Thank you for sharing this :)
May the Schwarz be with you

Great video!
I've never seen Chris Swarz in a video and had no idea what a character he is until now. He and Roy make quite a team! Most episodes I've watched of Roy's show are pretty tame and, unless you're into woodworking, can seem rather boring. Not so with Chris there!
After watching this I clicked on the other Chris Swarz video "Hand Plane Essentials with Chris Schwarz" (http://www.pbs.org/woodwrightsshop/video/3100/3105.html) and learned a thing or two about the jack plane. I like Chris's approach to woodworking. There's more woodworking and less preparation prior to the woodworking.
Thanks Roc!
Glad you enjoyed it
Chris is a real gentleman and scholar. He has surprised me more than once and taken the time to reply to a thank you note from me etc. The Roy video is one of those examples of the highest levels of our craft where very precise work is done by the simplest means. An industrial engineer once told me the simplest solution is often the hardest to arrive at or something along those lines. I live for those moments; such as when I saw a story stick for the first time and all the lights come on for me.
good stuff.
