The work looks beautiful!! Just one question what do the mirrors help when making the holes?
12 minutes in heaven... Thank you guys for this cinematic masterpiece
I’ve been a furniture maker for over 60 years. I’ve always considered myself a craftsman. You, sir, are a true craftsman. I feel like a piker.
60 лет в деле - моё почтение!
When I first read the word "Maestro" I had my doubts. It didn't take long to dispell that doubt. This is simply a beautiful follow-up to Sam Maloof's Rocking Chair. I am blown away. My own fourty years of cabinet and restoration work have made me hard to please, but here we are in a true Master's workshop. A joy to watch.
Warm greetings from France.
Wow, thank you!
@ProcessMaestroChannel
Well deserved praise dear Sir.
My full respects.
This video is well done in so many respects: in content, in craftsmanship, in visual aesthetics, in pace, in videography,… 🧡
The mirrors for rake and splay: fascinating! I need to know more.
My intention is to build a Windsor once I’ve finished my shave horse. This video is both inspiration and clarity. I will watch it again and again. Extraordinary.
Thank you.
@ProcessMaestroChannel Thank you very much creating these stunning videos. They showcase the potential of human skill and knowledge and make sure that some of it is preserved for future generations!
Salute to craftsmen.
That drawknife looks insanely sharp, it must be wonderful to work with.
Nice work!
Absolutely the finest craftsmanship goes into every single detail. Outstanding work!
Thank you for sharing your skills.
Thank you very much!
No words to express my respect and admiration for your skills! 🏆💗
This is what I consider an artist at work,excellent!.
I'm a metal fabricator, the use of such modern tech to make a timeless classic may be frowned upon. You have Only to look at skills and the ultimate outcomes to see true skill regardless of the tools.
This is a true work of art, often on youtube you expect to see even professionals cut corners, but this video was just perfect, in terms of every fine detail, hats off!
Great to see my dad’s video!
Hope you enjoyed it! ❤️🤞🏼
Desde Argentina mis respeto al sr artesano muchos años de experiencia se nota x la calidad del trabajo y pasión se traslada ala obra de arte congratulations
Tom, your Dad is an absolute champion. What he and your mum have done for so many tradesman/women is truely remarkable. We also enjoy seeing you at the fairs, beside your Dad, working together.
Please tell your Dad to do his own UA-cam. He can reach the world then (and not even leave home).

Hermosa silla Windsor fan-back, este diseño está cumpliendo 314 años, hecha en la nobleza del Nogal (Walnut) australiano, la sutileza de la silueta de la curvatura de los rayos, es sencillamente hermosa, gracias Sr. Glen Rundell por compartir un video de calidad y la elaboración de una pieza de calidad, quizas yo nunca llegue a tener una pieza de esta naturaleza, pero si logré ver su belleza.
Phenomenal. Great techniques. Traditional Windsor through the old and the new. You are a rare craftsman, sir. Thank you.
I love the sentiment expressed on his green top KNOWLEDGE NOT SHARED, IS KNOWLEDGE LOST. And the beauty of his work is a pleasure to see, so thanks for an interesting video. Ian

What kind of wood is that you’re using for that chair? It’s beautiful and your craftsmanship is excellent!
Fantastic work. Very interesting trick with the mirrors to drill at the right angle. I thought there would be a jig for that but no, just steady hands.
Que trabalho extraordinário.
Ein Meister seines Werks.
Uma verdadeira obra de arte. Meus parabéns pelo excelente trabalho que você fez 👏👏👏

Очень красивый стул и очень красивая текстура древесины, грамотно подобронна.Скажите пожалуйста ,а что это за порода древесины?

Oh what lovely tools, let me lose in there. My little pokie shop has nothing to compare to there
What is a walnut tree?
Awesome. The industrial revolution killed the craftsman, for the most part. Love the Froe, I have 2.
What kind of tree is this and what is the name of this tree?

sad fact watching these types of videos is that younger digital overloaded generations could care less about a lifetime of learning to get to a point of being a craftsman/ journeyman I myself spent 35 years as a trim carpenter/millwork installer in commercial construction and saw the amount of younger men and women get smaller and smaller as I got closer to retirement and yes I think that what I know will be lost
In a way maybe what doesn't help is mass produced furniture. Where I am there just isn't much market for carefully crafted hand made stuff as most people will just go to Ikea and pick up a set of 6 chairs for a tenner. As most furniture is seemingly produced and shipped in from Asia there is less opportunity to learn the craft and actually earn a good living from it
Younger men and women will be drawn to true craftsmanship. Don't forget many younger generations buy vinyl records.
There is much better way to achieve these results!
All that work for a glued butt joint?
P.s you should be passing on your skills to the next generation.
