It can help. It's called a Jointer! The rest of the craftsmanship is on the user though.

I don't get it
Article says "takes around six months t complete, at a work rate of 10 to 12 hours a day, with no days off. " And apparently he doesn't sell them.
How does he eat and keep the heat on? Personally, I have to buy food and keep the house reasonably warm (but not the shop) and it takes money. I didn't think Mother Russia guaranteed anything to anyone anymore.
Still, that is just some pretty amazing work. My wood chips always end up looking like a pile of wood chips. Maybe I could spray it with poly and call it abstract art??
