In which we revisit a couple videos from last week and preview a particularly awesome one going up this week.  What's so cool about bowl carving, pole lathing, or skinning a deer with a rock?  The fact that you can do them without being an expert.  We muse about this and about the distance between experts and amateurs and why you should try to do these things yourself--while managing to invoke a couple of our favorite books on crafts and philosophy (see Amazon Affiliate links below).  Exactly one deer was harmed (indirectly) in the production of this podcast; rocks and carving tools not included in this digital format.
