The Best Possible Woodworking Future

[@bretttodd901]

Mike pausing to admire the thin plane shaving is when I lost it. Great stuff!

[@williammartin5415]

Terrific! I thought the VR gossamer wood shavings was funny until I saw the treadle lathe. Credit to the "straight man" for not cracking up.

[@scottbrodersen6819]

The most appropriate use of flannel shirts I have yet seen. Well played,, sirs.

[@claybowser698]

You just perfectly described crafting a house in Skyrim! Also reminds me of using a CNC and then saying you carved something.

“Hand-made, because I had to click ‘Enter’ with my own hand.” 😅

[@MatthewRMacKinnon]

Hand forged AND expensive? Obviously only this will do!!! I’ll take it. Thanks guys, loved this!!!

[@zacbrown935]

This is so good!! Laughed from start to finish!!

[@peterellis4262]

[@hmathewsk28]

How did Joshua keep a straight face. That was perhaps the funniest part until the lathe. Great video!!

[@williamrypka4757]

So glad those goggles are "Artisanal"

[@ikust007]

Oh mates !! What a blast it must have been !

[@charlestrella711]

Brilliant! I am searching the M&T shop but having trouble finding the goggles. When will they be listed??? 😁👊

[@gregorymosher5008]

Working the lathe at the end killed me 😂

[@johngriswold2213]

Wonder how much my chickens are going to love laying eggs on digital shavings in their laying boxes? ;)

[@scottbennington2936]

Hard times create hard men. Hard men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times....and/or IKEA. Appreciate your guy's dedication to the trade. I have learned much about hand tools and craftsmenship from your channel.

[@MatthewBuntyn]

The lathe was perfect

[@makenchips]

Once I caught on, you two guys made me LOL, once I saw your custom goggles! Great idea and well excuted, like your printed work! The Meta space will be the perfect minimalist workshop, allowing you to finish your work virtually anywhere! I ca n even finish the carving of the bear claw legs on the way to the store! I hope to some day get a chance to met you both personally! Love the work you are doing, you guys are in a class by yourself! Steven Columbus Michigan

[@woodreaux]

Are the VR goggles required for the M&T virtual apprenticeship🤔???

[@breathestrongcycling3672]

Ethically sourced and incredibly expensive...😆😆....

[@drewk3402]

You never mentioned how much this unbelievable advancement will cost? I'm ready to buy!!😂

[@antoinemaussion]

Was at the bench carving oak for more than an hour. Searching youtube for a much needed break, I found you guys... 🤣🤣🤣 Just can't stop laughing !! Thanx so much guys !! That's a good one.

[@pathdoc60]

Josh and Mike, I really would like some of that special “honey” you had in your coffee this morning. ;-). I do like your lighthearted and “punny” approach. Entertaining. Cheers, Michael

[@MCsCreations]

Well... I'd rather use FPV goggles... And fly a rc airplane or a quadcopter... OR do woodworking! 😂 Anyway, stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊

When I see things that were obviously made with a CNC, 3D printer or other robotool. I can appreciate the creativity of the design, but I don’t value it as much as I would if it was made with at least some manual craftsmanship. I want to make things with my own hands as much as possible. I work at a computer all day. So I don’t want to spend even more time sitting there programming a CNC only to do the assembly and finishing myself. I might as well just buy it from IKEA at that point. Is the next step in woodworking just designing the piece and uploading it to a website that then gets it built in a factory in China and delivered to my door in a few weeks? “Hey Honey, the wine cabinet I built for you arrived today!” I’m not saying that technology doesn’t have a place in professional woodworking. In fact, it’s probably necessary to make any money at it. But as a hobbyist, I’m drawn to exploring what I can make with my own hands as much as possible. Although I have to admit I didn’t start out that way. When I decided I wanted to start woodworking, my focus was on what machines I needed to buy. I bought a track saw and a router pretty quickly. Next on my listed was a planer. But then I realized that dust collection was going to be a problem. And I began to worry about how annoying the noise of the machines would be to my family and neighbors. So then I would need to do something to reduce the sound escaping from my garage. Then my daughter got engaged and I realized that I can’t afford all that. (I really couldn’t before then, but I had the fever for the dream.) Then I found the M&T podcast and listening to their mellow music and voices talk about hand tool woodworking was peaceful and relaxing. So I decided to attempt to restore some rusty old bench planes my Stepfather gave me. The jack plane is still not good. I had some success with the Stanley Bailey #6 though. It was fun to slice off nice wispy shavings without annoying noise. I didn’t get saw dust in my eyes and I was surprised how smooth the surface of the wood was. I think it will be more fun, less stressful and cheaper. It might take longer to finish each project, but I’m not trying to sell anything so it doesn’t matter.

[@davidmeaney7329]

Hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha Where did I put that spokeshave again? I love it. Back to work

[@whittysworkshop982]
