Strange Lucifer....
Seems these videos are being deleted. Not just from youtube, but other sites as well. I do have a link with the video of intetest...has others as well.
I'm afraid to post the link here, as it could lead to them being removed there as well. What you all think?
Missing information.
Hi Lucifersum Woofwoof!
Not so strange 🙁
"This video has been removed by the user."
Is more common than could be expected.
This happen also with pictures and texts.
One could expect to use threads as "house/repository", to save and "protect", some useful information.
And I'd say DA is reliable enough protecting the information, as we can read things written 10 years ago.
Sometimes I was surprise reading articles years before, and nice how time passes and our perception on the same article/thread changes but the text remains intact.
But do not happen the same when the information is in a link...
And as this time, when something "disappear", and just a year ago!, or less, When this happen I guess that in 10 years too little links will work..., when I read an old thread with a link (most old threads have no links) and works I am actually surprised,
Don't know what could be better.
That's why when I find an important text I copypaste the full text, had happen some times, that the related link disappeared or perhaps removed is the word for some cases.
For videos would try to save it in your computer perhaps? I don't know how to do it/or if can technical do it, I suppose can be.
Good luck with the search... And if you are lucky... save it somewhere...
Here you go
I found them by googling "video of hans wegner chair being made" (without the quotes). This link was on the first page of the results.

Thanks for posting the new link to this video--
it's a better version, to boot.
I'd looked for this several weeks ago (in need of a fresh dose of "The Chair")and was disappointed to find it'd been removed.
(Sigh)... what a beautiful thing The Chair is.
I'm also tickled by the slightly ominous & very Teutonic last lines of the narration:
"The leather is vegetable tanned and has received no surface treatment so it is very, very delicate. But over the years it is very probable that the chair takes on the patina that The Chair and its owner DESERVE."
.
this is maddeningly frustrating for me, not at home so no broadband to watch the video AND my workshop is in pieces and is just a big hole in the ground at the moment, I even have a duplicating attachment for my lathe now! But no shaper, if you guys mean a spindle moulder, those things are frightening.
Your descriptions are great though, could someone technical be good enough to use 'getvid' or 'keepvid' or one of those things to download the .flv file so its not lost?
SDR could you explain how the tenon is fitted into the leg? Thanks again, can't wait to see it!
The videos mention that the...
The videos mention that the Copy Turning Machine (being shown to make the arms of the chairs) was acquired by PP Mobler in 1984. Was the process of duplicating these irregularly shaped chair parts done in a significantly different fashion, say, back in the 1950's? A Copy Turning Machine appears to be entirely mechanical (as opposed to the CNC machine they also use, which is highly computerized). Does anyone know if Copy Turning Machines were commonly used back in the 1950's? I am assuming that these furniture parts were not all carved out by hand back then, using spoke shaves and the like?
I would imagine
I would imagine they were turned by hand, in the same manner rifle-butts are turned. I don't know this for fact tho.
The movies were SO beautifully made. It was pouring the last few days here so I sat around and watched them all a few times. I was really struck by how the craftsman embraced the new technology (copy-lathe, cnc machine) rather than thinking of it as 'cheating'. I felt the same way the first time I used a leather skivving machine for bookbinding (rather than by hand - cut an inch or two, sharpen knife, cut another inch, sharpen knife... repeat)
