That was pretty cool. I've never watched anything like that before. Still lots of hand assembly.
And it gave me an idea to make an over the blade DC for my table saw using the riving knife. I was going to source one from Europe but they had one in what looked like fibre glass (probably over the original plastic) but I can make that...

Really unfortunate that the USA can't manufacture more products. All the furniture in that video was of good quality. I think a true journeyman program for woodworking with careers in this field would be of great benefit. I do think that American are less likely to purchase furniture in the style shown in this video. We certainly have the wood resources and space in the NW for something like this.
