Talk about sour grapes. Wake up ! He builds beautiful furniture using hand tools to refine them. If you all are so good present your video! I think the video is a good idea and it shows a young master on his way up. It is the job of FWW to feature fine woodworking. I think the video shows the steps in 60 seconds and you are hereby challenged to do the same and show the young man up.
I can't produce as diverse a pallet as he does and I admire a young man who can produce such lovely pieces as are on his website. Yeah he does much better in 120seconds.

An old mason told me the way to buy a hammer was to take 2 and tap together. If there is a ring one has a flaw and will eventually chip and break. Keep testing this way until neither rings and you will have a good hammer in either hand. The hammers I bought using this method are still intact and have not chipped. So I agree it not a good idea to deliberately try to break a hammer, but it comes with the territory. People need to realize that if you hit metal on metal enough times something is going to break off. If you are lucky it won't cause injury, but to be forever injury free means you are wrapped in bubble wrap and do nothing but drink liquids from a rubber straw. Otherwise you have to live life and take your chances and take responsibility for your mistakes. Lawyers are for the justice system not for paying off for stupidity.
