    I've been woodworking for over 40 years and don't even feel like I can call myself a woodworker after watching just a few of your videos. I'm so impressed with your jig making and creative thinking.

    This guy was born for woodworking!! Its impossible to work with this level of detail, not even the best furniture brands has this level of perfection! Incredible design and details! Everything is perfect. This is the perfect tribute!

    The number of clever jigs you used for each operation is astounding! They take all the time and guesswork away from aligning each piece and end up with a better result!

      I was thinking the same thing. I took so many screen shots for future reference in the shop. And kept thinking, "How does he come up with all of these jigs?!?" Amazing problem solving and creativity. Hats off.

    There is no way of mistaking your work for any other's. There is a comforting predictability in types of wood used in your builds. The mix of simplicity of the object combined with the incredible attention to detail in the joinery and brass highlights is beyond captivating making each piece unique and a true treasure. I am building a box for my grandson that was inspired by one you had shown, but have to admit I feel I've stolen something. Hats off sir

  • @jesmondborg131

    That has got to be the most beautiful bookcases I have ever seen. Absolutely amazing workmanship. My mind is blown! 🤯

  • @BariumCobaltNitrog3n
    @BariumCobaltNitrog3n Рік тому

    Perfect. If there is a word that has no meaning, this is it. Also phenomenal can be found here, to describe things that people won't put any effort into. Ironic the work here looks so effortless, but not really. The work is done in the mind, not by the hands. It's just a matter of poling holes and cutting the bits off that don't look like a bookcase. The walnut deserves all the credit, and Mother Nature.

  • @tareraww
    @tareraww Рік тому +3

    The level of detail in these builds is insane. I wish I could do that in my own line of work.

  • @arthur2319
    @arthur2319 Рік тому +4

    Watching this a second time, I think my favorite part was seeing the bolts pre-placed in the bottom rung when gluing in the base at 18:53 - a critical step I can see myself completely forgetting!! 😅. Well done and beautiful results.

  • @gordonstiltner9775
    @gordonstiltner9775 2 роки тому +1

    Obviously you are a master craftsman but you are also master in many aspects. The design of your projects is amazing. Your use of jigs to ensure precision. Your freehand work is also very precise. Your videos are very well edited showing enough of the process to represent the entire build without showing repetitive tasks like sawing many of the same pieces. In the modest length of your videos you teach your viewers a lot about how to process wood. Your explanation at the end regarding why you did certain things is valuable information. And then there’s the choice of music, it is great. I love hearing the music you choose. In every aspect you are a master. Your videos entertain, teach and inspire. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

    Who on God's earth would have ever thought that a lowly shelf could be elevated to such a regal level? Wherein lies it's beauty? Is it the way you brought out the beautiful grain of that walnut? Is it the unexpected design of all the angles and all the pieces that don't connect that we think should? Is it the space between the shelves and the uprights and the space down the center of each shelf? Is it the airtight joinery with it's precise angles? I don't know. All I can do is ask myself what kind of a man can do this to lowly bookshelf. This is not a display of a piece of furniture, it is a display of the artist that created it. You are truly the Emperor of jigs and fixtures bringing a precision to woodworking normally reserved to a high end machine shop. But there is a layer of resourcefulness and creativity rarely found anywhere. What else can I say?

    @toddsalmon6541 2 роки тому +2

    Such a gorgeous piece. As a very amateur woodworker who had made some mediocre pieces of furniture, some cabinetry, etc, my thought has for a long time been, "I want to make something beautiful." I still haven't accomplished that yet, in my opinion, but you excel at it, Sir. Your work is something to aspire to.

    Every time a new video of yours comes out I find myself watching it and watching it over and over again. At a first glance many things are unclear and many details escape. Then, with each subsequent vision, the details emerge and the processes become clearer, sometimes they are illuminating like epiphanies. There is so much mastery in your work and so much to learn from your videos. You are very inspiring, thank you for your sharing

    Such a piece of art, not only the bookcase itself but the whole pack (work, craftsmanship, video, music, everything...). I'd name this piece as GAP due to the lovely intentional gaps between the elements and due to the tribute it represents to Orfeo Calacoci, it's a gap between this life and the place of peace where we'll remeet the loved ones.
