  • Hard to imagine such beauty occurs naturally within a tree! This highly figured wlanut and curly maple wood was very challenging to work, swirling diving grain really needed gentle passes with a tight cap iron for sure, but well worth it.
    Thanks to Pat and Chris for the wood, you guys are great!

    I'm so glad CZcams offered closed captions for this video... the saw was described as [Music], the coping saw was [Laughter], and the hammer was [Applause]. CZcams appreciates art.

      Scott Barber... Your obsevation brought strong to mind a couple a fitting quotes. Thank's for stirrin 'em up.
      "To be a master of metaphor," Aristotle wrote in his Poetics, "is the greatest thing by far. It is the one thing that cannot be learnt from others, and it is also a sign of genius." &

    Boy, it's really easy to get lost in life's troubles. I asked you about your favorite saw on Instagram today, and long story short, your reply brought me back to this video. I found you a long time ago before my wife and I embarked on our homestead lifestyle, and I watched all of your videos back then. I still follow you on all platforms, but I've been disconnected for years. We're off grid now and doing well......but I have completely lost sight of what my vision was. This has brought me back to it. Iron truly does sharpen iron. Thank you, sir. Keep up the vision...

    Having done hand-sawn dovetails myself; I really enjoyed watching your techniques in this project. Also the fact that no glues or other adhesives were used in its assembly was interesting. The way the finish emphasised the colours of the two diffenent materials was very nice to see as well. Many congratulations.

    And what a pleasure to see what you made out of it.

  • @JoelWetzel
    @JoelWetzel Před 4 lety +2

    I watched your Q&A and was left with two questions: where do you get/earn money and what form of sewage system do you have? You're an inspiration and live up to your goal of showing what people are capable of. I was surprised you'd not grown up as a woodworker but not that you've learned it so well. I have most of the power tools but am working more with my hand tools over the past years so finding your channel came at a great time for me. Peace to you and yours. Thank you.

    If I had 6 months to practice, I don't think I could take a rip saw and rip a board that straightly. Amazing and beautiful to watch. Same reason I could watch Roy Underhill all day (I even like how he breathlessly laughs at his own jokes) - amazing work with handsaws.

    • @MrChickadee
      @MrChickadee  Před 5 lety +1

      Dont be hard on yourself, im sure you could do better than me. It helps to go corner to corner, flip and repeat and back and forth to stay on the line.

  • @chuckholton4666
    @chuckholton4666 Před 5 lety +3

    The beauty of your workmanship and just the sounds of the tools really compliment the natural beauty of the wood. Another stunning piece! Watching you is inspiring me towards giving up all of my power tools. There is nothing more that I crave than the peaceful, quiet sounds of a simplistic life.

    Two beautiful woods coming together in contrasting harmony. For my woodworking walnut is more precious than gold so my wife knows when I'm making her something. Amazing work Mr. Chickadee. Ever since I found your channel you have inspired me to keep on with my woodworking.

  • @georgerrust4087
    @georgerrust4087 Před 5 lety

    Your talents are far beyond just a tradesman, you are true artist in wood. I so much enjoy your videos especially because you don't talk. Its like working with the old timers from our trades in the early years when I work in wood-framing crews, trimmers and such and don't need to be told how its done. I get full and complete enjoyment watching you work while I get to listen to Rush Limbaugh talk. Its great! So many of the CZcams presenters can't stop talking and talking down to their audiences. Its like they think we are all a bunch of female-never worked a day in our lives- Libs, Not you....Rock On Mr. Chickadee.

    Mr. Chickadee, I watch your videos like I was watching a myth or fairy tale; that you live somewhere in the Southern Forests of America, unknown to anyone but a select few, like Santa Claus or Enchanted Elves, pure and unspoiled, refusing to live like the rest, undying in your traditions. You and Tom Fagen, watching your videos is pure meditation...rr Normandy, Fr.

    The walnut is absolutely superb and I like the grain of the maple even better than bird's eye! When I lived in the Mississippi river valley I had access to a lot of good, tight-grained walnut and it is a dream to work with it. I admire the sharpness of your tools....seems a sharp tool rarely cuts you...it is the dull one that you end up putting too much pressure on that do the harm. You can't impress that on some guys. The handle on the box was just the icing on the cake!

    That's right, what wood grain has, something you can see first. When you process the wood, smile something is always a surprise. What I think is great, so that each piece of wood looks different.
