Last month we built a bunch of Irish stick chairs with Rex Krueger, James Wright and Eoin Reardon, and they have begun posting videos about the process.
Here is Rex’s new video on the adventure. It gives a great overview of our week – including the tacos and pizza.
James Wright – Wood by Wright – has posted a few great videos that show how we built the chairs using a variety of methods, including a frame saw and a band saw.
Here’s the main video from James. He also gathered up all his reels here. After the chair build ended, Rex and James headed out to Homestead Heritage (my favorite tool store). Then James and Eoin Reardon went on a literal odyssey across the Eastern United States to see tools and hand-tool woodworking.
And Eoin’s posted clips of the trip from his Irish perspective.
The videos are fun and much much better than the stuff I post. If you want a great taste of what it’s like to build stick chairs, you’ll enjoy these.
I hope the four of us can get together again. The craft is always more fun when you do it with a group of goofballs.
