anyone have an idea of what the red marks are edited onto the video?
I believe the red marks edited into the video are suppose to show the viewer what the marks on the actual timber look like. They represent the marks we can't clearly see, but they are there and should show when closely inspected.
Whatever you do, have fun doing it!

I took it to be that for some reason, they chose to highlight ax blows.

Hi everyone
I just had to comment here that for many years I cut good tight tenons with a carpenters adze, even shaping the ends of large tusk tenons and many other mundane jobs just pops up during the fitting process.
Using the adze is not for everyone but when mastered and you become familiar with your handle and adze head the finished product will be pleasingly smooth, extremely close to the line, and work will progress quickly.

likewise- it's a toss up between a slick and an adze for fitting. i like how one can just bump the adze against a face and get the littlest bit off. the adze has more 'gears' than most other tools, short of axes and chainsaws. and it's easier on the back.

What is a carpenter's adze? A picture would be nice.
Life is short so put your heart into something that will last a long time.

to my understanding a carpenter's adze would be a regular old flat bladed adze, distinguished from a shipbuilders aze which would have a slight curve to the cutting edge, or a lipped adze with raised edges, or a gutter adze which has a real scoop- for gutters or lateral grooves.

[quote=Mark Davidson]Here are some pics of a brace making session we had today, using adze, axe and chainsaw to shape 4 braces at once. These braces all came out of the same 10 ft log. Thanks to Raff for some great energy and inspiration.  that is a great idea. for the layout of that curve i've traced the curve from the adze handle, which happens to be just right. mark- i covet your scoring axe
