If you have a spare hour some time watching this video is not a bad way to spend it.
FolkStreams » Ben's Mill (http://www.folkstreams.net/film,187)

Video is about an old water mill that powers a woodwork shop and shows Ben building not only a sled but also a coopered livestock water trough.

Wow, woodworking 101.
Nothing fancy here, really enjoyable to watch.
Love the laid back style, nothing is measured with a tape, just story sticks etc.
Awesome movie, I'm a fan.:2tsup:

Possibly the most interesting woodworking video I have watched. Just love the way he removes the dust from the edge of the tub after sanding it.
