I’m well aware of chair bodgers. I collect and use tools from the mid1800s to about the 1920s.
I built my own shave horse to use with my draw knives. I don’t have an image of the one I built, but here is an image of a shave horse to give you an idea. They are all the same in general looks and function, but it seems no two are ever exactly alike.

Next on my to-do list is to make a treadle lathe.
I’ll have to watch the video again to see if they were using carpenter’s hatchets or just regular hatchets to rough the legs. I have a small and a medium carpenter’s hatchet. They do not taper up evenly from both sides of the blade. One side is flat, and the handle is offset so you can use it somewhat like a chisel, but not as fine and it removes a lot of material.
Here’s a top view of a carpenter’s hatchet where you can see the flat side and the offset handle.

I am a retired manufacturing engineer who sought out the best high-tech processes and equipment for the companies I worked for.
In retirement, I am enjoying the non-electrically powered lower tech of our forebears a) because it’s fun and interesting, 2) the tools are beautiful and of a quality and feel rarely seen nowadays, and iii) if the SHTF and there is no more electricity available to me, I just won’t care.
This is probably worth a heading of its own and courtesy of the Gateway Pundit here is a speech given by a retired doctor in Australia about the the Covid injections.

Re bold artistic breakthru,
Ina Gadda Da Vida by Iron butterfly is 17 minutes long.
Sorry, TS, 10 minutes might seem like “longest song evah” to 12 year old girls,
but not to old timers like myself.
