I see Festools in the background. Love the display of hand tools and the pup running around the shop. Nice looking shop! Thanks for posting.
This plan sure delivered all that was stated on the sales page and I can even say more than said [Google search>>> https://www.facebook.com/Tedswoodworking-262698340809686/app/208195102528120 ]. Using the plans to build has helped me build more at a lesser time. you don’t have to be a professional to build with these plans. They are easy to implement.

cool…I prefer the old school hand tools than the modern power tools..
everything is soo rushed, this is not fine furniture making, the fit of that hinge at the top was awful i mean it could be the camera but i doubt it, stick to the power tools i think, but nice shop
I bet that anyone who ever tried building his or her project utilizing do it yourself instructions, at least one time, went through the irritating time when the result always was much worse than expected.
Enjoy woodprix woodworking instructions.
pointless
Maybe he’s just uncomfortable on camera…
Damn it.. I am jealous!!! I would never get to that level, with my limited space and tools!!
But, Respect to you, Great job!
well keith really enjoy watching you video,s, i know a lot of what you do,but i think you,ve got some great methods , i can,t wait to try some of your ideas .i can,t understand negative comments, they should head what they like , ignore what they dont like.and shut the xxxx up . all the best
I wonder why some people are so negative about this vid. Certainly, I can’t speak for the guy, but I can see that he’s very confident not only in his tools, but also in his ability to correct or compensate for any dings his tools get. Case in point, at about 10:15, his carpenter’s square was bent, but the line he drew was still straight. So the guy doesn’t baby his tools because he doesn’t have to.
As to him speaking like that, not everyone speaks like Paul Sellers or Norm Abrams in front of the camera. This guy reminds me of a really good engineer I knew, who’s recognized as a leading expert in his field, but is painfully shy of talking to non-experts about his work. He tries his best, but tends to rush or simplify things, because they’re so basic to him and he doesn’t want to bore you, but for others it’s really amazing stuff.
12:00 saw stop the greatest saw i have one at work
Really interesting video. I wish I had your range of tools both hand and power. I learned quite a few things from you in a short space of time so many thanks.
What kind of chisel are you using? I’ve been wanting to buy some larger chisels but done know where to start. I really like the hollow back. I own a set of newer marbles but am looking to get a little deeper into hand tools. I’ve got several lie Nielsen hand planes now. Getting into using hand tools verse power tools. Watched quite a few of your videos and you have inspired me to get back to the roots of carpentry. Thanks.
I’ve never seen or even heard of a "slot mortice plane" before. I guess it’s faster than a hand router. If I don’t have an electric router I just use a chisel. Getting a flat bottom for the hinge is not easy if the grain is difficult. Just using hand tools is more satisfying and quieter, but requires skill.
Great video.
Wow – the only other Wisner right-angle skew I’ve seen besides the one in my chest – LOVE it – great on burl veneer trimming and other misc. applications
Nice.
Wow, I learned a lot about hand-work! A great tour and great looking shop. Thanks for sharing!
Loved this video. So many good ideas from a clear master.
Love your work, knowledge, and skill. Excellent presentation skills. I appreciate that you cut to the chase so we get the specifics and not the wasted time on basic information. If someone is looking at fine woodworking they should already have very good skills and competent understanding as well as the tools needed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thanks for showing us around. I learnt a lot about hand tools I did not know exist, Cheers, Rob.
ha! i was thinking "where’s his router plane for this job?" and then he used his bench plane as a router plane. nice idea!

Wow. One incredible teacher and shop, I’m impressed to say the least.
cool shop, but why do you abuse all your tools and throw everything around? and your tone of voice, it gives such an un-relaxed feeling and gives the impression that you have no passion or arent happy, which makes watching videos like this, a task to watch rather than a pleasure.
Nice but is old school
Now i use router to do that job in one minut..
I like your little miter box for use at point of need. Gotta make one for shoe molding as you suggest. No more trips back and forth to the miter saw!
Thanks for this nice video.
Why the hell would someone not just use a router for hinges? If you did a whole house worth of hinges with a chisel you would be all day.
The great news is you possibly can build project yourself even born with ten thumbs
Nice shop !
I prefer the right tool, power or not, for the job. What a ridiculous comment you made.
Whats name of this black color tools behind of your bench?
Why use the plane on that hinge mortice when you could achieve a better finish in a faster time with a chisel
*_This no doubt is the best collection I’ve seen online [Check Details Here⇒>☞★☞ _**_https://docs.google.com/document/d/13BR16C9hH0uSEj6VeqQZ_4yrRAVn82exL0CTfan3aO4/edit?usp=sharing_**_ ]. Few days of using the plans I have been able to accomplished much by building several woodworks with so much ease. I am very grateful for such a great creation on the internet._*
Great advise. Dont know why some comments are negative below?? Guess they were expecting a brightly-lite video weekend garage-shop-master who hangs up plane shavings on their wall like a trophy instead of just tossing them to the floor like any real craftsman would.
Keep up the good work sir.
Look at the size of those fingers!
Dude, do you even know how much money you have invested in planes and chisel’s?
