00:01:51,578 --> 00:01:52,479
First of all,
52
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:54,013
Lenny reached out to me,
53
00:01:54,013 --> 00:01:55,715
and I've been following this for a while
54
00:01:55,715 --> 00:01:57,250
now, and,
55
00:01:57,250 --> 00:01:58,618
Lenny reached out to me, and he was.
56
00:01:58,618 --> 00:02:01,721
Hey, we have this opportunity
57
00:02:01,721 --> 00:02:04,858

00:02:04,858 --> 00:02:06,993

00:02:08,962 --> 00:02:10,163
And, he's,
61
00:02:10,163 --> 00:02:10,563
you know,
62
00:02:10,563 --> 00:02:12,665
said, I've set up a GoFundMe page and,
63
00:02:12,665 --> 00:02:16,102
and, so, man, I mean, so
64
00:02:16,336 --> 00:02:17,570
and now Jaco is responsible
65
00:02:17,570 --> 00:02:18,538
for this,
66
00:02:18,538 --> 00:02:19,706
also kind of known
67
00:02:19,706 --> 00:02:21,674
as the Dutch wood artist.
68
00:02:21,674 --> 00:02:23,977
He did the night watchman.
69
00:02:23,977 --> 00:02:25,578
Is it night? My night watchman. Right.
70
00:02:25,578 --> 00:02:28,148
The Rembrandt, Rembrandt's, masterpiece.
71
00:02:30,483 --> 00:02:31,484
Night watch.
72
00:02:31,484 --> 00:02:33,853
Yes. Yeah. Okay.
73
00:02:33,853 --> 00:02:35,421
And just to just to give you
74
00:02:35,421 --> 00:02:36,689
some background is real quick.
75
00:02:36,689 --> 00:02:39,092
So we we move on.
76
00:02:39,092 --> 00:02:41,928
I think 195,000 pieces of wood
77
00:02:41,928 --> 00:02:44,697
made this work of art.
78
00:02:44,697 --> 00:02:45,932
45 species of wood
79
00:02:45,932 --> 00:02:47,901
and 52 different colors.
80
00:02:47,901 --> 00:02:50,403
Wrap your head right.
81
00:02:50,403 --> 00:02:50,737
Yeah.
82
00:02:50,737 --> 00:02:51,738
52 species of wood.
83
00:02:51,738 --> 00:02:52,038
Okay.
84
00:02:52,038 --> 00:02:54,974
I had 45, I was close,
85
00:02:54,974 --> 00:02:58,111
wrap your head around 195,000
86
00:02:58,111 --> 00:02:58,945
pieces of wood
87
00:02:58,945 --> 00:03:01,948
to make this beautiful display.
88
00:03:02,148 --> 00:03:03,416
It took two and a half years
89
00:03:03,416 --> 00:03:04,217
of preparation
90
00:03:04,217 --> 00:03:05,118
and hundreds of hours
91
00:03:05,118 --> 00:03:06,252
of cutting and gluing
92
00:03:06,252 --> 00:03:07,187
and countless
93
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:10,190
people, involved to make this happen.
94
00:03:10,356 --> 00:03:13,359
And,
95
00:03:13,393 --> 00:03:14,027
I get this right.
96
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:15,528
You said you dedicate yourself
97
00:03:15,528 --> 00:03:15,962
fully to this
98
00:03:15,962 --> 00:03:19,065
project, sold everything you owned,
99
00:03:19,065 --> 00:03:19,899
including your
100
00:03:19,899 --> 00:03:21,067
your house,
101
00:03:21,067 --> 00:03:22,502
and moved it to a small apartment
102
00:03:22,502 --> 00:03:23,536
to raise funds for this.
103
00:03:23,536 --> 00:03:26,039
So my very first question for you is,
104
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:26,739
are you married?
105
00:03:28,608 --> 00:03:31,578
Oh.
106
00:03:44,791 --> 00:03:47,627
Well, I'll tell you,
107
00:03:47,627 --> 00:03:51,197
it is, absolutely extraordinary.
108
00:03:51,197 --> 00:03:54,167
I mean, it's just hard to imagine.
109
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:55,435
I have so many questions for you,
110
00:03:55,435 --> 00:03:56,703
and you guys can chime in,
111
00:03:56,703 --> 00:03:57,670
letting you chime in
112
00:03:57,670 --> 00:03:59,339
any time you guys want.
113
00:03:59,339 --> 00:04:01,908
But first thing I did,
114
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:02,542
you ever think about
115
00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:04,177
giving up in this process
116
00:04:04,177 --> 00:04:07,146
is you ever think about,
117
00:04:07,146 --> 00:04:07,547
yeah.
118
00:04:07,547 --> 00:04:10,550
Yeah.
119
00:04:15,855 --> 00:04:18,858
Yeah.
120
00:04:19,792 --> 00:04:21,327
Yeah, yeah.
121
00:04:21,327 --> 00:04:22,128
Well,
122
00:04:22,128 --> 00:04:23,396
I have to congrat for
123
00:04:23,396 --> 00:04:25,231
before I have to congratulate you
124
00:04:25,231 --> 00:04:26,833
before I do anything else, and I'm.
125
00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:28,067
It's honored to talk to you.
126
00:04:28,067 --> 00:04:29,936
I mean, the dedication to this.
127
00:04:29,936 --> 00:04:30,703
And it is.
128
00:04:30,703 --> 00:04:31,571
We don't often
129
00:04:31,571 --> 00:04:32,772
see it in today's
130
00:04:32,772 --> 00:04:34,774
day and age of throwing down
131
00:04:34,774 --> 00:04:36,309
fast cookie cutter everything.
132
00:04:36,309 --> 00:04:36,509
Yeah,
133
00:04:36,509 --> 00:04:37,877
and there's a housing developed down
134
00:04:37,877 --> 00:04:38,878
the road for me.
135
00:04:38,878 --> 00:04:39,846
They built
136
00:04:39,846 --> 00:04:42,482
200 houses in a matter of a few months.
137
00:04:42,482 --> 00:04:43,516
Everything's cookie cutter.
138
00:04:43,516 --> 00:04:45,018
Everything's all the same.
139
00:04:45,018 --> 00:04:45,618
Everything to,
140
00:04:45,618 --> 00:04:47,186
to to really,
141
00:04:47,186 --> 00:04:49,455
a masterpiece of work, of art.
142
00:04:49,455 --> 00:04:51,724
And today, in today's day and age,
143
00:04:51,724 --> 00:04:53,026
I think is almost more incredible
144
00:04:53,026 --> 00:04:54,127
than any time in our history
145
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:55,361
with so many distractions
146
00:04:55,361 --> 00:04:56,629
and cell phones and,
147
00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:57,563
you know, money
148
00:04:57,563 --> 00:05:00,233
and all these obligations that come at us
149
00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:00,900
for you to
150
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,269
to take the time involved,
151
00:05:03,269 --> 00:05:05,271
it's just unbelievable to me
152
00:05:05,271 --> 00:05:06,372
and that you've shared it
153
00:05:06,372 --> 00:05:09,375
with the industry and other people,
154
00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:12,045
as even says even more about you.
155
00:05:12,045 --> 00:05:14,147
So really, congratulations on this.
156
00:05:29,429 --> 00:05:32,432
Yeah.
157
00:05:52,151 --> 00:05:55,154
Okay.
158
00:06:54,947 --> 00:06:55,114
Yeah.
159
00:06:55,114 --> 00:06:56,182
I was going to ask you about that.
160
00:06:56,182 --> 00:06:59,185
Yeah.
161
00:07:38,658 --> 00:07:41,627
So that.
162
00:07:50,903 --> 00:07:53,906
So.
163
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:59,479
Well.
164
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:04,984
Yeah.
165
00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:07,987
Yeah.
166
00:08:10,590 --> 00:08:13,860
So so so that was like 25 years ago.
167
00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:14,961
You say this park

00:08:14,961 --> 00:08:17,964
in your, in your head about this.
169
00:08:18,064 --> 00:08:19,866
That's amazing.
170
00:08:19,866 --> 00:08:21,634
So let me ask Lenny.

00:13:30,075 --> 00:13:30,709
When when
195
00:13:30,709 --> 00:13:32,344
when Lenny reached out to me,
196
00:13:32,344 --> 00:13:35,347
and I seen that we can fund me.
197
00:13:38,818 --> 00:13:40,386
Well,
198
00:13:40,386 --> 00:13:42,555
it here was my plan.
199
00:13:42,555 --> 00:13:43,856
So, when Frankfurt
200
00:13:43,856 --> 00:13:45,257
Lenny first reached out to me,
201
00:13:45,257 --> 00:13:46,659
I don't need to go fund me page.
202
00:13:46,659 --> 00:13:48,694
And I thought, on the podcast,
203
00:13:48,694 --> 00:13:50,663
I'm going to put Rob on the spot and say,
204
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:52,331
hey, I donated, so you need to donate.
205
00:13:52,331 --> 00:13:53,999
But he had already donated. So.
206
00:13:57,403 --> 00:13:58,103
So for
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:13:58,637
for the for
208
00:13:58,637 --> 00:13:59,238
the listeners,
209
00:13:59,238 --> 00:14:01,507
any kind of small donation,
210
00:14:01,507 --> 00:14:02,441
everything helps.
211
00:14:02,441 --> 00:14:03,776
I mean, it is a wonderful
212
00:14:03,776 --> 00:14:05,945
you can imagine the amount of time
213
00:14:05,945 --> 00:14:06,478
and everything.
214
00:14:06,478 --> 00:14:08,414
And this is a once in a lifetime flaw.
215
00:14:08,414 --> 00:14:08,747
Really.
216
00:14:08,747 --> 00:14:09,915
It is a it's a it's
217
00:14:09,915 --> 00:14:11,350
a, it's a masterpiece.
218
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:13,452
So and if you're going to the convention
219
00:14:13,452 --> 00:14:14,954
just a little, every little bit
220
00:14:14,954 --> 00:14:15,621
as the monkey said
221
00:14:15,621 --> 00:14:16,622
when he peed in the ocean,
222
00:14:16,622 --> 00:14:19,225
every little bit helps.
223
00:14:19,225 --> 00:14:21,627
Any anything you can give it all
224
00:14:21,627 --> 00:14:23,028
would really mean a lot.
225
00:14:23,028 --> 00:14:23,662
And,
226
00:14:23,662 --> 00:14:24,697
and it would be great
227
00:14:24,697 --> 00:14:27,700
to see this work of art.
228
00:14:32,271 --> 00:14:35,274
Wow.
229
00:14:35,908 --> 00:14:38,911
Yeah.
230
00:14:43,349 --> 00:14:46,352
That.
231
00:14:50,656 --> 00:14:53,626
Yep.
232
00:15:06,438 --> 00:15:09,408
Wow.
233
00:15:15,881 --> 00:15:17,483
I was
234
00:15:17,483 --> 00:15:18,250
I was going to
235
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:20,085
I was going to say, the class guys,
236
00:15:20,085 --> 00:15:21,854
and I'm not surprised. And and.
237
00:15:30,696 --> 00:15:31,130
Yeah.
238
00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:32,698
And, I saw a TikTok.
239
00:15:32,698 --> 00:15:33,365
Josh Hanson
240
00:15:33,365 --> 00:15:34,767
put a video out, and actually,
241
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:35,567
what he did was pretty cool
242
00:15:35,567 --> 00:15:38,837
because he put one of your one of your,
243
00:15:38,837 --> 00:15:40,472
I guess pieces of wood, like,
244
00:15:40,472 --> 00:15:42,408
like that's how big it is.
245
00:15:42,408 --> 00:15:44,576
And it's a sugar cube. Yeah.
246
00:15:44,576 --> 00:15:46,645
And imagine 195,000. And he made it.
247
00:15:46,645 --> 00:15:47,880
He put a great story together
248
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,114
and put it on TikTok.
249
00:15:49,114 --> 00:15:51,150
Is, also asking,
250
00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:52,885
so, you know, a lot of,
251
00:15:52,885 --> 00:15:54,253
a lot of, lot went into it.
252
00:15:54,253 --> 00:15:54,653
Y'all go
253
00:15:54,653 --> 00:15:55,955
you have a lot of people in your corner,
254
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:58,123
a lot of really good people,
255
00:15:58,123 --> 00:15:59,325
you know, rooting for you here.
256
00:15:59,325 --> 00:16:02,328
Okay.
257
00:16:16,275 --> 00:16:17,676
Yeah.
258
00:16:17,676 --> 00:16:20,079
Good.
259
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:22,448
Well, well,
260
00:16:22,448 --> 00:16:23,749
then let's talk about this piece.
261
00:16:23,749 --> 00:16:24,216
So, so
262
00:16:24,216 --> 00:16:26,719
I have got so many questions for you and,
263
00:16:26,719 --> 00:16:27,152
there's two,
264
00:16:27,152 --> 00:16:28,754
so we'll kind of make them quick.
265
00:16:28,754 --> 00:16:31,590
When it first started to take shape.
266
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:32,358
And you can start
267
00:16:32,358 --> 00:16:34,360
to see the vision of all that.
268
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:35,561
I mean, you know, 25 years ago,
269
00:16:35,561 --> 00:16:36,729
the seed was planted.
270
00:16:36,729 --> 00:16:38,230
Then you're cutting up these squares
271
00:16:38,230 --> 00:16:38,897
and you and all you're doing
272
00:16:38,897 --> 00:16:39,932
is cutting up these squares
273
00:16:39,932 --> 00:16:40,466
and everything,
274
00:16:40,466 --> 00:16:42,301
and then you start putting them together
275
00:16:42,301 --> 00:16:43,936
when it first started to take shape.
276
00:16:43,936 --> 00:16:44,470
And you could
277
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:46,438
first see the vision take place.
278
00:16:46,438 --> 00:16:47,639
What was that like for you?
279
00:16:52,711 --> 00:16:55,714
In digital form.
280
00:17:39,158 --> 00:17:42,161
Yeah.
281
00:17:43,395 --> 00:17:46,398
Yeah.
282
00:18:00,946 --> 00:18:03,949
It's.
283
00:18:04,149 --> 00:18:07,119
Yep.
284
00:18:31,009 --> 00:18:31,677
Yeah.
285
00:18:31,677 --> 00:18:34,680
And.
286
00:19:08,614 --> 00:19:11,617
Well,
287
00:19:49,021 --> 00:19:52,024
Well.
288
00:20:03,769 --> 00:20:06,772
Yep.
289
00:20:26,658 --> 00:20:29,661
That.
290
00:20:31,863 --> 00:20:34,866
Right.
291
00:20:48,814 --> 00:20:49,114
Yep.
292
00:20:49,114 --> 00:20:52,117
Yep.
293
00:20:57,823 --> 00:20:58,323
Not.
294
00:20:58,323 --> 00:20:59,057
Not the whole.
295
00:20:59,057 --> 00:21:02,060
Yeah.
296
00:21:13,839 --> 00:21:16,808
Wow.
297
00:21:32,124 --> 00:21:32,858
So.
298
00:21:32,858 --> 00:21:33,191
Okay.
299
00:21:33,191 --> 00:21:35,327
So then now you got it down,
300
00:21:35,327 --> 00:21:36,194
and you're sanding.
301
00:21:36,194 --> 00:21:39,898
You sanded when the when the oil first
302
00:21:39,998 --> 00:21:41,500
went on the floor.
303
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:41,833
Yeah.
304
00:21:41,833 --> 00:21:42,334
And you're
305
00:21:42,334 --> 00:21:43,335
putting the craft oil on
306
00:21:43,335 --> 00:21:44,136
for the first time,
307
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:46,138
and it's starting to come to life
308
00:21:46,138 --> 00:21:47,906
after all that work.
309
00:21:47,906 --> 00:21:50,909
That had to be amazing.
310
00:21:59,685 --> 00:22:02,688
Okay.
311
00:22:06,091 --> 00:22:07,859
Oh, my God
312
00:22:07,859 --> 00:22:08,226
says it.
313
00:22:08,226 --> 00:22:11,296
Wait, did you say 70, 70,000?
314
00:22:44,229 --> 00:22:47,199
Wow.
315
00:22:55,474 --> 00:22:58,477
Chisel or.
316
00:23:00,645 --> 00:23:03,648
Router.
317
00:23:11,123 --> 00:23:14,126
Right.
318
00:23:23,402 --> 00:23:23,769
Yeah.
319
00:23:23,769 --> 00:23:25,337
So you know what? That's a very.
320
00:23:25,337 --> 00:23:26,271
Let's let's stop here
321
00:23:26,271 --> 00:23:27,305
because that's a very good point.
322
00:23:27,305 --> 00:23:28,440
So this is
323
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:29,207
I mean, when,
324
00:23:29,207 --> 00:23:31,476
when the guys are doing stuff like this,
325
00:23:31,476 --> 00:23:34,613
the lesson here to this not to get
326
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:36,281
not to give up or get frustrated
327
00:23:36,281 --> 00:23:37,416
because there will be issues.
328
00:23:37,416 --> 00:23:38,583
There will be challenges,
329
00:23:38,583 --> 00:23:40,419
you know, that's not going to go smooth,
330
00:23:40,419 --> 00:23:42,921
that you'll run across things. Right?
331
00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:43,255
Yeah.
332
00:23:45,824 --> 00:23:46,825
Yeah.
333
00:23:46,825 --> 00:23:47,292
Okay.
334
00:23:47,292 --> 00:23:50,295
So.
335
00:23:54,433 --> 00:23:57,436
Yeah.
336
00:23:58,437 --> 00:24:00,372
And this is where well,
337
00:24:00,372 --> 00:24:01,440
I've only done one.
338
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,042
I'm by no means comparing it to this,
339
00:24:04,042 --> 00:24:05,477
but I won't do one really,
340
00:24:05,477 --> 00:24:07,078
with the artistic floor.
341
00:24:07,078 --> 00:24:08,747
And it is at that time that I realized
342
00:24:08,747 --> 00:24:10,849
I understand why artists go crazy.
343
00:24:10,849 --> 00:24:12,818
Because where do you stop?
344
00:24:12,818 --> 00:24:14,252
Where does the art stop?
345
00:24:14,252 --> 00:24:15,520
When? When is enough enough?
346
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:16,054
And when do you.
347
00:24:16,054 --> 00:24:16,555
You know what I mean.
348
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:19,057
And you pull back.
349
00:24:19,057 --> 00:24:22,060
That's a.
350
00:24:24,429 --> 00:24:27,399
Yeah.
351
00:24:42,013 --> 00:24:45,016
Yeah, yeah.
352
00:24:45,684 --> 00:24:47,486
Yeah.
353
00:24:47,486 --> 00:24:48,320
Okay.
354
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,323
Have you figured it out yet?
355
00:25:16,214 --> 00:25:16,548
Okay.
356
00:25:16,548 --> 00:25:18,383
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I got you.
357
00:25:18,383 --> 00:25:21,853
So when you do a job.
358
00:25:21,987 --> 00:25:24,489
I mean, this one is unique.
359
00:25:24,489 --> 00:25:25,090
And that.
360
00:25:25,090 --> 00:25:26,691
That's not really for anybody
361
00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:28,260
in particular, right?
362
00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:28,660
I mean,
363
00:25:28,660 --> 00:25:28,860
I mean,
364
00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:30,629
you're not selling it to somebody,
365
00:25:30,629 --> 00:25:32,364
but when you do, like you did the,
366
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:34,499
the the flooring is one,
367
00:25:34,499 --> 00:25:35,634
how do you approach
368
00:25:35,634 --> 00:25:36,935
custom commissions like that?
369
00:25:36,935 --> 00:25:38,069
When, when,
370
00:25:38,069 --> 00:25:39,337
I mean, what information do you need
371
00:25:39,337 --> 00:25:40,171
from your clients,
372
00:25:40,171 --> 00:25:42,040
and how do you go about charging for,
373
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,208
for, for work like that?
374
00:25:44,543 --> 00:25:47,546
They.
375
00:26:30,088 --> 00:26:33,091
Yeah.
376
00:26:40,665 --> 00:26:42,767
Yeah.
377
00:26:42,767 --> 00:26:45,770
Yeah.
378
00:27:14,733 --> 00:27:16,835
Yeah.
379
00:27:16,835 --> 00:27:19,404
How much latitude, do clients
380
00:27:19,404 --> 00:27:22,407
have to influence the final, design?
381
00:27:51,069 --> 00:27:53,672
You are a true artist, Jaco.
382
00:27:53,672 --> 00:27:54,906
You really are.
383
00:27:54,906 --> 00:27:57,742
And to be able to, to
384
00:27:57,742 --> 00:28:00,645
to hold your ground and say, listen,
385
00:28:00,645 --> 00:28:02,480
I have this design in mind.
386
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:03,982
Is, is my creation,
387
00:28:03,982 --> 00:28:06,084
and this is what it's going to be
388
00:28:06,084 --> 00:28:08,420
and and not allow other people
389
00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:10,021
to influence you.
390
00:28:10,021 --> 00:28:13,024
Especially because.
391
00:28:13,324 --> 00:28:15,060
Yeah,
392
00:28:15,060 --> 00:28:18,063
yeah, yeah.
393
00:28:18,697 --> 00:28:21,499
Best answer I've ever heard.
394
00:28:21,499 --> 00:28:24,502
Yes.
395
00:29:37,008 --> 00:29:40,011
Yeah.
396
00:29:43,348 --> 00:29:46,351
Yeah.
397
00:30:08,072 --> 00:30:10,008
Yeah.
398
00:30:10,008 --> 00:30:13,011
Yeah.
399
00:30:23,188 --> 00:30:25,356
You know, I think,
400
00:30:25,356 --> 00:30:26,558
I think linear is so good.
401
00:30:26,558 --> 00:30:28,459
I think we take you for granted.
402
00:30:28,459 --> 00:30:31,429
I really do. You.
403
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:32,997
Have you seen you in the schools
404
00:30:32,997 --> 00:30:35,266
do so many different things.
405
00:30:35,266 --> 00:30:35,800
You know what I mean?
406
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,735
On the spur of the moment and where,
407
00:30:37,735 --> 00:30:38,069
you know,
408
00:30:38,069 --> 00:30:39,871
if I would even approach
409
00:30:39,871 --> 00:30:40,538
that type of work,
410
00:30:40,538 --> 00:30:41,439
it would take me forever
411
00:30:41,439 --> 00:30:42,373
just figuring it out.
412
00:30:42,373 --> 00:30:44,242
And, you know, you'd be done
413
00:30:44,242 --> 00:30:45,143
by the time I learn,
414
00:30:45,143 --> 00:30:46,177
trying to figure out how to do it.
415
00:31:17,408 --> 00:31:18,309
Yep.
416
00:31:18,309 --> 00:31:21,312
Yep.
417
00:31:54,979 --> 00:31:57,982
Yeah.
418
00:32:11,362 --> 00:32:11,763
True.
419
00:32:11,763 --> 00:32:11,863
And.
420
00:32:11,863 --> 00:32:14,866
And also.
421
00:32:45,730 --> 00:32:48,700
Yeah.
422
00:32:54,572 --> 00:32:57,575
Yeah.
423
00:33:07,719 --> 00:33:08,119
Yeah.
424
00:33:08,119 --> 00:33:11,122
Yeah.
425
00:33:19,197 --> 00:33:22,200
Yeah.
426
00:33:39,017 --> 00:33:42,020
Yeah.
427
00:33:53,998 --> 00:33:56,701
Yeah.
428
00:33:56,701 --> 00:33:59,704
Yeah.
429
00:34:21,759 --> 00:34:24,762
Yeah.
430
00:34:25,463 --> 00:34:26,631
And I think
431
00:34:26,631 --> 00:34:27,432
and I think he said
432
00:34:27,432 --> 00:34:30,435
70,000 am I correct 70,000 pieces.
433
00:34:31,002 --> 00:34:33,838
Yeah. My gosh.
434
00:34:33,838 --> 00:34:34,906
Okay. 70 okay.
435
00:34:34,906 --> 00:34:36,574
All right. Good.
436
00:34:36,574 --> 00:34:39,577
Yeah.
437
00:34:40,912 --> 00:34:42,513
Okay
438
00:34:42,513 --> 00:34:42,847
okay.
439
00:34:42,847 --> 00:34:44,348
You said,
440
00:34:44,348 --> 00:34:45,283
you brought up a name
441
00:34:45,283 --> 00:34:46,784
that I wrote down before with the show.
442
00:34:46,784 --> 00:34:49,353
Lenny is, Jean Klotz and Jaco.
443
00:34:49,353 --> 00:34:51,589
If you don't know who Jean Klotz is,
444
00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:53,357
I would Jean Claude
445
00:34:53,357 --> 00:34:55,226
with Rene, say, in, Renaissance in
446
00:34:55,226 --> 00:34:57,028
know the floors.
447
00:34:57,028 --> 00:34:58,463
He's passed away now,
448
00:34:58,463 --> 00:35:00,932
but I would like for you to look him up
449
00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:03,701
because.
450
00:35:03,701 --> 00:35:05,470
Yes.
451
00:35:05,470 --> 00:35:06,804
In Europe, but I would
452
00:35:06,804 --> 00:35:08,439
I would like you to look him up, Yakov.
453
00:35:08,439 --> 00:35:09,607
And when you get a chance,
454
00:35:09,607 --> 00:35:11,509
because he was a one of one,
455
00:35:11,509 --> 00:35:12,276
in our industry,
456
00:35:12,276 --> 00:35:14,846
an unbelievable artist
457
00:35:14,846 --> 00:35:15,580
that I said
458
00:35:15,580 --> 00:35:17,381
will never happen again in our lifetime.
459
00:35:17,381 --> 00:35:19,317
So he did a different.
460
00:35:19,317 --> 00:35:20,918
He was he was, did a lot of inlays,
461
00:35:20,918 --> 00:35:22,286
marquetry and whatever.
462
00:35:22,286 --> 00:35:23,921
He was a master in Poland.
463
00:35:23,921 --> 00:35:26,557
So you might, you might find
464
00:35:26,557 --> 00:35:27,825
you might find him interesting.
465
00:35:29,293 --> 00:35:30,361
There you go.
466
00:35:30,361 --> 00:35:32,130
Yeah. Right.
467
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:34,699
So, let's see,
468
00:35:34,699 --> 00:35:37,001
how do you manage
469
00:35:37,001 --> 00:35:38,569
your clients expectations?
470
00:35:38,569 --> 00:35:40,505
And we kind of talked about that.
471
00:35:40,505 --> 00:35:42,940
Are there other artists and craftspeople
472
00:35:42,940 --> 00:35:44,775
that you like to collaborate with
473
00:35:44,775 --> 00:35:45,443
and what
474
00:35:45,443 --> 00:35:47,478
what comes out of those collaborations?
475
00:35:47,478 --> 00:35:50,081
And I think you're into what is a,
476
00:35:50,081 --> 00:35:51,949
the purgatory group in, in Europe.
477
00:35:51,949 --> 00:35:52,650
Is that what that is?
478
00:35:52,650 --> 00:35:55,153
Lenny?
479
00:35:55,153 --> 00:35:58,156
Yeah.
480
00:36:09,834 --> 00:36:12,837
Okay.
481
00:36:50,608 --> 00:36:53,611
Wow.
482
00:37:13,331 --> 00:37:14,365
So I'll put this question out
483
00:37:14,365 --> 00:37:15,399
to both of you guys then.
484
00:37:15,399 --> 00:37:16,901
Because I, I hear,
485
00:37:16,901 --> 00:37:18,202
I hear it rather than I hear it.
486
00:37:18,202 --> 00:37:19,370
We hear it all the time
487
00:37:19,370 --> 00:37:20,371
that,
488
00:37:20,371 --> 00:37:21,839
Yeah, I'd love to do this type of work,
489
00:37:21,839 --> 00:37:23,007
but nobody in my market
490
00:37:23,007 --> 00:37:24,442
will pay for jobs like this.
491
00:37:24,442 --> 00:37:26,077
So how would you respond to that?
492
00:37:27,979 --> 00:37:30,982
Yeah.
493
00:37:53,170 --> 00:37:56,140
Yeah.
494
00:38:46,057 --> 00:38:49,060
Yeah.
495
00:39:05,209 --> 00:39:08,212
Yeah.
496
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:18,122
Nice.
497
00:39:26,330 --> 00:39:29,300
Yeah.
498
00:39:36,173 --> 00:39:37,508
Okay, before you go, Lenny.
499
00:39:37,508 --> 00:39:38,409
So let's.
500
00:39:38,409 --> 00:39:40,678
So let's, talk about that.
501
00:39:40,678 --> 00:39:42,580
You are going to do,
502
00:39:42,580 --> 00:39:44,749
you're going to speak at the WFA.
503
00:39:44,749 --> 00:39:45,750
What is that going to happen?
504
00:39:45,750 --> 00:39:47,351
Is that the beginning closing,
505
00:39:47,351 --> 00:39:50,354
or is there like a site?
506
00:39:59,029 --> 00:40:02,032
Yeah.
507
00:40:58,989 --> 00:41:01,992
I'm.
508
00:41:26,584 --> 00:41:29,587
Into me.
509
00:41:34,058 --> 00:41:34,358
Yeah.
510
00:41:34,358 --> 00:41:34,692
Yeah.
511
00:41:34,692 --> 00:41:37,695
Yeah.
512
00:41:41,165 --> 00:41:42,800
Yeah,
513
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,768
yeah. And so.
514
00:41:44,768 --> 00:41:46,403
And also to meet the artist behind it.
515
00:41:46,403 --> 00:41:47,638
What? It'd be very cool.
516
00:41:47,638 --> 00:41:49,473
And and what have you.
517
00:41:49,473 --> 00:41:51,008
I want to say before I go going further,
518
00:41:51,008 --> 00:41:52,343
I also give credit to Madeline.
519
00:41:52,343 --> 00:41:54,578
Denny, then Denny beam,
520
00:41:54,578 --> 00:41:56,113
I hope I'm pronounce your name right.
521
00:41:56,113 --> 00:41:56,981
Madeline.
522
00:41:56,981 --> 00:41:59,683
With Bono and, on our marketing side,
523
00:41:59,683 --> 00:42:02,419
who really fought to to to get donations.
524
00:42:02,419 --> 00:42:05,022
Everything So how do you go?
525
00:42:05,022 --> 00:42:05,589
Can you get that?
526
00:42:05,589 --> 00:42:06,824
Can you now go back
527
00:42:06,824 --> 00:42:09,727
to, doing just a simple floor? Now?
528
00:42:13,264 --> 00:42:16,267
Yes, yes, yes.
529
00:42:38,222 --> 00:42:38,722
I was going to
530
00:42:38,722 --> 00:42:39,523
I was going to say is,
531
00:42:39,523 --> 00:42:41,125
I mean, any tortured artist
532
00:42:41,125 --> 00:42:42,293
and I consider,
533
00:42:42,293 --> 00:42:44,061
myself at one time
534
00:42:44,061 --> 00:42:46,063
being that I was obsessed.
535
00:42:46,063 --> 00:42:48,732
When I get an idea for a floor, my head,
536
00:42:48,732 --> 00:42:49,900
you just get obsessed with it.
537
00:42:49,900 --> 00:42:51,168
So I know you got one
538
00:42:51,168 --> 00:42:53,103
floating around in your head somewhere.
539
00:42:53,103 --> 00:42:54,271
What do you want to do?
540
00:42:54,271 --> 00:42:56,140
And I know, lady, you're the same,
541
00:42:56,140 --> 00:42:58,375
but you got it's. You know.
542
00:42:58,375 --> 00:43:00,010
Yeah,
543
00:43:00,010 --> 00:43:03,013
yeah, yeah, yeah,
544
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,083
yeah.
545
00:44:36,674 --> 00:44:39,643
Yeah.
546
00:44:51,388 --> 00:44:53,157
So,
547
00:44:53,157 --> 00:44:55,025
Yeah I seen in some of the,
548
00:44:55,025 --> 00:44:56,694
the YouTube videos or what
549
00:44:56,694 --> 00:44:57,861
have you, that you had students
550
00:44:57,861 --> 00:44:59,763
working on that as well.
551
00:44:59,763 --> 00:45:02,966
Now I, I've been in, in WFA classes
552
00:45:02,966 --> 00:45:04,201
that have been an expert class
553
00:45:04,201 --> 00:45:06,203
where everybody's working together
554
00:45:06,203 --> 00:45:06,737
pretty well.
555
00:45:06,737 --> 00:45:07,838
But we had one guy this
556
00:45:07,838 --> 00:45:09,640
like almost that at some point
557
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:10,407
he was there,
558
00:45:10,407 --> 00:45:12,276
put there to screw the whole panel up.
559
00:45:12,276 --> 00:45:13,711
Like everything he touched.
560
00:45:13,711 --> 00:45:15,579
It was destroying.
561
00:45:15,579 --> 00:45:17,281
Yeah, and I want to take him outside.
562
00:45:17,281 --> 00:45:18,315
There's only a three day class.
563
00:45:18,315 --> 00:45:20,584
I just wanted to be to beat him up.
564
00:45:20,584 --> 00:45:23,087
You know, how do you,
565
00:45:24,555 --> 00:45:27,524
how do you let go?
566
00:45:32,696 --> 00:45:33,097
So.
567
00:45:33,097 --> 00:45:34,465
So how do you let go?
568
00:45:34,465 --> 00:45:36,233
How do you trust your work of art
569
00:45:36,233 --> 00:45:37,201
in other people's hands?
570
00:45:37,201 --> 00:45:40,204
571
00:45:52,015 --> 00:45:52,850
Oh, there you go.

Yeah.
575
00:46:55,979 --> 00:46:58,982
That.
576
00:47:02,853 --> 00:47:05,856
Yeah.
577
00:47:13,831 --> 00:47:16,834
Well.
578
00:47:42,025 --> 00:47:45,028
But,
579
00:47:55,138 --> 00:47:56,807
Well,
580
00:47:56,807 --> 00:47:59,810
yeah.
581
00:48:02,045 --> 00:48:05,048
It maybe it's.
582
00:48:21,565 --> 00:48:22,866
Yeah.
583
00:48:22,866 --> 00:48:25,068
Well, I think this is going to inspire
584
00:48:25,068 --> 00:48:27,704
many, many, many people across the globe.
585
00:48:27,704 --> 00:48:30,574
So, again, congratulations.
586
00:48:30,574 --> 00:48:31,642
I know you won the floor of the year
587
00:48:31,642 --> 00:48:33,343
for this also.
588
00:48:33,343 --> 00:48:35,479
And,
589
00:48:35,479 --> 00:48:39,049
Oh, I thought I, I, I don't know either.
590
00:48:39,049 --> 00:48:39,883
I thought the votes were out.
591
00:48:39,883 --> 00:48:41,518
I thought for sure it would.
592
00:48:41,518 --> 00:48:43,020
So, then,
593
00:48:43,020 --> 00:48:43,787
what we'll take
594
00:48:43,787 --> 00:48:45,222
we'll take that out just in case.
595
00:48:45,222 --> 00:48:47,224
But I forgot for heaven's
596
00:48:47,224 --> 00:48:48,392
for for heaven's sakes.
597
00:48:48,392 --> 00:48:50,127
I mean, it has a wooden floor here.
598
00:48:50,127 --> 00:48:51,395
Or they don't.
599
00:48:53,864 --> 00:48:56,867
Yeah.
600
00:48:58,302 --> 00:48:58,802
There you go.
601
00:48:58,802 --> 00:49:00,971
Boom.
602
00:49:00,971 --> 00:49:01,204
Hey.
603
00:49:01,204 --> 00:49:02,205
Yeah, guys,

608
00:49:07,544 --> 00:49:08,712
to the to the, to
609
00:49:08,712 --> 00:49:10,847

it's it's
615
00:49:15,152 --> 00:49:16,520
really a masterpiece work of art
616
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,255
that we'll probably only see once,
617
00:49:18,255 --> 00:49:19,589
you know, maybe once in our lifetime.
618
00:49:19,589 --> 00:49:20,724
We get to see something like this
619
00:49:20,724 --> 00:49:22,426
in person and and meet the artists.
620
00:49:22,426 --> 00:49:24,428
