      It was actually pretty impressive when filming how quickly Peter could get some of the elements together. Obviously some of it took a long time too though!

    I always wondered how to get furniture with four legs perfectly even. This is so simple and genius, I will use that for sure in some future project. Thanks, I absolutely loved watching you work!

    Enjoyed your video. I have a stack of logs I have saved for green chair making. Can you process the spindles and legs beforehand and inventory them? I’m a bit concerned about the viability of the logs between now and when I am ready to use them. If I could process now I could get them out of the weather.

    • @peterlanyon4135
      @peterlanyon4135 Рік тому +1

      Best to split and shave them as soon as they're felled, as it gets harder to cleave the drier it gets. Then the question is whether to tenon them or leave them till they're fully dry. It depends what sort of chair you're making. The best thing is to go on a course, learn the process, then you can carry on with confidence at home. i run chair making courses in Devon, UK.

      Unfortunately the Atlantic Ocean separates us at present. Finding a Windsor course in the US that isn’t booked 18 months has been tough. I’m on several waitlists. I was thinking of just creating dozens of leg and spindle blanks for now so I could store them inside so they don’t rot away. Then steam bend later. It’s all oak.

      @@hartman601 wow! Amazing that Windsor chair making is so in demand. What I do we call free-form green woodworking. Working with the natural shapes that are in the wood. I've not seen anyone doing that in the US. I'd love to run a course there one day. Whereabouts are you?

      I’m in Oklahoma. I would say do something on the west coast or east coast (carolinas). Those are typically where I’d travel to take a course. Mark Whitley has a related style, not the same but a similar vein. I’m also a big fan of Kieran kinsella. Definitely different but similar themes.
