I never got to take a class, or to meet David. I was in Hartland in late September and i found his workshop, thanks to the local postie. My wife and I spent a quiet moment remembering a man we had never met, but who had given so much to a craft we both appreciate. Thank-you David.

I mean this in the most complimentary way, but you have the best voice to go to sleep to.

Never will be another David . I’ve enjoyed and respected his work so much. Thank you

I’m currently watching all your videos in between patients at work. Thanks David. RIP sir

Great to see you in action David! Very good lesson and thoroughly taught.

Please please post more Mr Charlesworth Love your work praying you post more regularly!

THIS is the edge planing tutorial I've been needing for a long time!

A pleasure to see fine wood working " How to" technical info shared. I appreciate it. Thank you.

Just revisited this gem. RIP David Charlesworth.

I’ve been To David Charlssworths tool turning course about two years ago and I can tell you all first hand that he is a master of his craft and on the last day of the course he taught me this technique he’s a wonderful guy and a fantastic teacher 😊 more videos please David Cheers Phil

Bob Ross with a plane. Your sound is fantastic.

I just got my first bench plane and block plane and this is exactly the sort of info I was missing. Love your channel, Mr. Charlesworth! Cheers!

Pretty simple but genius way to make it straight. Bravo

I heard some one comment a while back about how boards always have a hump in the middle. Then thought, well of course, the outfeed table on a power jointer is set slightly higher than the infeed table. No way to do that with a hand plane....

Brilliant!!! I consider myself Really lucky to have come across your chanel. Thanks, keep more coming. And, stay healthy and blessed!

This was really awesomely educational and entertaining

Always love your work David. Awsome!.

Thanks for sharing this awesome masterclasses..!

Love the detail you put in the work you ! And the way you explain it! Well done, and thank you.

This is an amazing video by David and I would highly recommend it. It's mainly for planing smaller pieces. The techniques for longer and wider boards change a bit.

So nice to see you on KZfaq David I must say having watch you on a number of videos. I always learn so much. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge

Absolutely fascinating. Will definitely give this a go. Thanks so much for sharing.

This is incredible precision with a hand tool! Thank you for teaching me this very amazing technique! If I had not watched this video I would have stayed horribly ignorant. ^5 Cheers.

Eye opening. A true master ~

It's great to see you looking well David, and to see you back here. I'm wondering, as workbenches seem to be the flavour of the decade, whether you might be inclined to make a short video on the merits of yours. They're very interesting. I appreciate that yours are broadly speaking a design from an old rural craft institute/council (I can't recall exactly what) but they have a number of noteworthy features. There's a great deal of clamour about Roubo and to a certain degree old English benches but they're in danger of becoming somewhat over-hyped. A fresh perspective is always useful (not forgetting that Alan Peters claimed to have never made a bench!). In any event, best wishes and here's to many more years of shavings.

David, you really need to adopt me. I'm only 63 and would love to apprentice with you (and I cook). On a more serious note, you actually inspired me to unplug my woodworking and I'm having a blast. I'm currently saving to purchase all your videos, so I suppose that's the next best thing. Please don't be gone quite so long. Your calm and thorough manner are greatly appreciated.

Just a tip: I have found that when an edge is acceptably flat, my 24" Rabone steel rule (it's a relatively new, undamaged Sheffield made one, not an old beat up one or cheap knock off) will plop down and balance on edge with hardly any effort. If the surface is not flat it will quickly topple because it is in an unstable position.

I mirror Rob’s comment below! I enjoy your teaching method......between yourself and Rob I’ve learned considerably.....ta

Quite heavy breathing from David in this video.

Hola, espero se encuentre bien. Que bueno estaría que pudiera introducir los subtítulos en español, eh logrado comprender algo pero se me dificulta mucho. Saludos desde 🇺🇾

Good ms. David

Thank you for such an informative video. May I ask what causes the hump to return if you keep taking through shavings?

This is an off-topic question but i can see that you have both western and Japanese style saws on your wall, which type would you recommend, I have tried both but i not sure which I like the most.

Im surprised , I used the straight edge with a back light and get perfect results.

Why does one aim for a slight hollow?

Think about placing your mic somewhere else, it’s quite uncomfortable listening to your heavy breathing!

Lots to consider
