Join Patrick Perkins as he shares his knowledge and experience designing and building Windsor chairs. Topics include types of woods and antique-style tools used, how logged wood is fashioned into finished chair parts, and combining milk paint and oil for a durable finish.

Patrick Perkins built his first Windsor chair in the early 1980s. He has since built many Windsor chairs in several different styles using the same techniques and tools used throughout the 18^th century.
