    they do not have a website. you need to call in to place an order.

      Does he do other chair styles? I figure it would help to have that answer here rather than a bunch of us phoning to find out. Thanks!

      they are all Windsor chairs but there are a few options and he does offer a bench as well.

    Great project James. When I made my own Windsor chair from a tree, I had a good results with J.E.Moser's "Genuine Old-Fashioned" powered milk paint. It has a great shelf life, you only mix what you need and it's wonderful to apply. I've never had any issues with applying it and they have a lot of traditional colors. I put a base color of barn red and then an overcoat of black. I finished with paste wax and the chair looks beautiful and has aged very nicely these past few years (I made the chair in 2015).

    Nice kit, card scrapers are just dandy! A lot of folks just don't understand how great they are specially on knots n squirrelly grain!

    Colonial Homestead Windsor chair kits are a fun build and you're not all in financially and time wise. Quality parts from a knowledgeable chair maker. Worth the money.

    I live near Windsor and that is the nearest I am going to get to making a chair. LOL. Not my idea of a fun project and way beyond my skill level. Like the kit though. Ikea here we come. Oops! I have made a few Viking chairs and they are so cool, I would love to see how you carve one of those James!

    10:55 Haha, that grin! Looks awesome James! I can imagine me putting together a kit like you did, but I have neither the skills nor the tools to make all those intricate parts! But I bet you could make one from scratch?

    Hey James ! Nice project witch makes me think of 2 things . What hapened with your chairs that you’ve ordered from Matt ? The other thing is when are we going to see your wife working on her bench ?
    Thx for sharing and have a wonderfull day 👋🏻😜🇨🇦

    Making a chair is no easier than a dining table. They have rough the same amount of parts and joineries, but chairs require higher precision.

    • @WoodByWrightHowTo
      @WoodByWrightHowTo  2 роки тому

      And you usually end up making a half dozen chairs and only one table.

  • @professor62

    The chair looks great, James. Although I must say I would love to see you build one from scratch, where you would use all those cool spoon bits and such. (If you need any of those bits, just hit me up!) One question though: is it possible to make a Windsor chair without a lathe? Thanks for the video!

    • @WoodByWrightHowTo
      @WoodByWrightHowTo  2 роки тому

      Sure I have seen them made with octagonal spindles.

    • @peterjf7723
      @peterjf7723 2 роки тому +1

      Historically the legs and spindles would have been turned from unseasoned wood using a bodgers pole lathe.

    Nice review James, thank you. I'm of the same mind. I like the look of a well made Windsor chair but I'm not particularly interested in making one. Its always seemed like you could spend your entire lifetime just making those. But I could be tempted with a kit. And coincidentally I am finishing up a new kitchen table that could use 4 chairs.
    One question. Any idea how long it took to do the assembly and finish prep? Just curious.
    Thank you sir!

    • @WoodByWrightHowTo
      @WoodByWrightHowTo  2 роки тому +1

      The whole thing from kit to finish was around 6 hours of work for me.

  • @JeanMinutile
    @JeanMinutile 2 роки тому +1

    Somehow the chairs are what is preventing me from building a dinning table!!! The fact that I doesn't have much time with a full time job and 2 young boys doesn't help either!!!

    • @WoodByWrightHowTo

      that is what I ran into. also the reason I purchased Kits for my dining room table.

    Ever considered mixing some pigment into the BLO?

      Yes. I have done that a few times. That is a traditional way to make a stain.

  • @philaandrew100
    @philaandrew100 2 роки тому +1

    Noice chair!. Why didn't you spritz the frozen joint, warm it with a heat gun to re melt the glue and tap it all the way in with a bigger whackenshmakka? Not that it matters, just my OCD would keep me awake for the next ten years thinking about it😂

    • @WoodByWrightHowTo
      @WoodByWrightHowTo  2 роки тому

      Unfortunately it is not that easy. I would have to loosen all the joints on the top and the one bow end. And reversing hide glue is an extremely difficult task to get into the center of the joint.

    • @philaandrew100
      @philaandrew100 2 роки тому +1

      I see your point. Having had a lot of experience with HHG over my 30 plus years of Luthiery it can be a bit of a challenge to rework it. I have had to resort to heat lamps, steam and colourful language a few times to make it let go.. But yeah, on a chair it really isn't that big of an issue as in this case it doesn't effect the functionality or safety of the chair and as you said, no one would be likely to ever spot it. Chalk that one up as not a mistake but a feature.😊

    You do good work, but your taste in colors . . .

    • @WoodByWrightHowTo

      Surprisingly, that was the most common milk paint color for Windsor chairs.

    • @SkylersRants

      I am not a fan of milk paint. But I had to stick with tradition.
