      @@leonruvalcaba1549 Sound of the work is very important too. You can hear many properties of the material you work with. Every service tech with some experience will tell you that. Each machine has it's own specific "music" and if you know it, you can find out a lot of problems before they can become a disaster :)
      Sound in work is as much important as sight, that's why i also preffer those clips with real sounds of the craft.

    Torbjörn, i LOVE what you do;
    Little tip; try chalking the wood where an axe handle is gonna rest, or any tight metal on wood part that you don't want slipping.
    Chalk is extremely grippy, never lost a head or decorative metal part with it.
    Also try chalking your files too, it works well for clog prevention.
