Andy Rooney's desk

I belive he made it himself. He was in a woodworking magazine a while
back.

He did a piece a year or so ago where he discussed his tools;
apparently he's a big customer of Lie Nielsen.

Personally, I never liked tree slab desks from an ascetic point of
view, and didn't particularly care for Andy's.

In the 25th anniversery issue of FWW, there's an article by him about
his woodworking.

I love his last line : We had a great commander in WWII, Dwight Eisenhower.
He became President and on leaving the White House in 1961, he said this:
"We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether
sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for
the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. ."

Well, Ike was right. That's just what's happened.

Ironically, Ike was the President that ordered the overthrow of Iran's
government and placed the Shaw in place. (DAGS Operation Ajax)

Andy should stick to building desks and commenting on the daily tommyrot of
life.

Yeah ... a big honking slab of walnut, very nice. It was unclear whether he
made the rest of the desk, but he has professed to being a wooddorker, that
he makes furniture, and has mentioned his "dream shop" in the past.

Well throw some ash on it and thrash it with a cat-o-nine-tails... would
that make you like it more?
