I’m just beginning to get into chair building. I love the simplistic beauty of this style chair. Your craftsmanship is something to aspire to. Thank you for the video!
Thank for the vid ,was very relaxing. Did get here by a round about route saw your sutton hoo boat vid. Then one of Z's monster vids. Then your name came up. Must get back into green wood working this year. But first hay baling and carting. Thanks again . Nic.
Hello from the Pacific Northwest of North America. I love this! I'm inspired. I found your channel through your boat build. As a hand tool aficionado, amateur boat builder, spoon carver, and orchardist we have some things in common. Professionally, I am a cob builder, so the background architecture also gets my full attention.
@@jonsealwoodturning4673 What we have here isn't traditional. It was started by a Welch man in the late 80s, but there are quite a number of dedicated builders, teachers, and owner builders.
That is a labor intense project! It is sad that everything is made in automation now from cheap products. Thanks for making this video! awesome to see the process with no power tools!
Fantastic. I first got into wood turning by making things with green wood And promised myself I make a Windsor chair but never did you may have just Geared me up to approach it again. I really enjoyed this video keep them coming
Thanks Peter. The course was tremendous in a really beautiful setting. I urge anyone who enjoys this kind of woodworking to take a good look at Peter's courses - they're a real inspiration!
I have been watching videos of chair making to go with the rustic natural edge table I am preparing to build. I would like to borrow some of the design that you have created. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Jim That's great, thanks. I recommend Mike Abbot's book, Going With The Grain. It's a fantastic and detailed guide to green woodworking and very well written. Look forward to seeing some pictures of the chair and table.
I love the whole circle approach. I'm interested in making a shave horse, having recently carved my first spoon. Any advice? And the mallet you used to drive the splitting wedge I assume you made yourself. Is it oak at the business end? Thanks!
Of Course you're not the only one. But I believe that you may take criticism, without taking offence. So please instead of playing background music, I would much prefer to hear the birds sing and all the other natural sounds.
Nice story. Well-made chair. But get the terms right. This is a heavy pruning- coppicing is at ground level. Your video is education so needs the correct terminology. Thanks and please don’t take offence.
Nice work. Never seen the adjustable bending form. Very smart.
Well done both the chair and video 👍
Great job. I enjoyed this very much. Cheers J
Thanks for your kind comment.
Just clicking like doesn't seem enough. That is a beautiful chair. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for your comment Jon. It's much appreciated.
Looks like fine woodworking to me. Beautiful!
This popped up after I finished watching your boat build. Apart from the obvious craftsmanship and nice filming, I loved the bird song. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mr. that was a fine looking build. From seed to chair is something to be proud of.
Thanks!

You can do it!
Very beautiful chair. Excellent craftsmanship.
Thanks.
I so enjoyed watching you build the dinghy and this magnificent chair also floated my boat.

It’s crazy how a seed you planted 22 years ago created the wood to help you build that chair. It’s so beautiful.
Thanks for your kind comment
Wow, Jon! I really liked this - and also enjoyed the birds singing ... I want to sit on it in your garden ...
Thanks Aase. Hope you are enjoying the boat build!
What I allways dreamt of 👍👏
Tusen takk, Else. Good luck with your projects.
Wow
Wow. 3. Wow
Really glad you liked it. Thanks.

Wow. Cob is so cool. We have many cob houses in Devon. I had no idea there is a cob tradition in the Pacific North West. That sounds amazing.

You got all the angles right. The perfect chair.
Thanks, it's certainly comfortable.
I am very happy, from India
Glad you enjoyed it
What I would give to own this chair. I love handmade rustic items. Every one is slightly different and unique.
So glad you like it.
Beautiful video 💛
Thank you!!
Wonderful!
Thanks! The sailing episode is out now!
Having a look at this after finding, and following the boat build. I like your bending frame. What a mad ensemble of clamps.
And, of course, the chair is lovely too.
Thanks 👍

Thanks

Thanks, William. If you've not come across Mike Abbot's books I really recommend them. Good luck.
Really cool
Thanks for you comment.
Truly amazing, Jon! That was some incredible craftsmanship!
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Seth. Good luck with all your projects.
Lovely chair Jon, I'm glad you got so much out of the steam bending course. Thanks for the credit!
Thanks Peter. The course was tremendous in a really beautiful setting. I urge anyone who enjoys this kind of woodworking to take a good look at Peter's courses - they're a real inspiration!
@@jonsealwoodturning4673 Peter's course certainly sent you in the right direction
Enjoy the billed thank you for sharing you have a blessed day in the name of Jesus
Hi Tim. Really glad you liked it. Happy New Year.
Beautiful.
Thanks
thank you for your story and for sharing it with us ;)
Glad you enjoyed it.
@@jonsealwoodturning4673 Thank You 🙏🏾😊
White walnut used to be called satinwood in Edwardian times. It is lovely to work with
That's a really appropriate name. I loved working it.
Nice video !
Thanks, Larie glad you enjoyed it.

Definitely go for it. I recommend any of Mike Abbots books - they're fantastic. One of the joys of green wood working is that its so low tec.
What kind of walnut is this? Looks like birch.
I grew the tree from a walnut which I collected many years ago and we harvest a good crop of walnuts from it every year and they taste very good.
What is the finish you applied? Is it just tung oil?
Hi I used Danish oil which works well for me on furniture.
Of Course you're not the only one. But I believe that you may take criticism, without taking offence. So please instead of playing background music, I would much prefer to hear the birds sing and all the other natural sounds.
That's a very good point and I think I agree, having watched it back.
Nice story. Well-made chair. But get the terms right. This is a heavy pruning- coppicing is at ground level. Your video is education so needs the correct terminology. Thanks and please don’t take offence.
Thanks for the advice. Too late to change it now but I'll get it right next time. Thanks.
