Dale's observation about the sight line explanation raises a point important enough to warrant a public comment. So, I copied my reply from Episode Nine to share with him and everyone else. In teaching our classes we applied the concepts of the Japaneses Quality Improvement movement. We identified places where guys had trouble and kept working on better techniques to make Windsor chairmaking easier. No suggestion was too silly to be considered. If one solution or explanation failed to solve the problem, we tried something else. We did that over and over again on the entire process. Over all those years and all those classes the small, incremental improvements we made added up and Windsor chairmaking became very doable. In short, these videos are the results of many years of effort focused on the sole purpose making it effortless."

I never thought I would look forward to Tuesdays as much as I do now. I remember doing all of these steps in 2007 when I took a sack back class. Now with these videos and my notes Im ready to build another. Thanks Mike for all of your knowledge and teaching.

Having built some 40 plus Windsors all based upon your techniques and a dozen of your classes at the Institute, I'm still anxious to see each new episode. Thanks Mike. That power drill works great, but I still love the curl I get from my spoon bits with the brace.

Yup. I remember the spoon-bit speech. I had to go down to the fire station to try out their new defibrillator after seeing him with that cordless drill.

Great video, still checking my class notes to the video. Glad I did as it looks like I missed a couple of nuances that are certainly good to know. I look forward to the other videos coming soon.

That is part of my purpose, Mike. If you go back and watch and episode several times you'll pick up all kind of little details. In a class I could answer questions, but I couldn't rewind.

is there any particular reason the seat grain runs side to side? I see a LOT of mass produced chairs with front to back, multi-piece seats...

And the mass produced chairs (sic) split, do they not?

amazing I cant imagine old timers in 1780 s doing this angle work with hand drills!!! the chairs must have costed a fortune for them to buy a months wages>
@thewindsorinstitute2047 Жыл бұрын
The craftsmanship is amazing. Actually, around 1800 a Windsor chair sold for about $2.00. That was two days wages for a typical worker.
@fishhuntadventure Жыл бұрын
@@thewindsorinstitute2047so essentially that works out that a ‘commodity level’ Windsor built today should be about $600

It would be much more convenient to make a marking and drill holes on a flat surface and then give the seat the desired shape
@fishhuntadventure Жыл бұрын
…except a) you might get tear out in the work, but more importantly is b) as you work down the shape of the seat board the presenting location of the entry layout for predrilled holes would move out of position from the template- and even if you compensated with layout “anticipating” this position change is unpredictable due to the nature of hand shaping: no two seats are laser-scanned identical.

I genuinely thought the human body best functions with a forward slant while thighs are still supported and spine aligned. I don’t understand the condescension in the video and through the series and thought that what were in the books was just editor’s failings. It’s sad too, because I learned a lot from Mike’s book and videos over the years; I’m just always struck by the condescending attitudes as a thread throughout his works 😕
