one wonders how long it took a craftsman to make some of the fancier inlay projects in the seventeenth century when they didn't have the buzzing whirring whining roaring power tools...however they did have bussing whirring whining roaring.....wives......I didn't say that

beatiful paintings and examples of furnitaure but o how, i loved the last seconds, from 4:57 till the end.

[tucainga]

Thats art.

[townsville69]

And all the pieces you show'd were made with only a hand saw, hammer and screwdriver. True story......

Need copyright free music just pay that guy a nice sum I'm sure he wont mind.

The reason why craftmanship like that exist in those day was because King and Queens would pay them to live and craft for them. It didn't matter how long it took them to make it, it was the quality.

Today, everyone have to eat and time is money. No one is going to just pay you for your craftmanship until you're done with the project. So, project becomes a time budget which in result leads to lower craftmanship quality.

Something like the displayed stuff would take at least 2+ year to make

That furniture makes even the best furniture of today look like scrapwood. I absolutely love it. Thanks for posting this :)

[Virgil605]

That Stuff would take forever to build. You don't find craftsmanship like that anymore. Nowadays it's just CNC machined out of particle board.
