Video series: How to make a fan back Windsor side chair

This series consists of 20 videos and is more streamlined than the comb back series. It covers splitting the parts with a froe, shaping the parts with a drawknife and spokeshave, bending the crest, carving the seat and boring the mortises in the seat and assembling the chair.
