Frame and Panel Bed building process by Doucette and Wolfe Furniture Makers
Gorgeous, but shows that tiger maple is virtually impossible to glue into a panel and make the joint line disappear. It cannot be done.
Awesome! I keep coming back to your videos. Make more!
I see that you’re even using hand blown glass for the panes. That’s an eye for detail. ❤
Exquisite ❤
Que buen trabajo, exquisito.
Always a delight...
Fantastic work.
Lovely 🎉
As a carpenter with traditional cabinet making training I look at this and just vicariously enjoy your and know I can do a lot of the elements in this kind of build I just know I don't have enough skill to pull it all off yet. Well done in short! Fabulous work
I'm looking forward to new videos
Четыре года прошло - как стол? Повело наверное?)
Que buena obra , tiene usted muy buena herramienta en mi país es muy difícil de conseguir y esta a precios exorbitantes.
Beautiful work! Exceptional craftsmanship! I have never tried a piece this intricate - one day.
Part 2 please!
If Leonardo DaVinci was a woodworker
Very impressive! Even making one reproduction chair looks hard, but so many and so consistently? That’s real craftsmanship! Very well done! 👍🏻
nothing nicer than to accept the commission for work with no discussion as to cost, it'll cost what it costs at completion. May not be applicable here, or always, but sure is nice when it crops up...
does anyone know the new of the song playing in the background?
Art truly!!!!
Why are you no longer posting?! These are some of the most beautiful and inspirational pieces I have seen
Superb content and work!
Secretary desk !
Az évek során sok , talán minden videodat megnéztem ,akár töbszöris. Öröm nézni ahogyan dolgozol és a végeredménjtis. Számomra írígylésre méltó hogy a szemvedéjednek , és a szemveddéjedböl élsz . Gyönjörü dolgokat csinalsz, gratulalok.
Who on UA-cam is still doing this quality of workmanship. I really miss watching them work.
I love your work. How did you put your drawer bottoms in?
Magnificent! Congratulations!
Does the wood movement from the carcass ever displace the moulding going around the top?
👍💪💪💪👏👏👏🙏
As an old fella who's trying his hand at dovetails, my hat goes off to you sir. Your skill level is simply amazing. I'm so happy to see that you have kept the old skills alive and well. Thank you and I can only hope you pass these skills on to the younger generation.
Beautiful. The detail and craftsmanship, selection of wood and finish is to be admired.
MAHOGANY BRAZIL?
Is this guy even alive anymore?
$400,000 - $500,000…..thats my guess
Why you dont post video any more?
I love how these artists are using antique tools, so authentic!
I have a small 30 inch three drawer block front chest made in Boston around 1870. It's the sweetest little hunk of Honduras mahogany. I bought it because it just fit between two windows in my living room. I know the form was used by other cabinetmakers but I think the Goddard-Townsend workshops perfected it!
How I can paint the round sticks in Windsors chair? Please....
Cómo quisiera ser tú ayudante, saludos desde león gto México
Dios le bendiga Maestro,espero que se encuetre bien,me gustaría que publique más videos,un abrazo a la distancia,saludos desde Perú
Exelente trabajo,puedes decir que madera es,gracias
Amazing chatoyance.
Love those book matched dust ports on that overhead router setup! 😂
If I had a crotch like that, I would be so Happy!
Love that celery green upholstery on those sleek walnut chairs.
Doing a “One-Off” is one thing but knocking down identical Multiples is another animal requiring a discipline which most mortals never develop.
Nice collection of different Spokeshave sat work……
Makes me want to sit down and write My Memoirs. 🤓
Love that Door Closing “The End”.
A symphony of hybrid craftsmanship. 🎵🎼🎶
Love that Compass Plane and Spokeshave working combo for fairing and refining those curving legs. Hand tools are sensuous when used properly!
