80 % of my furniture is Amish made. Excellent quality and durability, I feel good knowing my money is going towards a group of godly people that deserve every penny! Great Video Thanks!
We live in SE Pennsylvania and decided to finally get a good dining set, table, chairs, sideboard & stools for the island. We drove to Lancaster County and ordered a set that we paid good money for and had to wait several months for while it was being made. We were not disappointed, it’s fine solid quarter sawn white oak, heavy as the day is long, beautiful and so well made. This furniture will last for many generations.
Look what easy is with my invention "Parallel Guided Power Saw" you can see on you tube, to can cut straight lines. I am looking for a partner to manufacture my saw. Is your community interested to manufacture my power Saw?
7 years ago I bought a dining table and wooden king sized bed frame from a place in New Braunfels called Amish Oak in Texas. Table was custom sized for my new house. Great stuff. Still tight after all these years.
It's been said the Amish work is performed with just as much reverence and sincerity as their most heartfelt prayer to God. The beauty and perfection of what they produce is a testament to this.
The quality of this furniture is top notch no pressboard filler pieces. Their finished are outstanding. Unlike my 1000 dollar bathroom vanity which is peeling at 3 yrs old
Every Amish community is different depending on where you go. The religious leaders of that community set rules for the Amish in that area to follow. Some sects are extremely conservative, and other sects are allowed to use diesel generators ( not connected to the electric grid ), and some don't. Regardless, in the end, their construction techniques and furniture is as sound and solid as ever, and their religious values and community remain in tact which is their main goal. They arent against using electricity for the sake of not using electricity. They are simply against adopting things as a community that would make them stray away from their core values and closeness. Using a belt sander will not undo a community, but using a smartphone, indeed can. See the difference? ;)
@@demonpande yes I do, I grew up with them and lived with a wonderful family for a time, That's why it surprised me. Then again it was..ohh 40 yrs ago give or take, times change for sure.
@@debrabrooks6138 that sounds like an amazing experience, truly! I can't wait to go out and visit Amish country myself some day. I need to go back east to do so though :)
Not sure what it's like in other places, but here in Southern Maryland...if you want it built correctly and want it built to last, you gotta call the Amish. Their craftsmanship in unparralled. Period. They're just that damn good.
Look what easy is with my invention "Parallel Guided Power Saw" you can see on you tube, to can cut straight lines. I am looking for a partner to manufacture my saw. Is your community interested to manufacture my power Saw?
They do not use modern electric/technology in their everyday life, but in the factories and businesses they use equipment that is powered by diesel generators. Thank you for your interest in the Amish lifestyle.
HH003 yeah they have some weird rule or justification to it. They don't own power tools but provide them a circular saw and they'll use it. I have a deep respect for them but I fear they'll compromise as time and technology grow. Sadly they already have.
I think it's fine as long as their house stays clean of modern things. They can't drive cars for instance but, they may ride in them. Also there are slightly different rules, within different communities.
Every community varies - there’s no central authority and each one is autonomous. Each community has a set of principles/guidelines known as the Ordnung that guides all facets of life. Some allow electricity for business, but not for home use. Some only allow gas or air powered tooling an retrofit tooling for air compression. Some allow only red carriages while others yellow. You get the point. There’s tons of variations, just like there is no “central body” for all of Christians. There are so many sects and beliefs that stem from an originating core.
ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT --- Please use respirators (half-mask respirator) with dust filters when sanding wood. Or in any other dusty environment. It's something like 20-40$ investment that'll save your lungs. I did see carbon filter half-masks at 1:50, that's awesome!

I have great affection and respect for the Amish. I am slowly but steadily converting to all hand tools in my woodworking shop. I will never work on the scale that the Amish do. I am buying hardwoods from the Amish and air drying for furniture and cabinetmaking. They quarter saw for quality reasons. Best wishes from Minnesota.

Power tools are actually relatively simple mechanism. The motor inside is working on basis of magnetism. Even if I declined certain modern technology, such as mobile phones or cars, I do not see a problem with power tools. You still need all the skills, and they do not make anyone unhappy. Cars can do that. The values the Amish have are something to admire. If we could bring some of that back to the world - even without any religious aspect - I think god would like that.
I've been doing remodeling and finish woodworking for close to 50 years. The only time I wear a mask is when I am sanding walnut. A lot of woodworkers would tell you that.
That's what I noticed too. They should really get a dust collection system and wear masks. I love their craftsmanship and work ethic but they'll get serious lung problems if they don't address the dust problem asap.
I saw sawdust flying everywhere and no dust collection system or masks being worn. Please protect your lungs! There are lung diseases caused by long term exposure to sawdust. Please take better care of your health...God would want you to. I love your furniture by the way.
A whole house filled with Amish furniture regardless of how it was made it's not the point it's who made it definitely servants of the Lord and of course we all know the Lord makes the best even for us sinners😁
The Amish don't have a rule about any kind of technology. They have values. Family, Community, God. Working together as a Community to make furniture, to support your Family, is pro Amish values.(it's not hypocritical at all, You just don't understand their values)
Each community has their own set of rules. There is no central guiding principle relevant to all communities. All communities are autonomous. This set of rules/laws is referred to as the Ordnung. Each community varies heavily or slightly based on their Ordnung. From what style of clothing, carriage colors, etc. It’s like you saying “man, really disappointed that as a Christian you don’t follow ‘X’” given there are so many sects of Christianity.
@@kkknotcool Excuse me but I don't think you know what you're talking about, I have lived amongst these people all of my 28 years and they go by their own righteousness and live by their own righteousness and speak by their own righteousness Unlike christians that have a personal connection with Christ, I don't condemn these people I love them very much! But creating your own Doctrine "law" Instead of using God's doctrine "law" is sin
I asked an Amish man on a build site if he was OK using an electric drill. He said that if he was working at home or on another Amish property, it would be different. But as he was contracted by a non-Amish company, he uses the tools specified, which include power tools. I since found out that that's pretty normal. But I am surprised to see Amish being filmed here. They don't like it. Mennonites don't seem to mind.
Cassiano Cosmelli not all communities forgo electricity. Each community has a set of laws/rules known as an Ordnung. This covers tons of different things from carriage color to community standards/expectations. There is no central governing authority for the Amish, just like there is no central body for all Christians. There’s large disparities between the varying sects.
if I've understood it correctly, they just take longer to accept new technology, because they believe that we are better of without many of them, but they have blinkers on horse carriages for example, because it's a good thing to have for safety. i have no idea how they know what tech is good or bad.
Their elders deside what is good or bad tech, but I tink they understand that in these day and age you can't always go without it eventhough they do not like. They keep it as simple as posible and not every community is as strickt as others.
I love working with wood, but all that sawdust is deadly to me. major sawdust bugger by the end of they day. If i work with sawdust or cement mixes, my stool comes out like bricks.
Nice work but I thought the amish didn't use power tools? This is pretty much the same methods used by modern woodworkers.the amish I have seen in Pennsylvania didn't use this.all hand tools.or is that just in front of the tourist?after seeing this I am wondering if they don't go home after work and have a few beers and watch cable TV like the rest of us? Maybe their all playing video games too when no ones around.
Beautiful work. So strange to see Amish using power tools though. Contrary to what we are led to believe, though....that they only use hand tools. Is that cheating a little??
Very interesting video. Do the Amish consider carpentry in a religious way? There were, in Europe, the guilds or craft guilds with religious connections. Also in Japan Buddhism influenced very strongly the beauty of the wood work.
Interesting way of thinking. Jesus was a carpenter, but from a European point of view I think they just stick by what they know from generation to generation. A lot of European early furniture and houses are build more or less the same way the Amish still do.
They don’t pay taxes and ride the boundaries to avoid taxes like being on the grid, driving cars, etc. If they want to sell goods outside their community or work for general contractors they should pay taxes just like every one else.
The Turtle Carpenter, I don't know where you found that information but it is not accurate. The Amish pay taxes just like anyone else. They do not "stay off the grid and avoid cars to not pay taxes" rather to set themselves apart from the world.

Should have included how they can use power tools, without being connected to the non-Amish world, and where they get those tools. I read about that, and a lot more, many years ago. Very interesting, and very intelligent way of still obeying their beliefs. So don't believe I'm knocking them, because I am not.

Baepsae I think my point is that they’re calling these people Amish.. Went really these people are probably Mennonite... Definitely some similarities but calling the Amish they’re only doing that to maybe sell more furniture because Amish made furniture is probably gonna sell better than Mennonite made furniture.. I should’ve explained myself a little bit more in my original message...
I work with an Amish furniture buisiness. We use the work of Amish builders in Millersburg Ohio. They are legitimately Amish, not Mennonite, and they do not call themselves that title. Some of our "builders", as we call them use the same type of facilities and craftsmanship as the Amish in the video above. That doesn't make the Mennonites. They are still different from Mennonites. They do not use smart phones, drive cars or use Electricity like some Mennonites. I understand the point you were trying to make but your Amish are not the same as Amish everywhere else. There are severely more traditional Amish communities out there, and slightly more relaxed communities. But they are still Amish. The rules are dictated by the religious leaders in the county they live in, and each neighborhood in some cases can have drastically different rules and allowances. There are so many different kinds of Amish craftsmen out there, even as builders in the family owned buisiness I work in. :)
Baepsae makes sense.. the Amish in this area are much more strict.. They most likely would not use any power tools and they would never wear colors.. much more strict.. interesting stuff tho.. thanks for explaining 😃
@@1806StoneHouse - yeah it's really interesting, even in this business some are like the Amish in the video and others have much longer lead times and would never allow themselves to be filmed or wear colors like that. It's different depending on who we order from. They're fantastic to work with through. I really enjoy selling their stuff. Have a great day :)

They arent against using electricity for the sake of not using electricity. They are simply against adopting things as a community that would make them stray away from their core values and closeness.

Wait! What? They are using power tools? I'm not against power tools but I was expecting more hand tools work! Great craftsmanship though!
theres too many long beards oprating all this machinery for my liking
Should have included how they can use power tools, without being connected to the non-Amish world, and where they get those tools. I read about that, and a lot more, many years ago. Very interesting, and very intelligent way of still obeying their beliefs. So don't believe I'm knocking them, because I am not.
Huh.. the Amish around here would never use these electric tools or be on camera.. or wear clothes that bright...
Every Amish community is different depending on where you go. The religious leaders of that community set rules for the Amish in that area to follow. Some sects are extremely conservative, and other sects are allowed to use diesel generators ( not connected to the electric grid ), and some don't. Regardless, in the end, their construction techniques and furniture is as sound and solid as ever, and their religious values and community remain in tact which is their main goal. They arent against using electricity for the sake of not using electricity. They are simply against adopting things as a community that would make them stray away from their core values and closeness. Using a belt sander will not undo a community, but using a smartphone, indeed can. See the difference? ;)
Baepsae I think my point is that they’re calling these people Amish.. Went really these people are probably Mennonite... Definitely some similarities but calling the Amish they’re only doing that to maybe sell more furniture because Amish made furniture is probably gonna sell better than Mennonite made furniture.. I should’ve explained myself a little bit more in my original message...
I work with an Amish furniture buisiness. We use the work of Amish builders in Millersburg Ohio. They are legitimately Amish, not Mennonite, and they do not call themselves that title. Some of our "builders", as we call them use the same type of facilities and craftsmanship as the Amish in the video above. That doesn't make the Mennonites. They are still different from Mennonites. They do not use smart phones, drive cars or use Electricity like some Mennonites. I understand the point you were trying to make but your Amish are not the same as Amish everywhere else. There are severely more traditional Amish communities out there, and slightly more relaxed communities. But they are still Amish. The rules are dictated by the religious leaders in the county they live in, and each neighborhood in some cases can have drastically different rules and allowances. There are so many different kinds of Amish craftsmen out there, even as builders in the family owned buisiness I work in. :)
Baepsae makes sense.. the Amish in this area are much more strict.. They most likely would not use any power tools and they would never wear colors.. much more strict.. interesting stuff tho.. thanks for explaining 😃
@@1806StoneHouse - yeah it's really interesting, even in this business some are like the Amish in the video and others have much longer lead times and would never allow themselves to be filmed or wear colors like that. It's different depending on who we order from. They're fantastic to work with through. I really enjoy selling their stuff. Have a great day :)
Amish people when they do something very nice Kline
i was expecting hand tools, not power tools, so dissapointed :D but still good job
Hand tools would perhaps dbl or triple the cost ,vs power tools.
"Many builders with the same standards." Where?
None of them are wearing mask?
