Nice video, thanx.
lovely job!
Very nice it’s great to see an old school craftsman. I love it
I live in High Wycombe, which was the centre of the chair-making and therefore bodging area in Buckinghamshire. Always been interested – scraps of history all around the area, but never actually seen a bodger at work.
Coming from a guy named handy andy…hmm… makes one wonder heh?
Wonderful.
Except for the Japanese saw.
@Michael Sherwin It was funny as a mere suggestion (Bradley); fully explicated, not so much (you).
Wank camera work
Excellent.
