Chop With Chris You're welcome, this is really great job :-)

A fine example of why products of bygone eras were built to last. When such skill was required in order to make something it was well done and meant to be a once in a lifetime purchase. Now we have mass produced trash that was designed with planned obsolescence in mind to guarantee purchasing another item in a year or two. A fine video, fine craftsmanship, fine final product. A pleasure to see.

Thank you. Actually I made a bowl for my friend Kasia who is from Poland. I have visited myself a few times. The old section of Warsaw is brilliant.I had no idea there were so many different types of sausage!! Chris

I actually only started this a few years ago. Its more about passion than skill. Chris

Outstanding job here Chris, what an inspiration. I'd like to one day make one of these.

Thanks and good luck. You get get some of the design details from my video: The Foot Powered Lathe 2. Chris

The first 15 minutes are difficult but then the body adjusts. Thanks. Chris

You don't need talent if you have passion. Good luck. Chris

Hats Off to you Chris!! Some time ago I read an article that stated that modern people is less intelligent and ingenious than half a century ago. In other words, our engineering aptitudes, the ability to come up with problem solving ideas, is going down the drain as time passes and generations evolve... And I kind of agree. You my friend, are the living proof that there's still hope. Brilliant!!

Chop with Chris I love these manually powered machines. I am presently working on a treadle generator to charge a small bank of batteries for a little light at the cottage and charge phones. Nothing huge, just a flywheel with alternating magnets, coils, and some electronics. Well done on your build Chris!👍

This is just flat out poetry. The music, the speed enhancement... It's a delight to watch.

This entire vid is a testament to the power of tools that are well maintained. Your chiseling is awesome, hardly any hesitation in knocking off just the amount you want.

Mate, that is AWESOME! I'm a cabinet maker by trade and watching this made me mourn for the old skills which are falling by the wayside as modern techniques, tools and materials are inexorably taking over. I know apprentices who don't even know how to do dovetails or a mortise and tenon by hand. Very sad. Thank you for keeping the skill alive and thank you for your brilliant videos. :)

Chris, this is the kind of videos I would click a "love" button. Man, you built the mother of all handles, you should be proud of yourself and include that to your resume.

Danke mein Freund. Ich habe viele Male nach Deutschland gereist. Sie haben ein schönes Land! Chris

Its called a draw knife. One of my favorite tools to use. Thanks and take care. Chris

Thanks again my friend. Chris

Yes - it was a nice touch. It's a journey, not a race so you may as well do the job right. Chris

superman! my father is a carpenter too. missed my childhood days playing with those tools

Thanks - I love doing it. Chris

I was so fascinated by what I saw that I didn't notice the music until the end of the video! This is just amazing!

Thanks my friend. Now you need to watch the sequel - Foot Powered Lathe II. Go Irish! Chris

Thanks and more therapy to come. Chris

Well i expect that most of our comments are top as i have never seen such skill to watch. He is the kind of chap who makes one feel like throwing their tools in the trash,If i was a bit younger i might think about getting better, but that standard is amazing. lovely work indeed.

Just the stuff I enjoy! Thank you indeed!

It does not even look simple, what a wonderful way to use your strenght and wits !

This is not normally something i would be interested in at all but to see you do this all with hand tools, all your own design, i think this is "effing" amazing. Congratulations you are a very skilled person.

HOLY COW!!! I am speechless.... All wood no fastener build using all period hand tools. Astounding.

Makes me want to get back into the wood shop. Remember building simple pine furniture as a kid using templates at the age of 5. Would love to learn from someone like you. This is truly an artform. Anyone with modern tools can build but it takes a true craftsman to do this type of work.

Extremely cool! I remember watching The Woodright's Shop with my dad as a kid. This brings back alot of memories.

I'm 14 and can build pretty well, I've always been good at building and mechanics but, whoa man, this is amazing

This is not only perfect handcraft! This is art!! Greetings from Germany. :-)

Thank you. Chris

Rob, Thank you very much. I have many more videos for you to enjoy and there are more to come. Take care. Chris

Thanks a for your support! Chris

you make very good videos because you really look like you are enjoying yourself working with the tools and you don't take yourself to serious

No screws, no nails, without electricity!. Pure beauty !. Congratulations

As a Blacksmith and a hobbyist hand tool woodworker, I commend you on your ingenuity and practicality. My day job requires me to make almost all of my own tools or come up with ways to use whats to hand on a continuous basis. You have demonstrated that with a little elbow grease and patience most anything can be accomplished. Oh and nice post drill I have one in my smithy but mostly I just hot punch my holes and needed.

my great uncle had one of those drills. my great aunt may still have it. remember mucking around with it in my early teens.

Love the carving you did on the tailstock "riser" to match the Dunlop design. What a hoot!

Holy crap Chris!!!! your a god of wood workers!!!! sheesh your good.

It's so good to be you, isn't it? I am envious of what you can do with wood. My late uncle could do similar things, I thought him genius but I've never learnt his skills to that degree, so you favour him most closely from all I can name, including You Tube. Keep on the good work. Make some stuff from Poland - we were famous for coping with too little in doing too much. Dig in and you'll see:)

So glad this reached 1 million. Excellent craftsmanship. :' D

I'm just self taught and enjoy the challenge. Chris

I am basically self taught. I just try a little at a time and build my skills. Chris
