The videos here are a combination of animations of geometric constructions that I use in my pre-industrial design process and short clips of hand-tool related techniques and musings. These are just my opinions, of course, and if you don't like it I have others.

Interesting that when making a layout tool that will be accurate to a couple thousandth of an inch (because it will be tried and true with a try plane truly enough) you start by removing chunks with a freehand wedge!
