Great skill. love the video. Being a cnc person I would have a different approach but I have a lot of respect for the manual process and people that can pull it off. The train sound is marvelous as well :-). Looking forward to the next video!
It depends on which shavings. Oak gets used to start winter fires for me and my neighbors. Pine and Maple end up in the compost or the goat house which eventually goes to the compost pile. None of it goes to the landfill.
I'm of two minds on the subject. I love the precision and repeatability of CNC, but watching Curtis "listen" to the wood makes me understand that no machine could do what he does. I am with you 100% on the train sound, though! Watching him work, you almost expect to hear a steam engine :)
Hi there, I was wondering if you could share a link or a good website for the Swedish holding system you used when you hogged out the seat with Adze? That looks like a back/neck saver!
Curtis, thank you for sharing this knowledge here. I'm just now coming across these videos, and I really appreciate the generosity behind them. I'm curious about the adze you use. About how wide is it? It seems like you mentioned it was a Hans Karlsson. Is it the 2 1/4" or the 3 1/2"?
Curtis great job on the videos I watched them all back to back can hardly wait for the next one
Thanks for the lesson. I just got my Barr scorp, a beautiful tool. Working on some Nakashima Conoid style chairs.
I do love the sound of that sharp scorp against the pine. Great video and tons of valuable lessons in there, thanks for sharing this.

You are a talented craftsman.
love the train!
love the sound of the train in the back while watching a craftsman working on a beautiful piece of wood......a little bit of Americana
Love the video, And the train

something about watching a skilled person work.
This video makes using a scorp look so fun and satisfying. I'm gonna have to pick up one of those!
beautiful work, as you can work with the train that passes and passes, you must be used to it ... Greetings from Chile

it is made by Hans Karlsson and it is the small one that is 2 1/4"
I notice the two bags on the porch. What do you do with all of your shavings?

That seat was a nail biter, but that scorp sure does make a satisfying sound when it cuts.
perhaps some checkering on the handle of your adze would improve your grip and control.
All that lovely tinder!

All this unnecessary BS.....soon be no trees left....
