Conversation With Mike Hide

Had a jaw with Michael today and let me tell you it was a rare pleasure.



This fellow knows more about knocking up good furniture than I will know if I live to be a hundred and we should all encourage him to share the fruits of his labor with us in a pictorial fashion.



I hope that he is not embarrassed by me saying this but we Wreckers have scant opportunity to interface with a man of his background and I personally would relish the task of downloading big ass files (disregarding my 56K connection) on ABPF or ABPW of his work.



He's a modest fella, ya see, and hasn't much busied himself with the task of photographing and uploading - much to our loss.



I've seen his Rice Bed, some months back, and it is a Bloody Work of Art. (his photography sucks but maybe Charlie Self can help him out a bit.)



This is the kind of man that we can all benefit from listening to. He doesn't sweat about the toolage and the twittering 'bout scary this and that - he's a flat out furniture maker who respects his trade and is mindful of his antecedents.



I hope he learns to take decent pictures and starts putting a ton of them up.



Smart Man. Nice Man. Long Time Wrecker.



We could learn a lot.



(hope you don't mind me saying all of this, Mike.)
