I am currently undergoing whole house reno. Built in 1973 or ‘74, the house was starting to show its age. So I got a loan to take care of past due bills and other stuff, patch up the scuffs and bruises, update the bathrooms, repaint, etc.
I loved watching Roy Underhill with my dad, who learned woodworking with those OG tools. I have a bowl he made in 9th grade, about the time the school boiler blew up.
The scene: McKinleyville CA, about 1974. My dad took a chunk of driftwood he found at the beach and a carpet scrap. He wrapped the carpet around the wood, nailing it in place backing side out. Our boy loved it, ripping it to shreds eventually.
