        I like it that when he's done turning the spindles, they come out fully finished too !

        Btw, what sort of plane is he using (at 1:45)? Seems to be able to adapt to different curve settings.

          There are different styles and types for doing curves. Here is one that is adjustable.

              I have a feeling he really needed that rocker when he was done.

                Lee hit it on the plane, but his appears to be an original Stanley 113. It will also adjust for a concave surface.

                  I dunno… He works so fast, I'm surprised he hasn't lost a finger. Impressive use of The Force, though.

                    I think he used both concave and convex configurations on the two surfaces of the rockers but it was so fast it was hard to tell. Great video!

                      I think in straight lines, but dream in curves
