Nothing wrong with looong woodworking videos.
I'm a handtool guy, so thank you Chad!
Chad, Thank for this great video. I will be following the series. Lamb’s tongue - thank you, thank you!
Thank You.
Thanks for sharing the process you use for the lambs tongue,very interesting.
It’s always a good day when you drop a video.
Thank you.
Hope all is well with you and your loved ones.
Charlie I truly appreciate your kind and uplifting words. I thank you for your support
thanks Chad for, as per usual, a very informative video
Hey Saul. Thanks so much for watching. Hope you are well
Hi Chad , very nice legs and to see the way they were made it brings us to see , that not all can be made with powertools . Thx for sharing ❤️👍🏼🇨🇦
Thank you so much for the comment!
Those Ogees look awesome. I’m loving you arguing with yourself over Hex/Octagon. Funny stuff
Hahahaha😅
nice lessons chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
Thanks for this video, I will be watching this series!
Thanks Chad! Because I am primarily a hand tool woodworker I really eat these videos up. I'm always look for ways to learn new things and improve my skills. Thanks again.
Hey Doug. Good to hear from you. Hand tools are great because they truly make you understand by working with the wood. Power tools work through the wood. I couldn't agree more with you
Really looking forward to this little series. I loved how you did the legs, the lamb's tongue was so cool . Looks easy but I know it's not lol.
Honestly with just a little practice it is quick to learn
It's real interesting how back in the day carpenters worked with the hands and no power tools
Exactly Francisco! I look at Chippendale-style furniture and wonder how it was possible without power tools. Amazing!
Looking forward to the next video! Using hand tools is really enjoyable.
Beautiful work as always Chad. Another option instead of using a drawknife is to make a series of stop cuts like you did in the corners and chisel out the waste between the stop cuts. Then you can refine the long flats with pairing cuts and a nice flat file to leave a crisp finish.
Ah great tip Michael thanks for sharing!
I still look over your shoulder for Safety Dan.
Great video Chad, I super enjoy this kind vídeos describing specific techniques. Looking forward the next ones.
Thanks Afonso. This was a class demo Dennis and I did at the beginning of the year for our Woodcraft store
@@ChadStanton too bad I missed it. I remember seeing something about it, but was abroad visiting family.
@@afonsokreling2692 no problem I’ll be covering that and more in this series
Thank you for the tip! It's much appreicated
I'm an idiot! I was thinking that by taking two sides off a square I was making a Hexagon. But it's really an octagon. I guess I have more to learn Hahahaha
I can't wait to see the rest of the mini series.
You do beautiful work. Thank you sir.
Thank you so much my friend!
Thanks Chad - this will be an interesting series. You have inspired me to consider using a similar pattern on my next "leg project."
Oh that’s awesome. I hope you can share it with me when you are done
Very relaxing to watch. Been meaning to make a shave horse for years... I MUST get around to making one. BTW, How is Dennis. You have not mentioned him lately. I hope he is well and say hello
Peter my friend! Dennis is doing well. I see him at least once a week. We actually did this project as s class for our local woodcraft store. Oh good news, I’m visiting my sister next year. It would be great to meet up with you.
@@ChadStanton I look forward to it. 😎
With all due respect, four corners and 4 flats total 8, an Octagon, not Hexagon.
Yes I realized that after I posted my video. Thank you for the correction. Apparently I can do woodworking but can’t count 😊
I look forward to the next segment Chad. How does one come up with the measurements to ensure equal widths on each flat plane? Does the first measurement you use, 1.75", equal the width of the flats?
No matter how wide your board is, use the method 1&6 scale on your ruler, 1 3/4" and 4 1/4" and it will make the octagon.
Chad! You were in Northern Ireland and you didn't call in? Was it something I said? I hope you enjoyed your visit mate! (And you're right we have a lot of sheep here.)
Hahahaha Sorry Mark, that was 15 years ago. Next time I will let you know 🙂
Hey Chad. Could this be done with power tools? Seems like power tools can get bulky and somewhat a burden when it comes to fine work like this.
It could be done with a router table and a 45-degree chamfer bit. It would require start and stop blocks, but it can be done. I do agree with you about power tools. By the time you realized you made a mistake it's too late. But with hand tools, you usually can see the mistake starting, stop and then be able to correct it.
Octagon, yes?
Hahaha yes you are Right I'm an idiot
