Don't know which I like more- his router, his workbench or his truck.

That is impressive, talk about "by hand and eye"

That was completely amazing to watch. The skill, craftsmanship and dedication to the craft is remarkable.

Never need to sweep the shop floor i really posted it with Mike Davis in mind. The sad thing is I dont even know what his router is called (the double headed knife with a handle in the middle). Anybody know? I want one.

Wow! I never thought I needed a Shavehorse, but I may have to rethink this!

I think that is called a twibble.. Not sure. I have seen them before but never saw one used like that. Most folks I have talked to or read from thought they were used like a small hatchet to carve mortices.

and I do clean my floor... Sometimes.

I had to look up the meaning of "Stollentruhe". A few more to explore...

I would work the way he does, but the stumps in my yard are arranged all wrong!

Interesting little tool that is indeed used for mortising but in the film it looks like a big scratch-stock for making a groove or dado. There's also a brief description of how a twybil is used to make a mortise.

I was totally (and genuinely) blown away by the haus frau!

I dont know guys... I'm really digging on "Helga". I mean any woman that can swing a maul, saw, and carry a big ole log roped to her back like that is a woman who grabs my attention.

Dad told me about finding a bride. If she has a good heart and can cook. Check and Check but he forgot to tell about a woman who can carry logs and plow deep furrows.

There's just something... about "Helga" i bet she can cook up some mean fried chicken and is a crack shot too.

I do belive its called a TWIVEL - not to be confused with a TEIBIL. I gotta get me a TWIVEL.
