Great series, I like the consistency from video to video.
This is a great series of videos, hopefully FineWoodworking will add more of this quality.
I agree with the great video quality. After getting over his cutting pins first, I have much appreciation and respect for Matt as an instructor and craftsman. This type of content is the reason I continue to subscribe. Keep it coming!

I have enjoyed this video series. Matt's approach to his work and instruction is very informative, and I learned a few new tricks while watching this series. I wished I was starting my career out again and could attend North Bennet Street School.
Excellent series!!! Matt takes his time and explains everything in great detail. Again . . . excellent! I'd really like more videos like this. THANK YOU!
Would really love to learn of the manufacturer of Matt's cutting gauge!!!
He made it. I believe it's part of the curriculum at NBSS. Bob Van Dyke's article is a similar style ( https://www.finewoodworking.com/2017/03/29/shopmade-cutting-gauge ). If you want to buy one, check out Bob Miller's handmade gauges ( http://masswoodworks.com/markinggauges ). He teaches at NBSS as well.
