    If you lose the value of 2 hours of this wisdom because of the amateur level of the recording, you dont even deserve to be here. This was a wonderful talk.

      When video came out and even a FWW video was badly produced compared to most people with UA-cam channels today, it always irritated me when some people would criticize the production values while it was such an explosive opportunity after centuries of separation to actually see how something was done. To be in touch with the very thing one was trying to approach.

    Back in the 70s when FWW, Van Nostrand Reinhold, and Kodansha, introduced us to the likes of Krenov, Carpenter, Nakashima, and Maloof, who would have guessed there would be so few to come forward afterwards to play similar roles.

    What a treat! I miss the crotchety old man! Just was re-reading A Cabinetmakers Notebook a couple weeks ago. It always revives my spirit on bad back pain days...

      Im in that club also :( Im paraplegic. With decent medication life has improved exponentially. There are Ned's that are abke to crumple up your pain and spit it out! I went from 20 hrs bedrest to 16+ hours shop time and family time. :). And your head won't be foggy or "high" it just gives you back your independence.

    any other videos you could post would be deeply appreciated. I am a violinmaker but am strongly influenced by him, although I never had the chance to meet him.

    Sound production filled with coughing, sniffing, chocking and hacking and other distractions. Content is excellent!

      I agree. To hear his opinion woodworking at all is worth it.

      I think he was putting them to sleep, hence the nervous hacking.

    Krenov is a great teacher and has mad skills but I think he combs his hair with a damp finger and a live light socket🤔
