Like everything else I’ve ever read or seen from Chris Schwarz, this is chock full of practical advice and tricks, combined with a good bit of useful history. This video reviews some of the techniques used in ‘Course Medium and Fine’, but often takes the details a step or 2 deeper. Also, they differ in that this video generally assumes you begin with a board that’s been machine planed, and needs finishing. This video also covers the block plane extensively.
Sharpening, spring joints, edge surfacing and other “immediate” topics are covered. Providing a table of contents seems like a waste of time. Instead, I will add a link to the video itself:
Building Furniture with Hand Planes
Overall, equal to the standards set by his other videos, making it a 5-star.

Seriously, good review. This will definitely be on my “To Buy” list.
