Note: These videos are from the 75th Annual League of New Hampshire Craftsmen's Fair in August 2008.

I interviewed Charles Faucher, a woodworker who was displaying his unique wood work at the 75th Annual League of New Hampshire Craftsmen's Fair on Mount Sunapee in Newbury this weekend. The show runs through August 10. Today was day one and despite a bit of rain, the show was still a hit according to some of the craftsmen I spoke with. I was so impressed with the work of Mr. Faucher that I returned to his booth a second time and asked if he would mind being interviewed. He graciously obliged. My own interviewing skills need a bit of work I think, but I hope this interview gives you some insight into the passion and commitment (not to mention creativity) that artists like Charles Faucher put in to their work.

I also shot some video of some of the various demonstrations that took place throughout the day.
