- Making a Highboy with Ball and Claw Feet. This video shows the making of a Highboy or High Chest of Drawers that we recently made for a client. This Highboy is made of solid Walnut, details include a Hand carved Newport shell, cabriole legs ending in ball and claw feet and pad feet, Hand cut dovetailed drawers with Figured Quarter-sawn Walnut Drawer Fronts and a Hand rubbed Orange Shellac and Royal Lac Finish. www.shellacfini... This Highboy is handmade based on a few different antique examples made in Newport Rhode Island by John Townsend and John Goddard.

You aren't just a "furniture maker." You're a sculptor and artist.
Watching your videos always keeps me in check, and reminds me of how much I still can learn and develop my skills. Thanks for the post, and much respect Matthew.
Man if you signiture that furniture you make one day it would be worth millions. You people are truly artist an your furniture is the canvas. An you have the perfect name to go with it. The very rich is gonna take notice. Mark my words.
That is incredibly beautiful! I hope that one day I will have the skills to do half that quality. Please keep up these videos they are so inspirational!
Sharp design. Sharp execution. Sharp tools. I'd volunteer to come in at the end of the day to sweep up the shavings.
WTF man !
This carving is unreal, completely out of this world !
Hats off to you, sir !
Thanks!
My mind was blown many times over throughout this video. I admire hand carving skills and dream of having abilities like these someday. The part where you hand carved the mouldings at 15 minutes in was especially inspirational. I am new to woodworking and was planning on investing in some hollow and round moulding planes to make trim pieces in my house, but after seeing this maybe I should get some gouges instead! I don't care if it is more difficult to learn. I am inspired to give it a try.
Thee best craftsman I've seen on the web!
Totally Agree!!!!!!!
This is not only the furniture, this is a solid piece of art.
I am in absolute awe of the skill and dexterity shown by this fine craftsman.
... this is not Carpentry... it's Artpentry.. Bravo!
that molding finished by hand is just speechless!! now, that's a proof of skills of his own.
Walnut/mahogany are such great species to work with. Crisp and brittle which makes it a wisp for carving and other work
this, Sir, was pure joy to watch. you are making art. it's not a piece of furniture, it's magic.
Man, you carve the best ball-and-claw feet, period!
Definitely a better way to do cabriole legs. With the dovetailed case you get so much more stability. Prior to watching this, I was going to do it this way for my next set as opposed to the leg with the post that defines the corner of the case. I wish you guys were still making videos.
That is gorgeous! You are true artists. My mom had a modern reproduction of that very same highboy and I loved it. It stood around six feet tall and my mom was barely five feet tall. She had to use a stool to see in the top drawer. 😁
I have a lot of ornate hand-carved furniture and watching this makes me appreciate all the hard work that goes into a piece of quality furniture, well done guys.
Wow, the carving and shaping! Beautiful!
This is what separates the Craftsman's from the woodworkers. Amazing talent and artistic ability. Thanks for the inspiration.
I'm speechless. Your craftsmanship is unmatched.
This video should be watched by all people who order custom furniture. I build custom/ reproduction furniture and customers are always asking why it takes 4-6mos for a bedroom set. This video is sped up. It took this guy several weeks to compleat this piece.
This is another level of workmanship. I could watch just the planing all day long. Great video and a beautiful piece of furniture.
Absolutely SUPERIOR work! I have yet to see anyone who has the hand tool skills that you have developed. I will be very much looking forward to your next video.
My dad did this kind of stuff in his workshop. Glad to see that these skills are still in use today. Very talented! 👍🏾
This is the work I love, quality not quantity.
I could watch this all day. I have learned so much from just watching. thank you
hand tools look like an f*ing workout. my arm gets tired using a paintbrush for too long, hahaha. This is incredible craftsmanship, a pleasure to see in action!
It warms the heart to see such craftsmanship.
Absolutely mesmerizing piece of work, both the actual piece and the methods. I was watching this video as an educational background/company during my lunch and I literally forgot to eat. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I have at home a Baroque-style table with VERY intricate legs - I've always wondered how they were made and now I know. Thanks for the video!
Du beau travail à l'ancienne... L'assemblage en queues d'arondes est superbement bien exécuté... Superbe pièce, au final! Bravo!
WOW!!! I am learning how to do woodworking....I could watch this for the rest of the year and hopefully some of this will penetrate my thick skull....
A work of art, the finished job and the construction
The camera angles are getting better. I feel like I am learning a lot by seeing you cut those dove tails so close up. And that carving... wow! What are you not able to create with wood? Very inspirational, thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful piece. A+ on the craftsmanship.
My dad used to make furniture before he retired and he would create the most beautiful furniture pieces out of walnut or mahogany wood. I really appreciate the amount of hard work and precision that goes into your work. Well done.
A lovely dresser turned out. Works of art. What hard work You have done. Like!
Exemplary workmanship. I am always humbled when I see your work. Thanks for sharing with us.
My god what a skill you have there. Couldn't dream of making furniture that well. Absolutely brilliant
I think I just learned about ten years' worth of experience...
Thank you so much for posting this; you're inspirational.
'Bravo!'
All the tools, AND all the skills. Amazing.
Good lord, incredible craftsmanship!
I ran out of descriptions of how I feel watching your build process. I could repeat what others say, but that doesn't do it for me. I'm a premium subscriber for another woodworker. I won't name drop because that would be unfair to both of you. I will say this though, although I'm perfectly happy watching your videos, wishing I could work as confidently and beautifully as you work. But I would be even more thrilled to be able to learn, just a little of how you do what you do. I can only imagine what little free time you have to yourself when you're not working on these fabulous commissions, but I would happily pay for premium content should you ever decide to open up your shop to any online training classes. Until then, i'll just continue to stare blankly at the screen while you work your magic, wishing still that I hadn't waited so late in life to pick up a chisel.
+Silent- Hill dont stare at the screen. cut some wood. ;-) no one gets good at this by taking a class. you get good by trial and error. simple as that.
Amazing work. The feet are gorgeous. The Vid is really plaisant to watch. Looking forward for The next one. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for posting these videos. The craftsmanship is fantastic.
Unbelievably beautiful. Inspiring as always. Those ball and talon feet are amazing.
Now that is a master and let me repeat master furniture builder he is top of the line. I'm impressed
I love the tiger maple. Excellent.
I was waiting! So cool! Exquisite craftsmanship! Sorry can only give one thumbs up.
Truly beautiful work by a craftsman who knows his trade. Well done and thank you for the video.
Outstanding!

Truly a piece of Art and amazing craftsmanship! It is wonderful to watch you build this beautiful Highboy. Talent I can appreciate and only dream of every having. Thank you very much for your video, Inspiring!
Wow- Simply WOW!
Amazing talent. God has truly blessed you and you use your talent and skills very well. I aspire to work such as this someday.
I've watched almost all of your videos multiple times and love the content. However every time I watch them I have the same thought, the carpet on the shop floor would likely drive my allergies nuts! Keep up the great videos.
Your work is always amazing to me, Matthew. Thanks for posting such a wonderful video displaying not only a beautiful piece, but also beautiful craftsmanship.
amazing highly top craftsman, absolute perfect workshop to tools goes with mind-blowing skills. Keep posting more videos .Many Thanks
Brilliant!
Indeed he is an artist at work.
So much good tips in this video, it came out great in the end. I like how you stacked the draw sides like steps to cut the tails. Now I feel like practicing my woodworking skills.
Astounding workmanship! I would love to a see a video just on how you sharpen and maintain the edge on your tools!
Splendid !!!
