I've seen the videos before...just my mandarin sucks, and I find him very loud. :P

Hmm, turn the sound off, and just read the English closed captions, like I do.

He starts his swing, even before the mortise chisel is in place....and never misses...try that, sometime.

I might, someday, build that marking gauge he uses....has four settings he can use.

But that's half the fun?
Besides, I need to work on my mandarin.

The guy's work on the folding bench is particularly impressive.
Sheeesh!
