This is the first session in the "Foundation in Chairmaking "videos series. The rest (13 more hours of instruction) is streaming on Vimeo on Demand vimeo.com/ondemand/galbertfou...
This series is a deep dive into the basics of building chairs, specifically Windsor chairs using both green and dry wood. Traditional techniques using hand tools as well as modern ones are discussed and used while building two project pieces. This session covers the tools and materials that will be used, sharpening, getting straight grain parts from logs or boards and flattening a seat by hand.
I hope you enjoy the first session! - Навчання та стиль
Ah the philosophy and science of sitting.
I am a carpenter turned woodworker and it is my dream to become a professional chair maker.
These videos are just what I have needed. Thank you!🙏
Dittos about chairmaking. First the shavehorse, then the windsor.
But “rake and splay” leave me frozen in place… for now. But hopefully not for long.
Good experiential insights about chair ergonomics.
Excellent compilation of vital information, but nothing that dissuades from digging in and building a chair.
Log splitting is much like stone splitting with feathers and wedges. With stone it’s all about the sound. That straight red oak was a treasure.
I am very appreciative to you for your willingness to share your knowledge and methods. Great videos .. Thank you
"It would be easier if I were right handed."
Story of my life😆
Even though this video is about making chairs, you have given much better instructions about sharpening than some dedicated videos
Finally UA-cam has presented me with a “real” woodworking video, no cnc, no joiner, or planet, just some excellent hand tool work, I will be subscribing to this channel in the hopes that your still putting out content. Thank you so much for your effort
I bought this series about a week ago and watched each episode. Excellent instruction. I plan on starting the perch stool in a couple of weeks. Peter is an excellent instructor and I hope to one day take one of his classes in person.
Rick, thanks so much, I appreciate the kind comments, I hope to see you in class someday as well!
I watch so many video's on woodworking, but watching this video...I constantly said to myself.....I just learned something! Thank you so much. I might even attempt to make a chair!
Wonderful to hear, thank you!
I was able to watch the full length video a few days ago, but unable to subscribe until today. Unbelievable amount of useful information. Thank you for taking the time to create the video and sharing it with those of us who want to learn and grow as woodworkers.
So much wonderful and comprehensive information here. Love the info on the grain direction, growth rings, etc. Thank you for your time in putting this together. I’ve been woodworking (weekend warrior) for almost ten years and when I started using hand tools, I fell in love. That’s when you really get to apply the information on grain direction you went over. It all comes together. I can’t wait to try making a chair. That is one project I haven’t done yet.
I have been watching the seriesn right from the beginning. There is nothing with more knowledge on chairmaking out there :) Can only recommend!
Thank you Nicolai, I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying the series!
I’ve been having trouble with wood movement lately. Using boards not greenwood. Your explanation of growth and tension has given me a lot to think about. Great stuff.
Dear UA-cam algorithm, why did it take a year for me to realize this was available? How many Curtis Buchanan videos have I watched? Plans and videos with Elia purchased? Even gone down a small rabbit hole on the sizing calipers....sigh... Ok, Peter, this purchase is on my list. Pretty near the top. Thanks for all your work and preparation, just what I need, fills in a lot of gaps for us journeypeople chairmakers, presented mindfully and succinctly.
Thanks David, I'm glad that you find it useful!
I've got a friend that's been making chairs, mostly Windsor chairs, for many years. He stopped splitting his years ago by hand and uses a bandsaw and chainsaw mills now. Interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
There’s a very practical reason why you split wood, not saw it out. You can maximize the strength of the piece you are making by splitting and riving instead of sawing.
I like to put a wedge in near the edge on both sides of the score mark. It helps prevent that runout away from the score line that you can see at the bottom of the split. It also helps with propagating the split all the way across the log's diameter. It won't stop it from twisting if that's the way the grain runs, but it will help keep the two sides of the split parallel with one another, even as the log twists.
Wow mate that was very impressive watching you split that log while getting your daily workout done. You must be in phenomenal shape. Kudos to you for that alone. Killing 2 birds with one stone. Great work 👍
you are a good teacher look forward to more. thank you for your time and investment.
Perfect timing! I’ve moved through staked furniture and just now moving beyond that. Ordered my first travisher (your style) this past week in fact... thank you Peter! 👍 I’ll consider the videos, but I have already loved your book.
Wauw the seat of the perch stool has such a smart design. Got to try it out soon! Thanks for sharing
In my workshop I don't have a thicknesser or even a planer (jointer)! Simply because I can't afford them, not for any principle. So when I'm preparing a board for a guitar body or top or whatever I'm doing it a bit like you did with the scrub plane and no7. I've only got a Jack plane (N0.5) which I just love, but having seen the effectiveness of that Lie Nielson scrub plane I think I'm going to have to convert the spare Stanley no.4 I've got sat on the shelf doing absolutely nowt to a scrub plane. I think it'll make the job a bit easier. It's quite incredible though, once I've thicknessed a board like that, then belt sanded it across the grain, then along the grain, then random orbital sanded it, I can get it down to 0.1mm tolerance on the verniers. Looks better than it was speed-sanded! I bet those flutes in your no.7 REALLY make it easier though. I had a try with a friend's fluted base no.5 the one time I was knocked out by how easy it was to push through. Felt like it had a "auto-wax" device on the sole. I loved seeing the log splitting though. Some trees here in Scotland that need that treatment. That would set me up in timber for quite a while!
Really excellent video. Straight talking, well explained and demonstrated.
I use an old coffin plane that I got at a flea market for 5 bucks. It's a great scrub plane cheap and pretty easy to find.
you know when I started this video I thought it was going to be boring. Boy was I right! lol However, I did watch the whole thing and it was very informative afterall. Great job
It's worth remembering that "simple" does not equal "easy" ;)
Very interesting video with a lot of great information. May I ask, how green was that (log, days, weeks, months)? How long is appropriate between felling and processing green (or milling)?
0:03 'Woodworking should never be practiced under any conditions'. Really, not even safe ones?
Michael, it's a bit of a parody of the "lawyerly" disclaimers, I just hope that whatever you practice in the shop, that you do it safely
