It's his 9yr old son if it's him filming and watching his father that I feel sorry for what a way to learn ... the wrong and most dangerous way ... the lad would be kicked out of wood shop if he tried that at School .. maybe it's the norm in the States.

it takes watching too be sure. He went so far as to say his son sanded it to finish, wonder how.
A look through some of the videos posted show some very dangerous and mindless behavior, like a lathe run off the drive axle of their vehicle and the sharpened end of a piece of box section as a cutting tool ... Canada if I recall, not one to post.
