Mark, this was a great interview. Chris is such a great CRAFTSMAN, calm, collective and very dedicated to his craft and his writing. Really enjoyed this, Thank you!! Hand tools are so great! True Craftsmen make wood come to life with these. I love building furniture for my family especially for my Grandchildren. Thank you I love to listen to true craftsmen as yourself, Chris, David Marks, Norm and soooo many other.
great video, nice to "meet" Chris Schwartz and see his humble and awesome woodshop. Shows us we dont need a huge expanse to work in a efficiant way. I am very much like Chris in that i do alot of handtool work along with breaking down tool, ie tablesaw, bandsaw,jointer planer. Thank you for this video!
i love my hand planes. they r the nicest shop decorations down there. i had big dreams of using my various planes. i have never figured out how to effectively tune my stanley #5. i actually use my block plane occasionally. hopeful that one day i will find better use for hand tools. also, for some reason i had the idea that Chris never had to buy a tool. every tool manufacturer giving him gear, although occasionally having to purchase lumber.
I hear ya. I just compared it to your recent interview with Jack Bench woodworking -- you've come a long way in that it doesn't look like you get nervous with eye contact anymore. I've been a huge fan since I 2012. I hope I didn't come off as insulting -- I'm the same way w/ eye contact... it really depends on the person. Even in this video, at about the 5min mark, you find your footing and seem much more confident. Very premature comment on my part -- apologies!

Wow that's a much smaller shop than I expected. I guess I've just lost my favourite excuse!

Ah, good - I was just about to check my speaker wires.

marc! you look so young nervous! Chris gets no eye contact from you while you speak at all. just a little baby Marc, plying his craft.
Ya think? I really wasn't nervous though. That's kinda how I talk to people. I generally get uncomfortable with too much eye contact.
