I just brought up this video & you caught my eye immediately. You bring back memories of when my father used these old hand tools. I was so intrigued by them & my father’s talent for their uses, he promised me he would leave them to me. That was 62 years ago. When my mother passed all his tools were missing. I have only a few tools but not the gouge chisels. I love your work & the memories you brought me. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

Welcome back Buddy Bud. I've missed you a lot. Still amazed at how you can see inside an old dead log. A lot of woodworkers work very hard at sanding away their tool marks but even your tool marks are beautiful. I hope you have some more content coming up.

Seeing that everything is done by hand was a great learning experience, and I thought it was wonderful even from a Japanese perspective.

Excellent work! I am a 65 year old woman. And I have done some things with hand saws. Learning from my dad. Also save certain wood pieces for projects later. And I can't tell you how many at the moment. But I'm getting better organized at setting things aside. I love what you do. I'll be watching. I can't watch the whole video tonight. But I'm loving and enjoying all of it.

Beautiful piece of art. It is so soothing to see a craftsman and artist at work. The use of only hand tools makes it even more enjoyable. Thanks.

Brilliant! Do not apologize for the carving, final result was outstanding. 👋👋👋

2.5h I just want to say - Noah called and he wants his arch back - that is how epic this bowl is 😊😊😊😊

Who needs electricity, Amazing natural talent from a real carpenter 10 out of 10

It would be a dream come true to work side by side with you for 1 month and just learn! Beautiful work!

There are not enough adjectives to say just how phenomenal this is. I have followed you for a long time. Like fine wine you get better and better with age Chris. Well done.

The bit right in the middle when the clamp fell off and the bleeps left me giggling at 4 am. Thank you

Thanks for that brother. In a world full of crap, your labour, respect for tools and timber and your art are things of beauty.

So relaxing when you get to the carving to the finish. Thanks for the inspiration 👍🏼

Hell yeah, a co-op with Mr. Chickadee, you should do this more often given that it's always a pleasure watching 2 artists at work!

Your work is stunning! I’m a needleworker and teacher and can appreciate your talents.

The BIGGEST RESPECT to you and to your craft!!!

Missed your videos! Your persistence in loyalty to hand tools is unmatchable! Glad to see you back@

Mate, you may not have the best carving technique but the effort you went to with that 3 dimensional decoration was inspiring, and the result was awesome! Wonderful stuff ,please keep up the good work.

Great craftsmanship, sir. Rare to find anyone who has this level of manual woodcraft skills.

I was once a carpenter and enjoyd watching, you are far better than i was

that is absolutely beautiful. it should be displayed every day of the year with all kinds of decor for each season

Started your video to pass time before going to the movies,then skipped going. Me and the wife just couldn’t stop watching. Amazing skills!! Thanks for sharing. New subscriber here.

Bạn là người siêng năng và quyết tâm … bạn làm ra thành phẩm rất đẹp . Thank bạn đã chia sẻ video hay nhé. Chúc bạn vui khỏe 👍

Nothing wrong with your carving skills, you made a beautiful, natural looking wood piece out of that old tree. I'm impressed.

Omg, I have so many comments on this one! It's gorgeous, beautiful and amazing 😍😍😍 Love watching you use the spokeshave - it's just so satisfying! I just started carving and therefore I started to watch woodworking and carving videos - the only thing I can think of (as a beginner with carving as my focus) is that carvers almost never use straight chisels, cause if you want a flat surface they will leave marks on the edges - you don't have that problem (probably because you are used to working with straight chisels)... So I wouldn't be embarrassed about your carvings, cause it's working - and this one in particular is simply wonderful!

Can’t believe I actually watched this start to finish, lol. Amazing piece. Almost looks Viking themed.

Wow.. its like watching a beaver at work 😄. Love seeing all the old tools in use too!

I feel like we just climbed Mt.Everest! That really 'bowled' be over!... and so much free mulch. 😊 Priceless piece of art and so many cool tools of the trade. Truly part of a life well lived. Thank you.

Great display of a variety of hand tools and how to use them. In my country a trough like this would be used for storing flour, proofing dough and carrying the baby around. I really enjoyed it, thanks!

First time watcher, very nice effort 👍👍. Made me flash back tol a better time and my family's history. In the late 40s' after the war, my Grandfather, my Father(before I was born) and his 3 brothers, purchased 40-45 acre wood lot with a spring and a small sand pit near Galway Lake in upstate NY, then went about building the family camp which eventually became Gram and Gramps year around home. And, with the help of a few neighbors and friends dragged a '50 Buick frame and engine up to the sand pit converting it into a saw, using the lumber from trees on the lot for the house and garage/ workshop(the look of your shop and tools reminded me of Gramps workshop). None were artists like you, but did everything by hand, even a lot of the tool making.(No "Home Cheapo's" back then😀) The "camp" still stands today so I guess they did okay, and I'm guessing it will stand through a quite a few more Northeast winters since all the rough cut lumber is well oversized. They never put in central heat, and my Grandmother always cooked on a wood stove(and usually had holiday meals for 10-15). She was a 5', 95lb Canuck born in the blizzard of 1888 telling us grandkids stories of making bathtub gin and selling pints for a nickel at lumber camp dances. She lived until 98 years old, healthy until the onset of Alzheimer's the last couple years of her life. Keep up the great work and God Bless.

My husband and I just finished watching your video. He's a woodturner who does excellent work. We both enjoyed your quality and excellence of workmanship. We were impressed and look forward to the next one you do. The bowl is just beautiful.

It looks like the beginning of an Egyptian boat. Beautiful walnut wood, grains very small.

Amazing looking bowl,and what a brilliant job without electric noisy tools.You Sir are very skilled in bringing out the beauty inside the wood.What a talent 🥰

Just happy too see you are back... i am just stunned over your work 🤩🤩🤩

brilliant work, wonderful to see the old ways of working still being honoured. The bowl is spectacular.

I really enjoyed watching you using the traditional tools to produce this beautiful bowl.

Absolutely Astonishing! Pure Artisan Hand Craftsmanship! I have truly enjoyed watching Chris. So much better than watching Paint Dry. I’ve been down for 3 weeks with Covid-19. This is Great Medicine! Thanks

That is a wonderful little boat ,and the wood is just lovely .

I just found your channel! You are very ambitious! A true craftsman!

That masterpiece is fit enough for Moses to travel down the Nile! Bravo sir! BRAVO!!!

Extraordinario, como siempre. Me encanta verte trabajar la madera. Eres un fenómeno. Un saludo, desde España

Bravo! Looks Beautiful! I have found an ever deeper appreciation for your craft! :)

Fantastyczna praca, jestem pod wrażeniem cierpliwości i determinacji. Pozdrawiam.

I remember watching your videos many years ago, Glad you're still doing them. Thanks for the video

Great job Chris, wonderful and relaxing video. I really enjoyed throughout! Thanks for shearing the whole process!

Dear Chris, this is inspirational work. I’d need to add to my collection of tools to do carving, but what a soothing graceful craft. Thank you for sharing.

Love watching you work with the hand tools. It is a lot of work but very satisfying. I also do some of my work with my father's hand tools . Look forward to see more of your projects.

Hey Chris, so glad to see you back handling those woodworking tools :) this was truly a trip down memory lane, great result on that bowl well done. I’m looking forward to your future projects. Keep up the good work my friend :)

Ditto to all the comments below about your skill, your use of tools, etc. Equally as interesting to me is your vise adaptations you've made for outdoor and indoor purposes. I love a well designed tool that has a specific purpose and to see the way you change your table/bench/blocks to adapt to the need at hand is fantastic.

"I've broadened my horizons. Your video was incredibly insightful! You're absolutely fantastic!" 🌟

Outstanding job..!!!!! God bless your hands 🙌🏼

Hi Chris, I just found your channel. I only got a minutes in before I hit that subscribe button. This was such an inspiring and absorbing watch. Such a pleasure to watch a true artizan at work. The final piece is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that is a beautiful carving.

Büyük sabır, öngörü ve yetenek ile ortaya bir sanat eseri çıkmış. Paylaştığın için teşekkürler.

What a man can do with an old moss covered rotting log . Beautiful ! When it is a masterpiece to behold , then you ......... apply the brand . Mankind can never be perfect . Our egos will never allow it .

Welcome back Chris. The bowl is really nice. I love it. Greetings from Germany 😁

Had no idea such craftsmanship was still going on Enjoyed watching and wish the bowl was mine

Hello there my friend, I've been anticipating a new video by you and let me say,I'm so glad it's here. I didn't think the bleeps would come until near the end but, oh well. This is fantastic, and your carving is awesome, I understand it takes a while to do these types of videos so please try not to take so long on the next one, 😆

If I find a tiny Viking looking for a boat, I will send him in your direction!

This is the first I've seen your channel, and I am gobsmacked! Simply amazing!

CHRIS, I AM SO ENJOYING THIS VID.!! THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS THAT THERE IS NO OBNOXIOUS MUSIC TO ANOY AND DISTRACT ME !!!😀 KEEP GOING , MUCH LOVE , PATRICIA❣🇺🇸 p.s. the bowl came out like a museum piece!!!! P.s., p.s. Your shop is so immaculate!!!🙏🇺🇸

Sorry I have been away for so long! I hope you enjoy. Chris

The size surprised me. At first I thought it was drift wood. Nope! My, a log!

I love how you slowly show the tools and their names

¡Todas las herramientas y el material más completo es un verdadero tesoro!

I'm a new subscriber I've watched a few of your uploads in the past ... This one set the hook very meticulous and I like how you included the book referencing. I took that as we all are still learning and knowledge is key anyway awesome job I have to say you remind me of my greatest mentor Roy Underhill . And that's about the rarest complement I give. Keep up the good work sir and looking forward to seeing your next upload!
