on BBC Two England

The story of John Weston Thomas, craftsman Carpenter and joiner, merchant seaman, gunsmith, miniaturist, teacher, shipbuilder, maker of Welsh harps - John Weston Thomas has been all these things. Now. at forty-six, he is a craftsman with few equals in Wales or indeed in Great Britain.
You think at the time, well, this it good, this is a masterpiece. But when you look at it again later, you see a little flaw and you think, oh! I could do better than that
