Nice. He has obviously made a few of those. Hurts to see him use cutting tools as scrapers but hey if it gets the job done.

I’m wowed by it all, but the thickness sander near the end is something I may try to replicate. I’d add dust collection to it though.
He’s brilliant. He should wear a mask or respirator.

Well, efficiency is intelligent laziness! Not bad, but he really needs a dust collector. For the table with the cabriole legs, I would have sanded it before I put it together.

Sure looks efficient with video sped up. Be interesting to know how many months it took to make some of those clever jigs. And how much is original.

Here’s a fascinating video of manufacturing wood airplane props using a similar setup.

Excellent set of videos. Amazing craftsmanship. There are lessons in there for woodturners too.

I agree, the jigs and contraptions are not something you can slap together in a lazy man fashion. But once you have them functional, they are all really versatile!
