The best of Hignfy series 62

[@EleanorPeterson]

20:00 - Concrete and trees? Hmm. I used to be a cabinetmaker. I worked solo in the north of England and felled and converted most of my own timber on the land of (and with the cooperation and express permission of) local farmers. Yes, I butchered many an oak, ash, cherry, elm, chestnut, laburnum, maple, yew, sycamore and walnut and turned them into everything from desks, tables and chairs, to fancy inlaid boxes and bass guitars; but for every tree I cut down, I planted three more of the same type in its place. Three for one isn't a bad deal. I'll be dead and gone long before they reach maturity, but I feel not the slightest twinge of guilt for my destruction of Britain's beautiful natural resources because I've made every effort to leave the country in a slightly better state than I found it.

[@alexbrewer3675]

And unlike the mdf crap we get now, your furniture will last until the next generation of trees is mature ......

[@malcolmcarr5900]

You remind me of my dear old dad, who was a cabinet maker before the war, and a carpentry & joinery teacher after he was demobbed from the RAF. He would have delighted in your post, as I did, thanks.

[@Padraigp]

And that furniture those boxes those guitars will still be úsable when those trees mature and you are long gone...so not only more tree but also tables and things which dong fall apart after two months. Well done you.

I've only seen him from these compilations I've since recently been hoovering up, and I have tended to like him, but I'm quite surprised on his netflix take around the 34 minute mark, the point he's trying to make about the royal family. He knows "The Crown" is not a documentary, right? It's a very fictionalized version, inspired by real events. They do have to still make up their own stuff, as does literally every project that's a narrative piece.
