I’m making two Chippendale style side chairs, to go with the hallway table that I have already designed and made. The design of these chairs are similar in style with the same grape & leaf carvings with scrolls. Both the chairs and hallway table are made out of American black walnut. I’ve been working on the Back splat and crest rail, it sure is a lot of fun and a challenge so far. Thank you for looking and happy woodworking!
Gluing up the four legs.

Re-glue the lid back together, and even squared it up, too….Took out my frustrations on a pair of chisels…

Well, I was going to do Olde School and chisel/chop them out..
Was taking way too long…Thought there MIGHT be a quicker way….Seems the tenons are 3/8” thick….hmmm
I do have a decently sharp 3/8” Forstner bit….I’d still have to lay out the mortises the same way….then clean the mortise out with a chisel..
Seemed to go a little quicker…..like about 3 this way, to 1 the other way….able to get a few dry fits, too…
Even t...

I just recently harvested hickory and dog wood for my tooling handles. I’m letting the wood dry now untouched. My next steps are to make my anvils out of A11 steel which when I researched is harder than any of the anvils they use today and better than some of the older anvils. I’m looking for tips, advice, and techniques on a blacksmith table. I have wood and metal to use. This table will double over as a woodworking table and the shop itself will be made outside so I have ventilation. Any su...

I am carving a design into a flat table top , to be used outdoors at sub zero temperatures. I was told that you cannot protect it with an epoxy resin finish in outdoor conditions. What are my other options to seal the carved grooves outside ?

The braced soundboard is mounted onto the guitar sides in this video. The back is also prepped with braces, getting ready to enclose the sound chamber.

Here I finally take the neck I glued up in an earlier episode and shape it with drawknife, rasp and sanding.
This is part 8 of the making of a guitar after a 44 year hiatus from from having made them long ago in my youth.
It is as I learned it in Camden, Maine from Luthier Nikos Apallonio in the mid 70’s. The process uses only ordinary shop tools and simple homemade jigs.

The past couple of days I fashioned a sound hole rosette and inlayed it into the top.
A short Video of it here, or click the picture
