This sure did not hurt!
and I agree that not only is his stuff getting better, he has a magic eye for capturing proportion, shape, colors...
When R.J. Mitchell designed the Spitfire in the late 1930s, he simply sketched what he instinctively knew was a almost perfect shape and design for an airframe. That was functional in its beauty.
Andy has the same knack. Understanding that functional and beautiful are often the same thing.
Got some time to kill? This is a video of my buddy Ed Parry of Blackhart Longrifles. He has built me 3 rifles and restored two more and is about to start a 4th, a Hall Rifle.
This video is Ed giving his talk on The Golden Mean, while a bit low on the cinematography side, is brilliant in its content. And shows how guys like Andy get things right seemingly by instinct? Or maybe by science?
Ed is retired Navy Submarine NCO. Built his first rifle on a cruise.
An amazing craftsman and a great guy!
Cheers, Sirhr
