I ran into Dewey this morning with my coffee. Turn the volume on if you watch it,..acoustics are great. Not a power tool one used as far as I could find. Not many hand tools for that matter.

It threw me when you said you "ran into him" 

 

Awesome video.

Loved the video. A simpler time back in 1975 especially in Appalachian, Kentucky. A very resourceful man who knew how to make do with what was at hand.  Would have loved to have spent time with him and bought one of his chairs.  Thanks Aaron for sharing. I truly enjoyed it...took me back in time.

I've watched this video a few times before, it never gets old, I loved it, and still love it today, thanks for sharing here Aaron! I always get a crack outta his greeting when the neighbors pass by in their car. 

The attention this craft is getting today is wonderful, chairmaking is back in a big way over the last few years, specifically the raw form of chair making. Love this craft!

We have several old style chairs here at the house. The maple one I bought somewhere years ago and refinished. The other one was passed down.

Those are some fine examples Aaron! I love them! On my bucket list is to make seats like those, it's a process but I love it. Beautiful chairs there sir! Look at that figure in the first chair's front and rear legs. Is that the one you refinished?
