.766 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% I'll go ahead and put an eye in there, 23:10.766 --> 23:15.733 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% which is technically, it's technically difficult. 23:17.200 --> 23:19.833 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:62.5% I take a drill and a bit. 23:22.033 --> 23:25.233 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:32.5% (drill whirs) 23:25.233 --> 23:27.300 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:62.5% And the idea is to locate 23:29.566 --> 23:31.733 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% at approximately where you want the eye, 23:31.733 --> 23:34.100 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% and drill through the top layer, 23:34.100 --> 23:38.733 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% revealing the maple underneath. 23:40.500 --> 23:42.266 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% So now you've got something 23:42.266 --> 23:46.000 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% that looks like an eye in the right place. 23:47.566 --> 23:49.433 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% So the next step is to go over 23:49.433 --> 23:50.933 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% and file on it a little bit. 23:52.166 --> 23:55.833 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:50% So I don't worry too much about it breaking, 23:55.833 --> 23:57.366 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% although it can break. 23:57.366 --> 24:00.400 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% And if that happens, then a little bit of CA glue 24:00.400 --> 24:04.800 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% and a minute of waiting will solve that problem. 24:04.800 --> 24:06.833 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:37.5% (file scraping) 24:06.833 --> 24:08.533 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% And then I just continue filing. 24:10.800 --> 24:15.800 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% So you should be able to see the white edging appearing. 24:15.800 --> 24:19.533 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:72.5% So here's the finished piece, here's the piece in progress. 24:19.533 --> 24:21.233
