Make An LED Backlit Cross with Hand Cut Mitered Bridle Joinery | Woodworking | How To |

[@__seeker__]

Amazing work dude. I’m sure your family and other older parishioners were proud to see the man they once knew as a boy in that church create something of beauty and lasting value for it.

[@logiboy123]

Best part of the video was at 7:41 where you start planing away, revealing the patterns in the wood. Excellently done, amazing shot.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much Paul!

[@mgt00656]

Man is a great wood worker, PERIOD! Very nice to make for the church, the most important place there is.

[@jgbcodemonkey]

Wow, what a great project! This would be a great addition to our church's new building. Will bookmark this one to possibly build in the future!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Great work, Chris! That mitered bridle joint is sweet. I’m sure the church loves it.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks bud, the church was really happy. Its was super special to be able to do this.

[@brian454454]

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

I like that, Thats awesome to hear! Yea for me its not always about hurry up and get the project done. I enjoy the process and REALLY enjoy the reward I feel from using hand tools.

LEDs are the best! haha

[@arthurcamargo3430]

[@micdiva]

I cant say enough how simple but yet how complex this piece is. You do amazing work and this piece came out great. I loved how you chamfered the joints to make them stand out

[@albertotenorio6754]

[@alanplummer]

Awesome work once again, Chris! It's great to see how you always bring hand tools into your work. Also nice to see how smooth and easy good sharp edged planes and chisels glide through white oak. Excellent video. Keep them coming! Great timing just before Easter!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks Alan. Its definitely a joy working with well sharpened tools. Yes, I was trying to get this done in time for Easter

Awesome craftsmanship lovely to watch that joint come together. The bevelling on the joint really makes it pop, brilliant accent. Really dig Utz what a beautifull animal, hope you have trained him to tidy the shop for you. Cheers from Port Elizabeth South Africa.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Wow Chris love the project. The video was put together really well. You’re a talented man on the tools and behind the lens.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks Riaan! Im trying to get a little better each time. I think the music was still a little loud but that is something to work on for next time. :)

[@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions]

NIce Sawstop! I am trying to sell mine currently to upgrade to a felder. After watching this, I think I need to get my router plane finished.

[@selectdelgado]

Nice work. Suggestion: a video on how you made that router plane.

[@GabrieleBonetti]

Beautiful work. Love the silence and hearing the sound of tools.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Yea I try to keep the music subtle (it was still a little loud on this video) and I also like to leave some silent gaps in there too.

[@oscartran170]

I love it man

[@sirmixalot135678]

Your video work as well as your woodworking is phenomenal!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much steven!

[@Myrkskog]

Cool project.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks man

[@Myrkskog]

[@afidram]

Nice job, bud - glad to see you got a new TS. That old one was screaming!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

[@SPUDMACKER]

A Brilliant Project!!! Well done Mate!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks Kevin. It was quite the honor to build this

[@woodstory1771]

Woww Amazing..

[@scottstennes6983]

As a little boy I marveled at the beautifully crafted cross that was the focal point in the church. I always wondered who made it, and did God touch their hearts such that they made it perfectly beautiful. Now some small child can marvel at the beautiful symbol of Gods love for us at your church. Beautiful job.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank you so much for this comment Scott! That is really cool and I do hope our little church is around in another 100 years and people enjoy the cross the whole time. Its very special to be able to build something like this for the church that helped raise me.

[@JackmeriusTacktheritrix-000]

I'm late to the party but, excellent work my man! Great project!

[@PJGalati]

Nice work! I think I finally understand what a router plane is for! The way you used it made sense. Great finishing on the whole thing.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

I am glad I was able to shine some light on it. Its a great tool, you should get one

[@vsem.beregam]

Слежу за твоими работами, молодец, стараешься👍
