Several years ago, I interviewed Seamus and one of the things we talked about was his woodworking hobby. Here's the excerpt:
And here are some of the things Seamus posted recently on instagram. It looks as though he does really good work, and I love that he answers people's questions in the instagram comment section.
On a personal note, I hear you had a birthday recently. Did you do anything fun?
I worked at Castle until very late. I celebrated a small little party with my dad. My dad was born two days before I was and every 11 years we have a reciprocal birthday where he turns one number and I turn the reverse number. I turned 36 and he turned 63. It's sort of a funny, weird thing that my dad had me when he was 27 and every 11 years starting when I was three we have reciprocal birthdays. So I spent it with my Dad. That's what we generally do. I took him stained glass shopping because he's into stained glass and he bought me a bunch of tools because I'm into woodworking. He bought me a bunch of cool clamps and stuff.
Your Twitter followers (@seamusdever) have gotten to see some of your woodworking projects. Have you made anything interesting lately?
I made a great table the other day. I made some table tops out of old Bordeaux cases. They're all pine so it's a really soft wood so you can cut it pretty easily and it's light weight. I figured out that I can use six of these Bordeaux case fronts together where they have the name of the chateau. My wife and I are into wine. I did this cool little project where I made them look like they were made a long time ago and did a fun amber shellack and covered them with polyurethane and now they're outside on my patio. I just love working with fine detail and I guess I've always sort of been into carpentry so that's something that I've been working on in my shop.
