Ever notice that real woodworkers never seem to be in a big hurry? Seems like I am always rushing to do things. I've made a few pretty nice furniture and deco pieces over the years, but haven't made anything to this level. Skills are one thing, but you also have to have the temperament. Maybe I need to watch a couple Ashley videos before I start... so calming and enriching.
I have watched a lot of machinist (metal working) videos and that has helped me slow down and be more exact and precise. there is no hurrying on a metal lathe or milling machine. so my woodworking has gone up a notch because of it. there is a balance between slow and putting food on the table, though...
Beautiful chairs. And it interesting to note that they are able to run their business and their homes from solar power. That dispels the arguments of those that say it can't be done
For my senior and 4th year of high school cabinet-making I made a chair. Of course, this was before I realized the smart thing to do was to measure existing chairs for proportions and sizing...it was a very challenging project. Chairs like this one, however, astonish me all the more with respects to how much trial and error goes into perfecting the forms. What you see in the video must surely only be a fraction of all the early design work to go into such a piece. Marvelous job and video...thanks.
Thanks for taking us behind the doors to their shop for a look into their awesome work.!! Woodworking to me has always been passionate. I watch as his father scurries around and it reminds me of myself years ago, always trying to keep up with the workload and demands of selling your craft. I closed the doors on my cabinet shop in 2004 and don’t miss it, and for 8 years afterward I wouldn’t take any project on and took a break. I always loved designing and the lure of crafting something for the first time, the interaction with, and giving a customer something unique. When you catch yourself falling into a production mode it will strip you of what you came to love.
Ashley.......it's so fun to watch you explore places that most of us would never get to go. Shops are busy and most don't have time for curious woodworkers and people like me who always have a million questions. Thanks. DD
Thank you for doing interviews like these. Another fantastic history and look into a craftsman life. These are incredible chairs they have that artist and form and function is beautiful. Take Care
That was a great tour. You are awesome. Madrone is a beautiful west coast wood. It's known as Arbutus up here in BC and I've just started working with small pieces. Beautiful furniture, thanks for featuring them on your channel.
Hi Ashley, I must say not sure who came up with the idea, but sure works your videos have been taken to a new level. You are a breath of fresh air to the woodworking world. I love all your turning and have watched all your videos. But this one and your last tour video was really great. Thank you for giving us the chance to see some of the fantastic folks in this community. All the Best Ashley look forward to your next video.
What stunning chairs. Level of skill and craftsmanship just calls out as you look at these chairs. When I saw them I was just Oh my they are beautiful and then of course I started looking to see how they were put together. I guess I like woodworking. Can you image where humans would be today if we didn't have wood to work with, still living in caves and freezing probably. Ashley keep up the great videos. It is a great thing you are doing and you do it well.
That is what I always wanted to do; make furniture. Unfortunately the opportunity to make a living doing it wasn't there when I went out into the "real world", and my career choice didn't leave me with much spare time to get into it on even a small scale. Now that I am retired, (not by choice though), and have the time, I'm playing catch up in procuring the tools and relearning the skills I once knew so well. Great video as always Ashley! I really like this series where you visit different woodworkers throughout the country, woodworkers that the mass audience have probably never heard of.
I'm surprised that anyone would saw Madrone into planks. I used to have a half dozen on the acreage of Redwoods - Santa Cruz county Ca. Madrone is an ancient species of wood that has scales as old bark - sheds them in the winter. The wood can be 20" or so in diameter, but the trunk might flow through two or three 90 degree turns! Mostly used for firewood. Only commercial use was small slats in blinds. I have turned bolts from my wood pile - fire wood - and made many cups and small items. Often the wood would pop and split due to the wood releasing pressure from bending and twisting. I had a Bolt - 1/3 of a trunk fly apart when turning a candle stick. Beautiful peacock like - no colors - tans and oranges but sparkle is there.
Great video...lovely craftsmanship and that u did the tutorial.woth them at the end....bliss!! Also that tee shirt and denim mini...I'm sorry, but phwoarrr.
Such talent. Wonderful chairs. I hope they sell the Rocker for a million dollars each. Ashley you’re so beautiful. Love the outfit but especially the flip flops. #flipflopsquad

Raise your hand if you're a woodworking nerd!
Ashley Harwood 🤚
Consider my hand held high. I don't know how to do the little icons.
Ashley Harwood and Stumpy Nubs Woodworking... my two favorite channels!
I resemble that!
Yes I also raise my hand.. thanks
Love the spaced out , clean , uncluttered concept of the shop
Those chairs...omg...incredible! And I never thought I'd be jealous of a chair either!
Good Lord, that chair design is amazing!!!!

If I did work with wood... especially after this I would just hang up my tools... good lord what gorgeous work!!!
THANK YOU Ashley for sharing your experience with us! Going to their website now!!! 😳🤓🤪😀🙏🏼

When she said "little finial" she really meant it!
I did not plan to make use of this woodworking book, www.WoodPlanner. xyz
but its a huge collection of woodworking plans that I recommend. . .

Love the chair design. The Sam Maloof style rocker is very nice, and looks like a neat take on the Maloof joint.
What a gorgeous chair, chairs all of it. Very interesting, thanks for the show. Another great job, thanks Ashley

As my good friend Tom always says “sad to leave you sea”

Tactile indeed. i wished i could smell the smell the wood. Great episode in a cold climate in Sydney, Australia.
lol almost thought we had a basic instinct moment in the chair by accident lol
No doubt!
john 117 you mean you hoped!
Such a cool chick and channel!!!
Such talent. Wonderful chairs. I hope they sell the Rocker for a million dollars each. Ashley you’re so beautiful. Love the outfit but especially the flip flops. #flipflopsquad

Very Sam Maloof style chair.
Здорово, очень круто, молодец!!!!!!!
Boom!
Beautiful work but those Rocker design are Maloof.

You totally remind me of pam from The Office :)
Disappointing that neither of them gave Sam Maloof any credit for the chair designs. They are near-copies.
OMG Ashley you are so beautiful !!! my GOD !!!
