For the life of me I do not know where you've gotten all your skills. I did a lot of carpenter work and used to repair old barns in the Mississippi River Valley that were all pegged together w.o. any nails what-so-lever. I was able to do a lot of what you do but I was totally self-taught and would have loved to have a master who could teach me many of the techniques you use. I enjoy every minute of seeing you work. I'm too old now to be doing what you do and am racked with arthritis, so I have to "live thru you" these days. Good work!

Only came across your channel couple months ago & totally hooked. My father was a chief ship Wright in the Royal Navy and he rarely used power tools in home projects. Watching you use woodwork in its purest form highlights how much project construction these days uses biscuits , glowing & screwing rather than proper joinery methods. Keep up the good work

very interesting joint. love the wedge pins to draw the beams into the final position. Notice you did not force them but listen to the ring of the timber to tell you to stop! Very interesting how just one pin each will how the timbers together! I would think for a beam that big the pins would have to be 1 inch at least! I really like wedges and the work they can do. I find it interesting you have a traditional bench and not a Japanese planning beam instead since that is what you do most and you practice Asian timber farming practices. Great Channel.
