  1. It's a fascinating topic, but I can't watch all of it -- the guy is moving the camera too much, and it's giving me motion sickness.

  2. Dang it, that guy was GOOD with his tools. I wanted to see more!

  3. There is a little too much camera movement. People shouldn't have to take Dramamine to watch YouTube videos.

    I liked that long, narrow knife-like thing the guy used for planing.

  4. A video that REALLY set me on the nausea wagon was on "Battleswarm" a while back, a guy who bought an abandoned storage locker that was crammed full of weapons, ammo, and accessories. His girlfriend was moving the camera around like a pole dancer. I actually had to take anti-nausea medicine halfway through, and lie down.

    Yes, the craftsman definitely can wield his tools -- every motion was precise, almost no wasted effort. Really quite astounding, when you consider that most wood is not friendly to carving. I expect he selected the wood carefully, but still, that was a lot of skill on display.
