I have read most/all of his posts over the last few years and I never fail to not learn something about the finishing process. This was just part of one chapter...
Go back and look at some of his earlier posts. You will learn someth> My (limited) experience as well. Which is why I used to start close to me
I've got a folder on my hard drive of all Robert's posts on finishing for the last five or ten years ... no nonsense, hard earned, pearls of finishing wisdom ... while his intellectual property, I may offer to be one of his co-ghost writers one of these days. :)
You wouldn't believe the half of it ... I'm more astounded each passing day at the unarguable ineptness of the current crop of supposedly educated "professionals" ... it's a damn wonder IF anything gets done, that it then stays together long enough to amortize, and that more folks aren't killed in the process.
There is NO way in hell that a project like the Hoover Dam could be built by the poorly educated, poorly raised, self delusional, pampered idiots, and their companies and governments, populating this country in the early 21st century.
For all practical purposes this country, as we once knew it, is toast ...
I would like to see a finishing book written from the standpoint of the wood. For example, given that one is working with redwood, what type(s) of finish is good for sealing? For outdoor use?

similar to the one at Lowes but has an all metal spray gun instead of plastic. $150.
That's exactly the kind of shit I'm talking about ... it's ubiquitous! Bend over, America, and kiss your third world country ass goodbye.

Depending on your religion, you might have said, "God is on the details.*" But it would seem you don't worship in the same church as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe!
*An earlier form, "Le bon Dieu est dans le detail" (the good God is in the detail) is generally attributed to Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880)
