what a wonderful presentation you did with all of this, i enjoyed it so much, and it opened my eyes and thoughts as to how and why wood workers have different tools, do things in different ways, and i felt the wonderful spirit from it all…..sorry you pulled the video, seeing the Japanese Kimono was a real treat, and you looked very nice in it i thought…thanks so much mads,

Nice to see Shave made the move with you Mads. I like his hairstyle. Has anyone tripped over your toolbox yet? If my wife was there, she definitely would. Lol.

Nice, To all life a little smile must go.

A well organized kit Mads, and of course I like the bucket displayed with it very much. I spent quite a lot of time in Japan while in the Navy from 1957/1961 and I do greatly appreciate the Japanese aesthetic and the elegant simplicity of their culture. This elegance and simplicity seems to be present in every part of Japanese life including woodworking. Your blogs bring back a lot of very pleasant memories to me as does the bucket also. So many thanks for this blog series.

Mads, I appreciate your work here. I really like the pine and clear finishes. Over time it will mellow out nicely. Seems as if you are making the best of your situation right now.

Best thoughts and wishes from Florida!

how wonderful. you also have great lighting where you are at… that is such a benefit over a dark basement/garage. much more pleasing to work that way

Great stuff Mads.
Thanks for taking the time to put all that together.

Hey Mads,

Clear pine finish and white walls, your living room looks really ZEN. Once again, thanks for sharing.

Best,
