I was visiting a friend in MA who was doing some repair work to his house
which was built by shakers over 200 years ago. There was a part of the inner
wall removed showing the infrastructure. He pointed out the detail the
craftsmen had done to the innermost parts of the woodwork where no one would
ever see them. He explained that to them, that to leave even the inner parts
of the construction as less than perfect would be to disrespect the higher
power and with that, every piece of wood behind the inner wall was smoothed
as if it were sanded with fine grit paper. It was quite beautiful to see.
Bet they would have made some beautiful radio gear.
