My personal favorite. Not much for me to pick up as far as technique or design, but sometimes I need to be reminded of the big picture.

This has always been one that moves me.

The Curtis Buchanan series of videos on Windsor chair making is in my opinion outstanding. I have never made a Windsor chair. I may never make a Windsor chair. Still I have learned a ton of useful tips, work methods, etc., just from watching the videos.

That is great! One generation before baby boomers... and the world worked (also) then!
I hope you enjoy!
Enjoyed that one. Quite a few young apprentices working there too.

Deep thought for the day:

The Rockler single sheet of ply challenge started a while back and there are some really thoughtful entries, it the brainchild of the Modern Maker pod cast which did a 2x4 challenge a while back . Tables, chairs, shelves, bowls, entertainment centers and all manner of ther things. Those against the recent movement to exposed plys might be offended by a lot of the videos but I am enjoying many of them.

I really enjoyed the first time I saw the Making a Jarvi Bench:
I've seen some posts on another forum critical of the video, but I liked it -- from the morning coffee to using the sawmill as the key tool and his jigs. (I will admit to wincing at the usual internet forum triggers--dust, blade guards, and running bark through the jointer.)

So freakin' awesome it made Ng cry. Jigs for sharpening jointer/planer knives, including disposable ones.

William Ng is great. Fun.
My favorite line from years ago when he was teaching and showing off as he does- "What can I say? It to be you."

A really cool door. He has other videos about the making of it.
