back in the 1950s.

1930s.
- Hear... Rude's words of wisdom and advice.

woodturning not only as an art form but also as a business. He wrote about those people and brought them together for the
first time. We wouldn't be here today if he hadn't done that."

taking a piece of wood and making a bowl."
