Matthew and Esther wrote about wrote this Make a Sack Back Windsor - Episode 1 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6Kzd_AqiBA[1]> Dammit, I have a set of side chairs sitting downstairs, about a decade old Work In Progress. Watching Mike's videos reminded me of this project. I am trying real hard NOT to feel obligated or compelled in any way. Besides, SWMBO has a WIP older than my chairs, so she has no cause to complain.

Thanks for the heads up on Mike's videos. They are great. They are done with a high level of production value. He includes a lot of tips that I find both interesting and useful. Along with Curtis Buchanan, the Windsor chair makers are leading the way in generously making their chairbuilding courses available for free. I write to encourage all Old Toolers, and O'Deen to watch the videos. I have a selfish reason. I want to see Mike continue on and do the Nantucket Fanback chair. It's different from what other chairbuilders teach, and is a chair that has become associated with Mike. I would love to see it the next chair he covers. But a note on the videos says he will be able to do more videos only if the traffic for the first one justifies doing others. So, go forth and watch Mike's videos. They are good entertainment even if you are not considering making a Windsor chair. Best Regards, Steve - who has made two, but would like to do two more chairs. One of which would make Garth Huxtable proud. |

I just finished watching episode 1 and it was great. I look forward to watching the remaining videos in this series and I really hope he continues to release videos of other chair designs. Thanks so much for sharing! |

Watching Mike work with that drawknife you cannot help but see that he KNOWS the wood and the tools. Most of us who use hand tools a lot, we get that. I know the wood and the tools well enough to get stuff done, but watching Mike, well, he just knows where to put the effort in, and where the wood will work for you to help the tools get the job done. Damn, I gotta get those old dusty parts back into the shop and finish that set of chairs! -- Darrell LaRue Oakville ON Wood Hoarder, Blade Sharpener, and Occasional Tool User |
