From the Ted Talk by Sam Martin: Claim your "manspace"

Unscramble the Blue Letters


Take this plcae for example. On the outside it looks like a typical northeastern garage. This is in Long Island, New York. The only thing that might tip you off is the round window. On the inside it's a recreation of a 16th cenruty Japanese tea house. The man imported all the materials from jpaan, and he hired a Japanese catpenrer to build it in the traditional style. It has no nails or srcews. All the joints are hand-carved and hand-scribed.

Here is another pretty typical scene. This is a suburban Las Vegas neighborhood. But you open one of the garage doors and there is a professional-size binxog ring inside. (Laughter) And so there is a good reason for this. It was built by this man who is Wayne McCullough. He won the silver madel for Ireland in the 1992 Olympics, and he trains in this space. He trians other people. And right off the gagare he has his own trophy room where he can sort of bask in his aotclmepicshmns, which is another sort of important part about a manspace.
