Quite nice. I used to build curved fronted cabinets and chests in the old days back in the UK out of solid Oak, but the procedures we used back then were a bit different, with everything completed by hand; no modern machinery like today. The finish we used was highly polished, French polish, so the timber had to be perfectly matched. Every piece was built by one craftsman who was assigned to that piece and didn't work on anyone elses project. I never worked on a mass production line. It took many hours to build just one piece of cabinetry and we took pride in our work, taking no short cuts. It is good to see that there is still some men who take time and have pride in their work too like this gentleman. I would loved to have him as an apprentice and taught him some of the old traditional methods we used back in the day. I'm sure he would have turned out an excellent craftsman. I still dabble in a bit of woodwork but at 83 the old hands are not as steady as they used to be.

You should make some videos on the theory and methods used. Pass on what you've learned!

A computer controlled craftsman . As a basic DIY viewer , I just was really shocked by this standard of work . A real nice video to watch and as usual I can almost feel your attention to detail . Amazed that all this beauty came from a humble plank of wood and your skill .

Fantastic workmanship, you are an artist and craftsman.

Hi Ollie, I know I would just be repeating what everyone else has said in the comments, If I was to say, how brilliant it is watching you work, as you have so much pride in what you do and the end product always shows this. I wanted to add, your idea for fixing the shelf in the cabinet is brilliant but simple one (which are always the best), so even thou I know I would not be able to build an item up to your standard, I can take away this idea and use it in the future. So once again thank you for sharing your videos with us, as many other content makers have said, videoing and editing add a huge amount of time to every aspect of the build.
