I like that rocking chair. Beautifully done, well fitted together like a dream. Dad worked with hand tools all his life so I knew which tools were what. Thanks for a good memory.
Well, WOW! At first I thought, “Oh good, he’s building a rustic rocking chair for the porch”! OMG, the more I watched, the more refined each piece got! Then I saw it, a nice refined piece for the living room! Nice carve! 👍👍👍💖
It was the same for me. I really enjoy the combination of the more rustic seat and back and the highly refined stays. It was a lot of fun to watch that transition to see the parts become more and more refined. And I am really impressed with your skill, Chris! You can still see the chair came from a tree trunk, but it also shows attention to detail and fantastic handwork. lad that you enjoy that chair so much. Oh, and congrats on the compass plane :)
I used to watch Roy Underhill growing up... I feel like Chris is today's Roy Underhill but with sweat bands on his wrist and modern video equipment. Great work as always Chris!
Absolutely bloody amazing workmanship , last time I saw an Adzes used was when they were driving wooden piles on the sea defence on the South coast of England about 60 years ago ,the point and tapered round part on the top was all cut with the Adzs , then an iron ring was fitted to the top so the wood didn't split when driven about 20 feet into the beach..!..!
Nice completed project Chris..A lot of talent experience ,and hard work went into this amazing piece of art.Talk about the right tools for the job,that compass plane sure worked good on the curved rockers.When I was younger my Uncle showed me how to make hammer ,hatchet,and axe handles out of hickory, we used broken glass to smooth it for the refined, finished work ,I still do it this way don,t have all those specific tools,again nice work.nice video
That is a beautiful piece of work and worth all your effort. I am 70 and learned my love of woodwork at my father's side as a child. I used many of the tools in your video. Nostalgic moments and absolutely beautiful chair.

Je n'ai pas les mots rellement j'adore et je respecte votre travail !! Continuez, vous avez vraiment de l'or dans les mains (et les pieds 😁😉) 👏👍💪💪💪🤩😍🥰💖💖💖
Greetings, This is in itself a form of yoga-- the chair is being worked on with utmost concentration, and the mind takeen of all other thoughts. Then there is the PASSION, on the NOW AND HOW. SUPERB WOOD WORKING CRAFT. LITERALLY ALSO A 'WORSHIP OF THE TOOLS. It is indeed an inspired work.
I must say. I have been watching you for some time now. It is cool to see the progress (level of finished item) that you are achieving. Beautiful end results.
@@ChopWithChris lol, don't worry about it! You do great work, and you also have awesome ideas I've never seen! Keep up the great work! Your content is one of a kind! Very glad I found your channel. Thank you!
Me gusta tu trabajo Te felicito tú usas herramientas antiguas que no usan electricidad todas tus herramientas son manuales... tú sabes trabajar.. un saludo cordial
Chop With Chris thanks Chris!!! Can you show a video about how to Re handle the larger chisel adze? I have one(with side ridges though) and it needs a handle. But i dont want to ruin nice hickory lumber.
Wow you have great vision, to be able to see what you want from a log, without Any pattern, I like the Spalting pattern in the back piece of the chair, It's a heavy chair but fits a man perfect, Nice Job, yeah I liked that plane, I've never seen one of those before, and I search out antique tools, that foot powered lathe was pretty cool too,
Wszystkie narzędzia i maszyny są retro, tylko oświetlenie planu nie z tamtej epoki. Przydałyby się jakieś pochodnie... Filmy świetne. Dużo można się z nich nauczyć. Dziękuję. :-)
Nice video, Chris. The rocking chairs look great! 👍🏻💪🏻 In between I thought 'Chris could use a compass plane'. 🤔 And then you go to a flea market and get one. 😁😉 I also have a plane like that, but I am missing one part, the one for clamping. 🙄
Loved the video and love the chair. that can go outside and no one can steal it off the porch. It is too heavy. many years of rocking. My chair was too light and it was stolen off the front porch.
Very fine craftsmanship.....one question: do you draw up plans or a design for these projects; or, as I kind of suspect, is it in your head and develops as it goes along? Best wishes and stay healthy.
Wonderfully creative use of that cherry tree. Its nice to see folks represent hand tool craftsmanship. I couldnt help wondering how badly you got poison ivy rash from cutting that trunk up in the woods. Around here, those vines are often poison ivy and they are everywhere. Lol
سلام. کارتون بسیار هنرمندانه و زیبا ست وقابل تقدیر با اینکه وسایل کارت همگی دستی وبدون نیاز برق والبته سخت واین کارتون را با ارزش وهنرمندانه تر نشان می دهد. Ok. Ok verigood
@@ChopWithChris Go a hard and laugh. It is YOUR ego that got binged up. ;-) FYI: I teach a course once in a while on art and your videos are the example for the art of woodworking.
@@ChopWithChris Thanks for the offer. If I was still teaching the course at the college I would take you up on that in a heart beat. I only teach the course once a year at our seniors' centre and the wifi is very marginal at best. I normally download clips to show and give them the URL in the handouts. BUT along that line, maybe a video about why you like woodworking and prefer unpowered tools would be of interest to all your viewers.
