I'm a fan on Craig Stevens since I attended a week long class of his. I admire his philosophy and focus on detail rather than,as Craig says, just making more pieces. Great work on the video.

I have started reading a few of James Krenov’s books – there is so much to learn. Eventually, I, like many people I’m guessing, want to be able to build this kind of furniture.

I remember reading James Krenov's books many years ago and being impressed with his love of wood and the process of creating something fine from it. This video was just like being in Krenov's shop. There was the pear wood, there were the wooden hand planes (although these were Japanese) and there was the cabinet on tall legs. What I especially liked about the video was the emphasis on quality, both of the woodworker <em>(Craig Vandall Stevens - ed.)</em> and of the video itself. It was both entertaining and educational.

I would love to see a video on Craig taking one of those rough slabs in the yard and bringing it down to finished state. Outstanding craftsmanship in both the shop and the production.

I've appreciated the videos featuring CVS so far, so this was a good follow-up. I'm also a budding fan of Japanese tools. As an aside, I have to say excellent job on the production side of these videos. Your editing is top-notch! This doesn't feel like a video blog, but rather a woodworking TV show made available on the web. Nice video. I’ve appreciated the videos featuring CVS so far, so this was a good follow-up.
