There's two types of woodworking instructors: "here's the $10k of equipment you need to build a cabinet" and "eh, a butter knife will probably get the job done with enough patience"
It is very satisfying to watch videos of people doing woodworking with $10k worth of tools. But I wonder if it might also be satisfying to watch people who are very good at it do it with minimal tools.
@MegaMichelle I definitely prefer the latter! There's often so much ingenuity in those videos, so many "oh!" moments, that you just don't get from the "expensive workshop" videos.
I don't think I know how to find the "making things with simple tools" videos except, like, Primitive Technology.
@MegaMichelle Oh, I don't either - I just occasionally run across them and it makes my day :)

Oh yeah, there's this guy! He's going through the development of technology from scratch.
