Stunning Workshop of Wood Carver & 18th Century Furniture Maker Wm. Brown

[@ronmack1767]

Thoroughly enjoyed the video Joshua. He is a very talented Craftsman. His work is superior. Looking forward to seeing the next video when you tour upstairs. Thanks for taking the time to produce the videos. Y'all take care and God bless.

[@WoodAndShop]

Thanks for the kind words Ron

[@ianmcginnis1570]

I love how this guy has one of the highest paying jobs in the United States, yet he saves things that you and I would think was trash. Another reason the rich stay that way. Kudos to this man.

[@tombaker3794]

Scrapers from old keys, that's a really interesting concept that I believe I'll try out. Always looking for tips and tricks inland tool woodworking, and this is a great resource.

[@r22jeff]

What an enjoyable 41 minute tour of your shop and no complaints of the camera man from me!

[@WoodAndShop]

Thanks so much!

[@markharrisllb]

I really like the integrity of his workshop, everything has a reason and he doesn’t just throw money at his craft. He could have the best quality of every modern tool, but instead he hones his craft and only buys what he needs (I must try harder with that). Then in his spare time he saves and maintains lives.

[@WoodAndShop]

Yup, definitely not a poser!

[@ndrwcarter4]

Often times modern tools will not make an antique appear period correct (something my father has taught me) every detail is important when working with museum grade pieces!

[@Ariovistvs]

Dear God, the skill and productivity of that man is just jawdropping.

[@Canimakeit603]

Dumpster diving doctor. I love this! Old tools are so cool. But it's really cool that he's using old hotel keycards and cheap wrenches to make such amazing pieces.

[@mg3142]

Mr. Brown is a man on a mission. I deeply admire his commitment and drive. What skill and sense of craft. Thank you much for posting this shop tour. Attending one of his classes is out of my capacity, but this video is about the next best thing.

[@kan-zee]

I work at a No Kill Pet Shelter, and love all Wood working , wood carving, whittling, relief carving, skills... Thank you for sharing your passion with us. Cheers from Canada.

[@scoobydog411]

This guy is First Class all the way. Over 100 years ago ALL furniture was made this way. Now its all partial board trash. GREAT VIDEO SIR…..

[@michaelwelsh798]

I bought a full set of those Preppin Weapon sanding blocks as soon as I saw them. What a great idea!

[@basqanor9373]

Wait for me 5 years to build myself I will come and buy from you please don't stop keep go keep going

[@trevorstone3056]

What a craftsman - really enjoyed this.

[@hdwoodshop]

Simply amazing. I’ve heard of physicians being furniture makers. Amazed by Dr Browns skills. Thank you for sharing his shop.

[@WoodAndShop]

Yeah, and he's also an amazing guitar player. I'm really not sure how he has time to do everything!

[@dianeadams9537]

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

[@alansimpson596]

This is probably the most interesting woodworking video I've seen on KZbin. I'm now in retirement and furniture - making and turning are my main hobbies. I'm making furniture for my own use as, if I'm lucky enough, I may have to move into an apartment in years to come so I'm making items that I can enjoy looking at and remembering. I look forward to some instructional videos from William.

[@WoodAndShop]

Wow, what an honor...thanks Alan!

[@stevenfernandez4787]

nice shop doc.. im a retired anesthesiologist. dont miss it much but I do miss medicine in general. anyway I started woodworking a year ago and love it. we have some things in common. take care.

[@reemsuekar8112]

Thank you. You remind me of a loved one.

[@byronbyron864]

Thank you for sharing your shop . 👍 And your Wonderfull Talent God Bless

[@arthurgran731]

Thoroughly enjoyed. Enjoy seeing other artisans/craftsman share their passion. Can hear the excitement in your voice. Thank you!

[@WoodAndShop]

So glad you enjoyed it Arthur!

[@billfinn4030]

Dry humor and interesting, thanks for the tour of your shop, the grinding and honing area is great!

[@andrewmccarthy9839]

There are so many tips/tricks/hacks in the first 7:39 seconds of this video that would take so long to find elsewhere that I had to pause and comment. Thank you for the work you do for the woodworking community!

[@WoodAndShop]

Glad you liked it Andrew!

[@petewollman550]

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate your attention to detail, nice work. 😊

[@hmichaelpower]

Just had my modest woodworking ambitions put into perspective ! I was so enthralled by the shop, work, and working methods that i never noticed the camera work.

[@WoodAndShop]

Oh good. It was a little shaky for one scene. Thanks for watching!

[@jonhandel8159]

This could have been a 5-hour video and he wouldn't have had enough time to come back to all he wanted to. He is on a whole other level of artistry, one most of us can only dream of.

[@OEF_Vet_0331]

Just learned something new. What a great idea for the credit cards to protect the wood when cutting dowels!

[@duanewilliams7676]

A true master!!!

[@LilyBlue-m2w]

Very nice works

[@Lisa-gs9ke]

Beautiful work.

[@WoodAndShop]

Glad you liked it Lisa 😊

[@paulrosebrock]

Wonderful!

[@billy2807]

"This bench has all the little knickknacks I need..." (zoom in on $300 plane) Great video! Awesome shop.

[@smitmachinale8281]

Beautiful, thank you for showing the work of a true craftsman.

[@WoodAndShop]

You're most welcome!

[@petermarsh4993]

Dear Sir, I was blown away by the well laid out compact workshop, the extensive use of hand tools and the magnificent end results. Today you just skimmed the surface and whet all your audience’s appetites. What I would hope for in the future is for a breakdown of individual steps such as creating inlays, making curved panels, producing the barber pole light / dark inlay strips and carving etc. Each process could be a separate concise video. This would make a brilliant series. Cheers and thanks a million for sharing your craft.

[@WoodAndShop]

We'll see what we can do Peter!

[@oldcolonypiper4162]

Excellent!

[@matthewlee131]

Thanks for showing me here what i should have, if i can set up a workshop. Great video and you definitely are a master craftsman!

[@Дмитрий-х6р9м]

Great master and furniture! Above the shop feeling the wide soul of it's master! Greetings from Russian craftsmans!

[@WoodAndShop]

Thanks for joining us from Russia!

[@scottmedori1437]

Amazingly talented gentleman, and in so many disciplines. Looking forward to seeing more from you sir.

[@WoodAndShop]

Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss the next video!

[@robertf6344]

Very enjoyable and well presented.

[@nickdarbenzio3073]

Great video! I’m an optometrist and love woodworking also. Lots of great ideas you’ve given. Thanks.

[@davidryle1164]

The roller blade reuse had me smiling. Superb craftsmanship, and a really informative site. Well done!!

[@WoodAndShop]

Yeah, very cool!

[@chrismoody1342]

The chest of drawers @ :40 is to die for. Simple but extremely elegant. You Sir are doing just what I want to do in my retirement; it’s just 3 year away. I’ve got a few pieces I’ve done through the years. I’m have not tried my hand at carving, but I do have a pretty good eye for and pretty decent sense of want needs to be done. Inlays, I don’t know if I would ever have the patience. I love the federal period of furniture making. I’ve subscribed to your channel and look forward to learning anything I can.

[@WoodAndShop]

Glad you liked it!

[@JohnMartinez-sm1sk]

Nice organized shop, great furniture pieces, very talented

[@WoodAndShop]

Fascinating! I would love to see moreof the work you do

[@Kunfucious577]

@@WoodAndShop thanks.

[@TheIozl]

The tour was great - I'm jealous of how much he saves. However, a technique video would be even better - here's hoping for one in the future.

[@WoodAndShop]

Yup, we've got some coming

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

Your need a tool make a tool ideas are awsome. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@przybyla420]

Thanks for the tour (and tips). I enjoyed seeing inside the shop of a “master” who is also thrifty. Is that fiberglass insulation in the ceiling? If so seal that stuff up, it shouldn’t be exposed in a room that’s lived or worked in a lot.

[@Бронсон-ы6п]

Master !!!

[@JF-fx2qv]

Nice work.

[@WoodAndShop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@missionron]

this man deserves to treat himself to a Malilla Workbench (traditional Swedish woodworking bench) He would be amazed by its versatility and useability. Please man, do it!

[@jasonsocquet8555]

Wow, amazing craftsmanship! I really like his ingenious mindset for inexpensive solutions he comes up with, like the electrical boxes used as corner clamps.

[@woodtechindia]

Really awesome workshop, being a wood worker I really liked it a lot. Thanks for this amazing tour . Can you guide me also to prepare my workshop?

[@The78bluedevils]

A great presentation, nicely done.

[@WoodAndShop]

Glad you liked it!

[@richardcary5751]

Great video. Quite an amazing wood-worker!

[@WoodAndShop]

Thanks!

[@Selandry1]

Wow wow wow! Watched it in it’s entirety and am blown away by your skill and your body of work. Just added about 400 new must have hand tools to my list. One question - how do you find the time to balance all that woodworking with family and a your career? I’m an ER doc and my wife complains about how much time I spend in the shop and don’t have much to show for it relative to what you have achieved. What’s your secret?

[@WilliamBrownGuitar]

I work a FTE-plus in 10 -12 days! On call every night. Not easy, but I value the time off so much I'm still doing it.

[@TheBenjammin]

Get divorced...you'll have tons of free time and money.

[@brycevalencia5529]

Do you guys get keys in the mail?😂 beautiful wood work.

[@bamboocraftsman3986]

Amazing skill bro, you are very talented congrats

[@joeldoxtator9804]

18:19 The pure emotion this piece elicited was incredible! I felt my heart jump when I saw this chest!

[@woodworkerroyer8497]

Wow! That work is amazing! Fitting that an anesthesiologist has an apothecary chest..... Some REALLY wonderful ideas for recycling or saving stuff for tools and jigs around the shop. Especially the junction boxes as squares 😲

[@WoodAndShop]

Glad you liked it!

[@hepburnwilsonsr.2025]

Thanks for the tour. I found it very enjoyable and encouraging.

[@WoodAndShop]

You're most welcome

Your work is absolutely amazing.

I greatly enjoyed this video and learned a lot! William Brown does amazing work!

Glad you liked it, and yes he certainly does amazing work!

[@joenadeau4419]

Awesome.......thanks for sharing your story.

[@WoodAndShop]

Glad you liked it Joe

[@AndreaArzensek]

Now to upstairs! Great craftsman and the shop is nice too.

[@WoodAndShop]

Stay tuned!

[@Specialized61]

Beautiful work!

[@WoodAndShop]

Glad you liked it!

[@solidsnake9332]

I love his awkward nature. Reminds me of me. Very interesting person who i enjoy watching to pick my hopes up in todays machinist and onwards. . .

[@WilliamBrownGuitar]

Hah, it was very hard to be in front of a camera. Took forever for Josh to talk me into it. I'm the original introvert. Happiest when I'm alone in my shop :)

[@jamesdefrange]

Omg! Please post the next video!!!

[@WoodAndShop]

Did you see the next video?

[@jaydallas9895]

Great video. Very interesting shop and scope of work

[@WoodAndShop]

Glad you liked it Jason!

[@jamesrussell2601]

Great video. I look forward to seeing more of your work and your woodworking processes.

[@WoodAndShop]

Glad you liked it James!

[@richardgarrow9260]

OMG this was great, such a talented Craftsman, I hope you will do some follow up video's. I would love to see some of inlay work and carving work. Not enough hours in a day to absorb all this information, I also wish I was about 40 years younger.. LOL

[@07roadking43]

Amazing work !!! Love the video !!!!

[@bynon1971]

Great insight into the working process thanks! One question, I couldn't make out what the clamp grips were from, I couldn't find them on ebay, could you let me know?

[@nigelknight1435]

Very nice work that you produce in your shop, if I was to nitpick, your slotted screws should all run parallel with the knuckle of the hinge, wax will help this when using brass screws

[@prakkari]

A small CNC would be helpful since he is concerned about doing delicate work faster. Easy to use. Just a simple software like Sketchup will do for drawing. Easy to learn.

[@Anonymous-fv4dp]

We saw your gold gilt eagles. Where do you get your 24 kt gold gilt layers? Am just starting gilding and see several companies who sell it. Mixed reviews including some brands are too thin for easy gilding

[@marypreddy547]

Please tell me do you know what years they made dressers with wood wheels I have old dresser I like to know how old

[@stefanbiorserud3343]

Stunning! Just one question though.. When do you sleep? 😅

[@Grunt49]

Awesome

[@WoodAndShop]

Thanks!

[@sezendiken4580]

How do wood table slides work?

[@canedobrazil3209]

like from Brazil

[@scottmckee1952]

Can you be more specific regarding the laryngoscope handles that you have on your clamp? I couldn't fond anything similar on ebay.

[@WoodAndShop]

Neither could I.

[@WilliamBrownGuitar]

Scott, I've had these for over 20 years and may have been mistaken about Ebay. Could have been hospital discards even. Contact me and I will send you some.

[@kingofcastlechaos]

Nice shop. Good call on moving the Cruz poster, hopefully to the trash where it belongs. (I'm a native Texan and he embarrasses us constantly)

[@GrahamOrm]

Given your primary profession I would say that your work is breathtaking. Have you looked at Grindling Gibbons on KZbin an 18th century Carver whose work is also staggering?

[@PC-vx6ko]

You tube should have a "show and tell" category

[@WoodAndShop]

Great idea!

[@verojonesbrown]

Where does Dr. William Brown source the hardware he uses to make his pieces?

[@roscocsa]

I think this might be the first time I've ever encountered someone with the same name as me. And into woodworking too.

[@WoodAndShop]

It must be meant to be!

[@abbbee8918]

Why would you have exposed fibreglass in the ceiling?

[@gilbertgortrub7568]

This guy looks and sounds like Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad ! XD Awesome work though !

[@kentgray2220]

Yellow Glue?

[@TheBenjammin]

I spend way more money on gadgets and tools that I really don't need, and my work is no where near this level. Puts things into perspective. I don't really need all the crap I think I do.

[@chrismalcomson7640]

To do any job you need the right tools. More importantly you need to learn what tools you need, this can only be done through experience. Some tools I use have been upgraded several times as my skill using them has superceeded there function. The idea you can spent 50 grand setting up a perfect workshop with all the latest equipment and make top quality furniture like William here, is not realistic.. Its all about experimentation and problem solving. Also my guess is all the furniture in this guys house are prototypes because the lessons you've learned with the first one make the second and third so much better and your confidence in them is so much greater, especially if your selling them..

[@Orxenhorf]

They don't use the standard hole pattern that everyone else follows... another reason to despise Festool.

[@WoodAndShop]

Yeah, kind of frustrating

[@solidsnake9332]

Not a fan of a festool. I like quality products but not those who appear to be the holy grail

[@hughcalder6156]

the inverted box paterns = ‘Boulle‘ and counter Boulle..

[@WilliamBrownGuitar]

BTW, the carving tools I now use are made by Schaaf, a new company that makes really great quality for a very good price: amzn.to/2DRIfx9 Apologies for my almost absent voice in the video - I was in the middle of a nasty cold :( ---Bill www.MaineCoastWorkshop.com

[@c.e.schlink9933]

Wow! Everything one needs. I would not like the low ceiling tho. But really great otherwise.

[@WoodAndShop]

Yeah, it's a great shop
