I'm so glad UA-cam offered closed captions for this video... the saw was described as [Music], the coping saw was [Laughter], and the hammer was [Applause]. UA-cam appreciates art.
Scott Barber... Your obsevation brought strong to mind a couple a fitting quotes. Thank's for stirrin 'em up. "To be a master of metaphor," Aristotle wrote in his Poetics, "is the greatest thing by far. It is the one thing that cannot be learnt from others, and it is also a sign of genius." & I Never Metaphor I Didn't Like -Dr. Mardy Grothe 82818
Boy, it's really easy to get lost in life's troubles. I asked you about your favorite saw on Instagram today, and long story short, your reply brought me back to this video. I found you a long time ago before my wife and I embarked on our homestead lifestyle, and I watched all of your videos back then. I still follow you on all platforms, but I've been disconnected for years. We're off grid now and doing well......but I have completely lost sight of what my vision was. This has brought me back to it. Iron truly does sharpen iron. Thank you, sir. Keep up the vision...
The blend of different styles and techniques, from shaker, to Japanese, and some elements of arts and crafts,,, Well it’s all amazing. Thank you for inviting us all along on your project sir.
Having done hand-sawn dovetails myself; I really enjoyed watching your techniques in this project. Also the fact that no glues or other adhesives were used in its assembly was interesting. The way the finish emphasised the colours of the two diffenent materials was very nice to see as well. Many congratulations.
I am 62 years old and have spent the last 30 years of my life as a Millwright. I just really started into detailed wood working with hand and power. You sir are a inspiration and a marvel. Please continue to share. I will subscribe and follow all your work. Thank You very much !!
The beauty of your workmanship and just the sounds of the tools really compliment the natural beauty of the wood. Another stunning piece! Watching you is inspiring me towards giving up all of my power tools. There is nothing more that I crave than the peaceful, quiet sounds of a simplistic life.
Your talents are far beyond just a tradesman, you are true artist in wood. I so much enjoy your videos especially because you don't talk. Its like working with the old timers from our trades in the early years when I work in wood-framing crews, trimmers and such and don't need to be told how its done. I get full and complete enjoyment watching you work while I get to listen to Rush Limbaugh talk. Its great! So many of the UA-cam presenters can't stop talking and talking down to their audiences. Its like they think we are all a bunch of female-never worked a day in our lives- Libs, Not you....Rock On Mr. Chickadee.
I watched your Q&A and was left with two questions: where do you get/earn money and what form of sewage system do you have? You're an inspiration and live up to your goal of showing what people are capable of. I was surprised you'd not grown up as a woodworker but not that you've learned it so well. I have most of the power tools but am working more with my hand tools over the past years so finding your channel came at a great time for me. Peace to you and yours. Thank you.
Two beautiful woods coming together in contrasting harmony. For my woodworking walnut is more precious than gold so my wife knows when I'm making her something. Amazing work Mr. Chickadee. Ever since I found your channel you have inspired me to keep on with my woodworking.
The walnut is absolutely superb and I like the grain of the maple even better than bird's eye! When I lived in the Mississippi river valley I had access to a lot of good, tight-grained walnut and it is a dream to work with it. I admire the sharpness of your tools....seems a sharp tool rarely cuts you...it is the dull one that you end up putting too much pressure on that do the harm. You can't impress that on some guys. The handle on the box was just the icing on the cake!
Your progress over the years has been amazing to follow! It would be great if we could get a house tour some time soon, to see how all of this stuff is coming together
If I had 6 months to practice, I don't think I could take a rip saw and rip a board that straightly. Amazing and beautiful to watch. Same reason I could watch Roy Underhill all day (I even like how he breathlessly laughs at his own jokes) - amazing work with handsaws.
Dont be hard on yourself, im sure you could do better than me. It helps to go corner to corner, flip and repeat and back and forth to stay on the line.
I said it before now I MUST say it again...what marble was to Michelangelo, wood is to you!!!! Absolutely exquisite!! I really love how you weave the Japanese philosophy of wabi sabi into your creations!!! THANK YOU 🙏
What can one say but this exhibition of craftsmanship is just simply Beautiful. When it comes to any kind of woodworking with hand tools from finish work to building structures You are the Mark of excellence and The One Who is at The Top of the Grade. You are the Mold the one and only Mold.
Excellent design, beautiful wood, and outstanding workmanship. Always a pleasure to watch and learn from you Mr. Chickadee. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
Mr. Chickadee, I watch your videos like I was watching a myth or fairy tale; that you live somewhere in the Southern Forests of America, unknown to anyone but a select few, like Santa Claus or Enchanted Elves, pure and unspoiled, refusing to live like the rest, undying in your traditions. You and Tom Fagen, watching your videos is pure meditation...rr Normandy, Fr.
That turned out beautiful Josh, you use so many wedged tenons in your building of almost everything that I’ve started doing the same. Sure saves on glue ☺️. Thanks!
Absolutely love to watch you work. Its truly a pleasure! The next best thing from doing it yourself. I too am a all hand tool user. I love it!!! Very beautiful and great work!
Nice work very pretty,I've got alot of highly figured boards ,I can not wait to get the time to collect the hand tools and start learning to hands on use the methods I'm learning from your channel,thank you so much for saving this almost lost knowledge
Me traes tan buenos recuerdos con tus proyectos! Muchas de las herramientas que usas las usaba mi padre en tiempos libres, me crié con él en el taller, él no las compró las tenía de sus ancestros, no se aún de cual.... yo logré salvar alguna de ellas pero no están cuidadas, me encanta ver tus vídeos y al tiempo me siento mal.
Beautiful chamfers on beautiful wood! At 2 minutes into the video my wife and I each saw a leaf appear in the wood. We thought that maybe it would become a part of the finished box. You have great talent, skills and abilities. Thanks for the video! ....13
Nice video. Wow, the wood looks very nice. The box has become great. That's right, what wood grain has, something you can see first. When you process the wood, smile something is always a surprise. What I think is great, so that each piece of wood looks different.
Outstanding. What a beautiful piece of work. I especially like the handle of the lid. I have always wondered what type of finish you apply to your work.
Nice piece Mr Chickadee! any new up grades on the homestead some cooking videos with your oven and a tour around the homestead would make a great video! Like your channel.
I liked your pegs holding the bottom on and the handle. I tried something the other day that I have never seen done but I'm sure I'm not the first. I needed to repair a split in a piece of wood. I used the thorns from a Hawthorne tree. I ran them at an angle to the split after I clamped it. A pilot hole was necessary but they drove just like nails.
@@sawdustwoodchips are they draw bored pegs holding the frame together or in another orientation? there are also dowel joints in much traditional sash work, they had special bits and doweling boxes to accomplish this. Ive never needed it for my sash work, but some must have in the past...
I wish I could resaw that well by hand. I'd love to work by hand but Im just not able to. I switched to operating machinery when I never really progressed as far as hand work. At least I can still woodwork, but I really appreciate the skill it takes to do things the way you do. Your videos are a pleasure.
I was just not able to I develop the skill. 2 yrs working with hand tools and I just did not progress. I can still build things that turn out great bc of what I’ve learned but I just have to use machines.
Dude! That grain is, indeed, insane! This is beautiful! I had a question though. I don't know how you haven't gotten Japanese saws yet. Like, every fine carpenter I've ever met since the 80's has got at least one. I can't imagine that you don't know about them. So is it just a preference or do you not like them. Do you at least use a backsaw sometimes?

How people can put a dislike to your work puzzle me. Your work is so honest and a master craftsmen you are thank you for shearing that 👌

Mr Chickadee: How you say nothing and yet your videos say so much and I learn so much.

And what a pleasure to see what you made out of it.

I know im replying a year old comment but here you go ua-cam.com/video/IrUI77HDK8c/v-deo.html
Crazy ! In this disposable world your work is comforting! Bravo!
That's like a gorgeous painting, that moment at 14:14. Wonderful video all round.

Music for my ears when the plane is in action;
No power tools, no metal bits - just hands and the skill - insanity.

that was amazing to watch. the old handcraft without any machines or glue etc.
a most beautiful piece.
Insanely impressive. I love the handle.
That maple looked like a quilt. Absolutely gorgeous!
How this channel doesnt have @ least 1M subscribers is beyond me.
I love the contrast between the woods, especially the curly maple.Beautiful.
beautiful piece my friend! I really liked the handle, Reminds me of japanese!
Absolutely beautiful work. That wood is stunning. Bravo.
Very nice! Particularly liked the handle. Looks great!
Backwoods tools making Eastern style with panache. Amazing work once again. Beautiful woods made both sedate and flashy. Love it.
A true hand craftsman, thank you for this wholesome content.
Another priceless heirloom! I think Kitty agrees. Thanks for the beautiful artwork and craftsmanship, and thanks for the great video too!
Excellent design, beautiful wood, and outstanding workmanship. Always a pleasure to watch and learn from you Mr. Chickadee. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
WOW that AWESOME wood grain is insane in the membrane!!!
As always, I am completely impressed by your craftsmanship.
Thank you. Very beautiful box nice color contrast. Very good craftsmanship as always. Nice to see you posting more.
This chap is an absolutely awesome woodworker . An old timey woodworker at that.I don't know why he hasn't got 1/2 million subs. ?
Mr. Chickadee, I watch your videos like I was watching a myth or fairy tale; that you live somewhere in the Southern Forests of America, unknown to anyone but a select few, like Santa Claus or Enchanted Elves, pure and unspoiled, refusing to live like the rest, undying in your traditions.

This is like the best description ever!
Yeah, what he said.
Wood combination is excellent 👍
Hand work.. Great 👏
Beautiful work!
Beautiful wood, box and skills.
Beauty and quality workmanship. Nature sure has an amazing array of growth in wood.
Beautiful! It takes great skills to make something difficult look so easy and simple. Fine craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you very much!
Very cool project! I especially liked the handle :)
Thanks Dorian!
That turned out beautiful Josh, you use so many wedged tenons in your building of almost everything that I’ve started doing the same. Sure saves on glue ☺️. Thanks!
Thanks 👍
Wow, a piece of art, you are a real craftsman, thank you for sharing your passion

A very beautiful grain pattern. stunning work
Insane grain and insanely beautiful box, but that handle is even more amazing. Brilliant. And you have nerves of steel driving those wedges.
Just absolutely stunning.

Impressive talent and amazing wood grain. Challenge excepted and completed, beautiful work indeed.

Beautiful, a real 'Treasure Chest" !!
That is absolutely beautiful. Phenomenal work, sir.
I love the handle, beautiful work.
Beautiful box Mr. C! Thank you.
Highly impressed with your sawing skills. I would love to see how you keep cuts aligned; I drift all over the place.
He marked a deep line all the way around and carefully followed the line. The planed them. Pretty cool
Another absolutely beautiful project. Nicely done, sir.
Nice choice of woods for a great project!
Pure Artistry...You are a Master. Jealous of your skills.
Amazing look! Nice to see a box that needs no metal parts.
I avoid all that metal and glue whenever possible
The hand-work (vs power tools) and the avoiding nails & glue are the reasons I've enjoyed about your videos and why I subscribed
Absolutely stunning amazing craftsmanship
I love how the subtitles recognize him sawing as 🎶music🎶. Excellent work, as always.
Beautiful chamfers on beautiful wood! At 2 minutes into the video my wife and I each saw a leaf appear in the wood. We thought that maybe it would become a part of the finished box.
You have great talent, skills and abilities. Thanks for the video! ....13
Realmente me encanta tu trabajo, es de una gran calidad y belleza. Dos maderas excelentes! Gran video! Saludos desde Argentina
Cool wedged handle. Beautiful.
Very nice work. I wish I could make something that looks that beautiful.
STUNNING...Absolutely amazing! Keep on cranking out these awesome videos...class of Ur own!
That box is beautiful
Спасибо за Ваш труд. С удовольствием смотрю Ваши видео.
Nice video.

I saw what you did there
Amazing wood and amazing craftsmanship. Merry Christmas
You're fantastic, I love your works!!
I guess how hard could have been to plane such a harsh wood
Stefano from Italy
Insane in the tree grain, insane in the grain
exactly!
You beat me to it!!!....Dang you!.....lol
Killer box! That’s a lot of work that went into that!
A lovely piece of work. Beautiful woods. It was a pleasure to watch you work. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes. :)
That wood grain WAS insane! That box would be nice with some antique hinges latch.
Nice work.
These videos are comfy as hell
Insane in the end grain, insane in the grain!
many others already beat me to it lol
Amazing work. Enjoyed watching you work.
Have you made any boxes for your cats to sit in? Now there is a video I would watch over and over again. :3
Some stunning pieces of wood. You really did them justice. My bet is something that beautiful has got to be for the wife.
Nice piece Mr Chickadee! any new up grades on the homestead some cooking videos with your oven and a tour around the homestead would make a great video! Like your channel.

I have a couple of old window sashes and the munitions are pegged - with long thin pegs - now I know what they are!!!

what issues did you have with hand work?
I was just not able to I develop the skill. 2 yrs working with hand tools and I just did not progress. I can still build things that turn out great bc of what I’ve learned but I just have to use machines.
Your work is absolutely amazing! I really enjoy your videos!
I have to say i really love wooden boxes (I made some too) and this is really amazing! Good job man!
Have you ever tried reversing the blade on a coping saw and cutting on the pull stroke? I find it easier to control the cut.
wonder how much this would sell for..... beautiful piece of work.. just beautiful

Belo trabalho, grato.
Those plane irons are sharp! Can tell by the sound.
thank you! great ear!
Wow that is awesome I love that type of work is just amazing. God bless you always brother.
One word says it all (BEAUTIFUL)
