am disappointed to see you using nails and power tools but still a nice vid
what else would u use
Traditional woodcraft skills… like i said still a nice vid but the modern day shortcuts kinda spoiled it for me, I'm old fashioned i guess.
aha no problem with that im new at these kinds of things that's why I said that I was just curiouse what you would say lol
wooden dowels not nails etc… i think you get it
still good work though
nice 🙂
I made it too very easy. just used stodoys plans and instructions.
Bentwood chairs have a very long tradition just check up Thonet-chairs. Only need to think of the No. 14 the classical bistro chair since the late 19th century.
