the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzfaq.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

I can absolutely confirm the transformational nature of this tool for my work after almost fifty years in the shop. As I was working my way through the text and engravings when making the Roubo book for LAP I found this to be one of the most innovative techniques for me to use every time I work a board with my hand planes. As for the book itself, I refer to it with surprising frequency to this day! -- Don Williams

2:43 I'm sure I mentioned this before, Rex, but I am in the UK. I have visited at least one old, old house with a Tudor oak staircase. I've experienced that finish. The finish you get from human hands is like almost nothing else. They smooth and treat oak like nothing else. The reason I am posting is that I am sure one of the guides mentioned that walnuts sometimes were rubbed against the oak.

I fell in love with the tools described in Roubo's l'Art Du Menuisier, especially the moulding planes planes, which you and Paul Sellers made a couple variants of before. The open sided French/Roman design is so much easier to create, despite being chunkier and a bit boxier (especially with the wedges) than the English patterns. It's a shame that this style of plane seems to have fallen on the wayside outside of the rabbet plane that looked to be reintroduced to everyone by Paul Sellers. The 19th century French fillister plane I have in this style is pretty nice (need to make a new nicker though) and looks to be pretty easy to reproduce with hardware one can either buy at a hardware store, like threaded inserts for the fence and depth stop, or make on their own with the blade and nicker. Definitely gonna be making these winding sticks next. They look sweet.
