I've spent countless hours researching how to do string inlay, saw all the various tools people have made, considered expensive "systems", only to watch Frank use a nail. This only re-enforces my rule to learn from those who made a living off their woodworking, who had to put food on the table for their family, not from those who make a living off of writing about woodworking.
This guy is a grand master woodworker so much skill I worked for a 86 year old master carpenter as an apprentice for 5 years until his passing 11 years ago and I would still be learning something from him today if he was still around. Thanks for sharing your knowledge we need more of you guys around.
What a master. I seal the substrate wood first to stop creeping of glue, and I scrape rather than sand to avoid contrasting wood dust discolouring the substrate. Whatever I do, it would not compare with his craftsmanship. His teaching is clear and I love his refreshing Hungarian accent.
That is great advice unless both woods have very closed grain structure. If you scrape and it’s sharp and making shavings not dust, you shouldn’t need to seal.
Does Frank still do any public appearances? It would be so gratifying to shake his hand and thank him in person, seems like a very kind man ~

I don't have the means to learn in person and you don't work anymore at your shop so I very much appreciate these classes! I kinda feel like I can call myself an honorary apprentice at least! Thanks!
Respected Sir, I applaud and pay my honour to you. You are very genius teacher I like to work with you but unfortunately I am very faraway. But my best regards with you.
"...I made this box when I was sixteen years old..." Pause video, walk in the other room in disgust and rethinks his hobby skill, and feels slightly nauseated.
@@bighands69 good lord not everything is about economics. It’s incredible that he made something so elegant and challenging at the age of 16 regardless of anything else
All Frank has ever asked of anyone is a bit of their time ❤. You think though that by age 16 apprenticing for his own father and the rate at which they worked, that he already had what for many of us would take 20 years to experience in his father’s cabinet shop. I will agree that he makes many things look effortless, but one thing it took for me to gain from him was that he only worries about appearances when and where it matters; otherwise it’s violence of action.
It depends on what you are doing. If you are running hundreds of feet of board with inlay then it makes sense to use machines. But if you are doing one of bits of furniture then it makes more sense to build the skills and use hand tools and on occasions power tools.
im saddened that these masters will be gone and so will the old but simple techniques will disappear.Even the skill of using a hammer has deminished because of the air nailer .When i was an apprentice 35 yrs ago i trimmed , framed by hammer and nail.Now day i enjoy using my hammer instead of air nailing.
It has happened before. My grandfather was from the Arts and Craft period of woodworking. And he learned from his father and grandfather. I trained with my grandfather from when I was a young boy. And when my grandfather passed his knowledge went to my father and me but there was still things that were lost. We have to be honest furniture making today is nowhere near the standards or creativity of the 18th and 19th century. Mahogany was the wood of choice for cabinet makers of that era.
This is not the case. The interest in fine woodworking and woodworking with hand tools is on the rise. Of course, it will not be as widespread as it were when hand tools were the only option, but RUclips among other media spreads the good word about hand tools. I'm a hobbyist who prefer hand tools. At the furniture factory I work, there are two young apprentices, both machine woodworkers, but one of them is in love with hand tool woodworking. We always have a lot to talk about. The other apprentice doesn't get it, and that's fine, but it gives me much hope that the first one does. And I know so many hand tools only who resaw by hand, and I know just as many who use jointers, thicknesser, and bandsaws to resaw and prepare the lumber, but use hand tools for everything else. That's perfectly fine. Even Shannon Rodgers often uses machines to prepare his lumber.
Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way. Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out. Look for signs that you are saved. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible, etc… These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!!!!!

Frank's videos are always great. He's truly a master woodworker.
Wow. I am always amazed at how fast and efficient he works. His furniture looks flawless.
Wow. An amazingly simple hand tool and technique that the master has kindly shared with us.
It is always a pleasure to see master Frank Klausz.

Absolute top notch craftsmanship. Wonderful.

"...I made this box when I was sixteen years old..." Pause video, walk in the other room in disgust and rethinks his hobby skill, and feels slightly nauseated.
He lived in a communist state and it was really his only joy to be had. He did not get the wealth that others had in market economies.

"he lived in a communist country, thats why he made beautiful, intricate things"

If only I could be an apprentice for awhile or know a percentage of what he does....
Much better than using a power tool. And Faster!!!

The above link is broken.
And start scratching. Proceeds to make lovely music while making shavings.
