- A seemingly impossible wooden chain made out of some scrap 2x4. This project is as much fun to PLAY with as it was to build - and a great conversation starter!

With enough patience and festool anyone can do this stuff. I looked up this project after seeing an old timer do this project with nothing but a pen knife. You loose the organic feel in the end result when you are this precise. Respect to the organization and planning but the real skill shows when someone does this stuff with a knife and sandpaper. Keep up the good work.
I don't know what it is about high speed filing or sanding of wood, but I always find it hilarious and fun to watch. Dramatic music is also a nice touch.
Exelent Kriss. You are in the right way!
Excellent Video Quality...Solid...! My hart skipped a beat when you cut off the two handles to this Wooden NunChuck...! Whatch Out... Impossible Kriss is on the Loose...! Greetings from Denmark... Stay Cool and Impossible...! Jakob.
Very nice. Ive seen people carving chains with a knife, never with elaborate jigs. But you made it work. Fun to watch!
Very cool Kriss!
Chris, A lot of people say that woodworking is a "Graying" advocation. If you attend the trade shows, you'll see more gray hair than you should. It is REALLY NICE to see a younger person so clever and enthusiastic about modern hybrid (both hand and power tools) woodworking. Congratulations. I've been woodworking since I was in the 8th grade at age 13. I still learn new ideas and techniques every time I tackle a new and different project or watch or read something from people like you. Congratulations and keep the sawdust coming.
+Steven Jaynes - Will do. Thanks for the nice words, Steven!
I liked that very much. Thank you
Very good job.
excellent project and video too.
Well done!
Really ingenious project, Kriss! It definitely looks nerve wracking making those last few cuts with the router.
Very very cool. Nice work!
I like your ideas they are great
"The soothing sound of cracking wood" :D
Interesting project Kriss!
+John Heisz - :) Thanks
+John Heisz Sounded more like breaking bones to me. Lol!
How clever! Well done for persevering
Choosing the hard way in life.
Dramatic music and the sound of cracking wood... nice!! What a fun project. I like it!
+Awesome Wood Things - Thanks Matt!
+FastEasySmartTOOL May I use a clip of this video in a future Woodworking Top Videos segment? Again... I think it's really cool. Either way, please keep being awesome.
Yes, of course! Thanks Matt :)
+FastEasySmartTOOL The new WTV episode just went live and it features this video! Check my channel for the link (Pasting the URL here may cause this comment to be flagged). Thank you!!
Cheers Kriss
Very cool Krisss.
I plan on making one with 20 links and using it to chain up my bicycle.
Thanks for posting.
These chains can't keep you down! Nice work sir!
Now for an ANCHOR!!! Fun build.
I probably would have cheated and glued the halves together. Phenomenal workmanship.
You are an amazing and talented young man. Great video.
Ah fireplace and wood cracking...soothing!
Creative out of the if thinking. And explained so very well!
great job!!
Buddy, Kriss! You have much more patience than I do! That crackling fireplace is probably where mine would've ended up! Lol Great work and thanks for sharing!
Clever use and setup of your tools for this one. Excellent use of dramatic music as well.
Also, thanks for spelling out your name. I believe I've spelled it wrong previously.
+Jay Bates - Kriss/Kris/Cris/Chris, as long as it sounds the same I'll take it! Haha. Thanks, I'm glad you liked the music!
very clever
Awesome project!
Honestly I have put a fair bit of thought into doing this myself, knowing that wood carvers do it with a knife made me want to do it with power tools. I never came up with the solution, so congratulations for beating me to it! :)
+Jeremy Schmidt - Thanks! You beat me to to tripod, so I'm not apologizing ;)
+FastEasySmartTOOL No apologies needed, I wasn't complaining! 😄
Funny thing. The chain from the tree. Like!
:)
a wooden bearing would be cool!
Very tense watching, glad it worked !
Nice project. Neat combination of tools to achieve the end result.
Great work! I enjoyed the video!
+Bosapiutsa - Thank you! I enjoyed the comment!
Ok this opened up my imagination a bit... Awesome!
That's really cool! An interesting exercise in wood working. I remember as a young Wood Shop student that my shop teacher Mr Henry made this same type of chain but he also incorporated the caged ball at the end of the chain. All hand carved out of a single piece of wood. It took me the longest time before I was able to get my head around how he made that! Good job!
Was your wood shop teacher into bondage?
+Jonto Dickens You've got me in stitches, very funny.
Interesting idea, brilliant execution. Now that you've proven the concept, it would be really neat to see this done with an exotic wood like Zebrawood.
I though "what are you scared of?!"... But then the dramatic music...
Awesome!!!
Great project and a great shop... I must admit, I was sort of nervous when you started cracking them apart. Impressive result. I remember when I was a young boy... one our neighbors (and friend) had a hand carved length of chain, made by their Grampa, that was quite impressive. It makes me realize how much work must have gone into it. Nice job...
well done Kriss.... regards Mike
Great build. Entertaining as well.
Great job Kriss! Keep up the good work.
I love the set-up! All Festool? Must have cost you a fortune. Great results! Thank you for putting up this and your other shows.
brilliant
Lol, what a project, pure genius......
Interesting BUT far more interesting to watch guys sit with a carving or pocket knife and DO THE SAME THING without the plethora of power and expensive hand tools.
Awesome experimental woodworking puzzle! Good job man!
Fascinating project!!
Mistrzostwo jak zawsze!
That's a great piece of woodworking and your machinery is certainly top of the range.
However, I did find I got carried away a little by the music:-).
I enjoy your sense of humour and you've got yourself a new subscriber.
Best wishes from Ireland,
Alan,
very cool! you got skills brother
Nice. Well thought out
+Mitch Peacock - WOmadeOD - Thanks Mitch!
Nice job!
very challenging indeed.
That is pretty cool!
+Make Something - Thanks David! Hope you're feeling better :)
That was fantastic! Thanks for another great video!!
Nice work
When you appeared and said "Hey guys!" I thought it's Matt Cremona 10 years ago... Anyway. Good to have one more channel in the list.
... Although I don't know how Matt looked 10 years ago.
:) no way. even if you start killing right now, a whole life time won't be enough to kill all the people named Nikolay
true but I rarely see people with the same name so I could get rid of those
Proof of concept complete. Now do it in hardwood ;).
I bet it would have been a lot less stressful had you used hardwood, of course then the dramatic music would have gone to waste.
Amazing! I enjoyed watching!
Amazing! Bravo!!!
Crazy project! kudos :)
+Harel Jann - Thank you Harel :)
Your VERY clever.
Awesome project!! cool dramatic music and very funny, keep them coming please. On other thought, you could have saved the two end links instead of breaking them and have a 9 link wooden chain.
Your video made my happy. You're adorable, and great project!
another amazing work!
That's an impressive fret saw...
cool man
Pretty sick dude... Keep the great videos coming
Love this! I found a beautiful piece of wood just by chance and have been looking for a way to make a paperclip style chain from it. Hope I can figure out how to delicately do this on a much smaller scale.
Get a good carving knife and a lot of patience
Clever work Kriss
Have you made a Puzzle box yet? Would love to see it. Good job on the chain.
Nice one Kriss!
+Matthew Cremona - Thanks :)
Good job. Here's a challenge for you. How about a crank operated gear machine that shakes spray cans. I hate shaking those things and it would be nice to just put it into a hand help machine and turn a handle. I have my concept for it but I'd like to see what you come up with. I asked Izzy Swan about it but he has too much on his plate. It would make a great and easy video for you.
Folks have been doing this since forever with nothing more than a stick and a pocket knife.
Nice work, and kudos for your level of patience! Why do you already have a bucket list?
Amazing content, you would think that would be dry but you due a great job of keeping the pace up
And keeping it lite
I can't wait to see what you do when you start setting your mind to furniture and other larger objects. Speaking of which, have you seen the Wave Cabinet by Sebastian ErraZuriz? There are a few videos of it here on TH-cam.
Amazing what can be hidden in a piece of lumber, nice job removing it.
Waaaah! Such a great thinking cap on you have huh! I can totally imagine the drama during the process, happy you made it work! :)
+Get Hands Dirty - Drama is what we live for :)
interesting project.
Hi Kriss, like every time, interesting project and great work! 👍🏼
Bom trabalho mesmo Parabéns
Very clever man! cool to see the design steps in cad and the practical side! nice!
+Cactus! workshop -I'll admit, the CAD design came after I had built it :P
haha! well still you made the effort of doing it to explain it so, cool!
Nice work! First of all: You have a very clean shop. :)
Second, I love the way you couldn't keep yourself from playing with the chain before you had broken all of the links. I would have done the exact same thing. :)
+JWAM - Have to keep the shop clean when it's so small.
+FastEasySmartTOOL Sure, but that doesn't explain how you make the wood absorb sawdust instead of emitting it when you do your cuts. :)
Keep up the good work!
👍👍
Крис ты молодец, инструмент у тебя хороший, мне нравятся твои видео и работы. Show the tool, such that all were surprised, something brand new, abrupt
Was going to try maby in 30 years
festtools!
Wooden chain, I like it :) Please don't use it into your fire place to ear more crakeling sound :)
Very innovative idea..
Good
cool :)
Clever project. Would it be near impossible to do the same project but make the chain links circular or oval? Love the tools you use and your workshop. Very nice! Record a vid giving us gear nuts a tour of your shop and tools.
super one

Oh dammit, I watched the big shadow of your head ;)
Cool project Kriss.
+Marius Hornberger - Thanks Marius :) Good luck on that last exam tomorrow. Kill it!
I was undecided until the dramatic music
nice project, oh I am jealous of that MFT.
I'd like to see your take on impossible dovetail, or really impossible dovetail (john heisz), or the multi-angle joint.
