    Even though I've tackled chair making in the past I was still super keen to go on a Windsor Chair making course with an expert. I spent an awesome week at Glen Rundell's workshop along with a few blacksmith mates. We all learned heaps and had a great time too. If you'd like to go on a course yourself then I'd highly recommend getting in touch with Glen www.rundellandrundell.com.au
    As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

      Be careful, you may catch the chair making bug like I have! If you want an even more traditional experience without all the fancy gadgets, you should try Geoff Tonkin's Windsor chair making course just out of Molong in NSW. You get to make the chair legs, stretchers and arm posts yourself from a green wood log, splitting the log, rounding the pieces on a shave horse and turning them on a pole lathe. Geoff also does the steam bending. The back-sticks (spindles) are done differently, but the end result is just as good.
      The workshop is just amazing and Geoff and Colina are amazing hosts. I highly recommend their chair making course which runs for 10 days. Just google search Geoff Tonkin for his website.

    A beautiful chair done the way you like, with mostly hand tools. That chair, sir, is going to be an heirloom for your children. Wonderfully done and it looked like you had a great time. Thanks for sharing this and I hope you'll show it all finished. Thanks for sharing this, Neil.

    Thanks very much - Glad you enjoyed it! Glen was a fantastic teacher and the whole week was heaps of fun. Glad you enjoyed the photographs. If I remember correctly we layed out the spindle positions on the underside of the back crest with dividers then lined them up in position to find the correct angle for each one. Merry Christmas to you too! 😊

    It’s one thing to see a chair like this, it’s easily stunning and beautiful even nostalgic but then to watch in great detail how you made it from mostly hand tools minus a drill and lathe and handmade jigs that are impressive… it gives a better depth of appreciation because that stunning chair took a lot of time let alone thought and detail! It’s a beauty and I very much appreciate you sharing your experience! If I’m ever in Australia going to Glen Rundell’s shop and learning to build with those hand tools, etc. would be the utmost important goal outside of getting to meet you. Can’t wait for the next video and thank you so much
