WOW! Amazing craftsmanship, let alone the added fun of the puzzles. Wonderful!

Beautiful wood and great evidence of working with the wood to create a great rocker.

Nice work. Let's face it, however. This is an advertisement for his business. Pure and simple.

Technology is great, but it will be at the expense of new people entering the craft. Hobbyist and younger, less well-heeled woodworkers won't be able to afford a sawstop saw. Lastly, a newbie to woodworking scrapes enough together to buy a saw and cuts into a wet piece of wood, ruins a blade and cartridge, they may not be able to afford replacements...safety first in practice vs. Technology is always better.

I think you'll need to sand until you sand away the third coat, smooth out earlier coats, and re-apply third coat. I had same problem and it took forever, I.e weeks, before third coat dried.

I concur with the previous comment! Worked my way through college, started out at an annual salary of $5,200 per year, and worked my way up from there. We'll make it as a country IF we continue to learn to work with our hands. Thanks for the video...inspiring!

Hmmmm...I like it...however, stacking in a corner is much quicker...look forward to part 2!

I second that emotion!!! Dry or wet flies, Leslie?

I like the contrast between the wood and steel...thanks for sharing!

Small cabinets hold and hide great things...hand made pens, bowls and boxes. Make one and then decide how to fill it!

WOW! It's so nice to finally get your dream shop, huh? Love the praire style as the windows stay out of the way of flying wood, and give you better wall space utilization...love it! Look forward to final pics!

I like both of them! The new design is cleaner and fresher. However, the original design had the original builder's own stamp on it. Cleaner or original? How about both? :)

I'm amazed at two things: one is that more fingers, limbs or other body parts aren't damaged on our bodies as we become a bit too comfortable with our tools; I'm more amazed at the size of our colleague's workshops! 140 square feet? In that size shop, you couldn't run away from an accident if you had to. I'm fortunate to have about 550 square feet in my shop, and I feel cramped! Of course, if I'd quit buying equipment and wood, I'd have plenty of room, but that's for another post...glad you're alright!

I agree with Wixom...we stopped smoking on airliners years ago for just such a problem...On the other hand, a barbecued burger at 40.000 feet? Can't beat it! The bed? Silk scarves leave less marks...

WOW! Gorgeous! Nice choice of woods and design.

I love live edges on furniture! Great job and beautiful work!

Love it! We woodworkers love to create finished and wonderful utiliterian cabinets, don't we?
