Our serious woodworking daughter gave us a good laugh tonight. She had been watching her favorite furniture making youtubers, Doucette and Wolfe Furniture Makers, and she watches them on a 32 inch monitor.
She told us watching them using hand planes, hand cutting dovetails, hand carving and any other hand tool they have is like watching a classical concert in furniture making.
They are damn good and fun to watch. I did see a radial arm saw and a drill press in one video but if you blinked you may have missed them. I think we are safe calling these guys hand tool wood workers. There taste in music is okay too.
I've seen some of their videos and they do excellent work maybe even better then the original masters of the Victorian age woodworkers ?
I think the old timers might have had better wood. Although The wood in their videos looks to be highest quality .
I hope they can keep going.
Amazing work and skills, and many of the workers look so young. I've always wanted to build a block front chest similar to that. I have completed the carcass, but I can't seem to get past those drawer faces.
That's an awesome jointer for sure. Unless they carried it into their shop in individual pieces, the logistics of how they got it in there would be an interesting video.
Their jointer is one of the reasons they can manage the large and wide boards they use to be able to handcraft their furniture.
They're two of the best traditional build furniture makers out there for certain.
Here's a video that I think might appeal to the forum topic of hand planes, hand woodworking, and classical music (and other tasteful music; not so much dovetails)
BONUS: It's hand planes made by hand to a selection of music
Double BONUS: It's Terry from HNT Gordon doing the work on their product (I didn't know they were made entirely by hand)

Thanks for sharing the video. He makes some awesome looking planes.
