- Making a Chair Part 2 of 2. Side and Arm Chair Building Process by Doucette and Wolfe Furniture Makers. We made a set of 8 chairs, 2 Arm and 6 side chairs. These chairs are made of solid mahogany, with carved and shaped posts and back splats with a shell carved Crest Rail. Part 2 shows carving the ball and claw feet, the rail mortise and tenon joinery with through wedged tenons and making the arms on the 2 Arm Chairs.
These chairs are based on an original chair by Eliphalet Chapin of Connecticut. We measured an original example at Yale University Art Gallery.

The finish is Royal Lac shellacfinishes...
The mahogany for these chairs is from Irion Lumber

No craftsman here on TH-cam comes anywhere near this guy.. a master
Just what I was thinking.
Every video you guys release is the most exciting thing for me on TH-cam. Thank you for giving us the experience of watching masters at work.
Wow, thank you! We appreciate you watching.
Thank you for documenting your work. It's great to watch and I'm always learning something. Thank you.
Thanks Jay for watching!
Most talented woodworker craftsmanship I’ve ever seen in my 47 yrs
Love this! Nothing better than watching art come to life. I am saddened by the number of “craftsmen” out there that purchase a Pocket Hole jig and use pallet wood and think that they are on he same level! Saddened also that they get more subscribers. You are fast becoming the last of your kind. Love every video that you post!
Watching these videos makes me really want to start wood working again. I haven't had access to a woodshop since high school. Thank you for sharing your master skills with us. Beautiful work
Very Cool, Thanks Aaron. One great option now is co-op shops, makerspaces, etc. Not sure where your located but it might be an option for you.
He is really blurring the line between craftsmanship and pure artwork! So thankful he's sharing this to the world! Very inspiring!
I keep coming back. Work unmtched by any other ive seen in the 21st century! 18th century masters would be proud!
So glad to see y'all posting videos again. Really enjoy watching y'all work. Thanks for sharing.
To have just a quarter of your skills, and what you have accomplished would be just amazing for me.
I wish there were words to fit the level of experience, talent and precision you demonstrate each and every video but i feel there isnt. Simply stunned each and every time.
I have watched every video you have posted, and I'm continually in awe of what seems like effortless perfection being produced from tools in the hand of a master! Keep up the great work. You are an inspiration to all woodworkers.
Pure woodworking with no BS. Thanks for sharing.
This chair is a work of art. I wait for the next step.
This is my favourite you tube channel. My bucket list is to learn how to carve these legs. Keep up the great content, cheers.
Awesome, thank you Don!
Amazing craftsmanship!
As one who spends the majority of his time working with the same hand tools you use and attempting to build similar 18th century furniture I am awestruck with your skills. I have been fortunate to witness the best in action, Al Breed, Phil Lowe, Steve Latta, Will Neptune and a very few others. You rank right up there with them for sure.
Incredible work. Seriously, amazing patience and meticulous craftsmanship. Thanks for taking the time to make and film your projects.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching Luke!
I would love to see the finished work up close and to look at it in great detail. The reason is so I could see with my own eyes the true hand crafted nature of this. To actually see genuine hand crafted beauty. This is really satisfying to see. Thank you for sharing this beautiful work with us. It is my opinion that this kind of work can only be done by someone who truly cares about what they are doing.
Thanks for the kind words and for your insight! I will keep this in mind. I try to show up close detail shots of the finished work but it can be a challenge to capture in photo and video what is seen in person.
your videos never disappoint, beautiful work!
Thank you! Cheers!
I saw that nice looking dog too. Superb job on consistency throughout the set. This is one of the hardest thing to do. Very impressive. Thanks again for sharing, Steve
Beautiful as always. Wonderful work!
Jim
Absolutely fantastic
Beautifully done, that was a lot of work. Thanks for showing us.
Amazing skills and beautiful furniture.
Beautiful! The even more amazing part is the consistency of those legs and claws!!and u make it look so easy!lol! You really have a God given talent! Wish one day I could be 50% as good /skilled as you!
Thanks Joe! I bet the things you are making now would have been hard to imagine viewed through the eyes of yourself as a beginner.
Welcome back!
Thank you for taking the time to document this!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Привет из Крыма Россия .Best!!!!!!!!!!
Muy buenas noches desde Colombia muy buen trabajo gracias por enseñarnos su trabajo como siempre sorprendente felicitaciones 👍👍👍
Beautiful work 👌
Meraviglioso
Great to see you again in your shop. Beautiful piece of furniture. Best regards from Poland. p.s. Did I just see Narex chisel instead of Lie Nielsen?
Thank you! correct, a wide 1 5/8" chisel
Amazing, thanks for sharing
Amazing.
Hi Matthew. Thank you for sharing your exceptional talent, skill and attention to detail. I am an avid follower of your work. I am extremely interested in understanding your sharpening regime. Would you be willing to share?
I did see a Tormek in the background once ....
Amazing
С уважением из России от коллеги.
Hermoso trabajo,saludos desde Perú,puede compartir los planos de la silla?
Mesmerized, watching you do all that intricate carving... Unattainable, from my timid perspective. :-)
Those chairs looked like they had nice wide seats... What would they measure between the armrests, I wonder? They look very comfortable!
Thanks, for sharing.
Thanks! Approx. 20 1/2” between arms
@@Doucetteandwolfefurniture I once sat in an original Chippendale, in a Yorkshire museum. I am small and thin. My friend did too he is large and tall. We both commented on how comfy they were. The extra width was really good ergonomic design. It seems that narrower chairs, that we are used to now, are designed for smaller spaces rather than the human body. The lower seat was also comfy not only for me but my tall friend too.

Great videos with excellent workmanship. Could you please explain the reasons why on some of the joints you used a single long tenon and on others you used a double tenon with a haunch?? Thanks
Thanks. One example is both the rear and side rail join the rear leg in the same area which can weaken it some. Using the haunch helps to maintain some of the strength by removing less material from the leg.
Oustanding
Grande!!!
if you ever decide to put out a how-to on Ball and Claw feet I would be willing to pay.
Amazing carving work. They are very grand looking chairs. Are they comfortable, or do you still have to wait for them to be upholstered? Thanks for the vid. Cheers, David
Beautiful work...have you ever used a microplane in lieu of that Auriou rasp ?
Highly skilled work. But I am worried about all those thin arms, legs, and other elongated parts will break in use because the grain is not following the curves. Form over function? I wonder if that was done the same in the old days. I suspect so. In ship building they do really select wood with curves for making curved parts that need high strength.
What brand of spokeshaves are you using? Extraordinary work.
Exelente trabajo,puedes decir que madera es,gracias
สุดยอดครับผม
Amazing work as usual, especially your magic with the spoke shaves. May I ask what spoke shaves you use for the legs? I feel i'm missing out on that front...
The closest thing to seeing Michelangelo carve his sculpture from marble*
Where did you learn your craft? Your work is outstanding.
Beautiful work. May I ask you to do a quick video about jig you use to hold the legs while carving ? Thank you in advance.
I will try to do that.
@joe Duggan i can’t agree more !! I have a question fore Doucet and Wolf , why remove and make it all flat with the spokeshave , when you have to round it all to make the leg look like a foot ? Thx to take the time to anser .
Hi ,I've watched and enjoyed many of your videos and I haven't seen you use sandpaper.
Do you use it for your work?

I was wondering the same thing.. I think they do, just fine grits
Depends on the finish. On these chairs I did sand them with 220 prior to finishing. I will sand anything that is carved and or shaped that I use a dye on for finish color. Most woodworkers do not like sanding so I did not think about adding that part to videos.
@@Doucetteandwolfefurniture Thank you very much for the reply
I admire your work very much and I wish you and your family the best .
@@Doucetteandwolfefurniture thank you for for the reply. Like many others, I have enjoyed watching your great craftsmanship. Thank you and I look forward to seeing your next video. KJ
What brand carving chisels you use, I seen swiss? Your spokeshaves looked like veritas but been wondering for a while what brand of planes you use?? Also(sorry for so many questions) I seen you use some sorry of big rectangular plane in one video, looked Lee a plane inside of a metal box or jig? Big respect for your craftmanship!
I think that was a Stanley #113 compass plane or similar. Likely a must have to produce curved splats and leg backs with any speed / volume.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇹🇷
Beautiful! Thanks. How did you get the angle tenons on the rails?
How deep are the gains in the rear legs that take the armrests?
Wait a minute, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the shop dog before.
I think she is in some of the older videos
Beautiful work, wonderful craftsmanship (and some nice tools, too). Ugly chair though.
if you are looking for a helper let me know l am from México. amazing andar exiting job. l do fine woodworking too.but at my country don"t unaprecieted that tipe o hand art job
