longer to describe than to do. Just on the weekend I was at the Bodgers Ball where we had the Log To Leg race. The challenge was to take half a log, split, shave, and turn two chair legs on a pole lathe. Winning time was under 10 minutes. Not me, of course, but WOW.
The haircut and lack of mustache really threw me off for a minute, didn't realize this was Rob again
For real lmao
These are still used by traditional craftsmen in the UK to make old fashioned shingles.
They use a froe to split up the log into rough slats, then use a draw knife set up like yours to make good.
I find drawknives such a pleasure to use that I have often found myself happily zoning out and shaving my intended piece down to almost nothing because I was lost in the enjoyment of using the tool. Everyone that likes woodworking should have one. EVERYONE!
I am glad you came back to the chair build. I have been interested in this one.
I am not going to make a chair, but it was fun watching the two of you showing how. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
I have one and its handy. I would never froe mine away.
I’ve used a whole bunch of vintage drawknives from northern Europe. Some are 100 years old. The one i use the most is an 80 year old Peugeot from France (yes, same company that now makes cars). The knives i prefer the most are curved, not like the one used in this video, but one that curves down towards the work surface. For me, this allows for a lot of control over the depth of cut. I love the glossy faceted tool marks these tools can create, makes for a lovely finish on a cleft leg or a stretcher.
Hello, Rex, & Rob;
GREAT video, "THANK YOU!".
I have a dream, that one day I'll build a very simple 'ladder back' chair like the ones common when I was a 'youngin'.
So I really appreciate this, it's prolly the closest to a 'build-a-chair' course I'll ever get.
Being 69, such a course ain't too likely for me.
Looking at home-built kilns online I saw some solar-powered kilns w/ integrated fans.
One video said they saved/made a lot of money drying their own lumber.
BTW, making/shaping an axe handle taught me a lot about using a drawknife & a spokeshave.
Two yrs ago I hung an axe, 1st time in like 40 years, & 1st time I shaped one.
Keep up the good work.
Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
Hi Rex I just got to say that I’m loving watching your green woodworking series
excellent series! I would like to see your take on a red oak joint stool next!
This was great fun. You looked like you both were enjoying it as well. Thank you for posting.
Nice Rex. Having Rob there giving a class. Between both of you I now have a better understanding.
When I was a teenager, my dad bought a permit to cut down a bunch of pine for fence posts and rails on some Crown land here in Canada. He offered us ten cents a post and 25 cents a rail to take the bark off with the draw knife. In hindsight, that was pretty poor pay even at that time and the things that called that wood home were revolting but now that I am trying my hand at woodworking and seeing this video I may not cuss about using that tool anymore 😄
The people I watched doing this back in the 80s always wore a leather bib to keep from cutting thier shirts and stomach. Not needed anymore or just doesnt do this all day everything. Seems like a smart idea wearing one.
I’ve got 3 draw knives. 1 new made and 2 older ones (vintage/antique). Love my draw knives!! I’m pretty sure one of the old ones was “acquired” by my youngest son.
I have some idea of how hard it is to convey what you're doing when you're at the shave horse and draw knife stage: so much of it is feel and try and changing things up on the fly. You two make it look easy. Thanks and keep it going!
Is there a reason why rather using the drawknife instead of a bench plane for the fine work (chamfers, flattening surface, ...)? Is it just because you started with the drawknife and won't use too many different tools?
Anyway, this tool is amazingly flexible. In my mind is has always be something for the real rough work. Great job you did!
Loving this series and loving the more conversationalist style video with less production.
Been needing one
thanks
2:16 I have that same sawstop in my shop. good choice 😊
Anne of all trades puts her pieces in a garbage bag even when she just has to step away for a second. The plastic was a smart move.
Good to see someone canting/sloping. However you are using only a small part of te blade, if you start with the blade right hand closer to the wood and gradually slide the blade to the right as you slide /canting back you will find it much easier.
your shop freezes? when was this shot?
I really need to build a shave horse.
Should it be longer by the way? He's so edge that almost falling 🤔😊
😊😊😊
Why use greenwood to start with? Why are chairs and some other furniture types made with greenwood?
They touched on why they use green wood early in the video. Green wood cuts a whole lot easier than dry when you're using a draw knife (or any similar blade slicing along the grain), so it saves time and sweat. Try planing thick shavings off a piece of green lumber with a scrub plane and you'll feel the difference between wet and dry.
The other reason is that if you have green legs and very dry rungs, the rung tenons will absorb water from the wet legs and get fatter, and as the leg dries out over time the mortise shrinks. It makes it really tight joint. That's why at the end they were talking about whether or not each of them will be using glue when they put the chair together. If the mortises and tenons are cut well, you'll technically need no glue at all to make a perfectly durable chair.
Why don't you just say you like to make kindeling 🤣👍👍👍🤣😅
