I am a 30 year carpentry veteran and am really enjoying your back to basic principles approach. Can’t wait to see more. Well done and keep them coming.

I have spent a lot of time looking through American videos and have seen some very talented people. Came across your Master Class series by accident and was blown away. It was like being back in school, everything explained simply and thoroughly, with an 'aussie' accent as well, what a bonus. Thank you for this and I am looking forward to watching more. Great work, love it.

Its 2019 now and I have just found you. Simple, easy to understand, understandable language. Love it Love it. Going to buy me a planer.

This guy is easily the best teacher I've seen thus far. I teach myself and I can tell you, a person may be a master at his craft but an abysmal tutor. This guy is both a master craftsman and a very good tutor. Both are skills unto their own, never forget that. Brilliant thank you!

[brysonkouwenhoven]

Thank you for this video! 20 year old man here just now getting into woodworking and will be visiting your site occasionally. Looking forward to following your work, you have a great presence.

Awesome job Mr Hay I've watched alot of top notch woodworkers on you tube and amassed alot of great information and as i started watching you for the first time I've learned a few new tricks already I've been a woodworker for over 40 years and love studying what others do in their work and always find new wisdom from others thank you for sharing your wisdom i appreciate your legacy as my own again thank you and carry on with your way

[daveneef]

Your expectations are just great, it's like I am listening to my old woodworking teacher 34 years ago. He was my favourite teacher ever. Thank you and greetings from the Netherlands. 👍

One one the best series I've been recommended by YouTube.
Half way through, and I was already subscribing.

This channel deserves to have a million subscribers.

I've never done any woodworking at all. I get watching random youtube videos and watched some on woodworking which led me to your channel. Just watched this first video and wanted to say that you are very inspiring. You make me want to learn the craft myself. Although it's too late in life for me to start a new career.

This takes me back to my youth, just after WW2. My uncle was a joiner/cabinet maker and we made pretty much all of our furniture. That's when I learned to use hand tools because that's all we had not even a power drill. I'm sorry to say that nowadays I use mainly machines. I do have an excuse I've some arthritis in my hands, well fingers, so I'm limited to how much I can use hand tools.
I would like to add watching one of your videos I saw you using a hand saw and was I pleased to see that the saw was doing the work. I've seen some modern carpenters trying to force the saw, I guess they've got to used to electric saws.
I did come across a natty idea for using a jointer with wood that's wider than the bed, you plane down and get say two thirds of the board flat then take it to the thicknesser and put a known flat board under the planed flat surface and then you can present the other side for planning. once that's true then turn it over and get rid of the unplanned third planned down to size. I hope this comes over in an understandable fashion.
Really enjoying your videos

I'm only five and a half minutes in and I can tell this is going to be magical as a learning experience. Well done, sir.

[DreadSpawn]

I just came across your video and wanted to say thank you. This is definitely the masterclass of instructional videos. I love the fact that I could watch your video while following right along. That's if I had a shop with all your tools. It's been a long time since I've done any real woodworking but looking to get back into it to spend some time with my son.

[True_Blood_]

I've just suddenly taken interest in the timber life. Unfortunately this wasn't an option in school nor did I know anyone in the craft. This video is very informative, thank you kind sir for sharing some of your knowledge, I look forward to many more of your videos. You have my subscription!

I’m really new to woodworking, in truth my only ambition has been to make the best quality photograph frames for my A2 prints and mounts. I’ve got fed up of making archival prints in archival mount for them to be put into a nasty Dunhelm Mill (a very cheap and nasty UK company) frame. That is until I saw this video. Like someone else commented I’ve watched a lot of very talented people on YouTube, and I've learnt a bit. However, and as a cricket loving Englishman it galls me to say an Aussie is the best at anything, no one has come near you. Your flow, explanations and logical way of teaching are brilliant and you have certainly raised my ambitions.

I just got into college doing furniture and cabinet craft and been looking into doing some woodworking over the summer until I'm going to college. This series is presented amazingly just like how my teacher and the workshop technician taught me in secondary school. Look forward to watching the rest of this 10/10

[TheTaipan]

You little ripper. No american accents here and clear explanations :) Thanks. This is what i have been searching for.

[CheisYang]

It is my dream to come to England one day and start my own company as a woodworker/furniturer. Im 25 now and just get started learning at my local woodsman as a helper, but I want to be craftsmen myself one day. Thanks a lot for these films, It really gets me somewhere and every episode is one, little step further to my dream :) Cheers from Poland

[reaper]

I found this set of videos yesterday. I'm not getting much time to watch them a lot right now but I'm looking forward to having some time to go thru them all.. 2014 the date says on these.. I want to learn all about DOVETAIL JOINTS and what they entail so this is going to be brilliant. Can't wait to get my little workshop fixed up over the next few months and then I will be able to concentrate solely on woodwork every evening and weekend while I'm learning the craft. Thanks mate..
