Norm Abrams, Tim someone on "Home Improvements", Handy Andy off
"Changing Rooms".
You did say _influential_, sad though this TV-driven pile of MDF crap
is.

Well, he did get kicked out of engineering school at the University
of Wisconsin. Hey... I know other people who share that honor.

Greene & Greene, designers and builders of "The Gamble House". That's
a piece of furniture cleverly disguised as a house. Someday I'll figure
out how to steal it and then "Good Bye Pasadena, hello New York!" USC
ownes it now because some freaking retard who wanted to buy the place
mentioned that he was going to paint the inside white. The Gambles
(Proctor & Gamble fame) said "No you're not, monkey boy!".
You can get tours of the place if you want to suffer from home envy for

IMO, FLW was at the blunted edge of today's "form over function" mentality.
Come to think of it, breast augmentation, Bo-tox and blindingly bright
teeth, to name a just few, are manifestations of that same, spoiled,
appearance-counts-more-than-substance mindset.
A pox on the ilk.

I would have to say in North America one of the most influential
furniture manufacturing names would have to be:
Leopold Stickley and his younger brother, John George Stickley who pretty
well brought the mission style of furniture into what we know it as today.

I've learned something from every woodworker I've ever come in contact with.
None of which are on your list and none of the techniques/shortcuts I've
picked up will never be found in a book as each of us learns unique
techniques along the way.
My humble opinion.

if he did, I'd hate to see it. FLW was a visionary, a thinker, an
artist. whether you like his stuff is up to you. he wasn't an
engineer, and as a builder he sucked- many of his structures have had
to be essentially rebuilt to keep them from being dangerous to occupy.
he had a tendency to extend himself beyond his ability- admirable or
foolhardy, depending on your point of view. he achieved a lot with
very little, but he left a lot of half-baked stuff behind.

Falling Water was spectacular. Taliesin West was interesting.
But his stained glasswork sucked (waaaay to fracking busy) and
his Usonian stuff too utilitarian and ugly. The more I read
about his work and see pictures of his buildings, the less I
find to worship about the guy.
