... or fence ... or sander ... or glue

I don't know whether to be impressed or have the chills run up my spine with that table saw.

 

Mr. Gass is on line 2 for you.

Love it! Thanks for the great video Keith!

Ya'll will be aghast, my 83 year old dad cuts wood like that on the table saw, has ever since I've known him. I cringe.

Look at the advantages you do not have to turn the saw back on when finished with the planing. My DIL has some chairs that look like that guy made them.

At least they're solid wood!

Funny, I was waiting for that too! Did he use any glue on the chair or just trust to FRICTION?

Didn't see no glue. If they stay in a humid climate, they'll likely stay together....for a while. Ship them to an arid climate and they'll fall apart in the shipping container. 

Time for Chair-Loc.

When I did MACFAT, it used wet-dry joinery -- mortises were moderately dry, tenons were over dried.   When they equalized, they were locked in place permanently.   Most Asian furniture is high in moisture content when it's made -- trust me on this one.

It kept echoing in my head as I watched:  some jobs we don't want back.  I can't watch too much of that:  makes me feel my age.
