Being a retired joiner I would loved to have met him would have been very interesting.

Thanks for uploading these. I had the series on VHS but no longer have the tape player or means to copy them.

Best documentary on woodworking

"You can buy one down at the iron mongers" "I can feel it in me waters"  "Two fits like that'd kill a horse" There's as many good expressions as there are tips in this one

The paper and cardboard props he made were a great way to explain things!

I'm 7mins into this video and can already tell this is one on the best woodworking vids I'm ever likely to see.

Never get tired of watching Jim, pure class. What a tradesman 👍👏👏👏👏

"a piece of figured sycamore so the grains all over the shop" 😂

Wonderful. Thank you.

What BEAUTIFUL tools!

He makes this look so easy.  Incredible craftsmanship.

What a PROPER tradesman

What an eye opener for me!! I can’t thank you enough for your videos.
No dust, no noise…..amazing. Thank you.

A real pleasure to see , listen and learn . Thank you .

First class craftsman, a joy to watch, thanks for the upload.

I used to have every number including the halves of these wooden planes. My boss wanted to buy the collection off me and offered me £2000. This was in 1981. I said no . Even though the money was over 8 months wages . I could have done with the money at the time as I was just a teenager. I didn't sell because my grandparents gifted the lot to me as he worked in Bosher builders of Wallingford during the 60s. My grandad died the day after his retirement. I lost the lot when my workshop I leased years later. The electric meter pulled from the wall and set alight the straw roof. Only my machines were insured.

Uncle Jim, what an absolute pleasure and joy to watch you .Jim you have just given me  the motivation to get back to my bench and shop. Rgds Bill  in Galway 🇮🇪

So good!

I love the sound that planes make creating shavings.

Better than any form of therapy…. These videos are pure relief
