drzaius Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Fascinating! Love the tiny dovetails, and I've never seen a drill like that before. That table saw scared me a little though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree however it would be nice to understand what is being said. I turned on the Youtube closed captioning and it made no sense at all.

drzaius Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 It would be nice to have an english narration, but just watching the action is so interesting. The guy's done this more than once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think he's kind of cheating the japanese tradition by working from a chair. Most of the traditional japanese woodworking videos show a workbench that is just a thick slab on the floor, with a planing stop at one end. The user sits on the floor, and often uses one foot to hold the work piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
