    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.

    I learned total respect from an older guy that repaired period Windsors had a room full he collected. After he passed his kids almost gave them away. You are spot on on style. When he repaired it was "always with period air dried wood he collect up and down the east coast in estate sales still hiding in barns built the same period.

    I really must compliment you on the quality of the filming, and a perfect soundtrack. If you filmed and edited the film yourself, then you are true multi-talent.

    Very well done. Windsors are something I’ve always wanted to do for the challenge and skill building, but with no local market for them, I’ve refrained. Your chair is stunning in that oil finish. Keep it up.
    Cheers

    What an absolutely stunning piece! The entire process was breathtaking! If I could ask a technical question, what is the merit of having the seat's grain oriented along the axis of sitting? I would like to try my hand at building a Windsor chair, but the reasoning behind the grain orientation eludes me! Thank you for your time and making this chair a reality!

    • @samchampionmarchant
      @samchampionmarchant  Год назад

      Thank you. The grain on Windsor Chairs traditionally ran from front to back. On Welsh Stick Chairs, it would run from side to side. Both last a very long time and there doesn't seem to be a structural downsides to either. Just make sure you align your wedges accordingly.

      @@samchampionmarchant You know what, it's been a month since you mentioned Welsh Stick Chairs to me here, and I just wanted to wholeheartedly say thank you! You led me down a rabbit hole of studying the history of chairmaking, and I've been developing a few designs of my own as a result! It has definitely paved a new avenue for my passion for the craft. Seeing this build video for a second time, I can see why I was so inspired in this moment. What a stunning piece of furniture and build video! Thank you for sharing your process, and for that tip about the wedges. I'll never forget to check the orientation now! I am grateful!

    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.

    Really enjoying the film, but I am wincing at your table saw use (ripping)🫢 I‘ve made one Windsor but using slightly less „industrial“ approach, just shaving horse and rounding planes, mostly in the Bavarian woodsLegs turned on lathe. I‘ll certainly use some of your techniques on my next chair, you‘ve motivated me to make another.👍 By the way, really liked your fence in the background at the beginning. Watching further, how could I have used „industrial“? You must think I‘m a complete dickhead. Sorry.

    • @samchampionmarchant
      @samchampionmarchant  2 года назад +2

      Thank you for your comment. My reasoning for the industrious approach is because i work on commission. I usually do all the milling on my machines so i can work at a more competitive rate. Sometimes though a drawknife and a shave horse is far quicker and much more pleasant. And you should definitely make another Windsor Chair.

    Yeah great work but what happens when something gets in your eye and you lose an eye you are the only person I’ve ever seen on RUclips that doesn’t wear eye protection When Operating a wood lathe or any other machinery for that matter. I’m not sure if OSHA monitors these videos or not but if they do and they see you without your eye protection you will get a very big fine. Don’t be stupid dude put on your eye protection please👁🦮👨🏻‍🦯🧑🏼‍🦯👁🦮👨🏻‍🦯🧑🏼‍🦯👁

    • @samchampionmarchant

      I almost always do wear eye protection especially on the lathe. Next time I am on the lathe you should see it.
