I bought a WCW braced continuous arm chair back in the mid 1980’s through an Eldred Wheeler shop in Highland Park, Texas. I had it there, moved it with me to Illinois then 27 years ago on to Ohio. It is a beautiful chair and one of my prized possessions.
I have 4 Windsor chairs that I picked up, someone had thrown them out. I refinished them and loved the craftsmanship. I thank you for taking the time and show your product and keeping up with a traditional look.
I saved this link. I was very happy to find a location that would provide the level of quality and care that is clear your people put into these chairs. Thank You Warren Chair Works! Please continue the fine tradition of furniture making in the USA.
Very nice. I restore Ercol furniture from the sixties, which was made in a similar manner. They started out in a part of England that had lots of workers making Windsor chairs, which were then taken to London to be sold. Ercol modernised the manufacture, using a factory rather than self employed workers.
I love the steam bending of the back and arm rails without splitting. It looks like ash to me. How could you paint that lovely wood black. Maybe a customer wanted it. Really interesting video. Windsor chairs are the best wooden chairs, but never as comfortable as an upholstered settee!
Trent Myers the books by Mike Dunbar will teach you what you want to know. But this video shows factory built chairs that lose some of the craftsman’s touch and character
To all the "Nay Sayers" posting negative comments,..........I have a Warren Chair Works Windsor bench with WCW carved, not burned, into the bottom of it in three places. I can tell you this, Ii is a well made, "HANDCRAFTED", heirloom quality, piece of fine furniture. WCW was purchased by O&G Studios in 2014, when the owner of WCW decided to retire. O&G continues to make fine furniture in this traditional style, with a more modern flair to their pieces. Remember this,......if Duncan Fyfe, Thomas Chippendale, George Hepplewhite, and the rest of the colonial and early American furniture makers had access to power tools,.....they would have used them!
That’s not fair. It is made in the eighteenth century way but with hand guided power tools. The more modern way is to use CNC machines. So yes, a mix of old and new.
Your Very Clever I wish I could get Mr Warren to would come over to the UK and have a Demonstration at Yandel's in Devon. Oh such a Live Demonstration would Give the UK A Great Boost we all you Expertise. Such a Delightful VIDEO a Pleasure to Watch.
How can you call them traditional you use glue and machinery and it take you 10 days to steam and dry you make a traditional Windsor chair from green ash without using glues and and a traditional green made Windsor chair can be made from start to finish in 5 days using traditional hand tools and yes i do make them i run a green wood school making traditional Windsor chairs in the uk
Great chairs !!!! Well done . If you wish to see some old original antique turner made chairs then type " LINCOLNSHIRE CHAIR MUSEUM " into google and click on the Flickr website .
Awesome! Since I google Hyezmar’s Woodworking Bible I got into this wonderful craft more and more, I’m on my third project now and it’s been super easy.
here's several ideas to consider before you setup your own woodworking business are you likely to get help from your family? Are you someone who is self-motivated? Will you carry out your plan? Do you have the funds to start? (I read these and the reasons they work from Enata Wood System website )
Well, you don't get the results you get with handtools using girnders. A travisher or scraper will always leave a very different product. And why bother making reproductions without using traditional methods? Automated lathes? Why the fuzz?
@@trentbrubaker8452 Depends what the customer wants, and if they're willing to pay for the extra time spent using hand tools. Spoiler alert, they are, that's why there are traditional furniture makers still in business.

Having restored and made quite a few chairs, it's lovely to watch a manufacturer take some time and appreciate the skills involved.
I'm thinking to attempt a Windsor myself. Possibly over ambitious
I am a Japanese cabinet-maker.
It is a very good video. I was impressed.

Yes! Not everything needs to be made in China
Beautiful chair...loved it!

wow great

wow, great video and great looking chair. Impressive craftsmenship.
The black paint ruins it in my opinion, but I guess that`s a matter of taste.
Wow!!!! Ilove it wish i could learn this can you reccommend any books that will reveal the basics to a Fellow woodworker?

Beautiful! I own a country Primative store in Coxsackie ny! Do you ever sell to shops?
“18th century craftsmanship at its very best”... power sanders and grinders at their side, just like 1760.
Joe Blow I thought the same thing. LOL

If they had power tools back then, they would have used them.

Why wouldn't you use glue that is just retarded
Where are your classes. Also, are you a decendant of Ethan Allen, seriously?

hand made!!!!!!! i dont think so
here's several ideas to consider before you setup your own woodworking business
are you likely to get help from your family?
Are you someone who is self-motivated?
Will you carry out your plan?
Do you have the funds to start?
(I read these and the reasons they work from Enata Wood System website )
There are endless styles of Windsor chairs. Thank you for sharing!
How do people at your factory get wood dust from their lungs?....
Only Quality! 2020
what is the machian in 2:06？
李成 a duplicator lathe. This is one of the reasons these chairs aren’t handmade.
Well, you don't get the results you get with handtools using girnders. A travisher or scraper will always leave a very different product. And why bother making reproductions without using traditional methods? Automated lathes? Why the fuzz?
Maybe if it's hobby but for a business it's just a waste of time
@@trentbrubaker8452 Depends what the customer wants, and if they're willing to pay for the extra time spent using hand tools. Spoiler alert, they are, that's why there are traditional furniture makers still in business.
The amount of sawdust your folks must inhale day after day! I'm getting a sinus ache just watching.
Get some LEV? Your killing your staff with no extraction or ppe.
Matthew Chapman or eye protection... there’s a shot of a guy using a high-speed tool with hearing protection, but not eye protection
No one is wearing eye or dust protection. Not smart.
Good point... or protection for the paint fumes? Oh boy, wonder if they are still alive.
Woodglut is nice for that.

I really like the Woodglut plans.
I really like it. Also check out Stodoys and plans.
Props! If you want more of these kinds of techniques, google Hyezmar’s Bible and you’ll start to get really creative!
Music annoying
"18th century craftsmanship", with cnc lathes and power grinders... What a joke. Factory production junk is more like it.
Woodprix has a lot of designs to choose from.
I heard very good opinions about the Woodprix plans.
