Summary: <a href="https://360woodworking.com/app/uploads/2016/10/bad_cabriole_leg.jpg" rel="wp_lightbox_prettyPhoto"></a><br> In this episode of 360 with 360WoodWorking, because we know you didn’t get enough, the 360 guys discuss why quality has been sacrificed for quantity.<br> Join the guys twice each week for six lively minutes of discussion on everything from tools to techniques to wood selection (and more). Chuck & Glen, and sometimes a surprise guest, all have their own opinions. Sometimes they agree and sometimes they don’t, but the conversation is always information packed and lots of fun.<br> If you have topics you’d like to hear covered in future episodes, click <a href="mailto:360@360woodworking.com">here</a> to send an email to the guys.<br> <br> <br> Notes:<br> In an overall sense, general knowledge of, and appreciation for items of quality is being lost. The primary reason is profitability. This is true whether those profits go in your pocket as a consumer who has purchased something at a “bargain” price or to the manufacturer that produced it at a cost that still makes them obscene amounts of profit, even at that “bargain” price. As a society, we simply are not educated enough about the products we buy to know what is good in terms of design and/or quality. If woodworking, as a profession and a hobby, is in decline, this is the primary reason.<br> The leg featured in this post is a perfect example of a leg that lacks the proper proportions, style and details. The shell is too small for the knee, while the over-exaggerated ball & claw foot is too large. The leg lacks the proper curvaceousness and is rounded off, obliterating any definition.<br> <br> <br> <br> * <br> Sponsors<br> <br> <br> <a href="http://microfence.com/"></a><a href="http://microfence.com/">Microfence</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://adjustabench.com/"></a><a href="http://adjustabench.com/">Adjust-a-bench</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
