    Hi Chris....a couple of observations: This is a remarkable (all your projects are) piece of work done with precision, thoughtful design, and utilitarian integrity; I'm happy you weren't whipsawed off the main trunk when you cut those sizable parts; the energy coupled with what seems to be your personal joy and satisfaction in your labor is something to be both admired and emulated. This is none of my business but what is the genesis of your personal drive and inspiration...I graduated from a Jesuit University and all I got was a very rewarding career....so I'm ruling out any epiphanies from Notre Dame! Best wishes my friend.

      I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and my day job is a project manager. Woodworking is just a hobby for me. About 12 years ago my mom showed me a video about Dick Proenneke (look him up) and decided to try to make a bowl. It took 16 hours to make the ugliest bowl you've ever seen using hand tools but all I could think about that night was the next bowl I was going to make and then it just took off from there. I had never more than whittled a stick before that moment and then everything changed.

The highly respectable craftsmanship shown here is so fascinating. For many of the younger viewers this must be a shock to see how it was done before the industrialization. I was so happy to see that there are courses available in colleges the very same process, intro into the era of the science of self sufficiency in in wood project in the country. I admire your tenacity, your wonderful work. I hope millions of people wood have the interest to do was you do and to broaden their horizons and teach their family and friends and so on.

    Eye opening for me, who is somewhat at the beginning of furniture making. I've made rolling closets, bunk beds, king size beds with broad timbers, 100ft work benches, tables and so on, but never something like this. I think I romanticized the idea a little with my growing passion for hand tools. Watching you go through this (with a gorgeous canvas of wood) was an education. I learned what a scrub plane is, and questioned why you wouldn't use all Japanese saws when they cut so well and quicker (in my experience) than Western saws. If love to know why it you will. Also, do you have any larger katabas (300mm +) and have you changed your opinion on which saws work best for this kind of furniture making since making the vid? Gorgeous work Chris, that's heirloom stuff right there.

    This is just my 2nd or 3rd video of yours. I'm afraid to say that I have your same "attack" style with wood. I didn't realize it until I see your videos. Compared to other online wood workers, we move like competitive wrestlers. (I'm only half your size, and probably twice your age. I have yet to get all the successful products and results as you, but I sure do relate to your pace and focus.) Stay safe and healthy! I feel like I would have been competitive in your "league" and style of tree-wrestling! :-D
    I've never seen some of the tools you use - Slick Chisel - Wow! That's a big boy. I saw you use a hand adze, and then a bigger adze with longer handle, roughing out the bench legs, I think.
    You seem to switch between half a dozen or more saw blades too. Please educate us on the varieties of wood you use, and reasons for your choices. Looks like you're in Mid America, maybe between Chicago and Michigan? Lots of trees, woods, varieties. Thanks again. 1-2-2022
