Does he pay for the coppiced wood from the forestry commision? Good to use other peoples land and wood instead of your own, ha ha

Dude's a hack. His guilt for participating in a craft he "enjoys", is the reason for all this pretense. Roy Underhill, was the first famous Woodworker to promote conservation, reclaimed wood, planting farms in conjunction with sustainable farming. But he was the voice of many woodworkers & craftsman who felt the same way. Honestly Mr. Cox work is pedestrian by many craftsman standard, & there are plenty of amazing craftsman doing amazing work, who hold his views, which he appropriated. His marketing of playing on heart strings of environmentalists & the fine art institution has served him well.

Thoroughly enjoyed this and was inspired by the message. I'll look at my hobby in a different light now. More please.

Very nice ❤

Sustainability is non-sense.

Probably the best 59 minutes and 12 seconds I spent on UA-cam in a long time.

Brilliantly conceiced and beautifully created. Thank you for sharing Sebastian's story here for the broadest of audiences to consume.

He sold out to the rich pigs 🐖 😂

Mmm. a marketing video? Selling out for money and pretending to be noble. I am not convinced; but yes, the video, like the original furniture is beautiful and well made. But then again so is deception.

Build something nice. The facts of life are some people are able to buy expensive pieces . I am not one of them but that’s just the facts. Not everyone can have high end expensive furniture and that’s ok

What a beautiful portrait of a man and a craft. Thank you.

Thank you. An insightful film into a very interesting maker.

There is no perfect solution but the art is in creatively pursuing alternative paths, drawing on the past within the limitations and potential of our current systems. If you want perfection and purity, then either we have to return to artists having private patrons or upending the capitalist system.

Hello, are you hiring. You can throw me into the deep end also.. 😅

Get off of it already. You can’t have a damn furniture documentary without the tree hugging talk.

🤗

He's got that Prince Harry vibe going... doesn't he!

Furniture making has gone so far up it's own arse, it's painful to watch.

I don’t mind paying for quality, I do mind paying for status.

She made the right call not having an undercut on the carved table. It appeared “light” by the carving. My opinion.

Thank you! This question about how much more stuff do we need and our obsession with more and how do we sustain our planet is something that I struggle with everyday.

This is beautiful.

21:16 Drawers opening not smooth at all and you using it for display.

Bs

Can you just make furniture without promoting marx ideology.

Thanks Lawrence..a fascinating insight into your craft…

Fascinating documentary ..thanks

Fabulous

Фильм был бы не плохой , если бы в нём не было столько пафоса и пазёрства. Скромнее, скромнее.

Nothing says sustainable like mass production through Chinese slave labor. China doesn’t care about their people or their impact on the environment. Government sets taxes and regulations so high that it forces companies to use china.

IKEA is not being honest about their sustainability. You better get better informed about how they are using subcontractors that are destroying woodland in Romania.

Well, I think there is a contradiction in selling sustainable but highly expensive funiture to rich people who distroy the world with their way of living or businesses. Am I wrong?

Great story.

what a fine video, thats all I save to say. Your work is unbelievable in a not not common way.

The way he thinks about woodworking is radical. I say that in the best way possible.

does Sebastian take in apprentices?

Wow! Amazing furniture! Congratulations on your efforts it is truly inspirational!! Thank you for doing your part in saving the planet.

Great documentary. I agree - we just have to make things that are less harmful to earth.

So disappointing when one reads of negative comment, obviously a very blinked view. A most enjoyable and informative program. Brilliant determination of a one off mind….thank goodness for people everywhere like Sebastian. (And his wife of course).

This is like a coming of age tale of a young idealist, growing up and realising that the world is more complex than can be described by one philosophical idea. A very well made advertisement for this privileged guys furniture company. No matter how he tries to convince himself, he is trying to get rich off the backs of underprivileged Chinese workers. It was a great film until we find out at the end that the main dude is a massive hypocrite.

Ikea is "really doing well" on the sustainability front ànd at the same time it - like Amazon and other HUGE corporations - destroys the small and medium sized businesses. "Well done!" Ikea! And together with the growing inflation, whàt more does one want!

stunning film. stunning theme

sensational. Making notes the whole way through

Ikea destroys entire woodlands in Roumania. They use good wood to make chipwood. Unbeleivable! ua-cam.com/video/kPj88MKNnk8/v-deo.html

bro, not everything has to be available for the masses...we want scarce luxury!

Very well documented film. A lot to think about after watching it.

10:28 Interesting fact. William Morris' designs are still widely prevalent today. The Morris chair has become synonymous with craftsmanship, functionality, and aesthetics. In fact, I'm sitting on one right now. It's become such an adopted design that it now goes by many other names. Mission chair, Craftsman chair, Amish chair, etc.

I've subscribed to just about every woodworking channel on UA-cam. I just found yours. The production quality of you documentary is outstanding......like sitting in a movie theater.

Beautifully told and thank you. I'm so glad Lawrence is passing on his knowledge. I hope it carries on for further generations. I'm 55 and watched this with a lump in my throat. My father was a great maker and fixer of things, a mechanic by trade and right up until we lost him in April this year, he was always busy repairing things around the house or for friends in their little town. I'm passionate about woodworking and am building a modestly large making space at our home so as to continue to engage my children in making and fixing things with their hands. I wish I had given more time to learning from my father. I miss him every day. Many thanks and blessings to the makers of this film and to Lawrence, from Sydney, Australia - David
