- In this video chair making with hand tools, i make a welsh stick chair , with some windsor chair feel to it, out of scraps and things I have lying around. this is not a tutorial, this is me managing with the tools, material and knowledge I have to hand. And yes, I am aware I used a cordless drill, I don't own a drill extension for the brace and bit, which is why I used the cordless drill.

Good stuff mate .really nice chair. I have recently started making this style of chair. I really enjoy the process of carving the legs and spindles using draw knife and spoke shave. It's a muscle work out and a peaceful place. No tools ,no dust just the joy of personal achievement and expression of your art.
@@geoffb108 thanks mate, yeah totally agree. It's hard work but very rewarding and a peaceful escape from modern day life.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate your time 👍
Beautiful chair and good example of using minimal tools and workbench. A little disappointed at the gas powered flush trim saw at the very end though! ;)
Thanks man, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Thank you for a wonderful video - and inspiration to go into this kind of chair wood craft! Viewer from Thailand/ Respect/Tony.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it 👍
This is what we need more of. Just doing, not talking. I applaud your content sir
Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Awesome.
Thanking you 👍
Excellent work. Best use of a low bench ever! I shared this to a group I’m in. This deserves way more views. I wish you had narrated some of the steps. Going back to watch it again. Thanks.
Thank you, I appreciate your time 👍
lovely job
Thanking you.
Amazing craftsmanship with such simple tools. Bloody well done mate 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching mate 👍
Very nice!
Thanks man 👍
Watching you cut that curved armbow with that pull saw was something else! I would never thought you could get such a nice curve that way. Thanks for sharing your process!
Thanks for watching.
Huge respect to you, sir. We can all look up to you and learn from you. You must have a load of satisfaction from this terrific project.
Thank you sir for watching. It's very satisfying making furniture, and it keeps me out of mischief!
Classic work. I like the string guide for boring.
Thank you.
Very nice chair. Well done! Actually you are the reason I am into woodworking. I wanted to make a DIY wooden paralletes and the second video was yours. It was a shock as a whole new world opened in front of me. A silent world of hand tools. Thank you.
Thank you, and thanks for watching.
Nice work David. Were you using a travisher to saddle the seat? I saw you tearing some nice big chunks out there, but couldn't see what was in your hand.
I need to glue up some seat blanks to get started on one of my own. The seat blank you have here looks huge! I thought Lost Art Press called for ~ 16x17", but I may be thinking of the side-chair instead.
Thank you, yeah, it was a travisher.
I keep coming back, for the chair and how you did it with the bench. Thank you.
Thanks man. Hopefully there be a democratic chair in the near future.
Absolutely superb workmanship....thank you
Thanks for watching, I appreciate your time.
Respect
Nice, i will make one.
Fantastic!!!
Thank you.
beautiful job man, thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
Excellent work, lovely build.
Thank you.

Very interesting process and great looking chair at the end. Nice one! 👍👍
Thanks very much.
Great build, chair looks great! What kind of wood did you use?
Thank you, it's was all scraps of oak. Not very traditional but, I used what I had.
Most excellent chair built video, what was the time frame to build it? 🥰 🇺🇸
Thank you, I'm not sure of the timeframe, I built it at my own leisure.
Great stuff, as ever. Any thoughts on making yourself a pole lathe? Watching you make the legs, I had a thought that a knock-down pole lathe might suit your style. All the best, Terry
Thank you. I've been wanting to build one for ages. It's on the to do list, but when I get around to making it is another story 😂
That's very handsome indeed. By the way, what tool are you using at 15.38 sec ? It certainly takes wood off well.
Thanking you sir. That's a travisher set fairly course.
@@DW_woodworks Thanks for getting back to me on that. One other thing I've wondered; do you think a three legged Roman bench, you know, the milking stool principle, would work or would the length of it make it unstable. I envisage myself sitting at the two-leg end, chopping mortices
over the one-leg end, the whole thing being no longer than about five feet. I like working outside when I can so the fact that it wouldn't rock about on uneven ground would be good. All the best.
I have one, and it does work to a degree. The issues I encountered or limitations were, the width is better suited around 12", rather than my preferred 16". The bench should be around 4.5'. kneeling on one side (width ways) near the single leg can tip the bench.
With all that being said, and taking the above into consideration, I have built furniture on the bench. I quickly learned that certain tasks had to be carried out differently, due to only 3 legs but, as I said, it's very possible to build furniture on the bench.
@@DW_woodworks Thanks for your reply. I want quite a short bench, so I'll try with three legs. At the end of the day it's not a big deal to saw off the single leg and install two instead if it doesn't work out well. All the best.
Great video to watch. How long did it all take in real time. Liked subscribed, and shared.😃 from Jim Sear, sash window restorer.
Thank you, I'm sure how long it took, I was doing things in-between, and never logged the hours.
I like that reamer for the brace drill. It looks a bit different from the vintage models I see on ebay. Have any specs on it and/or where I can find one?
It's a Veritas reamer. I think there pretty easy to get a hold of. A quick Google search should sort you out.
what tool was used at 15:42 to remove alot from the seat? just a scraper? Thanks for this video.
That's a type of travisher.
Great skills, beautiful work, but why this synthetic glue?
Thank you, it was the only glue I had, and I didn't want to buy any hide glue.
