Did anybody see Aussie Queer Eye last night? I thought not.
Anyway, they "made over" this hairy greek guy, who runs his father's fish business - but had always wanted to "work with his timber" as romantically refered to woodworking. He had apprenticed as a carpenter but his father convinced him to come into the family fish business. He had a grandfather clock that he made when he just left school that was very impressive.
They did a good job of getting rid of his hair and giving him new clothes and took him to see a wooden furniture studio (a bit fancy) from a bloke called Nick Rodgers(?) to fire his passion.
Then they gave give every woodworking tool you could imagine and they were all Festool - it must have cost a bomb.
It all ended with him giving a speech in front of the family and telling his father that business is just buisness and they should spend more time with their family and their passions (ie his timber).
I quite enjoyed it.
