    Interesting video from 1912 at a known french school of woodworking.
    From 5’40 we can see the technique used for a tenon. At 5’55 the student uses i think a saw which looks like a plane.

    Thanks for posting. That’s fascinating. A lot of skill showed there and some time honoured techniques that WWMC fans would recognise.

    Also some more unusual things including:

    Slightly different mortice chisel technique, levering with the bevel toward himself.

    The Horizontal saw plane thing that looked a bit like a giant kerfing plane. Now I want one.

    Terrifying spindle moulder looking thing. Don’t want one, thanks.

    Kind of surprising how well-dressed everyone is. Neckties and pomades all around the workshop.
