  • Oak is my favourite wood to work with. I managed to save some stained oak office furniture from the bonfire, and after sanding it down I found it was perfect for this carved blanket box chest.
    The carving took a lot longer than I expected, but It was a lot of fun to do.

The detail that goes into his pieces and the patience needed to carry this out is astonishing to me as a newbie. I get immense satisfaction from seeing ppl use their hands to build or carve something as special as a piece of art like this. Big up to this man. He ,simply put, is a master craftsman. Great comment my bro..

    I am certain that you hear this all of the time. It is your patience as well as your attention to detail that just shows through in your craftsmanship. This is part of what the world is starting to lose. I can stack woodworkers by the dozen that are out there. You are a Craftsman in the true sense. What people may miss in your 30 min videos is the real time and dedication to your craft. You never rush. You never take shortcuts. For the most part, you use tools that even a basic woodworker has on hand. You use well selected used wood,which is of good quality in its heart, with clean grain and superb dryness. It is the culmination of all of these things that sets you apart. Your videos are inspiring if not a bit intimidating. Again it comes back to your patience. Thank you for always sharing your work with us.

Also, as a fellow content creator I appreciate that you don’t speak, or show the complete process of the project, but rather you show how each step is done on one little section and then jump ahead to that step being done. Your work is done in a way that keeps my brain working on what and how you are doing something so that if I wanted to try it too, I feel like I can do it. 👍
