Now for a little history about this DVD: Will had fallen in love with this famous cherry table, so he made several attempts to recreate it from referring to photographs. But Will is a perfectionist, so he noticed that it just didn’t look right…especially the legs. And neither did the myriad other attempts from other furniture makers who tried to recreate this famous table. So Will and I flew up to Massachusetts and measured & filmed the original at the Hancock Shaker Village (see my original tours of the Hancock Shaker Village here).

Will measured and templated the cherry candle stand, carefully tracing the vital leg curves and spindle:

Here is a photo of the original candle stand; so elegant and utilitarian:

In addition to measuring and filming the candle stand, we measured & filmed the famous and charming Isaac Youngs wall clock, which Will and I will release a DVD of in the upcoming year:

Then Will spent several months making more versions of the candle stand, with the correct measurements. The candle stand finally looked perfect…especially the legs:

Hi Joshua, I recently purchased Building the Hancock Shaker Candle Stand with Will Myers and am very pleased that you both went to all that effort! I think it is one of the most inspiring tables out there. I am wondering if you have additional photos or measurements of the cleat? There are some significant differences between the one made by Will and the original depicted in the video. Specifically, I noticed that the original cleat has multiple bevels along… Read more »
