Nice, nice. I make bent willow chairs. That wood is mostly very fresh cut, with only some of it seasoned. Although, frankly, I'm too impatient to let it season, and do it all green. Is your ash seasoned or green? Most of our ash is gone, killed by green ash borer. I do have a lot of Bass wood (Linden) with which I might try your techniques. Thanks for the tutorial, I always learn best by watching.
This is wonderful to see😀. Beautiful craftsmanship indeed😀👍🏻❤️‼️. Thank you so much for sharing this, I can’t wait to give it a go with the tree branches I have just cut.
Unfortunately I rarely see Tom nowadays so I can't help you. You could try contacting him through Instagram instagram.com/thomas_bickerdike_crafts/?hl=en#
Tom tells me it's a Veritas Power Tenon Cutter. If you google it you will see who stocks them. They come in a set normally. Have you watched the other video I made with Tom making a rustic bench with hand tools. ruclips.net/video/DpYarfnITcs/видео.html
Sorry for the delay in replying but I had to wait for a reply from Thomas. The tool is a Veritas Power Tenon Cutter which comes normally in a set. I also love that tool. Check out www.axminster.co.uk/veritas-power-tenon-cutters-ax789004
Please let Tom know - from one bald man to another - he has a fantastic shaped head. No shame in shaving it all down, it'll look magnificent, like a shaved down ash branch for the chair! Cheers
Great stuff. Do you have any links for hand tools? I'm have trouble finding them. I need everything but the ones with the leath are the hardest to find.
It seems to me that you used the natural bend in the sticks to make the chair's base of support narrower, and thus less stable. Why didn't you rotate the legs so they'd curve OUTWARD, thus widening the base?
Hi Steve and Tom. I was at the farm last saturday for a spoon carvers meet, organised by Emma. What a wonderful place it is! Hope to see you both down there sometime. Love the chairs! I have a question. What was the Auger used after the Jennings bit, the one without a lead screw. I have a few, just bought a job lot of goodies, but can't find anything about them. There's info on every Auger out there except these it seems lol.
As the film maker I'm no expert on the tools used but you might be referring to Veritas Power Tenon Cutters. Best bet is to contact Tom via his website
@@stevehaskett100 Thanks for the reply Steve. It's not the tenon cutter... I know of those wonderful things :) But the strange auger with no lead screw. But as you suggest, I'll ask Tom himself.
@wilson lawson It's not a spoon bit I'm familiar with those, I have a few. I now also have a several sizes of the 'bit' in question, and found out what they are called. They are possibly "Dod's" bits, or "Nose" bits Tom's looks more Nose bit. I'm still on the hunt for some history on the Dod's, but there doesn't seem to be any on the net as of now. The Dod's bit are for making a deep flat bottommed mortice, deeper than a Jennings/scotch/gedge/irwin bit can make due to the lead screw breaching the other side of the wood.
Your chairs inspire me
I do like that style of furniture making - taking to back to basics with very few tools needed, just a certain amount of skill!! well done
Greetings from Germany. I like to make this too, but I have no tools.
This is exactly what I want to learn. Thank you so much
A master chair maker!
I like this a lot.

It's really nice, for sharing.
what is the second bit you use called after the auger bit you use another to finish cleaning out the hole I am looking for the name of that bit
Back to the Future..... brilliant..:)
Awesome work
Amazing...respect you sir
Hi. I wonder how you call the tool you use at minute 5:34? Not the drill but the point. Thank you
It's called a tenon cutter!
What's name of the half moon style bore tool to clean holes up not the auger bit but other one
Qual nome dessa ferramenta que faz as espigas?
the time and energy spent making a chair. just to be able to sit down! after making the chair.
What is that tool that was the attachment to the manual brace? That made the end of the wood a peg?
Tenon Cutter
Great furniture for a weekend cottage you have a lot of skill.
That's really cool. What kind of knife was that you used to whittle ends with

Ok thank you
Great work! I was wondering how you would allow for shrinkage/movement in the ash if the rungs are also green?
Have you found an answer yet?
Some of that wood looked like it was already dry.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing :)
Glad you liked it!
Impresionante.
This is some real ASMR
hello..3.lıke nice share...good job:)
Brilliant video. Was the ash green.
I believe so
Lovely
What is the round shaving tool at 5:33 called? thank you for the great demonstration

Waooowww its beautyful

Well spotted. That was an error it's true
Parabéns
What was that tool that formed the end of the branch into a dowel?
Never seen that before.
Hey! I looked up “dowel shaver” and found that magnificent tool he used!
😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hi, anybody know what that bench is called on which he clamps his branches?
Can you share the measurements?
In addition to being an amazing and restful wood artist, is he also a potatotarian? :D
Из какого дерева изготавливали ?
Чтоб я так жил!
where do you source your ash branches?
They were from the surrounding woods of Horsenden Hill in Ealing. They were clearing a small area and Tom just kept a pile for later use
given that I dont know a woodsman how do you suggest I get green branches suitable for this....also where did you get the bottoming out auger you use
@@tomhodges8396 Best thing for further info is to contact Tom through his website www.thomasbickerdike.com
Awesome. Thought to make chair. Don’t hv equipment 🤣
I feel like a bum with all my expensive tools
Woodglut has very good and accurate plans.
Thousands of lifetime projects with Woodglut plans.
I recommend Woodglut to every beginner and not only.
