Great video. It's amazing how things that seem so simple can actually have a lot of depth. Learned several things in this video. Keep it up!

You did good today. Was about to glue up some bunk bed cleats to the rails and had never checked if the growth rings ran opposite. Thank you.

In Queen Victoria's time, apprenticeship indenture papers covered learning the "art, craft and mysteries" of the trade. This show brings us to the beginning of "the mysteries". Short, sharp, to the point, and comprehensive. As an Australian, I find your British approach far more enjoyable and understandable than the American way of instruction. Keep up the good work. View halloo! Tally ho! And all the best for Christmas and the New Year.

Camera on the plane is very cool idea. I like your technique how you pull the shaving with your thumb and index finger. Looks efficient

6:47 For the record, the "parallel" arrangement of growth rings is what C.Schwarz recommends in his "Anarchist's Workbench". (There is wrong photo printed in the book, but you can find Chris' blog note with the correct one).

Thanks for the tips. BTW, I loved the shot with the camera attached o the plane. Brilliant.

A link to this video would be a great addition to the bench building courses. Rewatching this as I'm preparing for my, hopefully soon to be, English workbench. Wish I could like a video twice.

Redwood in America is a different species from Redwood in Britain and Europe. In America it is very expensive and can be hard to find, it is also a slow growing species.

Go to be careful with common names of woods when one crosses the oceans. European who named the "New World" trees loved to just use the same names as old world trees even if they are not at all similar (some even being hardwoods vs softwoods!). Apparently this is really bad in Australia. The European vs America redwoods and cedars are good examples of this.

If you were stacking more than two pieces together, how would you deal with the growth rings?

I found this at a good time. I plan to laminate some maple for a guitar neck.

I was with you right up until you used a stapler on the end grain joint. Sorry mate.
