Thanks, Mark!!

Great… Thanks Mark! Was wondering how things had been going since the move.

Just and FYI, this was actually filmed over a year ago. It was originally a project for Finewoodworking.com. After a certain amount of time I had the option to release it for free, so that’s what is happening now. So that’s still the old shop. The new “temporary” shop is still being put together and is almost functional. Electrician is coming out next week.

I would like to personaly thank you for your free videos. You make the projects look so much easier than I would expect them to be. I have the plans for the steamer trunk and the collecting of the wood has been started. Without your videos I would never have even attempted a project like that.

Thanks
Terry

cool…

Mark thanks for posting, I enjoy all your videos. My last project was your end grain cutting board. Its pretty cool how you showed your dado mistake and how to fix it. For me, and the amount of mistakes I make ( which is alot ) this is also good information :) thanks again…. Ron

Great piece of furniture and a good idea to show how a nice piece of furniture can be built with a limited amount of tools.
Thanks for a great post.

Hey

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Thanks for posting the video, Marc. As always I find your tutorials to be straight-forward and readily followed. Like most visual learners this type of approach to teaching woodworking has helped me better understand techniques and process that hone and develop my skills.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Hi Mark,

First off, I am a fan—but you might think about pushing that thing all the way up against the wall—it will stop any ventilation out of the slots you have in the rear.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the video Marc.

I’ve been curious about how the wood whisper thing works? Do you hear it like a whisper or do you hear it in your mind telepathically?

I don’t think I want to hear the wood talk to me. With the projects I do, I think the wood would be cursing.

You cut me to short, jackass!

Dang, now I’m crooked!

What the heck am I supposed to be now??

All kidding aside, you build some great projects and help teach a lot!

Keep up the good work.

thewoodwhisperer,
Excellent video as always. Your contributions to Lumberjocks is very much appreciated by all the visitors such as myslef, I’m sure. The rudimentary use of tools and achieving the desired results are exemplified very well. While my thanks are of no monetary benifit to you, I do hope that in some way you can realize a true since of achievment, from all the time and work that went into providing us with this video. Thanks again.

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

Enjoyed the video. I am looking forward to seeing your new shop up and running.

Hello Marc,

These types of step by step videos of yours give me the confidence to try it on my own. I always find your video’s very informative and entertaining.

One question is what kind of plywood are you using? When you chiseled the dado, it looked like solid wood instead of layered plywood.

Thanks for sharing (and teaching).

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. Hope your Labor Day weekend was fun and relaxing.

David, the plywood I used was actually MDF core. Certainly not my first choice when it comes to sheet goods. But at the time I was under a time crunch and it was the only thing my supplier had with a walnut veneer. It does look like solid wood in the video though.
