Listening to the podcast it really made me think about being too precious with wood. I have a variety of small pieces that I'm saving for the king's shoes that I realized that I should probably just use up. Great build.
I did this just 2 days ago with some mahogany that I had prepped for another project... a couple of years ago that didn't get off the ground, and I was like, "but it's mahogany" and then I looked at my STACK of reclaimed mahogany I've got (quite a lot) and I was like "yeah yeah ok ok - fine I'll use it and prep more IF I ever get around to doing that project".
"Saving for the king's shoes" What a great phrase. Am currently sitting on about a dozen 10 & 8/4 slabs (accumulated over a while) that I've been saving for something special. I guess I should try to make something special then.
I sat in a forest and would hear the birds sing. I was cut down so Jimmy could make things. I felt his hands push and pull. I just thank God I'm not a salad bowl.
Incredible build. I like how you used the disc sander to get those flat joints. Really good lesson in how to stay free in the build. That total boat looks awesome. The boots are incredible too. Hopefully Carolina gets a chance to film some live sessions with it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥👊✊💪🤠
As a person who works in the field of renovation and carpentry, I must say that you are wonderful, you have excellent and practical explanations, practical techniques and skills, and you are also a creative person. Every time I watch you, I enjoy working in this field and seeing people like you.
Sam Maloof loved the wood and always waited until the design called for that piece of wood to be used... Other times he designed the piece to fit the wood ... You picked the right man to inspire your design here. Great work.
I love your approach to projects. I'm an illustrator, and at this point with enough projects under my belt, I don't like to overplan from the beginning so I can let whatever I am doing become what it needs to.
I miss your old videos where you didn’t care about anything. You would use your zoom edit and just show us how it’s done. You gave us an idea. Love you diresta been watching you since I was 17
Great Result Jimmy, loving the organic feel of this stool, thanks for sharing your feelings while doing this, it's a great help to know that someone with your skill and experience can still feel intimidated and be anxious about committing before starting a challenging project with a beautiful piece of timber !
Love it! I was reminding me of Sam Maloof A few days ago I thought I'd try my hand at building a stool, nothing like this but just to make something different.
That is a gorges stool. It will support many great pickers in its existance. This is what we all hope for, to build things that last.Not disposable junk!
I think it would be well worth making another one - this chunky one will look great in a show room, and a stool from thinner stock would work really well at home.
That looks really good. That's a solid stool for sure that's never going to break. I thought it also looked really good before you took the palm sander to it, with all the lines and slight divots from the wood carving disc. Gave it a raw look. But it's also beautiful the way you did it.
Beauty! I have a chunk of hickory and you have me thinking... Those U-haul felt blankets make for a great sound deadener/insulation. Myself and my Wife gutted an 86 VW Jetta and the old insulation/sound deadener was shot. A Neighbor up the hill had a few of those blankets that he gave to us.
I just took my second tour through Sam Maloofs house in Ca. The amount of work on his property is amazing. Some of his joints are near invisible. Some have been worked to showcase the joint itself, drawing attention to it. There is still a storeroom filled with walnut there but good choice woods were hard to come across even then. The local lumber store, Petersons, would contact him when they received a particularly good shipment.
You're a talented guy who knows his strengths and weaknesses and his tools! I sculpt my furniture projects and use the tools I know. Was thinking about the 1 inch blade for cutting ( new) lol! Great "on the run" pattern making. Always good to hear you discuss the mental process. I always quote you about learning on the first piece. Then I hope I can remember it! LOL!
I love the solid look. .awesome only thing I would have suggested is elongated holes in the stool so the seat could expand and contract with moisture changes and not split the seat😊 (but I'm no expert that is for sure) great job!
Straight and level is important.. But your freeform style is so organic and has a very artistic quality. Honesty makes a rookie like me so very jealous...
I've been bandsaw sculpting a walnut chunk that I saved from the firewood pile just last week. I felt a little naughty doing it, knowing I've cut the tree limb myself just a year back, and knowing I could do so much more stuff with the rest of the parts that I milled back then, or just stacked for bbq; every now and then I would pause and ask myself "what would Jimmy do?" 😅

Awesome build! And thank you for the introduction to the chain saw attachment to the circular saw. I need one.
Beautiful work! I love that you always push yourself to do things that are outside your comfort zone.
".....You're not gonna cut up that piece of walnut for that are ya ? " ..Fantastic as always!

Beautiful, looks great. Love the lines.
Love it! I was reminding me of Sam Maloof

To quote Jim Carrey: B-E-A-Utiful!
Great job and craftsmanship Jimmy!
That is a gorges stool. It will support many great pickers in its existance. This is what we all hope for, to build things that last.Not disposable junk!

Jimmy, you are an inspiration. Thank you!
Thank you!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING JIMMY!!! That’s a real beauty. Love the engraving.
I think it would be well worth making another one - this chunky one will look great in a show room, and a stool from thinner stock would work really well at home.
Always watching for ideas on my ranch!!

Beautiful Job Jimmy
Моё глубокое уважение. Стул на тысячу лет..
Excellent result. One to be very proud of Jimmy.
Nice work! Love the phantom logo.
That looks really good. That's a solid stool for sure that's never going to break.
I thought it also looked really good before you took the palm sander to it, with all the lines and slight divots from the wood carving disc. Gave it a raw look.
But it's also beautiful the way you did it.
Gorgeous!!! Dude, was hoping to see it in the space it will live!!! ah well. Beautiful work.
I love using the cut offs from large table legs to make smaller side tables.
Wow , thats one strong built, awesome looking stool , excellent work
leap of faith... it takes guts and experience. Nice work.
Damn that is clean!! Great job, Jimmy!
Beauty! I have a chunk of hickory and you have me thinking... Those U-haul felt blankets make for a great sound deadener/insulation. Myself and my Wife gutted an 86 VW Jetta and the old insulation/sound deadener was shot. A Neighbor up the hill had a few of those blankets that he gave to us.
Beautiful stool.
Stellar stool. Well done.
Good, solid stool. For screws one can also use the beeswax trick, works well.
Beautiful. I love the natural "grown" look of the legs.
Thanks for telling us your thought process. It really helps.
It looks great!!!
Fine work Jimmy! Looks stellar. I meant to tell you in-person last weekend.
work of art this stool. i luv stuff like this
That's a piece you'd love to see in your living room. I'm sure Phantom Rider were very pleased with the result!
You were hurting me cutting into the walnut Jimmy.
I remember cutting a walnut block i had for over 20 years.
I just took my second tour through Sam Maloofs house in Ca. The amount of work on his property is amazing. Some of his joints are near invisible. Some have been worked to showcase the joint itself, drawing attention to it. There is still a storeroom filled with walnut there but good choice woods were hard to come across even then. The local lumber store, Petersons, would contact him when they received a particularly good shipment.
Beautiful. I love it.
Sooo cool! Beautiful work, Jimmy!!
❤️❤️❤️
Love it Jimmy. Great stuff!
That was really cool to watch. It’s a great piece.
Impressive work!
You are a master fabricator the stool is awesome and once again a very interesting and enjoyable video.
That is amazing, nice job 👌

Great "on the run" pattern making. Always good to hear you discuss the mental process. I always quote you about learning on the first piece. Then I hope I can remember it! LOL!
In a word..... SWEET!! Nicely done Jimmy. Thank you sir.
I love the solid look. .awesome only thing I would have suggested is elongated holes in the stool so the seat could expand and contract with moisture changes and not split the seat😊 (but I'm no expert that is for sure) great job!
Loving these voiceover versions.
Nice work and a good edit.
Another amazing piece 👍🏻
Really awesome. Great make Jimmy.
That band saw is very cool. Nice project.
Great work my friend. I mean seriously just Wow!!!
Awesome project, enjoyed watching it! Thanks for sharing
That's freaking sweet Jimmy! Hard to beat the figure of walnut🎉
Straight and level is important.. But your freeform style is so organic and has a very artistic quality. Honesty makes a rookie like me so very jealous...
Love your old bar clamps. I have several old ones like those. Not to flashy but sturdy enough. ClampOn

Perfect timing dude. I want to make a guitar stool for myself. Thanks for sharing your process 🤙
Well-done!
What a beautiful piece of work!!
