Hey, this is Furniture Forensics.

It's the series where we take old pieces of furniture

and find out where they came from and who made them and we're ready to go except we don't have a piece.

But don't worry, I know where to find one.

This will just take a second second.

This is perfect.

And yeah, of course I have permission to borrow this.

You know, my wife asked me that this morning.

What do you people think of me?

This is a buckboard bench.

I found it on my neighbor's front porch.

She was out having a glass of wine one night when I stopped by.

She saw me admiring it and she said,

oh, yeah, they would take the seats off of old horse-drawn wagons,

add legs, and make them into household furniture.

And right away, I was skeptical.

I mean, I know a thing or two about old furniture.

If people were making benches out of wagon parts,

I would have heard about that.

Or there's lots of things I don't know about, and I'm just wrong.

Turns out there's hundreds of these all across the Midwest.

Most of them are reproductions.

They're new pieces of furniture made to look like they were created from wagon parts.

But 70 or 80 years ago,

this was a real trend in furniture making.

People really did take parts from old wagons,

mostly the benches, and turn them into real household furniture.

Is that what we have here?

Do we have one of the real, legit, old buckboard benches?

Maybe.

The seat of this bench looks worn and old.

And yeah, you can fake that,

but it's difficult to fake the splits,

chips, gouges, scratches, and the general feeling of smoothness this has on all the surfaces that would have been used.

That's the sort of thing you only get after decades of use.

And this seat was definitely made by hand.

There's no machine planer marks,

no sanding scratches, but there are lots of spots where there's light tear-out.

Just what you would expect if the whole thing was quickly planed up with a jack plane right before it was assembled.

Then where these two boards come together there's obvious planing marks over here.

This board must have stuck out a little bit

so it was quickly planed flush with a jack plane after it was put together.

Finally there's this broad flat chamfer all the way around the outside of the seat board.

It looks nice and it would have helped any rain to drip off the edge of the seat.

Now it's very well executed,

very flat, but the top line of that chamfer has just a little bit of waviness that you would expect from handwork.

This thing was definitely made with hand tools.

The whole bench is made of sycamore,

which you see a lot in Northern Ohio country furniture,

and all the joinery is done with hardware.

That's great news because hardware is easy to date.

All the joints are done with screws,

so this corner joint is made by screwing through the backboard into the sideboard.

All the side boards are screwed down into the seat and the corners are reinforced with these corner brackets.

If we look at these brackets it's obvious that they're not as crisp

and nice as something you'd buy today but they're definitely not hand forged.

This is early factory made hardware.

Now a lot of the screws especially on these brackets are modern replacements

but it's easy to tell which screws are the old original ones.

One of those original screws was loose and I very carefully backed it out to take a closer look.

And this is a Gimlet Point screw.

This is the first generation of mass-produced affordable screws.

Before this, screws were actually made one at a time,

hand-filed by the blacksmith, and they were so rare and expensive,

they were only used to hold hardware on fancy pieces of furniture for rich people.

The gimlet screw was a huge leap forward because it made screws much more plentiful and much cheaper.

The gimlet screw was invented in 1845,

but you've got to give it a couple decades to spread across the country and get inexpensive.

Nobody would have used new expensive hardware on a cheap country wagon.

So looking at all the hardware and the timbers here,

I think we can say that this bench was made somewhere between 1860 and 1890.

Which is pretty exciting, because that means the seat for this bench is real,

it's old, and it's local.

The seat of this bench is cool all by itself,

but somebody took that wagon seat and converted it into a real piece of household furniture.

How did they do that?

Did they do a good job?

And personally, I also want to know when it happened,

and maybe most importantly, who did the conversion?

Now, I've got answers to all of these questions.

Some of the answers are going to surprise you.

Overall, the maker did a great job with this conversion.

He started by screwing big battens to the underside of the seat.

Screws are smart here because that allows for wood movement.

Then, he sent the leg tenons all the way through the batten and the seat.

This is called staked construction.

And sending those tenons through the batten and the seat means they're going through a big,

thick chunk of wood.

that's going to be stable.

The ends of the tenons are trimmed nice and level with the seat,

and they're wedged with thick pieces of hardwood.

These are all techniques that I used last year when I made my three Moravian stools.

These are traditional, dependable techniques for taking a board and turning it into a piece of seating.

But what kind of woodworker was this?

What sorts of tools did he use?

Well, mostly machine tools.

There's a great angled bevel on the end of each of these battens,

and it's got the super precise look that you really only get with a table saw.

It's the same thing with the tenons on the ends of these legs.

100

They are ultra perfect, so it looks like they were done with a lathe.

101

And on top of that,

102

there's clear marks left from lathe dead centers on the ends of the legs.

103

These were definitely done on a pretty early electric lathe.

104

And on top of that,

105

there's planer marks on these battens,

106

so they were run through a planer or an early jointer.

107

It's tough to say, but they definitely weren't hand planed.

108

Now, what's interesting is these legs are beveled on the sides to make them into an octagon,

109

and those bevels are very irregular.

110

They were either done with a jack plane and done pretty quickly,

111

or maybe with a draw knife or a spokeshave.

112

So this guy was using a combination of hand tools and machine tools.

113

He was a hybrid woodworker.

114

Or maybe at the time that he did it, everybody was hybrid.

115

They just called it woodworking.

116

Now even with those details,

117

it's still hard to put a date on this conversion,

118

and we're going to have to look at some smaller details,

119

like the screws that hold the battens to the seat.

120

If you just look at these quickly,

121

they look just like the same slot head gimlet point screws we find on the top of the seat,

122

but there are some key differences.

123

They're bigger, they have a cleaner appearance,

124

and they've got a shiny silver surface.

125

These are galvanized screws that were dipped in zinc to keep them from rusting.

126

And galvanized screws didn't come in until the early 1900s,

127

and they wouldn't have become cheap and popular for a little while after that.

128

This kind of hardware pushes the restoration into probably the 1920s,

129

maybe the 1930s, but there are some other important details we have to look at.

130

Around the base of each of these tenons,

131

there is clear squeeze out of yellow glue.

132

And believe me, I know exactly how that happens when you're making a staked piece of furniture like this.

133

You put glue on those tenons,

134

you pound them into the mortises,

135

and then you immediately flip the thing over so you can wedge the other side before that glue sets up.

136

With this style of construction,

137

having some glue drip down those tenons is unavoidable.

138

Believe me, I've been here,

139

and this is very clear evidence of yellow glue.

140

It looks exactly like modern stuff.

141

Yellow wood glue didn't come in until 1951 when the Titebond Corporation introduced it.

142

Yep, same people we're still giving our money to today.

143

That glue didn't exist until the early 50s,

144

which means this conversion couldn't have been done until the early 1950s.

145

Now we know when and how this was done,

146

but I want to know who.

147

Who was the woodworker who made this buckboard into a piece of furniture?

148

And we can figure that out,

149

but to do it, we have to stop looking at the things he did well and examine his mistakes.

150

Because he made a couple, and they're pretty big.

151

The craftsman used screws to connect the battens to the seat,

152

but he didn't use enough of them.

153

He used three screws in a simple diagonal line,

154

but he should have used more.

155

You can see that over on the corner here where there is no screw,

156

the seat is pulling away from the batten,

157

and the same thing is happening here on the opposite corner.

158

What he should have done is used two screws on either end and one screw in the middle.

159

That would have given him a tighter connection.

160

I can actually flex this batten just with my hands,

161

and it would have held the seat much flatter.

162

When I made my simple Moravian stool last year,

163

I used that two-two-one screw pattern,

164

and it was super solid.

165

I didn't make this up.

166

I saw it on traditional furniture.

167

The other big problem is with these leg joints.

168

The tenons are great.

169

They've been turned perfectly.

170

The issue is the transition from the tenon back to the fat part of the leg.

171

This detail here, woodturners would call this a pommel,

172

and it looks really nice,

173

but it's much too abrupt of a transition.

174

There's even a clearly defined shoulder between the tenon and the pommel,

175

and that's a big problem.

176

In construction like this, you really need this part of the leg to be a smooth taper.

177

So as you apply pressure to the seat,

178

that tapered section can get forced deeper into that hole and tighten that connection.

179

When you have a shoulder,

180

that actually gives you a leverage point.

181

The leg can work back and forth and over time it's guaranteed to loosen.

182

And look, I'm not trying to pick on this guy,

183

but he made some other strange choices.

184

Like the legs are made out of really lightweight construction lumber,

185

probably western red cedar.

186

It's what they frame all the houses around here with.

187

These are just 2x4s that have been ripped in half,

188

and he even left some giant flaws and knots in them.

189

This leg has a knot the size of a quarter.

190

I can't believe it hasn't snapped yet.

191

And I know, I know,

192

you're thinking, Rex, you're obviously just nitpicking this guy.

193

If the construction was so bad, it would've loosened up.

194

The thing is, it did.

195

This leg is super loose.

196

And so is this leg.

197

And so are the other two.

198

Nobody sits on this bench anymore, because they can't.

199

We're all afraid it'll break.

200

And when you add it all up,

201

I finally know who did this.

202

It was a home gamer,

203

a hobbyist, somebody like us.

204

Somebody who had access to maybe not the best wood and a mixture of tools,

205

one or two fancy electric tools and a couple of old hand tools,

206

maybe passed down from his dad or his grandfather.

207

And this was probably done in the 1950s.

208

Everything about it says 50s.

209

And man, what an exciting time that must have been to be a woodworker.

210

World War II in the rearview mirror,

211

time for leisure and fun.

212

And finally, there were affordable woodworking machines,

213

things that you could just plug into the wall and you could buy on a working man's salary.

214

Stuff like a modest size electric lathe or a little table saw.

215

They even had crazy combo machines like a table saw with a built-in jointer.

216

Those things probably weren't a good idea or we'd still be doing them.

217

They probably weren't very safe.

218

But there must have been a great sense of possibility.

219

You know, even if you didn't train as a furniture maker,

220

even if you were just a little bit handy,

221

you could buy a couple of machines,

222

you could read popular mechanics,

223

and you could make stuff in your own basement.

224

I mean, I'm a hand tool guy,

225

and I go for stuff that was made longer ago in a different tradition,

226

but I still think back on that suburban person working in their basement

227

or their garage back in the 50s

228

and i think yeah it was the same spirit the same idea it must have been incredibly fun

229

and even

230

if this piece has some flaws it looks great consistent color

231

nice angles on the legs a real unity it doesn't look like two things just jammed together

232

and yeah it's a little rickety i'm not going to sit on it

233

but I think this thing was converted into a bench 70 years ago

234

and it's still being used as a little rustic coffee table you gotta call

235

that a win you gotta call the whole piece a win

236

and it's been extremely fun to look at pieces like this

237

videos like this are why I love my patrons this is

238

a weird woodworking video the algorithm doesn't like stuff like this it's not gonna get a million views,

239

nobody would ever want to sponsor a video like this,

240

but my patrons like this sort of thing.

241

In fact, this is the most requested video from my patrons because they're interested in the details.

242

They want to get into the weeds and know about the little stuff,

243

and they let me make these sorts of historical kind of academic videos

244

that I would never get to make otherwise and i'm incredibly grateful for

245

that i try to show my gratitude by doing a ton

246

of things for my patrons free plans discussion forum we're doing

247

a build along series where i give them a tiny little

248

bit of a table build every week we're building a little

249

shaker table together like five minutes at a time it's a lot of fun

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
