    How to make wooden door latches with wooden springs; in this video Mr. Chickadee will show you how to make lovely useful door latches out of domestic hardwoods using traditional hand tools and techniques.
    We start with very hard and dry dogwood for our major components. Naturally elastic hickory makes the spring, and oak and ash wood finish out the pieces for the knob and axle rod.

    Watching how all those tools work makes them even more than just artifacts on my wall.

    Very interesting and informative. I enjoy these video tutorials that have no voice or music. It makes it easier to concentrate on the process of what you are doing! Thanks!

    Working with no more noise than absolutely nescessary. I like that, a lot.

    I have taught myself leatherworking, bookbinding, calligraphy and medieval illumination and cartography, mostly through trial and error...
    ... And whenever Mr. Chickadee puts out a new video, I always find myself put squarely back in my place.

      No one man is master of every craft. However, some come really close to master of several. There is always room for improvement and learning in every craft shop.

      Same. Haven’t seen any of his videos but I hope he has already shown the pull string knob. Works just as well and adds a lock to the end result too. You just pull the string in from inside the house and people outside can’t lift the lever anymore.

    Delightful watching something so intricate being made with hand tools - the only sounds being the razor-sharp blades and drills eating into the wood.

    It's said that, even Saying "Thank You" is a Choice. "Thank You" for Taking the Time and Showing people what a True Artist & Craftsman Looks Like.
    I just wanted to simply say, I'm Grateful.
    God Bless You & Your Family.

    Love this! Thank you so much. There's some other channels that use these expensive machines to make this stuff, which to me only makes them braggarts, cuz most of us cannot afford such machines. Blessings to you and yours.

    Dear Mr. Chickadee.
    Simply fantastic again and as always! I love good quality videos without any talking at all. The pure sounds of nature and working make them very meditational/meditative. Your impressive craftsmanship is very satisfying to watch additionally.
    Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards luck and health.

    You should make yourself a "shave-horse", (unless you already have and I've missed that video). Truly inspiring video, never thought of making a "wooden" spring for a door latch. As always, excellent video. Cheers :)

    I feel like after building houses out of wood, you start to look at wood, tools and joinery in a different way than a cabinet maker would

    • @daftnord4957
      @daftnord4957 4 роки тому +3

      traditional wood worker thinks more about finding a material thats as close the the finished product as possible. A modern worker can only make what his power tools can do, more about precision than hand working.

    That’s awesome and then some. Especially since it will latch on its own when closing.
    My Dad made a wooden latch for an A frame fort we had as kids built over an old swing set frame. It used rope to operate from the inside.
    It was made like the barn latches he had growing up in Newfoundland.
