Bandsaw artist

My dad would see something like this on TV, and he'd say: "sure, but I'll bet he's practiced it."

    Wow, I loved this one! Amazing! No, stupefying! Of course, the guy has had a lotta practice. Still stupefying. Thanks for the post!

  2. Nice work with the saw.

    Happy to see him keep all of his fingers.

  3. It's strange how a lot of people figure if the person practiced, that somehow invalidates it.

  4. Yes, that was what my father was making fun of.

  5. "sure, but I'll bet he's practiced it."
    That brings the question of if you have to practice. Are you truly a artist?

    I know that some untrained people can create art. Others must practice to achieve the same results.

    Considering what passes for art these days, I can believe that. However, true artists - for example, any of the Renaissance masters - needed training despite their innate talent.

    Nice (attempted) save.
