I’ve been a furniture maker for over 60 years. I’ve always considered myself a craftsman. You, sir, are a true craftsman. I feel like a piker.

This is what I consider an artist at work,excellent!.

When I first read the word "Maestro" I had my doubts. It didn't take long to dispell that doubt. This is simply a beautiful follow-up to Sam Maloof's Rocking Chair. I am blown away. My own fourty years of cabinet and restoration work have made me hard to please, but here we are in a true Master's workshop. A joy to watch. Warm greetings from France.

This video is well done in so many respects: in content, in craftsmanship, in visual aesthetics, in pace, in videography,… 🧡 The mirrors for rake and splay: fascinating! I need to know more. My intention is to build a Windsor once I’ve finished my shave horse. This video is both inspiration and clarity. I will watch it again and again. Extraordinary. Thank you.

That drawknife looks insanely sharp, it must be wonderful to work with. Nice work!

I'm a metal fabricator, the use of such modern tech to make a timeless classic may be frowned upon. You have Only to look at skills and the ultimate outcomes to see true skill regardless of the tools.

This is a true work of art, often on youtube you expect to see even professionals cut corners, but this video was just perfect, in terms of every fine detail, hats off!
