This guy's videos just go to show all the guys who talk more than doing anything that you do not have to jabber all the way through a video to make a great tutorial. I learn as much if not more on this channel than by all the yakking on many others. I can infer why certain steps are done, or I can trust that they obviously work and just try to replicate it. My grandfather never chattered about his work, he just patiently went about his task, much like this craftsman. When watching these videos I get the feeling like I'm privileged enough to get to peek back in time to a simpler and often more productive day when the average guy was responsible for crafting his own tools for the job he had at hand. He didn't just run down to the hardware store and throw his money at a problem. On top of that, he took the time to not only make a functional tool, but to put some pride and beauty into it. I am so glad I found this channel. I get to learn something, and get a superbly relaxing experience doing it.
