    Next time you are tempted to blame your chisels, your mallet, your work bench or your wood vise for the outcome of a bit of joinery remember this bloke.

    I'll bet like everyone else, he knows where he likes them. he probably just knows by feel. If you made the bevel too blunt and it slowed him down, or made it too shallow (and the edge failed and it slowed him down), I'll bet he'd be unhappy!

    He just doesn't need to get an angle finder out to figure out what angle he likes since he's *using* his tools.

    Well I'd like to know how he dealt with the knot right at the end. Also what sort of timber was he working?

    Yes, he was just starting on the knot when they cut the video - maybe it didn't turn out so well, afterall?

    I was also trying to figure out what wood it is. It doesn't look like a softwood, I couldn't see any growth rings. I thought it was some fine-grained hardwood. The crisp & clean way it was cutting, it looks like it was chosen for the job by someone who knows which wood does what...

    Cheers,

    I agree it's probably not a soft wood. Seems like it would cut faster and probably get a bit of that crushing effect you sometimes get on the end grain between the tails.

    To be truthful, it did give me a bit of a start! I'm not noted for being particularly meticulous when it comes to machine safety, but seeing that totally naked blade whirring away there made me swallow hard a few times...
