| Amish Furniture Construction Techniques | | 2008-05-30 07:57:16 | | Most people are under the impression that the Amish use nothing but hand tools, like block planes, hand drills, buck saws and the like when they build furniture. This is not the case. While it’s true they don’t use the “plug and play” type tools you see all the time like circular saws. What they do use is belt or air driven tools. They’ve basically adapted the same technology our country used in the early part of this century.
Behind their shops you’ll find 2 things a diesel engine and a fuel tank. The diesel engine is hooked up to a drive shaft that runs under the floor of the shop. From there they have a belt that goes up into whatever piece of equipment they need to produce their furniture. Planers, drill presses, table saws and a few others are the most commonly use equipment.

In the lower units like plasma stands, occasional tables and even the dining room table it looks good but in the larger pieces like hutches, side boards, armoires, dressers and such it just doesn’t look right. I think they would look better if the angle were smaller down to 4 or 5 degrees not 8 or 10 like you see.
Now there is also a leg version of this style in the occasional tables and chairs which to be honest I think is butt ugly.
Personal taste obviously comes into play but I just hate thos front legs. If you add an nice swept leg to the front instead of that big blocky thing I think you’ve got a chair that is really good looking and comfortable. When I sat in it I almost bought one for the floor because it’s so comfortable but that ugl | | By: Amish Furniture Reviews | | |
