5 years after the video was posted I do hope David is still there, I can't imagine a better training for him. They had tools that looked well used and their passion was more than obvious. An absolutely stunning video, thank you for posting.
The skills that these gentlemen have are wonderful and astounding. Jims attention to detail with the design and construction of those inlays is incredible and the outcome perfect. Great to see David's interest in woodworking, and to have such teachers. Wonderful. Thanks for putting this up.
Wonderful work, painstaking and precise, lovely to see these craftsmen still doing an age old craft so very well, love this and are there any more videos of this company working, and good luck to David, hope he keeps up the skills these guys are passing on to him.
It very clear to see that the McMartin & Beggins Furniture Company is creating very well designed and made furniture, and they are a very knowledgeable talented team of carpenters. The huge error in this presentation is that in the process of you introducing a young apprentice, and in the midst of the instructor doing the physical task of cutting a block of laminated lumber into a drawer face at a high speed bandsaw, 'the safety glasses are absent, both on the instructor and the student. (film time 8:06) I am a sculptor and new to the art of carpentry, however not new to the safety precautions that we all need within a highly dangerous workshop environment.
Wonderful work. No router jig stuff on the tails. But you guys need some OWWM in the form of a BIGGER bandsaw! I always learned to use QS oak for draw linings. What are you guys using for drawer linings? Also are you cutting the pins first? I didnt see any pin cutting before or after David did his cut work. Also, David appeared to waste the center of the line. That is why I ask about pins first? I like the groove cutter. It reminds me of my violin's purfelling cutter. Thanks.
Oh good god 'rats A'...give it a rest. I don't think there was a 'lot of danger' involved in the band sawing part. The young fellow was out of the way. Sure, the operator of the saw should have had them on, especially since he didn't know or have the proper sized saw blade in the machine. He should have a 1" wide or so. Enjoyed your political rant. Then your 'f' off' turns me off. Like you are a 'workin man' and you got a Right to rant about any of this? haha. Yeah right.
Not in the slightest contrived. The poor kid standing around pretending to to be incredibly interested. Just kidding. Great to see old style craftsmanship and skills being passed on.
Yes we all have to learn but please don't say well done and not point out mistakes.Closer supervision and stressing "don't go past the line"will be more beneficial to all parties!.Please be over the moon for the chance you have.
10:46 it looked like the first time that guy had cut a dovetail and people are giving him shit for it , what did your dovetails look like when you started at college or your apprenticeship it probably wasn't must better then that ,and if you are a trained professional you would have learned how to fix it .
Great woodworking skills, and shop~~~Martin and Beggins.

I'd be interested to know what that piece sold for

Nice
its a good job but next time stop at the line young David...
Woooooooooow, I hope David stuck with it!!!
He probably has no clue as to how lucky he really is.
Hard to make woodworking pay in the UK!!??
FYI the Irish call all cupboards/closets a press.
I need to grow a tash!
Those dovetail pins the youngster was making are not the same ones you see when they are inserted in the drawer.
How could they! They were horrible!
you forgot your safety glasses
Saftey equipment was removed for the filming process. I didn't see the disclaimer.
where is the safety glasses..
Apparently safety glasses aren't required while operating a bandsaw!
Not really, safety police notwithstanding.

Not exactly an add for guilette razors!!
This is fine cabjnetmaking? He pounded on the bare wood faces and joinery to fit that board...really pounded.
Silly. That was mild.
