watching as tools techniques and components are brought together in active craftsmanship watch as a node is sanded as a ferrule is blued and as six hand-planed strips are glued into a hexagonal blank watch as a strip of cane emerges from a roughing beveler as an equilateral triangle in cross-section watch it over and over and each time you ll learn more using multiple cameras on take after take you ll see critical steps from numerous angles we engaged a dynamic videography team with 13 years experience producing educational videos to manage the filming lighting and sound plus the art craft

get each shot just so each day of shooting represents several days of shot preparation time spent outlining the narrative in short we ve made the effort to ensure that these videos are professional in
