Absolutely beautiful work and such a pleasure to see not only the skilled craftsmanship, but a very well done video. I have built one Windsor continuous arm chair, had trouble getting the leg angles correct so could you please tell me what angle measuring tool you were using? Thanks!

I absolutely loved this project. Really nice work. But aren't you using the drawknife upside down? I was taught bevel side up

thank you so much for sharing this with us, a very heartfelt tribute.

How do you address holes made from pattern screws

Thank you for sharing this process. I learned a lot. Inspiring indeed.

Is it just me but every time I buy old tools they alway have paint all over them. I think back in the day they just piled all there tools and painted over top of them😂

Refreshing to not see a Domino Joiner being used. Beautiful work.

What is the test number and I will date it. The vast majority of EP's were sub contracted to sentinel steam wagons, but it was usually the EPA ones. Like already said a stanley blade is good for shaving the rust off tables.

Really nice piece, d you know what steel is Made of ? Or what steel was used at the time? Thnx a lot

high class

Done a few of these myself - nice job btw 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

We have the exact same model with the exact same defects. Wish I knew what it is worth. Nothing is seized, and the motor has been well maintained. It doesn't have a ring fence or power feed. It has everything else, though.

truly masterpiece

wondering how much cost table like this

wonderful

The old style cutterblock in the video is illegal. If an HSE inspector sees this video, you will probably get a visit.

Very nice restoration ! I am subscribing. Thank you for the video.

keep up the good work, way better than most woodworking youtubers out there

Would you list the manufacturers of the hand tools you use? This will help me to avoid making poor choices both paying too much for those dan-died up ones or too little on failed great deals. I have been making furniture for forty five years and think the time has come for me to make a Windsor.

Plank the engine hoist, lower it onto the planks and use the engine crane as the trolley. Much safer especially if you keep the straps on...

I had to scrap an older one than this ,very sad :(

Very Interesting but you are not right about the Whitehill block using a power feed does not make it legal . I noticed that the machine had a Sentinel label .This probably means it was made by them under licence from Wadkin .

🇧🇷✌🏻😎👏🏻

You are a real craftsman! You used old handtools, didn't try to hurry. Very original. Really beautiful chair you turned out. Really appreciate your work.

Making an old machine operable again is a worthwhile effort, great work! I have several machines over 100 years old that I use daily. Check them out on my channel if you get a chance!

Beautiful work, both on the chairs and the video. Great cinematography, good choise of music, well narrated. Instantly subcribed!

Thanks for sharing the video Samuel. Very nice work on the chairs. The man who will take on a chair is a confident man indeed.

Nice clean up and restore - especially as, with the number of seized parts, it probably would have been destined for scrap had you not rescued it. I too brush paint my machines (I don't have facilities for spray painting and it's too messy for me), however I did notice one or two more runs than I would settle for. A couple of corrections: You say it was built in 1946 at Wadkin's Green Lane Works. I'm afraid that's not correct. It was sub-contracted to Sentinel Ltd. and built at Shrewsbury. This is what the tag - visible at 25:30 and again at 27:27 minutes - states. The other correction is the build date. EPA's were built at Green Lane work, Leicester until 1945 and then again form 1952. During the post-WW2 rush Wadkin sub-contracted these to Sentinel. As they weren't made at Green Lane they didn't have Green Lane test numbers. Initially I believe they were simply dated, later machines having an "SC" test number allocated. Your machine EPA 953s had 27-1-49 stamped where the test number should be - visible at 42:14 minutes. I am almost 100% certain this indicates the machine was tested on 27th January, 1949. There is little information available, but I believe as part of the contract, Wadkin supplied the castings (possibly raw, un-machined) and all proprietary parts - with Sentinel doing the fitting, finishing and assembly (and possibly machining of the castings). Cheers, Vann.

Well done! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

very nice video. the spindle moulder is one of my favorite machines. currently using a 1970 Martin T23 (tilting spindle). the T21 (fixed spindle) i used to use is now for sale. best regards from the Netherlands, jw

lovely ! Thank You

Beautiful chair! Beautiful craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing you craft with us all.

I came to you channel on your Wadkin EP shaper video. Your use of machines and tools is exquisite. Your table saw looks like a PK. Is that correct? Also do you have the cruciform base for the saw? That’s the casting the slider rides on to the right.

Congrats on the EP shaper. Old Wadkin rules!!!! In the future, try using dingle edge razor blades to remove table rust. Germany required color coded machines at one point. Wood was green. Metal was grey. In the states, Northfield bought a trailer load of nova green army surplus. That is how we got all our machines a puke green. I paint my wadkins grey and royal post red.

❤

Fantastic restoration on such a beautiful machine. Jobs like this are so satisfying. Great video

Beautiful job man , thanks for filming it .

Nice job it turned out to be ready for another 80 years.

Those outlawed cutters speak to the loss of freedom over the years. Getting worse every year. Totalitarianism is on the governments main agenda. Why the hell do they care what kind of cutter a craftsman uses? Control

So many youtuber show making the table, just few youtubers show making the chairs

I enjoyed every second of this video. It was like a meditation, chill out relaxation video and made me like and subscribe. I learned a thing or two especially about the colours. I used to work on one of these spindles but since I quit working for the man I have to make do with a little Kity spindle moulder. I've got some time I might just watch it again. Thanks 👍🏼

Lovely. No corners cut... well... The volume of labor and level of skill the craft requires, is palpable. Not mention the additional efforts of video production. You've earned one. Cheers.

Now this was a real treat! Inspiring woodworking and brilliant video editing and narration, thank you!

nice work like your style of video....instructive and relaxing you got a new follower

Looks nice. Gotta step up your tool sharpening game, though. Even without looking, I could tell many of your tools were quite dull… I could hear it.

Nice job now you have a good working machine for a long time. Thanks for showing it

👍👍👍

Promo*SM 😓

Awesome man!

Amazing work! Great video!
