I'm sad to hear of Phil's passing. Such a vast array of knowledge and skill gone forever, but this series of videos is a wonderful resource and it's a great legacy to have left. I have learned several tips and tricks from you Phil, thanks for everything.
I have watched all 5 episodes in this series, one after the other, simply enthralled by witnessing a true master at work not only in meticulous execution, but in detailed explanation. Mr. Lowe: "Chapeau"!
Wow Phil I watched 5 in a row. Have never done woodworking before but learnt so much regarding grain and how to cut and use chisels. Thank you for the time and effort.
I love this guy! His videos are wonderful! Ive had a hard time finding a master that actually knows his shit... This guy is on point! And Ive learned a few new tricks
These are the types of guys you want to learn from. They will save you years of messing around with things that either don't work or are inefficient and not necessary. With squaring the first board, the first thing that I thought of was -all those planes and not one with an 90 degree fence to use? Anyway, great video.
How about instead of, "glueing" "different glue joints"? For whomever is maintaining this channel. I nearly passed it by due to being absolutely disinterested in glue. The vid however, is solid gold and packed with useful information!
Thanks Mr Lowe, you jogged my memory with your demonstration of bisecting angles with dividers.I was taught that method at college 30 odd years ago, but haven't practiced the technique much since. Geometry eh?
7:36 I'm not sure if that shows what you say it does. It broke at the end of the clamp, which is also the axis of rotation of the force you are putting on it. Even if you assume the board is equally strong throughout and doesn't have any weak spots, the glue joint could be equally strong (or even weaker?) than the wood and the board could still break at that point where it did.
My dad was cabinet maker and he always said a joint would break in the wood before the glue joint would break. I shared this wisdom from a very early age in my process of becoming a wood worker. I'd have buddies come to me and say "F" you I fixed this with glue and it broke at the glue joint. back then all my old buddies lived close so I could go see wtf they were going on about. lol. They would take a a piece of chipboard "Walmart furniture and try and glue it HAHHAHA. I would tell them then I meant my statement for wood. Not the byproduct of sawing wood lol. My bro inlaw was one of those characters. He has about $750,000 of hand made furniture in his home now and it cost him a Browning A5 shotgun lol....THINK I GOT RIPPED OFF lol. but i love that fucker more than the sis he married....mmm not sure if i should of said that HHAAHAHAHAHA
Just a suggestion on making a picture frame. Buy a empire combo square. They are very accurate and pretty much 1/4 of the price of a usual accurate square. If you are building a house being square don't matter much until you get into trim work. so a $25 square from a box store will do what is needed. But once you get into actually needing your cuts square you need to spend a bit of coin. My rough squares are within .025-35 per inch (cares less about them) my wood working squares are withinin .001 or per inch. Even if you make a 3 inch wide frame thats 0.003 of an inch., .0.00314961 is an average human hair...noboy sees that shit unless its a very certain angle of light hitting it. When you clam down your corners it reduces the gap and your framing staples will draw it in and hold it.
Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way. Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out. Look for signs that you are saved. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible, etc… These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!!!
He is dividing the 45° angle into two equal parts of 22.5° each. Not by measuring or with a protractor, but using geometry 101 ;) Works for any angle. He did the same around 34:00 minutes ... Cheers

Rest in peace sir. Your legacy will live on forever in you work and the knowledge you left others with.
Thank You so much Mr Phil Lowe !
Of ALL the woodworking videos on youtube, this series has been the best for me; kudos, many thanks!
Enjoyed watching this series. You can make a hundred more of these and I would probably watch them all! Thank you!
thanks for showing your traditional skills
Very nice and relaxing, good explanation, and no noise. Thanks for sharing

Excellent series I loved watching all of it.Thank you so much Phil.
great series
What an incredible series this has been. Thank you Phil for sharing your time and expertise.
Really love these videos!
Human vs Geometry
Human wins
Great work and thank you
Great series Phil. That last part about compound angles reminded me of the center post in the roof of the gazebo I built 30 years ago.
I love this guy! His videos are wonderful! Ive had a hard time finding a master that actually knows his shit... This guy is on point! And Ive learned a few new tricks
i can stay watching you for hours
Please make more videos! I would support you on patreon and I'm sure others would. These are the best wood videos on UA-cam. Please!!!
Excellent series! Incredible skill. Please make more videos. I would love to see more.

Pure knowledge..pure skills... pure fun to watch...thank you for sharing your wealth of experience and knowledge...
Thought that pencil was going to cause someone to lose and eye- Right in your dad-gum eye! Lol. Love your series!

Great lessons. Thanks for sharing.
Makes me wish I had a woodshop to work on something. Thanks.
Really nice video. I was however surprised to see that you didn't use a shooting board when planing the miter. Any particular reason for that?
great to see such craftsmanship !
Thanks Mr Lowe, you jogged my memory with your demonstration of bisecting angles with dividers.I was taught that method at college 30 odd years ago, but haven't practiced the technique much since. Geometry eh?
Thanks for uploading. Really enjoyed them
I just wish that the camera focused close enough on where greater detail need to be seen.
Hope to see more of these!
The aut of woodworking is one of my favorite auts.
Lots of wisdom right here... Thanks
Thank you very much. Great resource!
You are a good explainer.
Very good videos sir.
thank you for sharing
Great marking knife, did you make it and what is that opposite the business end? You are very inspiring.
An over head camera be useful here. Great video
26:53 That precious piece of wood looks like oak - is it?
35:38 Learned that all in geometry class roughly 100 years ago. ;-)
Why am I watching this at 1am in the middle of a pandemic?
Got somethin' better to do...?

God save us from engineers. Except when we need them. :)
Моё мнение две доски строгать вместе не самое правильное Если в одном ямочка то и во втором и при стыковке гель удваивается

There is no e in gluing. There is one in glued.
How do you adjust the length of the board and match them like frame after all those of shavings? How they fit perfectly?
Brilliant - though if I tried that my picture frame would end up 2" per side and trapezoid ...

Any excuse to use a planer with this guy
36-44 I was lost. I couldn't see what you were a scribing on the wood.
Woodglut has a very large project base.
Shooting board?

And 47 minutes. Why are you making arcs? I can't see.
