The Secrets of the Leg Vise Revealed!!

Enjoy...

If you watch very closely at the 0:11 to approximately 00:13 second mark, you may just see for yourself the secrets finally revealed of the traditional leg vise. So, this is what the 'experts' were talking about, in all of the fancy magazines all of this time!
Seriously though...Imagine working wood in this way; relaxed, focused and at perfect ease with the wood, the tool and the joinery. Incredible...
We all can learn something from this, regardless of the work you do.
Cheers!

Will...

Or Hector, as some may know him...

This small oak tree was featured in an earlier posting a little while back. I planted it in my garden back on Cape Breton Island. Two tiny saplings were a gift from a friend who passed away suddenly this past week. When I was very young he and my father would take me on long hikes, deep into the heart of the Island fishing trout from fresh mountain streams. This is not a goodbye, but until we fish again...peace.
