  • This Dining table uses sliding dovetail battens to secure the top which "floats" about an inch above the base. The base is joined with wedged through tenons. African blackwood is used for the wedges.

    We have a 17th century farm table passed down to me from my Mum. It's still in daily use. I think that one of your lucky family members will be sitting at this table in 300+ years. Beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you. Good to see that the foreman also approves.

    No words. There are no words for this.
    I've been doing some hand tool woodworking since right about the time this channel posted its first video. My projects... Work. They look decent, and function, but are basic and too rough to be anything more than amateur work. This guy has been showing me what master work looks like since Day 1. An absolute master.

  • @AndrewPace77

    Though the beauty of that table is astonishing, my favorite part of the whole video is that not one power tool was used. I love that the old ways are being preserved. Please keep it up!

    Always so inspiring. In addition to the incredible craftsmanship, there is not a single piece of waste in the process. No sand paper, no tool that cannot be sharpened, no wasted blades, and what remains is a stunningly beautiful table, and wood shavings that can be used to heat. And cat. :)

    This is wonderful filming and editing, and outstanding woodworking skills. Very beautiful to watch. Thank you, I enjoyed it very much. I just bought a cherry slab to make myself a desk, and while I will be mostly using power tools, it still inspires me to continue working on it just from seeing the incredible grain and subtlety of this cherry table.

What makes you want to make a family, move to the hill country and learn to use your hands and enjoy life. Even if this process is slower, it’s real. Not this fast, unnatural thing. It’s real. Thanks you Mr. Chickadee.

    This is the most satisfying thing I've seen in weeks, and you didn't even have to say anything. Beautiful work. I love the look of the black wood that accents the cherry. The sleek lines of the table are will accent any space it occupies. And most of all--kitty likes it.

    Quartered cherry has so much visual interest to offer and it just doesn't get enough credit for it. I suppose people want light wood or dark wood, and not much in between, but it's a delight .
    I think most folks watch youtube these days for entertainment - to dream about what they could do rather than looking for things they will do. You've got the pieces of hand work together in a way that I hope some folks can appreciate - there is joy and physical stimulation in working that way. It's too bad there isn't a feel-o-meter.
    it doesn't by rule have to change what we make - working by hand, but it gives us time to see and discern that's important. And it leaves the work with more life.
    You know that I think the shavings from the try plane are just dandy - same with the smoother. Everything goes together naturally - the wood offers resistance to work, but it isn't a fight or exasperation and it doesn't have to be. no red face, no haunched over, no tools jamming...

    • @MrChickadee
      @MrChickadee  Год назад +2

      You know I had a prof slab sawyer angrily proclaim that had to be sycamore wood, I guess many people dont know the lovely rays many woods can have if quartered.
      I work by hand for the enjoyment and practicality of it. I can make anything I need in this 12x15 workshop, without the noise, PPE and expense of power tools. Yes it takes me longer, and no I dont care.
      No one NEEDS to make their own furniture, and if you do, work the way you enjoy, is how I feel. I get great joy from these tools, and none from power tools, though I understand their utility to those pushed for time.
      I truly love the gift these planes give, that is, the ability to dimension and finish a piece in one process, regardless of the grain or knots, and never needing anything like sandpaper, scrapers and other BS. Just plane the wood, and its done, feels like polished marble and shines like a mirror.
      All this cherry came from one tree a neighbor gave us, it all had this nice curly wavyness to the grain, real lovely stuff to work with.
      Thanks for the comment sir.
