    William I am so impressed with Green and Green furniture and was excited to see your videos addressing some of the details, but I am also equally impressed with your sense of humor. You crack me up ! Thank you

    You're right about the huge amount of work. Imagine their skill level needed to execute what they did without the fancy tools we have today. Those were true craftsman's.

    That is some amazing joinery. I've never seen that before. I am new to wood working, so there's a LOT that I haven't seen. My father and grandfather taught me a bit, but I have a LOOONG way to go. I really appreciate people like you sharing your knowledge and skill with the rest of the world. Thank you so much!

    When you said "It has to be perfect, there's no slop", that's the greatest insight I've ever heard into the mind of a true master. I now say that 15-20 times a day to myself and it's helped me immensely. Thank you.

    You are on a short list of my favorite woodworkers from whom I hope to improve my skills. Yours are top shelf! I always learn a great deal from you and you are very efficient as a teacher; not a lot of babbling verbiage that can cause students to "phase out." This was exceptional, and I only wish I lived in Santa Monica to take classes from your school.

    I really appreciate your skill William . Just one thing for you to think about . What with all the softness and roundness of Greene and Greene features would it not have been in keeping to keep the ebony ends as round instead of squaring the mortice.

    Does the spline serve a functional purpose or more for decoration? It looked like you only planned to glue it on one side and the other floated free.

    From what I am aware functionality was *implied* in more cases than as not. Many details like this acted either as an extension/accentuation of exposed joinery or actually underlying "boring" joinery methods (Ebony plugs hiding recessed screws, splines hiding tongued and grooved ends, etc). Whilst the Greenes were excellent architects and designers, Peter and John Hall were pivotal in the execution of the works. Given the scope of the projects, things like screws make practical sense.
