Nimble fingers & a great vice consisting of leg & rope.

What I really like is this video production style, and how it matches others in this thread.

Me too, almost like they are shot and edited professionally, yet have a simplistic feel because of the content.

I liked the rope vice and that somebody figured out (visualized) prior how to make all those cuts. Also noted he use the plane blade by hand for the center section.

Thanks Jon. Good eye!

I like the loop of rope and foot way of holding it down.

Interesting to me that he uses a western push-type saw rather than a Japanese pull-type saw.

The writing on the screen looks like Chinese, not Japanese.

He makes some plunge cuts with the saw. That would be difficult to do with a pull saw.

He also uses a push plane at the beginning of the video. I think Japanese planes are pull planes, as evidenced by this video...
