Hals Wood Shop. Why do we build with the End in Mind....So that one Day our Children can Say " Our Father made this, and Smile ." Well Done.! Thanks for all the lessons here. I am 70 and have made a few smiles on the way..
Congratulations on bring a great project to the finish line! (Always love your inclusion of the "ooops" moments, and the resourceful solutions you apply as needed.)
I've made tons of Stickley furniture and yours is a great piece. The only thing I would have added would be to plane a diamond on the upright ends. But to each his own. Congrats.
Thanks Walter. I have a small chamfer on the top and bottom of the up rights. It was sort of a whim but it looked good to me so I stopped. If it were a chair or stool I would have gone with the more aggressive chamfer for comfort.
Tom… that came out exquisite! Final glueup always gives me the jitters. I practice once (and sometimes twice) on every glueup… I lay the parts out so they are in the proper orientation, practice clamping, gather the gluing stuff, square & tape… then take a break to visualize how easy it is gonna be. But, invariably there’s a dropped part… a glue drip in the worst place or, a part that gets stubborn when it swells from the glue! Congrats for surviving the build with an heirloom you can be proud of! PS… did you beat the clock?
Thanks Dave! Yes I beat the clock, sort of it went off when I was tapping the top side home. So the first pieces to get glue had been assembled for several minutes.
What a great project! I have learned something from each of the videos you have posted on this build. Thanks for showing and discussing the hand sanding blocks. I may have to seriously considering buying a set of these!
Congratulations, Tom. That turned out to be a magnificent piece of furniture. I'm sure it will be treasured by your family for generations to come. I genuinely enjoyed watching your progress and learned a lot from your videos. Thanks for taking us along on this journey.
A very good series of videos. I think I probably learned more from how you corrected mistakes as I did from your successes. Have a couple of ideas that were inspired from this series I may share later on. What are you planning for the future? Inquiring minds want to know.👍
Thanks Ron. I watch a lot of the furniture repair and refinishing channels and have learned a lot about how to deal with my mistakes from them. I have some tool reviews to do first but my next furniture project with be a reproduction of a Hans Wenger folding chair. I drew up the plans in Inkscape a long time ago just like I did for this book shelf. I am looking forward to learning how to tie the Danish cord seat.
It came out just great. Well done and thanks for sharing! A couple of comments: 1) you didn't tell use how long that timed section took; 2) are you heating your garage of do live somewhere it's warm in November?; 3) I don't remember that planer in the background from your Shop Tour video - it looks like it's in front of the garage door; 4) I would have found it interesting to see you sealing/staining the whole piece not just one side; 5) do you sign and/or date somewhere. Thanks again.
Thanks Berry, I appreciate the compliment! It an attached garage with a good insulated door. I run a small space heater to take the chill off. Yes, that’s a shopsmith thickness planner. It was the topic of my first video and appears frequently. Not enough people enjoy the finishing process to include it, unfortunately. I’m ordering a small engraved brass plate to glue to the bottom with the important details. Next few videos will be tool reviews then I will begin a Hans Wenger folding rope chair build.
That came out beautiful! Maybe I missed it but do you put your name (or logo) and date on the piece somewhere? I forgot when I made some of my furniture. Well, for you I guess you can go back to the video and find out when you made it. Your family, though, will appreciate your name and date on there for when you pass it down.

Tom,
Simply stunning what a wonderful piece. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Jim!
Dude, nice work. And good response to the slow-mo moment. I heard, "Release on schedule! Fig bugs later."
Thanks! Yeah turned out the piece I dropped was fine.
Wow! Looks great
Thank you! Cheers!
