You make it look so easy. Cutting with a circular saw without a guide on two sides and yet getting a perfect fitting joint. Amazing work.

Love these vids. Strait to the point, no BS. On top of that no silly background music or making it unusually hard by doing it the "old" way. Just simple, clean, and very well done. Just like a common person would in their shop.

I've been a carpenter for 29 years. Residential and commercial work, never worked on timber frame though. This is a video showing an extremely ingenious and complex joint, done by a true master craftsman. Excellent video!

The ceiling beams in my house use this scarf joint. It was the first time I had seen them, I spent a good hour analyzing them. It’s pretty neat how they work

Now, THAT'S how you make a video! No talk. You just did it. Thanks. I enjoyed watching you work.

I love your energetic and vigorous approach to your work! Appropriate for a big joint like that. I made a much bigger one to join two oak beams in my converted barn an used a chainsaw to hog out. It turned out good but the method you use looks way quicker. Thanks : )

Alway have been fascinated by timber framed houses and barns. It's amazin to see them still standing after all this time!(not too many still around though!)

Beautiful joint. I liked how you made the final fit by pressing the pieces together and sawing between them.

Very cool piece. Thanks for not dubbing cheesy, stock, YouTube music behind it. So many useful videos that I'd like to watch, but I just can't handle the production. Hope you make more woodworking videos. Really enjoyable.

The crisp sounds of the pencil writing, the materials and the silent. His hands are those of a true carpenter.
