A truly wonderful insight into the amazing wood shops by some of the most talented and skilled craftsmen that exist in your country. Will certainly view all the videos related to the craftsman included here for further inspiration. Thank you so much for providing such an enjoyable and extremely interesting video. Traditional craft and its promotion is so important - so grateful for this contribution and other similar content that you share!!!
Thanks so much Jeff! What country do you live in? I'm hoping to do some workshop tours in other countries after the pandemic!
Based in England (UK) but aim to be heading your way to realise my cabinet making dreams. Queen Anne style and Federal furniture are of particular interest to me. I have previous traditional fibrous plastering knowledge and am currently completing my second year on a traditional stonemasonry course in Bath which is so interesting and rewarding . In particular it’s fascinating to see, contrast and learn how different crafts tackle related skills in varying ways. Will cross the Atlantic after the conclusion to my masonry course to add to that knowledge in wood!!! Thanks once again for your video posts!!!!
@@jeffbourne6015 We'll gladly welcome you to the U.S. Jeff!
good job
Thank you for sharing these amazing talented craftsmen with us teach us so much .
I met Frank at a woodworking show in western Ma. about 15 years ago; he stopped by my woodcarving booth at the closing of the first night. After purchasing one of my carvings he commented to some of the other nearby woodworkers that my dovetails were in his eyes; "perfect", he then graciously invited me to have dinner with him at a local restaurant. WOW, let me say that backwards, WOW. A night to always cherish and remember ! ! ! ~ Myron Hood
I am a antique Horologist who appreciates and loves talented people who do what they love, and use their hands in lockstep with their brain to create original masterpieces. Thank you so much for posting your video, and after doing what I love for 21 years, I know the man who has one clock knows the correct time, the man with two clocks is never really sure! Stay Safe!
Thanks Jim!
There's nothing better than a master craftsman who is excited to share what he knows
These Gentlemen are not mere wood workers they are true artists. You are all Masters of trade and we lonely mortals are always in awe of what it takes to in vision your creations.
Phil Lowe was a friend and an incredible furniture maker and woodworking teacher. I'm familiar with Elia also. Having graduated from NBSS furniture program myself. This video was a real treat.
I like how wooworkers are drawn to nature.
Those shops are all great. The guy with the off grid barn that he bought on eBay was amazing. The old fashioned, aged woodworking shops are a journey back in time. True craftsmanship. Not the commercialized materials that you see today. A dream of mine is to discover woodworking in my own shop/man cave. Currently I'm barely keeping my head above water financially and I feel almost like I'm trapped. I work in the office furniture business as a builder/laborer but the focus is on quantity with most pieces being comprised of compressed particle board held together with cam-locks. Maybe one day I can afford to buy my own time and learn how to do some quality builds. For now I'm just happy when I get a chance to use my wormdrive circular saw. Great video. I hit the like button. Keep up the good....woodwork
My vote would be for Frank Klausz. I had the opportunity to visit his shop and talk with the master of dovetails. Really special.
Great William!
Nice work. I was fortunate enough to work with Frank Krausz for a year & had the opportunity to see his home shop. It was an incredible experience even though we went back & forth about whether cutting pins first or tails first was the best method for dovetails. I expected to learn quite a bit, but I never expected his appreciation of my hard-earned skills or that I could actually show him a few tricks as well. Whenever I doubt my course in life or find myself with a low bank account balance, I always remember the words he spoke to me & why I return to my passion in life.
Phil Lowe passed away and the school had to shut down. His work and teaching was truly amazing and everything I've read says he was a heck of a guy too
Man, he looks so agile in this video too. Sad
Thanks for putting so many workshops in one video. I look forward to watching your full videos.
All of them. Because they are all humble and hard working people. And a proud of America.
This is the second time I watch this video. Great people they are. That's civilization. Thanks for making it available.
Hard to choose, But going with Frank Clausz. Thanks for sharing these!
Great choice...and you're welcome Tim!
That chess table William Brown made was the most amazing piece.
They were all great. Not just informative, but also Historical.
My vote goes to the hungarian-born woodworker, being myself from Hungary (and also a woodworker). Great channel, learned a lot by watching the videos.
I love Hungary! Such great people there. I'd love to go back someday.
This video triggered many memories for me and is a welcome journey back in time. Its great seeing that there are still traditional woodworking schools keeping the craft alive. All the craftsman featured, from the younger guys, to the more senior guys, are truly talented.
Glad you liked it!
I'd be anxious about doing this myself
I'm just sitting down to watch, and am totally caught off guard by Frank's overflowing generosity.
One other thing, being a chronic clutter-bug, the idea of a round shop gives me hope that perhaps, with the right "environment", I could at last be less likely to leave stuff in a corner.
Ha, ha! I never thought about no corners!
I vote for Wayne Henderson. I have met Wayne several times and have visited his shop. The quality of his work is amazing. His guitars are both woodworking masterpieces and wonderful musical instruments. And in addition he is so humble.
I just love Frank’s round shop; it would be such a neat room to have. A place to be alone where the only sounds made are yours. It gives a feeling of bright warmth, safety, and the over all feeling that there are previously untried possibilities available if one just will pause, breathe, and begin again.
All the woodworking shops are unique in there creative artwork where gifts become apparent, some to excellent workmanship and others capturing the past. I have bought a fully functional woodworking shop where previous owner ( machinest by trade ) modified & rebuilt various woodworking machines to multiple uses, for example a radial arm saw was converted into wood milling using different routers. Great work & show, May God Bless you all, all glory & thanks go to our creator and our Lord Jesus.
Just when I think 'I have seen enough', I discover videos like this and get rejuvenated. This video is a treasure in itself and like fine wine, it's gonna be more precious as time passes by. I really mean it and I am so honoured to have seen it today. Wonderful!
All the woodworking shops are unique and hard to choose which is best. They all have a specific place in creative
VERY VERY NICE TOUR THANKS SO MUCH
So good to see that the shops exist and flourish. And even better that young folks are learning and practicing these beautiful skills.
I imagine that love is part of watch all those workshops and people who wants to share what they have done, thank you for your video´s
Thoroughly enjoyed!!
Let’s not forget that GIGANTIC chisel in Frank’s shop.
simply beautiful
Thanks for this summary tour - I've watched many of your tours over the years. I was particularly touched by seeing "Phillip Lowe’s Furniture Making School" - Phil, sadly is no longer with us and the school has bee closed. He was a wonderful guy and a great teacher. Our woodworking group (Eastern Massachusetts Woodworking Guild) had many classes/demos in his shop over the years and he will be sorely missed. I'm fortunate to have the presentation plane that was given to him for the "Fiske Lecture 2010".
Oh no, I didn't know about Phil. But thank you for letting me know. A true treasure of a man. Hopefully this was a suitable tribute to him?
This is awesome, I just turned 30 and I’m currently trying to save money to build my own wood shop, and this video was very inspiring. I’ve been doing woodwork since I was about 15, and now I know for sure this is what I want to do because I love working with my hands and creating works of art.
I loved them all and I loved this Video... I watched this with my first cup of coffee and I find Wood Working so calming... Thank you.
As a Master Toolmaker, I would happily sharpen these guys chisels and planes just to sit in the shop and watch them work. I could lap them down to razors (actually sharper than razors).
that round water tank was really cool!
I liked the tour of Williams shop
This was Awesome!!!! Thanks!!!
This whole video was sheer heaven for me, a hobby woodturner and furniture maker. It's clear that I have a long way to go to meet the standard of these gentlemen but I'm determined to try and get at least halfway there.
Oh what a jaw dropping collection of work shops......really fantastic....I would love to just stand and quietly look
Thank you Joshua.....I wish you well....John UK
You're certainly welcome John! Where in the UK do you live? I used to live there.
Grotty Gravesend.....Kent......about 25 miles east of London.....where were you from Joshua.
Joshua I have watched lots of your stuff and most of those in your list of ten....I am mystified with your connection to them as they can be found independently. Are you able to explain please. Best John uk
Hey John, I lived all over Scotland. Some people I just reached out to meet them, and others I met through other people.
Thanks for the tours. I was shocked when you said we were on the last one, time flies when you're having fun. For the time being, I'll have to remain on my side of the garage. Thanks for showing me some dreams come true!
Dang man how do you distinguished the best among the best..? They all tremendous in what they do... Keep it up.. not only the USA but the world need these sovineir gems...
🎉l in love the in shop as t Colonial Williamsburg Va. Ive met many of the wood craftsman and those in the maintenance shopwho keeps all the repairs going. Thanks for this wonderful tour.
my dream to learn wood working in one of those great schools
Wow. For me to spend a day with any of those carpenters in any of those woodshops would truly be a dream come true. That would include you and your shop too. Thanks for a great video.
what a fantastic piece of history.
Nice seeing these video's again. Thanks
You're very welcome!
My favorite is actually yours:) Love the Moravian benches, all the painting work and everything else! Has a little Scandinavian feel to it!
Thank you. I am drooling...
So much retirement goals in these shops. I love it all. Only just started on the journey of making things out of wood at almost 40 years old, but I plan to live to at least 80 years old so I still got most of my life ahead of me to learn from masters like these and the new ones.
You've got plenty of time Dirk!
That was wonderful. Hard to pick a favorite. Thank you.
WOW... they were all breathtakingly smazing. Such talent
I truly enjoyed all of the shop tours, there uniqueness was great to their owners. Thank you for bringing this to us.
I love that Freight Train was being played in the background. Great memory for me. Awesome work shops and loved the music.
Thanks. What a great set of tours.
That was an awesome video! Thanks so much... you're like me, you love visiting and interviewing other woodworkers!
Yeah right pick just one favorite
Absolutely wonderful tour. I loved the last wood shop in colonial Williamsburg. Thank you for sharing.
Great video that can inspire many, I am one of them. Thanks a lot.
While most shops contend with dust and heating issues, mine is in the tropical rainforest of Tobago. The temperature is always between 68 and 88 fahrenheit. I blow all dust out into the surrounding forest, back to where it came from. The local woods, (mahogany, cypress, cedar) are incredible and inexpensive. I'm a lucky man!
You asked for my favorites. There are no favorites they are all excellent and I couldn’t begin to make a choice.
Thank you.
Bob, the crab skiff guy.
Your shop Joshua is jaw dropping 😊👍
I appreciate it!
Awesome tour
I love them all
Would love to visit each of these shops.
This was such a treat. Well done for taking the time to put this together.
I'm REALLY interested in learning more about how these woodworkers organize their shops for efficiency and aesthetics to apply to my own workshop.
thank you a brilliant illustration of true talent
I haven’t got a favourite. They are all brilliant tradesmen and obviously borne with a mallet, wood chisel or plane in their hand. Out standing craftsman ship coming from all of them 👌
Each one of those shops were amazing. Not necessarily because of the woodworking shop itself, but because of the talented craftsmen's that were working in those shops. Thanks for sharing...
Exactly. Thanks for watching!
My favorite was the first - workshop of Frank Klausz. Beautiful and unique!
Awesome. I can't put one above the other. Great video.
Thank you for this video. Truely amazing. Post-covid would love to visit all of them 😄
Simplicity is though the best design. Thanks for a fabulous video.
Thank you so much for providing such an enjoyable and extremely interesting video.
All great shops but frank gets my vote I cant see enough of his videos!
Yeah, he's a great guy!
Great video, all the shops are amazing.
Truly amazing, thank you for sharing the video.
Indeed those are Jaw Dropping shop! Congrats!
Cheers from Brazil!
A brilliant insight to some of the most skilful woodworkers on the planet my favourite from your video is Frank Klaus thank you for showing all of these wood shops
Beautiful video...a relief to know such people exist
Great video!! Keep up the excellent work.
I would very much enjoy attending any one of these woodworking classes.
Wow!!! Great Stuff!!! Thank You For Sharing!!!! 👍😎😃
Beautiful
Hi Joshua, greetings from England. Thanks for the wonderful videos.
What a treat. Thanks for posting.
Need a few hours to review this video clip. Amazing amount of time & information to view again and again.
Awesome video! Truly inspiring. Thanks for filming and sharing.
Like others, I cant pick just one. They were all amazing!! Thank you for putting this together and sharing. I hope and pray that I will that good at some point in my life.
The Williamsburg shop is my favorite, I was there few days ago for a visit
This was the first of your videos that I've seen. That was great! What a great bunch of Master Craftsmen! I've grown to love the idea of woodworking but know nothing. The idea of becoming 1/2 as good as these men would be amazing! Thanks for sharing!
thanks for the tours
You're welcome Scott
Very enjoyable look into many different workshops. All insightful and impressive in their own way. I must say I am going to plan a visit to Colonial Williamsburg after watching this video. Thanks! You always do a great job!
This collection is exquisite!
Fantastic video, really enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing 😁👍
Wonderfull!
Thanks for the video !!!!!!
You're certainly welcome James!
Loved it
Very impressive wood working shops and wood workers.
This guy should be narrating more documentary type programmes. I am super new to woodworking, and I make planters for people during the warmer months. Would love to be schooled by some of these gentlemen. greetings from soggy south wales (uk)
Welcome my Welch friend!
Thanks Josh. Truly amazing.
You're welcome!
Great Video
