how to make a wooden door latches with wooden spring

[@bordenfleetwood5773]

I have taught myself leatherworking, bookbinding, calligraphy and medieval illumination and cartography, mostly through trial and error... ... And whenever Mr. Chickadee puts out a new video, I always find myself put squarely back in my place.

[@thomasarussellsr]

No one man is master of every craft. However, some come really close to master of several. There is always room for improvement and learning in every craft shop.

[@Ruud_R]

Working with no more noise than absolutely nescessary. I like that, a lot.

[@FloridaArtist777]

Love this! Thank you so much. There's some other channels that use these expensive machines to make this stuff, which to me only makes them braggarts, cuz most of us cannot afford such machines. Blessings to you and yours.

[@uprightfossil6673]

Watching how all those tools work makes them even more than just artifacts on my wall.

[@IR-nq4qv]

You're a young man with an old soul. Great work there, nice latch action.

[@daftnord4957]

we all have a primal desire for simpler, more authentic-to-nature lifestyle, but not everybody acts on it

[@davidaubin3449]

PERFECT, ONCE AGAIN. the way you work is like therapy, for the body and soul. I know it sounds corny, but I truly believe you are living a peaceful and for filling life!

[@jostrad]

For real. Thumbs ALL the way up, if for no other reason than you didn't chop yours off in the first 2 minutes like I undoubtedly would have. Your channel is the best. Gotta love a little adrenaline rush while watching ASMR woodworking.

[@billiondollardan]

All this beauty stems from that initial renunciation of the base materialism the world presents to us. This is special stuff

[@167curly]

Another good example of form & function from you, Mr. Chickadee.

[@tyrelirwin]

Look at those dungarees! So modern!

[@lewerim]

That dogwood brought memories rushing back. I love that stuff. Great gluts (wood splitting wedges). Good for any part that wears. Almost (almost) as tough and dense as persimmon...

[@alastairmackay4589]

Delightful watching something so intricate being made with hand tools - the only sounds being the razor-sharp blades and drills eating into the wood.

[@texanthom]

Looks and works great! I love the sound of wood on wood for some reason!

[@LegoMan-cz4mn]

you're not alone ;)

[@stlalways6715]

Same. Haven’t seen any of his videos but I hope he has already shown the pull string knob. Works just as well and adds a lock to the end result too. You just pull the string in from inside the house and people outside can’t lift the lever anymore.

[@hirephilip]

It's said that, even Saying "Thank You" is a Choice. "Thank You" for Taking the Time and Showing people what a True Artist & Craftsman Looks Like. I just wanted to simply say, I'm Grateful. God Bless You & Your Family.

[@levoy3829]

Every time I see one of your videos I see a piece of art coming together.

[@juliajanssens8432]

Ingenious - let's share these ideas and raise our levels of awareness !

[@ProXicT]

Have been watching your channel for years and always been wondering how you're so accurate with your axe! It's just incredible.

[@tonywatson987]

Super! The captions work a treat. Another satisfying video, thanks Josh.

[@georgechard4977]

I most enjoy your videos; they show a skilled, inventive, God blessed craftsman.

[@james_robnett]

Your videos are not as often as I would like but always worth the wait. I realize it's a lot of effort to make to thank you for doing so.

[@jessewalley1529]

All your videos are weirdly relaxing to watch. Thanks for sharing

[@CJLeTeff]

Beautiful job as always Mr Chickadee! 👍👍👍👍

[@ronharrington228]

You seem to blur the line between craftsmanship and art! Awesome!!!

[@MrMarkpeggy]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video with us.

[@robertlassiter5808]

That’s pretty cool! Very satisfying to watch for me. Always a pleasure seeing your beautiful work.

[@kurthausch7400]

Elegantly simple. A joy to watch you create.

[@zivahweirdnwonderful]

WOW. I need this in my life. Amazing!

[@nosaltiesandrooshere7488]

Dear Mr. Chickadee! 👍 Brass screw with lens head would be even nicer! But you also have to leave the church in village and use what you have at your disposal! Many thanks for uploading and sharing!

[@ronmack1767]

Enjoyed the video Josh. Great job on the door latch. I guess your glad to have heat in your shop now. Y'all take care and God bless.

[@cuban9splat]

Another excellent video of a Master Craftsman. Thank you for sharing this with us. You made my day!

[@raymondmendoza2428]

Wow just started wood working you are awesome. Thanks you for ur vide.

[@thomasarussellsr]

That is one awesome door latching system. Great Job Marine. Your skills with wood and blade are inspiring to this old Army Vet. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts and creations with us. Semper Fi, my military brother. Vini Vidi Vici

[@donaldtrabeaux1305]

Absolutely amazing craftsmanship

[@wildroses2649]

Really enjoy your videos

[@terryisaac8195]

Very interesting and informative. I enjoy these video tutorials that have no voice or music. It makes it easier to concentrate on the process of what you are doing! Thanks!

[@Crewsy]

That’s awesome and then some. Especially since it will latch on its own when closing. My Dad made a wooden latch for an A frame fort we had as kids built over an old swing set frame. It used rope to operate from the inside. It was made like the barn latches he had growing up in Newfoundland.

[@paulorchard7960]

Wow thats great, will watch it again, more than once and I have somewhere to use this latch!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

That’s an awesome job Josh, thanks for sharing with us.👍👍

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Mr. Chickadee. Simply fantastic again and as always! I love good quality videos without any talking at all. The pure sounds of nature and working make them very meditational/meditative. Your impressive craftsmanship is very satisfying to watch additionally. Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health.

[@25is27]

Left hand and right hand sawing. Very impressive. I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

[@MrTim3990]

Gotta love the Torx Head Screw , but, Hand tools and traditional wood fasteners are much more pleasurable!

[@ludvigtande1236]

Sweet. Snappy latch action 👍

[@alifacao]

PARABÉNS Mr. . BELO PROJETO . PINDAMONHANGABA - BRASIL.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

That latch makes thee most satisfying sound as it closes. So cool! Great job bud!

[@quietkate]

You've covered all the bases with tools, talent & tenacity.

[@rogerwatson5730]

Excellent engineering

[@samsara101]

Very, very nice! Great job!

[@baxterboy23]

How cool is that.. I didn't expect it to be self-locking 👍

[@jiricabadaj8397]

wow !!! very nice! Thanks for inspiration.

[@jayecurry1369]

That's damn cleaver! And, it works beautifully.

[@davepelfrey3958]

Brilliant design!

[@curtisvonepp4335]

It's so nicely done your cat could open the door kiddy kiddy .😁

[@advforops]

Now that is very cool and practical.

[@Ham68229]

You should make yourself a "shave-horse", (unless you already have and I've missed that video). Truly inspiring video, never thought of making a "wooden" spring for a door latch. As always, excellent video. Cheers :)

[@sethwarner2540]

A Very nice latch! Even elegant!!

[@westend3019]

Very nice, that's a new one for me.

[@yv6eda]

Beautiful art work!

[@T.E.P.]

thank you for another superb video of your passion and expertise!

[@NOREASTER_OUTFIT]

Watching your videos is like meditating for me, I sincerly enjoy them. Thank you

[@mikemeister458]

Mesmerizing stuff.

[@tkjazzer]

Love explanations in closed captions. If you add them to prior videos, let me know so I cam rewatch them

[@phippsto]

Great job and cool design.

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

really love to watch you work so relaxing. love the things you make

[@larry78cj7]

Looks like Matthias’s dads door knobs. I like the the spring.

[@tomlee7966]

beautiful work!!! love to watch you

[@dport4779]

Once again, awesome video buddy! Love the new format!

[@IveysFamilyFactotum]

Brilliance as usual...still catching up on your older videos...lol

[@eformance]

Hickory dickory dock, Mr Chickadee built a Lock! He cut down a tree, divided it by three, planed it smooth, and used the pitch for glue. His Smith Shop is safe, no one will brave, that Marine from Hudson bay!

[@zorroonmilkavitch1840]

I always remember hearing WC Fields talking about my little chickadee but there is a much better chickadee these days for sure and that is Monsour chickadee!

[@MrBiggybit]

Wow, extremely impressed!

[@bruceaplin]

Very nice and clever

[@moldingpro7208]

Very clever! You are amazing

[@BoB4jjjjs]

I did wonder where you were going with that one, excellent!

[@equinociodeverao8155]

It’s simply awesome !

[@benbolt8849]

Wonderfull to see you at work ... the komposituon of silence and meditation at work ... :)

[@MrGeroth]

Really nice 👍

[@LOOPPEY]

What a great way to solve that.

[@jessegrimm9274]

Just love what u do sir!!! 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

[@LegoMan-cz4mn]

I feel like after building houses out of wood, you start to look at wood, tools and joinery in a different way than a cabinet maker would

[@daftnord4957]

traditional wood worker thinks more about finding a material thats as close the the finished product as possible. A modern worker can only make what his power tools can do, more about precision than hand working.

[@MTknives]

Beautiful, so satisfying to watch.

[@philedgerton7892]

Love that dogwood! I made a carver's mallet out of some and I've been pounding with it for years and you can't really tell. I also used some for a plane iron adjusting hammer head and ditto. Nice color too! Great work on the latch. Smooth!

[@yamahabiker1937]

A hard wood that does not get enough credit as far as I'm concerned. Makes great arrows as well.

[@Gerry2210]

Excellent 👍👍

[@ALPACABOWLCOMPANY]

Nice job.

[@noeljshah1]

Just wonderful ❤️ 👌

[@jamesgreco5296]

Sheer brilliance!

[@costawaseswolle]

Bravo!! Gute Idee und solide Handarbeit. Good Job Sir 💎

[@daviddumont2513]

We are waiting the book with all your projects ! :)

[@thomasarussellsr]

I'd buy that (with video references?) Or even an E-book with links?

[@Rubbernecker]

You are a master....

[@WildernessgalM]

Amazing craftsmanship/absolutely brilliant!!!! I love watching your vids, thank you for sharing : )

[@seantap1415]

Nice work... Mad handtool skills, I enjoyed this very much. cheers

[@SmokeFlame1]

I love it.

[@KelikakuCoutin]

It is so beautiful, like a form of poetry, the way those components are formed, fitted, and tuned so they work and interact with one another. It is like the poetry of life itself. Thanks for the great content. Keep up the good work. בס״ד

[@Multiunitaz]

👍 Sir, we entered in wooden age!😀

[@billygarfield5520]

Very good!

[@julianeaston8607]

As always brilliant craftsmanship and ambidextrous on the tenon saw.

[@pepejuan2924]

Good work

[@rontocknell3592]

Brilliant!

[@yoruguamil]

Is a beatiful work , I like !!!

[@Alarcon46]

O cara é mestre.

[@charlesloveday9208]

WOW, absolutely amazing and awesome too!!! I love how it's spring action works and the basic precision that's got to be a big deal of it!!! So simple and yet... it's a great idea to be as simple as it is!!! Love these videos... learn so much from watching your videos!!! Seems like I remember you having a helper of sorts at one time... what happened to him and why have you not used him any since???!! I'm still amazed at how much of all the projects you and your family (wife) Late Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you and your family... wishing you are still on Santa's "good boy"list!!!👏👏👏💯💯💯👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊🤙✌️
