  • For the last 3 weeks i have been making these main doors for the workshop. It was a really fun build and i felt like my woodworking had come a long way while doing them as i felt quite confident. They took a long time to make (around 150 hours) Working with curves and reclaimed wood adds alot of time to a project but its worth it!
    These video take a long time to make so if you enjoy them and want to help out the channel check out my patreon.

    Good Morning 🌄 Kris.
    Can you please help me? Your work is beyond general compliments. My father (RIP dad) went to Williamson and he was a true Meck! Your style of carpentry and woodworking skills amaze me. Seriously though when are you visiting the 🇺🇸 USA? I live in Pennsylvania and I plan to move to Alaska ❤ in 2 years.

    As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ruclips.net/user/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ .

    Btw Engels Coach Shop (Dave Engel) has adapted his morticer so that it works in all kinds of weird angles in order to cut the holes for the spokes in the wooden axles. That is definitely a recommended channel. Blacksmithing, woodworking, restoration, sewing, wood bending, loads of totally different skills
