Salko I think it really is that simple. Like I said it may not be simple to do, and the techniques involved are the craft, and mastery of it. A journey of years I’m sure. But in the most simple of projects Paul has laid a path for the most complex. I’ve been at this from the power tool side of things for years and got lost in the setup and complexity. I never thought of it until it was distilled into the most simple project with the most simple tools. As woodworkers, at its most basic level we cut to a line that we’ve marked. The lines may be complex the assembly may be complex but that first step is always there. Stringing them into something meaningful, useful, or beautiful is the art and mastery.
Leonardo DaVinci is quoted as saying “simplification is the ultimate sophistication” I think Paul’s teaching can set us on that path.
