Jim,

This is the best marketing in woodworking I've seen in a long time. Just awesome.

This video just made my day. As a musician this really spoke to me, love the music references.

As a teacher I give this very high marks. I was absorbed from the first. The animation both illustrated and entertained while keeping the main points right on the surface in a very clear way. I hope you do more of these. I would definitely watch them. Loved it.

Wish he was still producing videos! What great lessons.

Jim, thanks for sharing your world in the unusual way you have. I would love to see more videos, It seems you have a lot to teach the younger generation (including myself at 41). I think most of us have forgotten much of the old ways.

This was wonderful! I don't know how I've missed it!

Happy to have stumbled upon your channel, nice work!
It's incredible to think of these relationships in terms of harmonic/musical relationships, you just blew my mind.

Nice. I am currently working on building Sectors. I love ancient woodworking ideas. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year.

Great fun video with a good explanation of designing to fit the person. I see this all the time in the old (1928) farm house

I found this on your website after seeing you on offcenterharbor. It is the best thing I have seen in a long time, very clever. Well done to the animator and yourself.

Thanks.

This is fantastic, I hope to explore stop motion even further( I'm a beginner) o feel very motivated by seeing this, thanks!

[nerdanderthalidontlikegoog]

Great video, I will check out your book.

Great video.  I plan to share with my daughter.

This is super. My only quibble is that William Blake was post-Renaissance BUT BUT BUT he is the PERFECT example to use because of his extensive traditional craft training in engraving for illustration, a very similar training to that of the Renaissance greats. My hat is off! Please come east to Highland Hardware and teach us.

Great explanation - I didnt know any of that. Thanks.
