I’ve been watching a ton of videos lately too and it’s way better than reading peoples’ bickerings about dysfunctional politicians.
I love the videos of people restoring old mechanical devices, sometimes neglected for decades.
I'm mesmerized by the ingenuity it takes to produce something so complex while working with simple tools. I could watch that stuff all day.
Thanks Jorn.
That was fun.
How about a bridge without nails (though he does use an electric planer)?

Mesmerizing. I really enjoyed that.
Wow! Those are amazing! I'm in.
A little more 'modern' but relaxing to watch...

Enjoy the design and skill that goes into the pieces.
That guy has crazy skills. Thanks.
In a somewhat similar vein, I enjoy vids like this one. One highlight is from around 7:30 to 11 where she makes a very cool piece to hold her pot over a fire.

Wow...wait a minute, time lapse video, posted to you tube. Come on, just behind the camera there's this huge wood shop with every tool you could imagine...but I hope not. Just the skeptic in me these days.
Thanks though. Very cool.
I found this at the end of Jorn's video above:

It's an hour and a half of two years in northern Canada. I got sucked in for half of it. Stunning video work, beautiful place, and amazing what some folks can do.
Joinery is incredible. And the best tool in that video is the little hammer. Such a great sound from that thing.Quote:

I think "Something Fun" should be its own sub-forum given how Something Unfun has seeped into the others.
This video is just kooky.

It reminds me of all the crazy things I see done with laminations. ...like the ply wood challenge.
