There is something to be said about people who use their hands. Exceptional clean lines and design. I always look forward when the stain/oil is applied. Very therapeutic creating from nature.

NIce use of woods: the walnut seat and back contrast nicely with the lighter woods. I also love that in this chair style you can give soft curves and yet produce the piece without the very time consuming hand shaping. I appreciate the fact that this is a nice chair that would not cost an absolute fortune.

I also like the Kutzall on an angle grinder also to do concave work. Also, using the bridle joints is an elegant and strong way to go.

What is the finish?

Great job!

Loved your furniture ever since the 2005 MercNews article - sweet video.

The joinery is just - amazing. I love your choice (& why) of walnut, cherry, & maple - I keep thinking you should make a flag (I joke!) ;-)

I've been working on a stool for my shop - the angle grinder for scooping the seat got me thinking (I've been using a surform and scrapers). But I was surprised that you went from plane to ROS and belt - do you do a final scrape?

Thanks - would love to visit the shop someday - AC

thanks for the compliments... to answer your question... some of the milling shots were edited out of sequence (the filmmaker is not a woodworker). The normal order is: power plane, hand plane, planer, and then the glue-up. Of course, that was before I got a 16" jointer. I can skip a bunch of those steps now.

I don't usually scrape at the end -too easy to tear out over funky grain. Just ROS and then some sanding by hand at the 320/400 grit stages.

Thanks again for the interest and kindness.

Gorgious! Why are not all videos so decently produced !

The discipline imposed by the cost of film is gone.

Thanks for the Video and Music. I appreciate it and have shared it with many.

I appreciate the craftsmanship found both in the film making and the woodworking. They complement one another quite well.

From whom do you draw inspiration a.)stylistically and b.) philosophically in terms of craftsmanship?

[meridianfrost]

Excellent work. Not particularly fond of modern work, but you executed it masterfully. Well done.
