all amazing
the product
the techniques
the tools
the skills

and maybe they most amazing is the ability to do that day in and
day out for many years and maintain the desire and quality


one side note
the stewardship of their forests is remarkable

they do import some lumber too but they carefully manage their natural
wood resources

Well Stated and noted.
I was the North American Engineering Manager for a '3-diamond' (red)
company and some of the senior staff dabbled in some of this training
for retirement. Some of the secret boxes - slides and trap doors in
this beautiful craft shakes the wood working down to your toes.

Look at the end of the show and the elder man power with the shaving
tool was something. Years of use builds just the muscles needed.

Amazing! I wonder how the actual boxes are built.

They import a boat load of the best American veneers for their plywoods.

making those thin veneers requires strength as you say plus the plane
has to have the perfect consistent sharpness

plus on the ground cross legged which seems to me a feat as well
