I usually don't comment but there's something to be said about how beautiful his work is, the presentation in the video, and the ambiance it creates. So extremely underrated
Like watching someone from 150 years ago ply their expertise, calm working environment and dedicated skill. I look forward to every video he posts, just as a relaxation tool!
Though the beauty of that table is astonishing, my favorite part of the whole video is that not one power tool was used. I love that the old ways are being preserved. Please keep it up!
Mr. C is back. Outstanding craftmanship as always. The grain on that wood was absolutely beautiful. Congratulations to Mrs. C for the cinematography as well. A key part on these videos. Cheers.
You are THE best woodworker on TH-cam, and I watch hundreds. Your attention to detail is extraordinary. Please keep posting videos and thanks for sharing.
It’s very nice to see someone actually create something with their own hands and som hand tools instead of all these cnc cutting and assembling videos. Beautiful work
Just aquired a bunch of old wooden planes, looking forward to getting them up to speed so I can get off the electric tools and do it all by hand. Great job on the table too. 👍
@mrchickadee been a minute since I checked in but holy your video quality has jumped 10 fold. Your dop (director of photography) is really on it. So much beautiful work. Please don't change the audio format ever. I find it so relaxing.
We have a 17th century farm table passed down to me from my Mum. It's still in daily use. I think that one of your lucky family members will be sitting at this table in 300+ years. Beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you. Good to see that the foreman also approves.
The way you were walking with that slab at the start of the vid, it looked like you were going to, or just finished, bludgeoning someone to death with it. Lol.
In a world overwhelmingly consumed with bigger, better, faster… Milwaukee power tools and Diablo saw blades tend to steal the show. But, this is real. This is the real stuff. What makes you want to make a family, move to the hill country and learn to use your hands and enjoy life. Even if this process is slower, it’s real. Not this fast, unnatural thing. It’s real. Thanks you Mr. Chickadee.
Always so inspiring. In addition to the incredible craftsmanship, there is not a single piece of waste in the process. No sand paper, no tool that cannot be sharpened, no wasted blades, and what remains is a stunningly beautiful table, and wood shavings that can be used to heat. And cat. :)
This is wonderful filming and editing, and outstanding woodworking skills. Very beautiful to watch. Thank you, I enjoyed it very much. I just bought a cherry slab to make myself a desk, and while I will be mostly using power tools, it still inspires me to continue working on it just from seeing the incredible grain and subtlety of this cherry table.
No words. There are no words for this. I've been doing some hand tool woodworking since right about the time this channel posted its first video. My projects... Work. They look decent, and function, but are basic and too rough to be anything more than amateur work. This guy has been showing me what master work looks like since Day 1. An absolute master.
It’s very rare that I make any comments but the quality of the work that you produce is brilliant and your videos should be used as a training guide for any young woodworkers just starting out thanks for all your efforts In producing these videos and for keeping hand tools the music that they make alive
There are two moments of grace: when we see you doing the object and when we see the finished object. Never the feeling of work as there is respect for the wood and the tool. Thank you for these beautiful moments.
It is very nice to see that there are still some people who prefer to do woodwork the old hard-laboring and old school way. (Nothing wrong in using electrical tools. I do so at my place of work as well) it is just nice to hear a hand saw sound and all the sounds of manual tools...
Make sure to make your wife dinner to christen this table as her camerawork is very impressive and makes the whole video a complete work of art! Love the beautiful table, just wish I could smell the shavings from those planes.
Daamn. The title sounds like some fancy dish name in the good and expensive restaurant 😁 i like Your videos. No music just a sounds of the tools and surroundings.
Definitivo... Me gusta la carpintería! No me canso ver estos vídeo. Cuando tengamos nuestra casa terminado, voy a hacer un pequeño Taller apartado para lidiar únicamente madera y lo que haga no sera para vender, sino para tener en casa o regalar a mi familia.
I also usually don’t comment but you’re just such an inspiration. I would love to see a video where you go through your hand tools and explain what they do and what scenarios you would use them in. So much appreciated!
Quartered cherry has so much visual interest to offer and it just doesn't get enough credit for it. I suppose people want light wood or dark wood, and not much in between, but it's a delight . I think most folks watch youtube these days for entertainment - to dream about what they could do rather than looking for things they will do. You've got the pieces of hand work together in a way that I hope some folks can appreciate - there is joy and physical stimulation in working that way. It's too bad there isn't a feel-o-meter. it doesn't by rule have to change what we make - working by hand, but it gives us time to see and discern that's important. And it leaves the work with more life. You know that I think the shavings from the try plane are just dandy - same with the smoother. Everything goes together naturally - the wood offers resistance to work, but it isn't a fight or exasperation and it doesn't have to be. no red face, no haunched over, no tools jamming...
You know I had a prof slab sawyer angrily proclaim that had to be sycamore wood, I guess many people dont know the lovely rays many woods can have if quartered. I work by hand for the enjoyment and practicality of it. I can make anything I need in this 12x15 workshop, without the noise, PPE and expense of power tools. Yes it takes me longer, and no I dont care. No one NEEDS to make their own furniture, and if you do, work the way you enjoy, is how I feel. I get great joy from these tools, and none from power tools, though I understand their utility to those pushed for time. I truly love the gift these planes give, that is, the ability to dimension and finish a piece in one process, regardless of the grain or knots, and never needing anything like sandpaper, scrapers and other BS. Just plane the wood, and its done, feels like polished marble and shines like a mirror. All this cherry came from one tree a neighbor gave us, it all had this nice curly wavyness to the grain, real lovely stuff to work with. Thanks for the comment sir.
In the first seconds i felt , this is special ! Just what im looking for. Real craftsmanship , no fancy noisy powertools wow ,that is great ! thank you Sir !
Another masterpiece of craftsmanship. Whether its a house, a fireplace, a cellar, or a table, ALL are so extremely well done. Thank you for showing us your work. Love this design.
Bonjour 🇨🇵, et bravo! One day I must close my eyes and just trie to ear and understand your work! I am sure it would be almost as beautiful ! (Almost😉) Funny effect, the green bottle was like a foreign stranger from an another World! 🙏🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾👏👏👏👏
I am an old school master carpenter, but at my age now, I could not do all completely by hand, I am very spoiled to using my power tools, I still do a lot of hand detail work, I just love seeing real craftsmanship.. That had to have taken at least a weekend to do, doing it all by hand... Thank you so much for sharing.. And reminding us, old fashioned carpentry is awesome..
Oo man I have so much respect for you, I will never have any talents like you, and probably half way I run out off patience and would through it it the chimney
There is something Unusually hypnotizing or entrancing about this video. I found myself really spacing out on the work or the sound or something. I’m not really sure. But having just the sounds of the tools working and no speaking or music. Really awesome. And the work of course just took it over the top. Or the other way around. Not sure. Just very focused and u can tell. Great stuff! Thx.

I can't believe I only just now am discovering this channel. Excellent video!

You are THE best woodworker on TH-cam, and I watch hundreds. Your attention to detail is extraordinary. Please keep posting videos and thanks for sharing.
My opinion to
Me too 😛
And apparently self-taught by watching videos of woodworkers and lots of practice.Unreal!
few work like this 100% handmade.!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Peace, Righteousness, humility, & Simplicity are blessings that are blessings to the obedient & those that behold him so-doing.
The cat has performed a quality check. It turned out great. 😊👍👍👍
Thank you mr Chickadee for your valuable lesson in self discipline!!
It’s very nice to see someone actually create something with their own hands and som hand tools instead of all these cnc cutting and assembling videos.

Your dop (director of photography) is really on it. So much beautiful work. Please don't change the audio format ever. I find it so relaxing.
Mr. Chikadee, you are a very trully artisan . my respect for you and congrats !!!

the best hand tool tutorial on the internet.
The way you were walking with that slab at the start of the vid, it looked like you were going to, or just finished, bludgeoning someone to death with it. Lol.
Sounds like some rock hard cherry…loved the sound of the saw during the first rip
The catspector was very pleased with the end result😃👌

This was the best Music video I've seen. And we get a beautiful, crafted table at the end also.
What a beautiful table. Love the details. Thank you for sharing.
It's a pleasure to watch you at work.
I strive to have the amount of patience that you have.
As usual, Charles did all the work.
This is wonderful filming and editing, and outstanding woodworking skills. Very beautiful to watch. Thank you, I enjoyed it very much.

Superb craftsmanship. Liked the wedge clamping of the table top. Thanks for sharing.
Weekend Stuff

Congratulations, very nice, old tehnia, and I'm a carpenter scluptor and I prefer this technique! I salute you 🇷🇴
Exceptional table! You sir are a true Craftsman, building legacy items that will last generations to come
Браво! Ручной труд - это превосходно.
I'm new to this channel... My word! No power tools!!!! My arms are sore just from watching!!!

Make sure to make your wife dinner to christen this table as her camerawork is very impressive and makes the whole video a complete work of art! Love the beautiful table, just wish I could smell the shavings from those planes.
I liked the part with the kitty! The kitty pedistal making video was cool too!
När jag ser era filmer får jag i bland känslan av att ni gör det omöjliga. Tack för inspirationen och det lugna tempot.
26:48 - Beautiful shot of a coupla the best things in the world: a handsome cat and a piece of furniture made for the ages :-)
That sliding dovetail ..... unbelievable!
I'm glad to see your new uploaded video again.
Daamn. The title sounds like some fancy dish name in the good and expensive restaurant 😁 i like Your videos. No music just a sounds of the tools and surroundings.

Even the way you put glue on boards is mesmerizing
Saw & liked the cat post on Instagram, went back for the joinery. 😋🥰
The best part of all this is-- he is correct handed. I love it!
This master craftsman is true to himself, a rarity on utube.
Титанический и фундаментальный труд!!! Браво!!!
I must have watched this video ten times by now. Fascinating!
thank you
I also usually don’t comment but you’re just such an inspiration. I would love to see a video where you go through your hand tools and explain what they do and what scenarios you would use them in. So much appreciated!
Absolutely beautiful. Your "shop inspector" seems to approve also. 😀
Finally! The making of table!
The beauty of hand craftsmanship. More like art than furniture.
Everything on this channel is perfect...

Wow - wow - wow ! Unglaubliche Handarbeit!
Your projects retain the perfect amount of rusticity that makes me feel at home. Well done.
That's a one hell of a table. He is the definition of a proper handyman

this man's patience and craftsman ship is unequal
Bonjour 🇨🇵, et bravo!
One day I must close my eyes and just trie to ear and understand your work! I am sure it would be almost as beautiful ! (Almost😉)
Funny effect, the green bottle was like a foreign stranger from an another World!
🙏🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾👏👏👏👏
Dovetail battens and wedged tenon joinery….wow, great stuff.
Mr. Chickadee! One of your best builds ever!
You are an absolutely fearless woodworker. Huzzah.
feel blessed to be able to watch you work!
I am an old school master carpenter, but at my age now, I could not do all completely by hand, I am very spoiled to using my power tools, I still do a lot of hand detail work, I just love seeing real craftsmanship.. That had to have taken at least a weekend to do, doing it all by hand... Thank you so much for sharing.. And reminding us, old fashioned carpentry is awesome..
That is a beautiful piece of furniture! Job well done.
A beautiful cat, table and video. Good for the soul, or so it seems.
Oo man I have so much respect for you, I will never have any talents like you, and probably half way I run out off patience and would through it it the chimney
You don't built projects, you create art
Hail the master! Those sliding dovetails are so cool!!
Watching this guy cut mortise and tenons is something else
Outstanding. As always!
Extremely gratifying to watch.
What a great Table!, and your handtool skills too! Greetings from Berlin, Germany!
Wow beautiful work this guy is a true craftsman
Beautiful Mr. Chickadee! Nothing like the luster of a sharp plane finish! Many Blessings and Kind Thanks! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Watch your work is my therapy. Real craftsmanship. Congratulations 👏
Finally got to see him use a table saw!
A beautiful table well made. A very nice cat, too. Thanks for the video!
Beautiful! Really nice work on display.
It was good to see that Charles was on the job for the final inspection. Utterly beautiful, interesting design.
There is something Unusually hypnotizing or entrancing about this video. I found myself really spacing out on the work or the sound or something. I’m not really sure. But having just the sounds of the tools working and no speaking or music. Really awesome. And the work of course just took it over the top. Or the other way around. Not sure. Just very focused and u can tell. Great stuff! Thx.
Hi
I am amazed by the quality of your craftsmanship.
Everything you touch turns as a piece of art.
thank you!
All hand tools.True craftsmanship.Inspected by mouser
Mr and Mrs Chickadee make some great videos.
That’s some mighty fine work!
That Sir is the finest hand tool made piece of furniture I've seen built. You are gifted.
Not enough can be said about this man's perfect work!
A beautiful piece Mr. Chickadee!
@21:35 that saw skill is something else!
Power tools and our lost art of hand tools and our skills.
Beautiful job.
