I really hate to say this but I’ve watched the end of the video a number of times and I really don’t think you made the second chair. It really appears as though you bought a replica Eames Lounge Chair then spray painted and reupholstered it. In the detail shots where you talk about the thickness of the plywood, it’s clear that there’s no evidence of the kerf bending technique you used on the first chair. The plywood appears to be steam bent or laminated directly around a form, which you made no mention of. Aside from the tight curves, there’s a gentle curve along the width of the seat that couldn’t be made with the techniques and construction you described. I’ve looked around and buying the hardware individually would actually be more expensive than buying an entire replica chair, which would still be at least $600. There are many self-taught, low-budget, DIY furniture builders on UA-cam that build very strong pieces with limited tools and materials. It absolutely can be done and I’m not trying to say that it’s not possible to do on a budget or if you’re learning along the way, but what you’re doing is setting your viewers up for failure. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with admitting that something didn’t work out how you wanted it to, especially when you’re learning new techniques. But it’s not fair to tell your viewers “if I can do it, you can do it better” if you’re showing them how to build something that can barely hold its own weight then pretending that the process will yield much better results. It’s your obligation as a creator to not intentionally mislead your viewers, subscribers, and patrons. I found this video because I’m looking to build an Eames chair as well, so if I’m wrong I’d love for you to make an update video describing the process of building the second chair in more detail. If I’m not wrong, I think you owe it to your viewers to tell the truth.
Thank you! I'm not the only one who thinks this! I don't understand why she lied about it, it's very obvious she did not make the second chair, otherwise she would have documented it--saying she didn't think anyone would be interested in seeing the process for a second time is BS, of course viewers want to see MORE content! The difference in this finished product and all her others is night and day--tons of visible imperfections usually, which is not a bad thing! I love seeing the imperfections! But this one is a total lie. Made me less interested in watching this channel. Would have preferred if she told the truth and said it was a failure, much more relatable and honest. It's a bad look to lie to your viewers. Like, you seriously don't think that your viewers would be interested in how you built a PERFECT Eames chair replica on the second try with tools everyone has lying around the house?! Fake.
You ate and left no crumbs I’m glad someone said it
you can very clearly see evidence of her terrible kerf bending attempt at 21:05
I don't know about you, but my first try is always a mess. Second time around, I correct all the mistakes I made and take my time. This mean I end up with perfection. Also, her second chaor is uneven at the edges, which I personally would spend hours on sanding evenly.
@@rialdaosmanovic2142 you might do this but as you saw on her first chair, she wouldn’t. She didn’t even try to make the cushions the same size.
20 minutes of instructions and then straight up lied about the second chair.
Watching your video is a huge headache!
I appreciate the video . However I had to watch it in mute as it is too loud.
I really enjoy watching your videos! Even when things are "sloppy" it is still inspiring to know that anyone can make something and get better over time. But I am curious why you didn't show any pictures or videos or anything about you making the second chair? There are so many details about the shape and construction of the second chair that are such a big difference from your first one and, I don't want to accuse, but it looks like you didn't actually make that second chair. There are plenty of inexpensive Eames chair replicas you can buy online, and your second chair looks kind of suspicious--like it was bought and spray painted black and the cushions were just covered in that pink fabric. I hope I am wrong but it's pretty suspicious. Love your content, anyway!
Heyyyy! Thanks for the comment! I didn’t think anyone wanted to see the same almost identical instructions 2 times. I thought it would Be a lost of time for all of you.
I have to second this. The second chair doesn’t have any evidence of being “kerf bent” like the first chair was. At the very least, you used a much more complicated construction technique without explaining it at all. There are a number of other features that really make this look like you purchased a replica Eames Lounge Chair, which would be at least $600.
You the absolute best/coolest/funnest/craftiest. Appreciate you.
Hahahahah you are the best!!!! Thanks so much for the support
dude. AH-Mazing as always.
You are incredibly creative! The chair is fantastic and having the courage to copy the Eames Lounge Chair is amazing! So well done! Thank you for sharing 😊😘
Damn: this is a great video but you need to stop screaming around all the time! After 1 min i muted the video and watched it with subtitles!
hahahhah
this is wildly impressive!!!!!!
Where did you find the frames?
Seeing her is adopting her, is loving her
hahahhahahha yesssss adopt me!!!!
Hi, Where did you source the legs from? 70 USD? I cannot find something so 'cheap'
i got them on ebay
I would’ve enjoyed the video without the constant cringe of youtubers overreacting to everything.
Ok got it. I'll pay a сhinese dudes they know what to do.
Wow! I’m impressed by the quality of the end result!! 😍
Nico!!!!!! From you a compliment Comte’s at 1000000 ones!!!!!
clicking off because Tel Aviv
Your excitement is everything 😄😄😄😄
❤💕💖💕❤💕💖💕❤💕💖💕❤💕💖💕❤
Hehehehh 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You can actually bend plywood by steaming it.. the moisture & heat soften the wood to make it pliable & when it dries/cools it holds its shape.
Yap I know!!! But you need a steaming machine and I didn’t have that! Maybe that’s my next purchase! 🎉🎉🎉
OmG! It looks amazing. I've always been a lover of this chair, but the mere thought of making it at home blows my mind. I have a Classic Lounge Chair from Manhattan Home Design that looks very similar but your video has made me feel inspired to create an "Eames" at home and see how it turns out lol. Thanks for the tutorial. Very interesting. :D
Omg i love the wigs! Its so refreshing to see a creative person. A wood worker would cringe. I admire how you pulled it off. I love all your work. For so many years we allowed society to dictate polished and professional. Ikea has polished lines and finish with fiber board inside. Its a whole to world stepping outside the margin has inspired to be a better person. 🙏 look how you inspired me to create and the ripple goes on. ✨️ You are changing the world.
this comment really shoock me!!!!
It takes years of dedicated training to become a true carpenter, I think you did an amazing job.
The circular saw can be guided in straight lines using a homade jig. This can be made from would and there are lots of UA-cam videos on how to make one. This would not only help the lines but make it easier on your wrist too. The chair looks great. You should be very proud of yourself. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Yea you are right! I should have bought clamps and hold the wood like in place to pass the circular saw but o wanted to show that you can do it with little equipment.
The second time o used more equipment and patience and time
@@FashionAttack its always good to show things at the bare minimum, it can help others to understand and grow with confidence as they move from project to project. 🤗
So, when you made the second chair did you not take drugs and not shout? I can't tell if this is legit or not.
Hahahah I always shout 🤣
Love this video, you’re fun to watch:)
Thank you so much!!
love your videos - you should really invest in a wireless lav mic for your videos so you can move around and keep your audio balanced. comica and dji all make decent options that can help with the reverb and echo you're getting in your studio etc.
Ohhhhh thanks so much for the tip I will look into it
You did an AMAZING job on both chairs!!!! You're so inspiring. I love that you show the realness, it's how we all learn and you are so gracious to share 💜 I really want to make this one!
Thank you so much! you totally have to try!!!!! it's gonna look amazing! and send me a pictures on insta!
First! Love you😻
Hahahhaha yes you are first!!!!!!!!
this video inspired me for all the wrong reasons.
hahahhhha maybe wrong is the new right hehehe
Это пиздец🫣🤦🏻♂️
Your skills are unmatched! So you did two chairs? You should have shown both chairs at the end and compared them like you did with the new chair, so we can see the difference. I'm so impressed with you. You really can do anything! I love your new additions to your videos💙
Heyyyy thanks!!! I did show both of them!! First the “sample one” and than the modified one!
But you are so right o should have shown them one side by side to the other but I literally ripped off the fabric from the first one to use it in the second so I could not show them at the same time
Your energy reminds me of Vivianna from VivHairTherapy - You both have very contagious and fun energy ❤
i just saw her channel and loved her!
OMG! There's nothing in the world you cannot do. You're bold and such an inspiration.
Go bold or go home!!!! 🤣🤪
Micol I can’t stop watching y videos!!😍
👏👏👏 your attitude is basically my fave thing in all of your videos. The 2nd attempt was so nice! And the 1st attempt was necessary to make it better. My first reaction when I read you're recreating the Eames chair was "wow. The audacity" (in a positive way), but you pulled through, great job!
it was a tough one but you can do anything
End result obviously not what you built. Stop lying to viewers, please.
You have totally outdone yourself, incredible job!
I think I lost 10kg sweating to make it 🤣🤣
Awesome result…..pure genius!❤️
Einstein should be proud of me! Heheheh
Oh my god! I love the perfection of your second chair , you are awesome 😎
WELDING? try baking soda and superglue. Also called: coqui!
Serious??????
Is true
You did a absolutely beautiful job!!! Can I suggest a challenge?
The Wassily Chair 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 you’d for ever be my hero it’s Myyyyyy absolute favorite chair!!!
I SWEARRRRRR that’s was already on my dream list!!!! I need to figure out how to work metal in a simple way!
@@FashionAttack Maybe soon, 3D printing in metal ...
😱😱😱😱
@@FashionAttack maybe conduit pipe and there is a tool to bend it easy. Not sure how sturdy it is though.
I’ll find a way
U make my Day, todah, ur enthousiastes making female the masculine cow chair is great, vegan chicks may rest in luxury now too, Pink rules❤️🙂

Love you in the wigs! Where are they from please? You look amazing in all of them.
applause you are genius
❤️❤️❤️❤️ I required SO MUCH MATH! Hehhe my high school teacher would be proud 🤣
Omg! You kerfed thewood! You're fearless. I'm so jealous, I've wanted to try doing that. Now I have to try, after all my design diy hero did! I want an Eames chair so bad. I'm just gonna have to make on!
Edit: Don't worry about the pewho are picky about your mistakes. You decided to build an Eames style chair & you succeeded! That being said, the second one looks incredible. It also looks more substantial. I'm really so impressed. Your amazing Micol.
I was dreeeeeeeaming about having one since I was a teen!!!!! I need to be honest and it was one of the hardest chairs I’ve done cause of all the wood work Buttttttttt totally worth it !!!
@@FashionAttack I understand. I've loved Eames work since I too saw it as a teen. It's one of the things that made me start designing furniture. I've never built any to ge honest, but I have sketches and drawings filling notebooks.
You design furniture???? That’s so damn cool! Maybe one day you can build one of your drawing
@@FashionAttack I truly hope to eventually. It's why I started carving & wood working.
Hi from Atlanta! You are crazy genius!! Grateful for your videos. We can do it!
WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Enamorada de esta silla 😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Or vitra living Tower
This was a tonne of fun to watch. Thank you. Do you have a link for where you found the legs? Is it in your patreon account? Thanks!
If you'd like a new project, I am currently DIY'ing the CB2 Anacapa Lounge Chair, made with white oak dowels and Danish cord. :)
i just googled it! such an awesome pieceeeee! send me pictures i wanna see your DIY!
i had bought mine on ebay but yes i added under the plan also some links
it was the most annoying cringy thing i watched in the last 5 years.
you can tell someone doesn't take their craft seriously when they look like they're going to burst like ADHD kid strapped to a firework after consuming a 5lb bag of sugar and 5 pots of coffee.
Pretty sloppy work
Awesome chair........You are so brave and I love that about you. Your chair is gorgeous....😊🤗🙂😚😗😘❤❤❤
Not being scared of making mistakes has been my biggest luck in life. So many disasters and so many successes
The best video by far, I love the new concept. You got me hocked
So u think is really good job huh??
this is insane
Great job!
WOWWWWWWWWWWWW
I just love how sexy all of the DIY girls are ... no more old grumpy men operating power tools. Girls are in da house!!!
