A Craftsman's Legacy | The Joiner | Woodworking

[@Samuel-zo6yh]

#ThirdCoastCraftsman I'm currently 33, did 11 years in the Canadian air force, currently studying for an engineering degree, and realized a year ago my heart wasn't in it. So I've started slowly getting back into my passion and where I truly know my heart is, carpentry/woodworking. It's extremely motivating watching you speak of pretty much the exact pattern I'm going through. Ill be building my shop come fall, and cannot wait to grab my coffee, start my fire stove, and build things with my hands every single day. Thank you, just shows me if you can, I can.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you to everyone who watched the premiere and joined the chat!!

[@Festus171]

Even though I love all your videos, this one was tops! Great project, Great guest, Fantastic presentation. The Craftsman or Artist question is something I've come to look for in every episode and it was delivered with grace and style as always. Keep 'em coming Eric. Thanks!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you very much! It's one of my favorite questions. The answers are always perfect.

[@esmekaffen4961]

SO glad you’re back! Have enjoyed every show you’ve done…really looking forward to new season. And very convenient that you’re on KZbin. Yay!!!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you so much!

[@talltimberswoodshop7552]

That's a beautiful bookcase! You guys used Danish Oil. Homemade in Lviv uses American Oil. Must be like preachers: the farther they come the better they're supposed to be.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Nice! Thanks

[@cindydineen4292]

It was wonderful to see the beginning of a new season for ACL!! Chris was the perfect craftsman to feature for episode #1! I thought that it was very special that his journey into craftsmanship was very similar to your own, Eric. You both were inspired by your grandfather's love for woodworking! What a beautiful legacy!! The bookshelf turned out great! So amazing that most of the intricate work was done with hand tools! Chris is such a talented and creative craftsman! His shop is awesome and that workbench is amazing! Glad to see you back Eric! God bless!!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you Cindy!

[@PillageB4UBurn]

It was a long wait, but YOU MADE IT! Excellent episode sir... Congratulations! A perfect way to forget the insanity of the world for a 1/2 hr. I can't wait for the next episode! Thanks Eric!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Well said! Thank you

[@amireal.865]

Dude why TF you only got 2k likes lmao

[@juliachild9377]

Great video, but the background music is way too loud compared to the voices. To be honest, I think you should just get rid of the background music whenever people are speaking, but please turn it way down at the very least.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thanks for the feedback, Julia.

[@richsumner8402]

Great show! I enjoy the Craftsman's Legacy show and Chris is a real inspiration in our woodworking craft. Well done both of you.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thanks for watching! Chris is truly an inspiration

[@jenniferandrews1917]

Brilliant show! I loved the fact that he puts so much thought into his projects before he even begins to build them. It’s worth mentioning that one has to have a lot of patience and skill to NOT take the “short cuts.” Great job, Eric.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Great point!! Thank you

[@jenniferandrews1917]

My pleasure, Eric. Keep doing what you're doing.🙂

[@austininatx]

Nice! Favorite KZbin series featuring a favorite channel! Third Coast Craftsman is a woodworking god. I started watching him years ago when he did a (rolling?) tray with all kinds of cool traditional joinery, half hand tool and half power. Probably watched his whole catalog by now

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Chris ia amazing!! I think you'll enjoy this episode!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank you for the kind words and love my friend!

[@robhaggard4766]

Once again Eric, you’ve given all of us another fantastic interview. As a woodworker myself, this was not only informative, but enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work!!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you Rob! Man, I've been diving head first into woodworking!

[@maximus3974]

These visits of yours to craftsman are eye opening, heart warming and creates a sense of inner peace, thanks for sharing these episodes with us.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@morganhurst_redridge]

Chris is by far my biggest inspiration, I think the only reason I have a collection of hand tools is because of watching his videos. Really love the point about showing off the joinery and letting the subtle design features speak for themselves.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Chris is a great guy and truly talented! Inspired me too!

[@betsysoma2917]

So glad your back on you make all of my family happy. And I have a big family. Haha 20 grandkids !!!!

Enjoyed the video Eric. I'm a new subscriber and I'm thoroughly enjoying your videos. Thanks for taking the time to produce them. You take care and God bless.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Awesome, thank you! God Bless

[@monteengel461]

Just watched this (May 5, 2022). I built.a trestle table, 30”x84” in red oak (the hardwood dealer did not have white oak) in 2018. The table used the techniques. It was a stretch for me, but was great to finish.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

That's fantastic! Congrats

Wow! Great episode. I think I’m gonna get some Japanese hand tools. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thanks for the love man! You will enjoy using them. Visit Woodcraft and get hooked up.

Thanks 👍

Hello Eric, loved this episode and glad to see the new season underway. Was that a little Cody Jinks during the final assembly?

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you! Not Cody Jinks, similar sound though.

What a wonderful episode! Great atmosphere between you two, a cozy workshop and Chris seems to be a great, relaxed teacher! All the best from an aspiring woodworker in Germany, I will follow your path to see where you will take us

@chris what book on japanese joinery would you recommend?

I can't answer for Chris but you might want to check out The Art of Japanese Joinery.

[@makenchips]

Eric, another great episode! There's so much on KZbin about Japanese woodworking and yes there joinery and woodworking techniques are awesome. Looking forward to more your videos. Your local fan! Steven Columbus Michigan

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you Steven! I've really enjoyed learning more about Japanese woodworking tools.

[@boblasley5640]

Great episode! Nice to see two of my favorite craftsmen working together, though I think you should've had cameo appearances from Utz and Buddy. All the best to both of you!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Utz and Buddy both had ridiculous contracts! Thank you for the kind words, Bob

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thanks for letting us know

[@ericarmstrong264]

What was that tool?? I'm a big fan of hand tools. I finally resorted to power tools to get ANY kind of accuracy, but I admire the heck out of anyone who can get such great results with hand tools. (And I still use some of those techniques, even with power tools!) And I'm also a fan of Japanese joinery and old-time timber joinery, so I loved this episode. Anyway... At 17:15 you begin relieving the edge of a board with a tool I've never seen before. At first, I thought it was a cabinet scraper held to a block of wood with finger pressure. But between 17:17 and 17:18 there's a great picture of the bottom of the tool. It looks like a long sheet of metal with several large holes, and a curved end that comes up just short of the wooden block. What the heck is that tool?? :__) And of, course, another great job...

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

That’s just a block of wood with some sand paper on the bottom 😁

[@ericarmstrong264]

@@ThirdCoastCraftsman Hah! Fooled me! Sure looked like a metal plate. But I get it: A sheet of orbital sander paper. That explains the holes and the curved edge. Thanks! :___)

[@devonthai1049]

I woodwork I don't use as many handtools as you do, as the wood tech I've accomplished has been majority by using machines. The way you craft aswell, using interlocks to ensure your crafts stick together without using as much glue as I do.

[@egglyph]

Beautiful craftsmanship, outstanding product vision, but there's nothing Japanese or Japanese inspired about the pieces. In fact, they are rather in the early English Country style - times before mortise and tenon have been perfected.

[@FAMAWoodworking]

Amazing!!! It's a great life history. Congrats!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you

[@bryaneaton9361]

What another great episode, Eric. There's a cool, calm, easy, and interesting manner (I can't pick just one adjective!) in how you interview. Thanks for the great "edutainment".

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Wow, thanks!

[@ericguillot6402]

It has become my mission, to try and build proper hand tool skills. I've done carpentry on and off since my early teen years. The progression has always been more modern tools and methods if building things. I run a big cnc in a cabinet/furniture shop. With it I can recreate just about anything with 3 dimensional perfection. But it lacks the soul of something crafted with hand tools, by a true craftsman. It's a strange juxtaposition how we live in the information age, but have managed to lose the knowledge these craftsmen built over lifetimes. The kind of knowledge that took so many generations, adding the pieces they discovered. That progression of learning from your father, what he learned from his father, and so on. I think its a beautiful thing. Amd a shame that it is almost extinct.

[@billsutherland2128]

Yep, now that I’ve discovered them I’m watching the videos, one a day. You’d better hurry and make more videos cuz I’ll have watched them all in a short time. Yuck, yuck. Of course I’ll watch them all many times because they’re both relaxing and inspirational to watch. Take care.
