I will make it myself this week I think. Just got instructions from WoodPrix and I'm ready for do it :D

Awesome tutorial.. the only thing I would change is naming the tools you are using for us beginners. 😁

Handmade is obviously a on a continuum but is there a point something is no longer handmade. Someone might say if you use power tools it's not handmade, but I doubt the maker went to the forest with an axe and buck sawed their rough stock. Perhaps the best distinction is whether hand or power tools were used to "assist the hands" or whether they were used to "replace the hands". Under this definition, a table saw, a power router, a planer and I have to admit the Domino, would be tools to "assist the hands" in creating parts and joints and not much different than someone using a hand saw, chisel or a plane to create the parts or pieces required to assemble the finished project. CNC machines, laser cutters, and the Shaper Origin , however, create the parts pretty much on their own, and in essence they "replace the hands", not assist them. So I would suggest use of such tools crosses a line from something being "hand made" to something being "assembled by hand". Not a lot different than buying all the parts online and then assembling the pieces. There is nothing wrong with using CNCs and shapers and laser cutters and they are incredible tools, fun, extremely useful, and can allow makers to create things they cannot or could not make by hand. They also require a whole new skill set to design and create the programs. But if I put a block of wood in my CNC and it carves out a bowl with carved insignia and my laser cuts out an insert from a logo on the internet which I simply glue into the precut socket, I would have a hard time putting it up for sale claiming it was "handmade". Of course in realty many projects are a mix of hand tools, power tools and perhaps computer created parts, which just blurs the distinction of whether something is handmade versus hand assembled. Either way, some woodworkers love working with all the latest machines and others prefer to work predominantly with hand tools and traditional joinery. Regardless, we are all "woodworkers" just people with different preferences for how we work and with differing levels and sets of skills. ( unless you make epoxy tables - then you are a plastic worker :)

(this turned into a huge rant) I would argue that advantages to handmade things are purely symptoms. Obviously something less precise, something rougher, something that may have a flaw that missed or needed to be left because the tool was not available that could have fixed it, is going to be worse in objective quality at the top range of either. But as art, or when machinery is used carelessly, handmade things are pretty much guaranteed to win. Miyazaki's sadness very likely came from the idea that a machine imitating a real human being is a lot of work when a person can already do the job, and when that person was doing that job out of *passion* all it has really done is to separate that animator from something they love. We were supposed to use AI with care as a tool to help make things easier and enable people to express their creativity more easily but all we do with modern technology is increase production without shortening the working day. Imperfections and struggle can be used as inspiration and can express individuality. It is so hard to be given a blank slate and told to be creative. Old buildings don't have character because the people building them really loved the ideas of small windows and columns but because those were challenges that needed to be solved in some way or because they were simply limitations. Chasing the "handmade" label is how we allow ourselves to avoid using objectively better materials so we can feel a real sense of accomplishment and a connection to the end product. I want important, mission critical stuff to be made well and made with precision and consistency in mind. I want machines to make my tools, my car, my laptop, and my mandolin strings. I want machines to *help* us produce food for everyone, and to reliably and safely heat and cool my home. Heck I'm even ok with machines helping get people access to less expensive instruments and the like so long as they're used responsibly. In contrast I have no interest in machines being used by greedy business people to fire content creators, or to see that technology used as a crutch and allowed to make mistakes because the people operating them don't know or care how to check for defects. We are more productive than we've ever been and we know that a human being isn't even able to be productive, longterm, for more that ~6hrs in a day and yet we're still working 40hr weeks with shit for vacation days and told we need to be happy with TWO paid sick days a year in too many places. Ideally, the machines work hard so that we can work smart. Too often these days we work hard so the machines can make poor imitations of us and that's just, honestly, pretty fucked up.

Interesting point about screws and nails negating the handmade aspect. I’m sure many 19th-century furniture makers would beg to differ, as their use was often a practical choice and part of the craft at the time.

I made a similar one with WoodPrix instructions!

I think you are spot on . Hand made is like an onion there are definitely different levels .pure handmade like making a stone tools to build a bow and arrow or using all power tools to build the bow and arrow . You get something similar one is going to have more of the maker's mark than the other ,although it should work similarly.

Very nice Ezra. Happy New Year to you! 🎉 Please keep making these videos, I certainly learn a whole lot from them. As for the question hand made? I think no power tools is the answer! 😊. Best Wishes from the UK.

I built a moravian workbench this spring as my first real woodworking workbench. It was a challenging build but I love it! Good luck on your build my friend!

Consider putting the screw of your leg vice through the leg of the bench and angling the chop to match the angle of the leg. There is great utility in it.

Nice choice a Moravian is a handsome design and the leg splay means massive timbers aren’t needed to give it stability

Looking forward to your build, Brother…I spent way too much time over analyzing the design for my workbench, but I’m glad I made it heavy and solid. Mass is your friend, as well as rock solid joinery.

A comment to appease the YT gods and give you more time in your quiet place.

Im building a nicholson anarchist cross workbench (hopefully it works) now using a roman-ish workbech. The thing i appreciate most about my roman-ish work ench most is the mass. Thicker surface, thicker legs about 6". Nothing fancy or special. I can pound away at a 2.5 inch deep mortise and it doesn't move, doesnt bounce. Mass is a great element to include. Look forward to seeing the progress.

the art we do is in the wood we use not on paper merry christmas my friend

I am really sure you can make it yourself mates. I made it 2 weeks ago thanks to WoodPrix.

Put that cooked rice in a blender and blend it until it's creamy. add a little water if you need to. You won't have to do all that mushing and squashing to get it usable.

Awesome! I love card scrapers!

Very enjoyable delivery

These are getting better and better

Dude, that shooting board is too Effin' cool! Adapt, Innovate, Overcome subscribed

Very nice. When I use my kerfing plane, I feel confident that I am going to get the most usable wood. However, I might suggest that you do the actual resaw with a Kataba instead of a Ryoba. The non-performing inactive row of teeth on the spine of the Ryoba will mar the surface as the blade moves inside the wood. A Kataba is the same thickness but only has one row of teeth with a clear spine. For resawing you only need a rip tooth Kataba as resawing is all rip cutting and no cross-cutting

I love you for who you are. I hope that you will be eternally blessed. ❤

Great ideas 👍🏻, as you say some of best solutions are the simplest ones , like the way have presented theses solutions 👏🏻 This is NOT a criticism, more an observation, and maybe the camera mount ….but your workbench appears to have a fair bit of lateral movement when planing. Would it help to have some weight on a shelf under the bench like a sandbag or even store some heavy tools down there, perhaps add a simple,cross brace across the bench legs ?

Some good ideas for the novice.

Nice bookshelf! I appreciate your laid back attitude and your philosophy of Just go make something, do your best, don’t worry about what someone else has done. ✌️

Well done! Understanding and mastering the basic techniques…priceless!

Well said Sir, I watch an awful lot of woodworking videos and ( sweeping statement) a lot are made in America and a lot of them are shite.... amateur woodworking with all the tools in a cabinet behind them etc a video camera and a need to have smoke blown up their arse... so it is refreshing to see it as it is and should be, hat off to you.

Nicely done. With this plane could you make a series of blades that are different radius’s for use in different situations? One question, what is the tool with the blue handle?

This guy is good

Totally agree , people over think things with fancy power tools etc. keep it simple and you'll find hand tools are more fun to work with 😊

Tips that can be used for all woodworkers, no just beginners! Keep them coming!

1) wisdom with age…the workshop is my place of many thoughts too. Great thoughts. 2) excellent content. How would these disks work (but smaller) as “maker marks” on things you make or have made? (E.g embed a smaller one on the kerfing plane, or on bottom of the box you made instead of using a hot stamp?…just a thought…

Good message. Thanks

You should have been a philosopher! 😃👍🏻

Cool, looks like your own Ezra battalion challenge coin

Not too late, I started CNC work just over 3 years ago at age 62, its my retirement therapy. Loving every minute of it, designing using all the art work that I never learned at school !

Oh, one other thing. If you take a piece of PVC pipe and glue one end cap on, then glue on a threaded end cap on the other end where you can put a removable plug, you can put in your bigger 1.5 and up as bid as you want, I guess, and soak your billet for at least a week but 2-3 is better in mineral oil. It makes cutting the threads so much better. Smooth as glass and almost zero tear out. And it kind of swells the wood, like boat builders did back in the day, and condenses the wood too. Results are AMAZING and the difference is TRUELY AMAZING.

Neat. Should the fence be on the other side so you can push with your right hand?

9:25 if only you had a rabbet plane...

Good job

nice visual style. realy something else. i enjoyed every part of your build/video.

Great video but I could do without the music, I like it when there is just the ambient sound

good tip with the lateral adjuster, works the same with sharpening, doesn't have to be 90 degrees exactly because, you have a lateral adjuster

Just what you need for drawer bottoms! I like the shooting board.

Nice work! Inspiring. Great video.

Great job

Awesome as usual!!!

I can't believe that the people at yt did not push this my way. Nice plane.
