#ThirdCoastCraftsman

I'm currently 33, did 11 years in the Canadian air force, currently studying for an engineering degree, and realized a year ago my heart wasn't in it. So I've started slowly getting back into my passion and where I truly know my heart is, carpentry/woodworking. It's extremely motivating watching you speak of pretty much the exact pattern I'm going through. Ill be building my shop come fall, and cannot wait to grab my coffee, start my fire stove, and build things with my hands every single day. Thank you, just shows me if you can, I can.

Have you ever noticed how many woodworkers are veterans...or how many get out and study engineering? This is the type of interview that I will have to watch multiple times. Thanks for bringing this into my world!

That's a beautiful bookcase!
You guys used Danish Oil. Homemade in Lviv uses American Oil.
Must be like preachers: the farther they come the better they're supposed to be.

Hello Eric. I've been a fan since day one and a woodworker for over 40 years. I am glad to see that the show is back and better than ever. I, like Chris am told that my super power is finding the hardest way of doing things, but I maintain that whatever you put into your project you will get back in quality, craftsmanship and pride. I thank you for giving us insight into the different crafts, being fearless in trying your hand at said crafts and asking the thoughtful questions that you do. Bravo Eric.

Have enjoyed the show for years. I 've been a guitar builder for over 40+ years and your show always has a new twist of skills. Never stop learning there is always new ideals ahead. Keep up the good work!!!!

Chris is by far my biggest inspiration, I think the only reason I have a collection of hand tools is because of watching his videos. Really love the point about showing off the joinery and letting the subtle design features speak for themselves.

[butcherwoman]

I am no craftsman or artisan but I sure to admire your channel and all the gifted craftsmen and artisans you are introducing me to. Thank you.

[Oscarhobbit]

I have just started to watch this channel and I have fallen in love with it. It is so relaxing to watch real crafts people working. Big hello from all the way over in Northern Ireland!

You had a clip of Chris making a farm table with breadboard ends. I used that video series to help me build my first farm table and have been a follower of his ever since. Great and humble guy, amazing craftsman.

Thank you for the video!

[MrGrundle]

What a humble guy. Beautiful work, exceptional craftsman.

[byOldHand]

Thank you for this beautiful and inspring video. Great presentation, great Craftsmen and great work

[markdmaker]

I love the sign on the wall at the bottom it says stay humble. Words of wisdom

[JP-jmfy]

I’ve watched so many of these videos and I loved all of them. This particular one though I feel like I could study a lifetime with this guy in his shop and love every minute of it.

[bryaneaton]

What another great episode, Eric. There's a cool, calm, easy, and interesting manner (I can't pick just one adjective!) in how you interview. Thanks for the great "edutainment".

[peterellis]

When the oil hit the base and the ray flecks popped, I laughed out loud ;) Quarter sawn or riven oak is just so beautiful.

[monteengel]

Just watched this (May 5, 2022). I built.a trestle table, 30”x84” in red oak (the hardwood dealer did not have white oak) in 2018. The table used the techniques. It was a stretch for me, but was great to finish.

[CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you to everyone who watched the premiere and joined the chat!!

[bricemanuel]

Chris that was awesome. Keep us posted about your own Woodrite show!
