I make Windsor Chairs in much the same way they were made 200 years ago. I have published numerous articles on chairmaking and have taught in craft schools both here and abroad. My chairs are in the permanent collection of the Tennessee State Museum, the Southern Highlands Craft Guild.
John Neeman hand forged tools. Hendersonville, Tennessee, United States. I make windsor chairs and period furniture. I love everything about wood.

Yes, I use an electric drill. Last summer I learned a handy technique for free hand drilling and reaming from Greg Pennington. It has taken me a while to replicate his setup, but I have it now.
Musings, random thoughts, and shared discoveries from the shop. Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Such is the case with me. I did manage to get a chance to finish carving the spindles for my chair last Saturday. Before I did that I took a few minutes to sharpen my drawknives. While the edges felt sharp and would grab a finger nail, I could tell by the way they were cutting it was time for a quick tune-up. Bevel down knife and the Drawsharp.
Note the baffling configuration of fluorescent lights. Can you guess which two work? Many an hour did I stand in front of that bench. The northerly sand dune slowly consumes its vertical green companion. Waterstains from a generation of floods. In spite of all of its shortcomings, this little shop enabled some of my most productive time as a woodworker.
