When I first read the word "Maestro" I had my doubts. It didn't take long to dispell that doubt. This is simply a beautiful follow-up to Sam Maloof's Rocking Chair. I am blown away. My own fourty years of cabinet and restoration work have made me hard to please, but here we are in a true Master's workshop. A joy to watch. Warm greetings from France.
This is a true work of art, often on youtube you expect to see even professionals cut corners, but this video was just perfect, in terms of every fine detail, hats off!

Tom, your Dad is an absolute champion. What he and your mum have done for so many tradesman/women is truely remarkable. We also enjoy seeing you at the fairs, beside your Dad, working together. Please tell your Dad to do his own TH-cam. He can reach the world then (and not even leave home).

Hermosa silla Windsor fan-back, este diseño está cumpliendo 314 años, hecha en la nobleza del Nogal (Walnut) australiano, la sutileza de la silueta de la curvatura de los rayos, es sencillamente hermosa, gracias Sr. Glen Rundell por compartir un video de calidad y la elaboración de una pieza de calidad, quizas yo nunca llegue a tener una pieza de esta naturaleza, pero si logré ver su belleza.
I love the sentiment expressed on his green top KNOWLEDGE NOT SHARED, IS KNOWLEDGE LOST. And the beauty of his work is a pleasure to see, so thanks for an interesting video. Ian
Been making these things for 45 years when I discovered Michael Dunbar. At the time I was working as an apprentice restoring antiques, a specialty of its own. My boss said that Windsor chairs were about the hardest thing to make. He had a few 18th century Windsors (bow back, brace back), so I took measurements and set out to make one. The toughest was the steaming and bending. Basically you have to move it very quickly out of the steamer and start bending in less than 30 seconds, otherwise the cooling wood will lose its elasticity. Assembly is where the rubber meets the road. You need to identify and mark each spindle, chair leg, chair stretchers and their orientation and ensure that each fits snuggly but not too tight in each hole. For a triple comb back Windsor, bottom hole is 1/2 inch diameter for the seat, 5/8 inch for the arm chair, 3/8 inch for the bow, and if you have a crest 1/4 inch. Just the upper part of the Windsor has 28 joints to be glued very quickly at assembly time. So you do a one or two trials before you actually do the assembly with glue. The term "coming unglued" probably evolved from Windsor makers when during the gluing something goes awry and they have to quickly abort, disassemble, clean up the glue surfaces before they harden. Then have a beer and try again.
thank you for sharing, i hope i can make a few nice chairs sometime. nowdays there are so many awful chairs with the seat level to the floor and the back coming straight up im fighting not to slip out onto the floor. comfort can really help keep your thoughts straight.
This video is well done in so many respects: in content, in craftsmanship, in visual aesthetics, in pace, in videography,… 🧡 The mirrors for rake and splay: fascinating! I need to know more. My intention is to build a Windsor once I’ve finished my shave horse. This video is both inspiration and clarity. I will watch it again and again. Extraordinary. Thank you.
@ProcessMaestroChannel Thank you very much creating these stunning videos. They showcase the potential of human skill and knowledge and make sure that some of it is preserved for future generations!
Gran habilidad y maestría en su trabajo, me hubiera gustado ver, cómo afila sus herramientas, porque eso es fundamental para lograr la perfección que muestra en sus obras. Felicidades.
Cracking bit of craftsmanship there mate , wonderful skills and attention to detail, what’s the timber I am guessing Tassy black wood ? Thanks for sharing
Fantastic work. Very interesting trick with the mirrors to drill at the right angle. I thought there would be a jig for that but no, just steady hands.
I'm a metal fabricator, the use of such modern tech to make a timeless classic may be frowned upon. You have Only to look at skills and the ultimate outcomes to see true skill regardless of the tools.
Simply amazing. The only critique is that the sound mixing is poor - the machinery is way too loud. It's nice to have the other sounds amped up, but the saws etc. should not be.
Lol this guy needs to watch the video of the 79 year old man who goes out into the woods and cuts down a tree and drags home and makes a rocking chair out of it with an axe, a draw knife, and a whittling knife......
sad fact watching these types of videos is that younger digital overloaded generations could care less about a lifetime of learning to get to a point of being a craftsman/ journeyman I myself spent 35 years as a trim carpenter/millwork installer in commercial construction and saw the amount of younger men and women get smaller and smaller as I got closer to retirement and yes I think that what I know will be lost
I'm not sure whether I should be impressed or not, as I have learnt wood working, my tutors have been completing this entire process by hand, no machinery involved.
Please set the video quality to 4k (2160p) and enjoy! 🙌🏼🥳
The work looks beautiful!! Just one question what do the mirrors help when making the holes?
Very interesting and useful video, thank you
I’ve been a furniture maker for over 60 years. I’ve always considered myself a craftsman. You, sir, are a true craftsman. I feel like a piker.
60 лет в деле - моё почтение!

The woodwork is amazing, but you're truly skilled at keeping those blade edges keen. Well done

Solid walnut wood and Blackwood
Your work looks awesome, thanks for sharing. The shims are Basswood, seat Walnut?

Oh what lovely tools, let me lose in there. My little pokie shop has nothing to compare to there
What is the name of the chair maker?
What is a walnut tree?
What kind of tree is this and what is the name of this tree?

Awesome. The industrial revolution killed the craftsman, for the most part. Love the Froe, I have 2.

Younger men and women will be drawn to true craftsmanship. Don't forget many younger generations buy vinyl records.
