Making a big entrance door without a DF700 or a TS75? One Indonesian Way

His circular saw and jig seem pretty versatile. (But I dare not use the table saw (circular saw mounted upside down) the way he does.)

goes to show what you can do with basic tools and a lot of skill!

Ah, nothing the feel of sawdust between your toes as you woodwork!

Well, he has some serious machinery right there for a "basic tools" guy.

What is interesting to note is the combination - LOTS of jigs and a very good understanding of the priorities on tools:
- industrial jointer
- industrial thicknesser
- industrial drill press for tenon joinery
- pretty good Makita hand planer
- basic but good Maktec/Makita circular saw and router
- cheapest clamps and jigs from scrap (why not)

This is not just skill there. It is the combined experience of a well-established wood shop. I would guess that over there the good old apprenticeship is still a thing. And it shows.

EDIT:
Ah, and the most important: A proper pile of well-dried wood.
Those boards were most likely dried for a couple years in the shop storage. No fast-and-furious stuff from drying machines. A proper seasoned wood that took its time.

On the down side he patches all joints with wood patty. Something you'll have to do if you freehand tenon shoulders with a circular saw, no matter how skilled. Also plains the entire frame, because all joints are misaligned.
Not to dismiss the skills. After all he just balances cost, time, and customer needs.

Thats standard Florida shop attire to.  I call socks with slides "florida work boots."

What an astonishing video.

Not much dust collection, but fantastic to watch.
