I am the first generation from people who knew how to do everything. My parents were truly jacks of all trades master's of none. I have tried hard to keep up the cooking ways, gardening, refinishing our home on our own. I say all of this because I wonder if the sense of loss I feel that my children don't know all that I know, and I don't know all that my parents knew affects the Amish too. It makes me incredibly sad. I am glad however that the Amish have been able to find ways to still have marketable products.
This is great work im 32 grew up in construction i build custom cabinets now i really admire the Amish and there work ethic. It's my dream to have my own shop .🙏
I was on vacation years ago and we stopped in a Amish wood shop. I've been a woodworker since high school. When the owner found out he took the time to give me a complete tour and show me some of his work. It was all mission style. The craftsmanship, oh man...some of the nicest I've ever seen. Such a nice fellow.
My dad made custom furniture and his shop was on the same property as our house, so I spent a lot of time in the shop growing up. I have a scar on my left wrist from a band saw but this saw was running . Learned a valuable lesson there. I'm now 70 and that is the worst scar I have. I never made my Living making furniture, but have done woodworking my whole life. Thanks for the tour of your shop!
So very impressive to see how they still make everything by hand know technology not even no computers . Amazing and beautiful furniture would buy it over other furniture for sure
We have an Amish Market thats open on Friday and Saturday. They sell furniture there that they built and its really beautiful. Your furniture looks great. I really love the live edge dresser. Keep up the fantastic work. We need more people who actually care about their job.
My great grandfather was an immigrant from a country that no longer exists. He never liked to talk about that life, so we have lots of unanswered questions. I did learn from my Aunt, that when she was little going to her grandparents was always an exciting time. They rarely spent money on stuff in stores. They may get flour and sugar like stuff they couldn’t make or grow. I know he was a butcher before he came to the US. But they butchered there own meats grown on the very small farm, and grew all the rest in a garden they made for anyone that needed it in the nearby area. And every Sunday my Grandmother would put on a giant banquet style dinner topped with what was the best pies in the state(I’ve heard that same description from a few sources now). The meal was for anyone in the family or in the nearby area. The catch was you had to sit at the table to eat it with whoever else was eating at the time and the handful of folks just relaxing and chatting after they finished eating. It was a way to get to know new people and catch up with old friends. Sadly she passed before I met her. I was lucky to at least get a picture of great grandfather, grandfather, father, and I. I actually would have dreams of my grandmothers house a lot and always remembered that picture..(I left when I was 3 and not allowed to visit until I was 17…) My time away from my family really did a number on me as a kid. I missed so much. When I got married I knew I wanted kids. I wanted that same picture for my son. But fate made us wait 20 years for that to happen and my grandfather passed away 4 years prior to his birth. I love woodworking and wish I could just be a friend to come and hang out. Keep someone company while they work, maybe even learn a little bit from watching, I can’t actually hold a job so I know I’m not getting hired anywhere to learn these sorts of skills… that and I don’t think there’s an Amish community or woodworking shop anywhere near me. If I could learn to make the furniture in mine and my sons room it would be a dream! I hope I can make at the very least one piece of fine woodworking furniture that we can pass on to him and then to his own child manyMany years from now.
Thank you for the tour, the products you make look fantastic and I know the quality is better than any imported stuff made , my grandfather was a furniture maker and he passed his skills and love for wood down to me and my brother
That takes me back to when I worked at a cabinet shop that made wood bathroom vanities, medicine cabinets, etc. A lot of those machines we had. I liked that sanding table. Would not have been nearly as dusty. I worked there from 1985 to 1998. This was interesting.
As a youngster I grew up in Leo Indiana...and always loved visiting the Amish shops and communities...now I make my own furniture as a hobby and would love to work at a shop like yours!.. great video....and God bless sir!
I love my Amish-made furniture and Weavers Furniture store. I'll drive an hour just to shop there! The brick and mortar furniture stores that sell Amish furniture also will arrange special orders for pieces you want, which I have done. Once I got an estimate for a piece, decided not to order it, but when I came back later they had several of the piece I had requested in stock....so I had to buy one!
That's an impressive workshop and some equally impressive furniture making, this is proper quality. There's something to admire about the Amish and the way they do things. Very interesting video.
Wow! Very impressive !!! I am just a small guy compared to them but I am very humbled by their setup ! Way to go ! Do you give tours of your shop ? Thank you
Love the content and the style of the furniture! Can you tell me where I can find the nightstand seen in the video at 1:27? I am in Arkansas and aware of any showrooms in my area selling anywhere near that furniture quality and or amish furniture.
We bought an Amish made Dining table and chairs from our neighbors, Amish owned, Amish furniture store here in Kalona Iowa, a few years ago. Incredibly good workmanship! They have a huge store and it’s full of any kind of Amish furniture you would want! I think it came from northern Indiana or Ohio, not positive. Sounds like this place in the video doesn’t make Dining furniture.
I am always amazed how "work arounds" can be found to make things acceptable for your religion when it comes to profit. Generators to provide evil electricity for your machines and so on. I really don't care, but don't give me that crap about not living like the "English". I'm still gonna order my bar stools from an Amish builder because they do it better, but when you fire up the oil lamps at night and your kids take off in their Corvette to go party for the night, sleep tight cause I don't give a shit, just keep making that kick ass furniture! More power to you
@@daniel-vn4ql I’m a 20 year custom cabinet builder. I’m the owner of my business. I’ve dedicated my life to cabinetry since I was 16 years old. I don’t feel the need to explain to you how ignorant it is when people say “real wood”.
I wouldn’t say it’s rare to find solid wood furniture, you can find plenty of custom furniture makers. Obviously you won’t find it in IKEA or other common “furniture” stores. The issue is most people don’t want to be paying the price tag that’s attached to solid timber furniture, because they have no idea how much “real” timber costs and also the skill and time that goes into these products.
The Amish in my area (Wisconsin) are more strict about the use of electricity. I've been to several of their shops and all of them rely on skylights for light and they have a *few* line shaft driven tools. This video depicts a fully modernized shop - very different from what we have in my area.
Same with most of the western PA and eastern OH Amish. Shaft and belt driven tools only driven off a generator at this point. It’s wild seeing how they make some of the tools work. Would never think an air compressor could run off of a belt, if they make it work
Quality for sure, but when I think of Amish built furniture I think of hand cut mortise and tenon, dovetails, and hand finishing. So while it’s still quality, it’s not quite the same as hand built.
Such craftsmanship is wonderful and very impressive, your furniture is beautiful. I really loved the ‘live edge’ top on the chest of drawers. I do understand why you don’t sell to or deal directly with the general public, I don’t think that the ‘Direct to the Public’ commercial arrangement on as large a scale as your operation is would be particularly compatible with the Amish way of living a quiet, plain and simple life without the accoutrements of 21st century life; people can be noisy, demanding and chaotic. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Best wishes to all.
There's a company named Simply Amish that has Amish made furniture from Central Illinois, predominantly the Arthur area in stores throughout the state of Illinois. They've actually got dealers in most of the upper 48 states.
@@tammy5590 I’m not sure if they have dealers down there. If you see a store that advertises Amish furniture, stop in and ask if they sell Schwartz Cabinet shop products.
Hi if you use more modern furniture design . Than you use someone else design. And there is nothing wrong with it. Kind of a say one thing than do another. Your furniture is good
I was wondering if there might be a way to reach Kendall or the shop? Our house no closet storage and I have some pretty cool solutions (that I’m trying to learn to draw out better). I would love to come up with something that could be built or if I could buy it and do the building myself just prefinished and ready for glue and fasteners to be installed… kinda like IKEA furniture but with real wood, instead of particle board. I also love wood turning, do you ever have 4-5 inch thick pieces that are pretty wide? I have nowhere near me that sell turning blanks of any real size…
I like the generator set-up. Does it charge a battery bank, or does it run constantly when the factory is running? How do you know that it is Kendall's furniture when you are looking at it at a store? I'm sure they aren't the only Amish furniture factory out there. Great video. I liked that vacuum table and the upside-down chop saw.
I love going into places it advertised Amish this Amish that.. and ask him do you have any Presbyterian or Jehovah Witness made . They just look at me like I'm a mongoloid
I think this is what has always bothered me about "Amish" furniture. Not that its not decent stuff, its that when someone says Amish, they envision a bunch of guys in pain shirts/hats using hand tools to create a bespoke piece of quality heirloom furniture...essentially that is what retailers are "selling" that idea...when in reality, its a modern production shop, no different than Ashley furniture or many of the other big high production shops. The fact that the shop is powered by a natural gas generator vs being on the grid is literally the ONLY difference between "Amish" furniture and many of the other big production shops I've seen/been in. They dont even do the finishing on all their pieces. No problem with the Amish, and looks like they make decent stuff from what I could see in the video...its this idea that "Amish" furniture to the buyer means something that in reality, couldn't be further from the truth. They have a programmable saw for goodness sake LOL thats as cutting edge technological as it gets! Amish, fine sell it, but call it how it is, its a modern production shop, dont paint the picture of a bunch of craftsmen working all day with hand tools.
TELL HIM THIS: A designer can get a patent for their furniture design if they can prove that the furniture design or the ornamental aspects of the invention are new and worthy of a patent. A furniture design that proves it is something new and revolutionary should be able to get a patent. The truth is that a patent is costly, and getting a patent is a long process, so many furniture designers do not bother to get a patent. IKEA does. Proving the design is unique enough or novel enough for a patent is not always easy. BUT IT IS WELL WORTH LOOKING INTO ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS A AMISH DESIGN. IF HE HAS DRAWINGS OF THE DESIGNS THEY MADE IT MAY BE WORTH LOOKING INTOMAND ANY WHO COPY IT CAN BE TAKEN TO COURT AND PAY FOR THE RIGHTS TO USE THE DESIGN, WILLINGLY OAY A DESIGN FEE ONCE TOLD OR STOP MAKING THE DESIGN. ALSO, get a company or registered business logo and brand it in a hidden area that can be easily seen if needed.
That is a seriously high tech furniture manufacturing company. I thought Amish furniture was hand made by a craftsman with traditional methods like mortise and tenon joints, dovetails not pocket hole joinery. So I’m disappointed to see it’s just machine manufactured. It is much higher quality build and material than anything out of China and an extremely nice shop but not hand crafted.
I think it's hysterical. There are so many people out there who think that Amish made furniture is it better and/or the best quality. I have been saying for years, there is no way possible they could be still doing everything without electricity, etc. otherwise they wouldn't be able to eat and would drown in debt. I am a 29 year veteran in the custom woodworking business and have been self-employed for 23. Your shop is a lot more technically advanced than what I have. Amish made furniture is nowhere near what it used to be as you guys are as new aged as I am. A couple of your machines, I have to laugh at, because there's no way in hell they would represent an Amish made piece of furniture the way things used to be done…… A drum sander and especially a pocket hole machine. SMH 🤦🏻 Wake up everyone, Amish made furniture is nothing more than a name today.
@@theamishpotato they would starve....being amish doesn't mean you/they get better pricing on materials and allow them to make enough money to put food on the table. That's a fallacy
That's not actually true, not all the Amish are the same. There are still many Amish communities, over 50 percent of them that don't use electricity to run their lights, machines, business's, and most things in general. I live in Central IL, in the middle of a large Amish community that uses air and hydraulic motors to power their machines. They use large diesel power units running hydraulic pumpsthat are plumbed into the building into the building, much like up would electrical conduit, only its much heavier pipe.
You can bet if the Amish built it, it is Perfection!!!
Love the Amish culture.
