Questions about Season 1, Episode 1, the oak medicine cabinet:
1) Does he really need to nail on the face frame? Won't the glue hold
it in place?
2) Does he need the dowels to hold his thru-tenon on the door? Won't
the glue alone hold that joint place also?

I would be inclined just to use glue, but maybe I'm wrong about that.

If had a nickel for every time he said "to hold in place while the glue
dries"!*

I always figured a lot of his tool and production choices were driven by
the fact that he had tool sponsors who wanted (as in expected/demanded)
their tools be front and foremost to continue the financial backing...

Yeah but if you are actually selling your work and or trying to make a
living you would be using a nail gun too. I do. ;~)

While not using a nail gun or similar short cut tool is nothing any of
us want to do, it saves time and time is.......money..

This topic kills me, I was just reading an email about a young man,
son of a carpenter/WW who has 20 years experience he says and
Woodcraft Mag, I think it is, who posted his video's, an overall one
for the project, combined with a series of videos on the work broken
down to see exactly how he did it.

He purportedly uses all hand tools and is a skilled craftsman. I
watched the overall video just to see, and he was using all powered
hand tools. Not that I blame him, and his chair, while unusual looked
decent. I saw the flaws he made and covered up. Which everyone does
from time to time, but "Hand tooled Craftsmanship"?

He also has links to all the tools he used.
