    I'm a 63 year old trim carpenter and didn't think anybody put out this nice of work anymore. You have my respect for how nice you did that, especially with the gluing and screwing everything AND using the biscuits on the header. Absolute kudos to you young man, you have my complete respect.

Your tour of the Swiss school was the best, i had no idea but somehow not surprised. Watch making translated to building makes the German approach slack. I then enjoyed your lead carpenter trim out a window on the Newton project. At what point does Tom Casey become a master? Ha ha, like Norm you know who!."

    6:40 when you’re putting window boxes together instead of bending over on the floor I took two blank interior hollow doors and added hinges and flip it open on 4 saw horses and have a flat surface to build boxes if slight unlevel I use a shim on corners to level and makes it so much easier to build boxes two hallow 32” doors make almost a square and it’s on saw horses so at waist level.
