Wow. That’s a lot of patience chiseling by hand. And not to mention all the time that took.

I have my grandfather's wooden clamps. He was a wood carver who left school at 13 to apprentice in the trade. He did fine woodwork on the cathedrals along the north east coast back in the 1920 and onward. I took technical illustration in high school back in the early 80s because my mother had taken it. Thanks for bringing the two together!

nice tricks, but would be nice to have the .skp file to try these operations myself!

Love following your posts! You are an exceptional craftsman

I love your work .Can you help? its seams no one talks about where to get copper tacks and size?

how have the hoops held up? im interesting in making my own wooden ones as well and just interested if the hold up well.

Hoping this plan will be available in your store?

Beautiful piece 👌It's a shame when we, as woodworkers don't have enough space to put the next project ☹

This is such a beautiful piece! You have a real knack for finishing! Great work!

Looks beautiful!

Have you tried different kinds of shellac? I have a bag of button lac that seems to be working well.

I love your content! I just subscribed!

Amazing work!

Love the video. are you still doing this work

When scaling components, you have to take length, width, and height into account. did you measure all 3 dimensions? In Solidworks there is an easy way to do this. I'm interested if there are different methods to do this in, I'm guessing, Sketchup.

It seems it would have been safer to cut with a knife the top side of the cut than have a 45 degree block to guide chisel in that cut to get perfect 45. That is how I do beaded face frame and it works really well.

Thanks for You new video,I'm carpentry student from Wolverhamptom👍👍👍

Good to see your work again Tim.

Thank you for sharing your stages of work and a glimpse of your working technique. keep it coming, if you can !

I wonder if you watch Geof beof.

I learned something. Thanks

This is awesome! I was trying to figure out how to do this at home for my garden. I love the history of hurdles and think they're beautiful and handy.

Thanks for showing your method. I am thinking about a Danish cord weave.

If I want to use this method with pumice on some projects and rottenstone on others, can I use the same brush and just wash it out, or will some abrasive always be in the brush and I should dedicate two separate brushes? Similarly, once a brush is used for this, can it be washed and used for finish? As a separate matter: I'd like to try this method with rottenstone to reduce the gloss on some carved rosettes. The shellac is just brushed on the rosettes, but is too shiny for my taste. Do you think this brushing method will work? It seems ideal since the bristles can poke into the carving. Thank you!

Very informative! Greetings from germany

When I pad after flattening, I still make irregularities. They aren't as big as those left when brushing, but I still get them. Is this to be expected? So, should I expect that flattening is required after padding, or should I be able to pad without leaving irregularities? Also, is your padding shellac as thick as your brushing shellac, or do you thin a bit compared to when you brush? Your videos are helping me immensely. I am getting better results than I've ever achieved before. I am making a reproduction 18th century tallcase clock. The finishing is more challenging than I've had to face with shellac before. So, many thanks for passing on the craft!

I am confused about how much of the grain filling happens during the brushing and leveling vs. during the french polish. Also, even though I see that padding is literally just a pad and polishing is a pad inside a cover, I don't really understand the difference between the padding process and the polishing process. Could you say a few words, please? Thank you for the excellent videos.

Just beautiful

What are you feeling or seeing that tells you that you need another dunk in the oil? Here, you rub circles. When you use a brush in other videos, you seem to go with the grain. Do circles vs. straight strokes with the grain affect the appearance? Does the final rub out look like swirls? Can you rub out like this to knock down the gloss when the grain hasn't been filled, say in walnut, or will that leave glossy speckles and not look right? Thank you for your videos!

You said that when you have an open grain wood like mahogany, you apply shellac and sand repeatedly over several days. When you do that, do you leave the sanding dust on and apply shellac right over it? Does that help fill the grain faster? Or, is that a bad idea in your experience? I've seen people both for and against it and wondered what your experience is. Would you do this with walnut, for example?

Another detailed wood carving would be nice! Greeting from germany

очень медленно

Beautiful work!!! Do you offer any instruction on how to build these windows beyond what is posted on KZfaq? thanks

Where did you get your ketchup plans? or did you make them yourself?

Use inventor or solidworks. They are more exact

How long did you boil the wood and how thick was the wood? Beautiful piece!

Thank you for an interesting insight

This is very interesting. Do you know where I can buy a lock mechanism like this for an existing tambour door cabinet?

Hi my name is Tom and I'm 79 years old and just getting into string inlay. I'm green is a cucumber. And several of your videos. I see that you use 1/16 and 1/8 wood chisels. Where might I find something like that? To watch a craftsman as yourself create art in wood is just truly amazing to me! Thank you so very very much for sharing all your knowledge with all of us! Tom

Looking good Tim

You would get a lot more views and subscribers if you show not tell. Viewers want to see the detailed build process, not a discussion of what you've done and what you're going to do.

I’m so glad that your work is on you tube. There are so many channels with TONS of talent but have exchanged genuine woodworking with festool dream shops and workbench camera sets. I really enjoy simply watching a craftsman perform craft. But most enjoyable to me might sometimes be the complete array (I should say DISarray) of tools hiding amongst the shavings and clutter on your bench etc. That’s a real shop.

It's good to see you're still at it.

Not sure if you care or not but you can easily change the number of segments SU uses to render circles. Might help in template making. Thanks for your work.

What grit sandpaper?

Amazing!

before making your desired piece of furniture, with the expensive woods, do you make the piece from pine to figure it out ?

consider making a pine frame to hold those pieces for carving, just in case an error requires that a piece must be replaced.

Thanks for sharing. Looks awesome. When you say liquid hide glue, do you mean Old Brown Glue or the Tite Bond Liquid Hide Glue? Do the two behave differently? When I need more open time, I've used the Tite Bond version and don't have experience (yet) with Old Brown Glue.

WOW!
