Sometimes people you didn’t know or even know their name have profound influence on your life.
I have recently learned of one such person, Russ Morash. It was through YouTube that I learned of his existence.
He was the creator of “This Old House” and “The New Yankee Workshop”. Two TV shows that I didn’t miss in the 90’s.
The New Yankee Workshop was the show hosted by Norm Abrams, that taught me the basics of woodworking and helped me through my early years of contracting.
That show even gave me the inspiration for the sliding barn doors that are on my shop today. The shop with the doos and where the show was filmed is own by Russ Morash, as it his home.
I owe a huge debt of gratitude for the skills that were taught to me by these two gentleman.
Russ Morash has passed away in the last week. A man that altered my life in a profound way…
To him and Norm, I say…
Thank You!
