I attended a workshop you had in Atlanta Ga., some 30 years ago. I'm sure you remember that time because President Jimmy Carter attended that session. Glad to see you keep your passion alive. Best to ya
Thank you so much for this tutorial series, the content is excellent, the instructions are very clear and the bonus will be when we create the finished product for ourselves.
Fantastic!! I'm retired army and fantastically enjoy watching your videos!!! Tremendous Appreciation for you sharing your skills and knowledge here!!! Thank You!!!
G'day, admired the leaving of the skill signature of the spokeshave traces. These, along with other character marks, will contribute to the building story of the chair for others into the future
Hi Mike Marcel here form Nova Scotia was there with my daughter in Big Truck with cab This Video makes me want to make another chair. I have a beautiful forest with huge pine trees and a portable mill and your video has inspired me to do a chair with sone in law and grandson. Thanks
great video. the way you make the chair is very tasty. leaving the the marks of the hand tools is gorgeous. nowadays we need to see these marks. i loved !!! 100
Cannot think of many better times than when I got to work with Mike Dunbar and learn chair making. Now I am going to do it again! Oh boy, oh boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took a couple of your classes several years ago - really enjoyed them. After which made about a dozen more chairs. Great video series, has me in the mood to make a few more. Hope you're enjoying retirement.
Have you tried eBay or antique tool sites? Good tools are expensive. However, you will have them all your life and will leave them to future generations.
@@thewindsorinstitute2047 Great point! eBay is pretty expensive, and the quality is hit or miss. I think what gets complicated is that I'm not sure I'll want to invest a ton of money into specialized tools before I try it. But to give it a good try, I need to use decent tools. :) But the way you explain it sounds right. This is the way. I'm going to start quietly tool shopping on my cell phone. Thank you for taking the time! That helped a lot.
@@thewindsorinstitute2047 Loved this video. Took you class several years, am still making your chairs in Worcester. Great refresher course, I always learn something new. Isn't retirement great Mike?
Best video out there, Thank you Mike

Thank you, Mike. I appreciate your detailed description s & procedures
Spent the first ten minutes of the video trying to find a gutter adze for under $200. Failed. Now learning a lot about the scorp market...woof.

Beautiful! but isn't there a stage for using contour scrapers , in between travisher and sanding?
The seat is made of pine. It is soft and does not scrape cleanly.
do you have any skilled people near or in San Diego? Id like to be able to do a hands-on many classes to do and finish a chair !
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Could this be done without a compass plane? Meaning just with an adze, a scorp and a travisher?
You can do without the compass plane. The one I am using was made by Crown Plane - www.crownplane.com/
Fantastic video! What's the name of the tool you're using at 7:40 ?
That's a draw knife. You'll see me use it a lot, especially when making spindles and the bow. I also use it to make wedges.
Mike how long do you trim the length of the gutter adz handle? Excellent video once again! Can't wait till next week!
The handle on the adze I am using in the video is 22 inches.
