Great job. I spent half the video looking at your beautiful workshop and coveting your tools.
when case is nicer than a laptop
Maurice everything you make is amazing. I just sit there completely content watching your videos. Inlay by hand with no C&C machine. Sitting there and hand planing until it fits just right. A true craftsman. I seriously am jealous of your shop. Using a forstner bit with the depth set to remove the center material I wouldn't have thought of that. I would have used a router and lost my fence going to deep into the wood. You're the man!

+joe brown Hi Joe! Wondered if and when you'd show up ;-) Nice to have you here! Yes, a cnc would have been a nice tool to use in a project like this. But, since I don't have one I have to use what I do have. (my two hands included) Thanks Joe!

Good job, sir! The finished product and the video are both really good. Your shop is pretty impressive as well!
Finally found you! This video got me into woodworking! Now im starting an aprentice ship as a cabinetmaker.
I've got a deep appreciation for what you do. I'm no woodworker but it looks as if you put a lot of passion into your work and its apparent from the attention to detail you put. Just wanted to say thanks for uploading these videos!

So good! Love the project, love your shop, the process and the video itself. Really nice shots! And man, are you cutting the foam/felt with an arrow? Ahaha so cool!
