There's where I heard about this. I've always been fascinated by joinery and got really excited when he started talking about all his experiments. I also really loved his rule of "buy three books" when you want to learn one thing.

I think the only other time I'd heard about Massie was when his wife passed earlier this year. I was freshly awestruck by his accomplishments when I remembered it. It sounds like they lived quite a few lifetimes worth of dreams.
