Get ready for some new and as yet unseen techniques. In this project, Paul introduces a few trade secrets and especially so for cutting the perfect housing dado.
Cutting hand-cut dovetails on a project like this is an immersive process leaning towards therapy. Paul anticipates that you will love the whole process as much as he did filming it.
This is a brand new project to make a wall-hung cabinet with double doors and a drawer in solid oak. We start with the rough-sawn wood and prepare the stock for edge-jointing and panel making.
Having recently completed the dining table and six chairs, Paul moved on to building a wall-hung drinks cabinet from solid oak.
This final episode in completing a set of dining chairs for Sellers’ home takes care of all the little details any maker must go through to bring everything to a quality completion.
With all of the seat slats formed and planed, it’s time to shape them, refine them, and fit them to the chair.
In the process of designing and making the prototype, Paul changed his mind to make the version better. Join us to see how we can make a mistake, fix a correction and, with just a little effort, end up with a good outcome.
We take you step by step, from gluing up the seat frame to aligning and fixing the back slats into the recesses you will cut in this episode.
Often it’s the small details we put into our projects that determine how well the result looks, and that is especially so in any uniquely different project. Shaping for practical and decorative reasons is exemplified in these dining chairs.
