Woodworking While Blind.

Posted by Alex in World Records on July 2, 2006 at 1:00 am


John Cook refused to let his blindness get in the way of things, like woodworking:

For more than 30 years, Cook has created masterpieces from scratch. But, he never sees the finished product.

"My hands are my eyes," says Cook, "I can see imperfections, unevenness that your eyes cannot see."

    Cook lost his site to glaucoma when he was just a kid.

    He seems sort of arrogant.

    He does have something to be proud of. Does that make him arrogant?

    Perhaps you should try making some furniture blindfolded, and let us know how well it goes.
