      I was wondering, what you would say. Loved your take on the Windsor Chair too, Neil.

      Had to question my memory then! I thought, no it's Neil who made the chair. Great idea from two greats

    The biggest lesson for us, your CZcams audience: never stop learning. Thanks for sharing the experience!

    This brings back some memories of watching the woodwrights shop on PBS growing up. Roy Underhill is a ledgend

    That is a beautiful chair! You’re right though, when we have finished a project, the pleasure we get from saying “I made that” is sometimes immeasurable 😊

    I was waiting for the huge spray painted "Diresta" across the top of the seat!

    What a wonderful reward to be able to sit in your own built Windsor chair. Gorgeous.

    Seeing Jimmy on the school benches (the school rocking chairs I should say) is surprising. Who knew he still had more to learn.
    It was a superb video. Thank you craftsman 👍

    I attended a class at Greg's in 2022 and it was so so great. Watching this brought me right back. Great job and a fine looking chair Jimmy. P.S. I'll pay top dollar for the real time footage of Greg turning that leg!

  • @Bunk599
    @Bunk599 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Great. What a fantastic chair and process. Many clever tricks of the trade. In this day and age of CAD & CNC everything a chair handcrafted with skill and physical effort must be quite satisfying.....it is for me the viewer. Everything about the shop is charming and appropriate for the task.
