cram 100s of people in a factory with state of the art machinery/software and they can produce hundreds and thousands of exact replicas of things that all ready needlessly exist in the world. place a dude in a workshop with a bunch of scrap, and he can produce truly one of pieces that have never been seen before.

After he finished the board itself I thought ' that's a short one but nice", but then I noticed all the pieces of soid, ' oh so now he is making a storage box for the chess pieces, of course he is', but the bit that got me was I could not work out the cuts on each corner, but to see him measure and cut tiny piece for decorative and also the brass square on each corner, I thought he is showing of now, good is not enough for this amazing man, he is only satisfied when it stands out. Fabulous and would braces any hime, I would not be surprised if he is a chess master as well.

The first video of your channel that I saw was the 'Narnia' wardrobe, and I was hooked. You are not only a superbly skilled craftsman, but an incredible artist. The detail and finish that you put into everything you make is amazing, and anyone who owns one of your pieces is very lucky, they are worthy of becoming family heirloom items. It is hard to believe that such beautiful items are made from stuff that most would burn or bin as unusable, and it is a good lesson to everyone to take a second thought before just tossing stuff out. Thanks for letting us all see the beauty of your work, and the process behind the finished pieces.

Never a question on that, my friend. I always enjoy your videos. I prefer, like now, to watch them on my phone where I’m signed in so I can leave a quick comment/like to appease the almighty algorithm - try to get more traffic sent your way! How long have you had that drum sander? Have I just totally missed that in other videos? It’s quite possible since I’ve watched the last several of yours on the telly (hence the lack of comments) and don’t get to watch uninterrupted, ha. A beautiful piece, as always but congratulations on getting the orientation right! If you’re going to put features like the drawers which indicate which are the ranks and which are the files then you’ve got to make sure you orientate it, of course. I’ve seen several makers who don’t know chess make this mistake. Suffice it to say, your excellent video did once again prove to be very relaxing. A couple of months ago, I had a few days where I had to cut down some plate stock which were all a bit bigger than a sheet of A4 into six squares 12mm aluminium, 8mm mild steel and some 8mm stainless (only a couple of them, fortunately) all by hand. As soon as you brought the hacksaw out, I had PTSD-like flashbacks. 😅 Thankfully you followed it up with some filing, that’s like my meditation. Just last week, I helped a friend by breaking all the edges, extending holes into square slots etc on a run of small parts (150 of them!) as well as removing all the cast marks from another (very intricate) piece. Loved every second of it. Probably just as physically demanding as all the cutting especially since you move around to judge your progress (versus getting a good position and going at it for a cut). Despite that, the experiences couldn’t be further from each other. The sawing is just so tedious. Wow, rant over I suppose. Wasn’t intending to go off on a tangent like that but when do my comments not? At least my mental illness is fuelling engagement for the channel. 😂 All the best.
@EpicUpCycling Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comments, Sam. Always good to hear from you. I've had the drum sander for quite a while but it doesn't get a lot of use. I don't think it's been in any of the other videos. I mainly use it to get really thin stock when the thicknesser can't handle it. Great for making veneers.
