Make Your Own Tapered Reamer | Essential Windsor Chair Making Tool

In this video, I make a tapered reamer used for tapering mortises for chair leg tenons — an essential tool in Windsor chair making. Rather than buying one, I show how to make your own using simple materials and hand tools. Being able to build the tools you need is a powerful skill, especially when working traditionally. This tapered reamer allows you to create accurate, clean tapered mortises that match your chair leg tenons perfectly. It’s a simple but extremely effective tool that has been used in chairmaking for generations. If you enjoy hand tool woodworking, traditional joinery, and making your own workshop tools, this one’s for you. Let me know in the comments — do you prefer buying specialist tools, or making your own? #woodworking #handtools #windsorchair #chairmaking #traditionalwoodworking If you would like to support what I do: You can buy me a coffee PayPal https://paypal.me/ManInShed Contact me @ [email protected] My New Whiskey Channel    / @thewhiskeyshed.4105   MY Instagram   / man.in.shed   The Whiskey Shed Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the.whiskey...
