Shane, I'm not sure what YT has against you but, Man oh Man it just doesn't make any sense that my notifications are always jacked up & you have over 700 views & not one single comment. Enjoyable video as always Bud. The chair is something you definitely don't see everyday. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!! Oh, & PLEASE continue to let me know on da Gram when videos drop. I wanna show as much support as I can.
Yes! I have racked my brain trying to figure out why I don’t get comments on the videos. I honestly have no answer for it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Maybe try to find a way to lean a little more into what makes you unique. You are doing pro level work in a garage with unique designs, that's pretty rare. How do you make that content more accessible to us average guys who got a used table saw from Craigslist and a bunch of 2x12s form Home Depot? That's the kind of person I see commenting a lot on other channels.
Great points! I’ll definitely keep that in mind on the next project. I try to put alternate options in the video as I would have done prior to having some of the tools I have now. But I really appreciate the feedback!
Great job! Enjoyed the video. For the curved stretcher, no, I would not have been able cut that curve on my bandsaw. I think I would have been tempted to resort to a kerf bending with veneers or a bending a stack of laminations over a form. Regarding consumables, I go through quite a bit of denatured alcohol. So many uses; removing adhesive residue, loosening hot glue, cutting shellac, mixing dye stains, and cleaning tools.
Thank you! That’s a great idea for the curved stretcher too. That piece had me racking my brain for the better part of a day. It was one of those keep building and deal with it when you get there kind of things. That’s a good one! I hadn’t considered how much denatured alcohol I go through but you’re right, it’s uses are quite diverse.
hello there! would you say these plans are a sort of one size fits most? Or are its dimensions geared specifically towards your wife? Thanks so much, it is an amazing project!
hello again! I am wondering, is the angle of the legs, at the 85º meant for comfort purposes? Or aesthetics? Just wondering if I made the supports without the angle, whether the chair would be any less comfortable-- thanks in advance for your help!
Yeah it gives your legs some room to cant outward so it makes it more comfortable. I think you could do it without angling the legs but I would give it a go angled if possible.
@timberbiscuitwoodworks this is my dream chair but also yours are the only plans I have been able to find. I was wondering if this caN STILL be made if your working with more basic tools I am building up slowwwwwwwwly. I also will be using pallets so I know it is a big ask.
I'm going to make this with hand tools: pegged bridle joints for the joints, 3mm plywood laminated for the curved stretcher, proper mortice and tenon for the other stretcher and the connections with the seats (wedged). No dust, no noise, almost no expense... (and thanks to the gentleman for the idea and the plans!)
But you can't use pallet wood for this: save money by not buying the electric monsters, and buy some ash (or oak at a pinch): the curved shape needs tough, tough wood to work. Go get some from the forest: it's free. Rough cut it to the dimensions you want + an inch, and leave to dry for a couple of months. Work it when there's still some moisture in there (because dry ash--forget it) and it will tighten round your joints as it dries.

Thanks Mike! I truly appreciate it! Hopefully one day soon UA-cam realize is my greatness... and your taste in quality videos. 😉
Agree, strange there are not more comments. I thought that about more than one video on this channel.

Man that turned out gorgeous 😍 and those 90° tabs were genius. Great build brother!
Thanks man! Yeah I think the clamping tabs are a huge help. I’ll be doing that on all my weird curved joints from now on.
Great job! Enjoyed the video.

Great project , Well done!
Thank you! I had a ton of fun with this build.
Such a beautiful chair, I bet it works your cores!!!
Thanks! My wife says it definitely does!
hello there! would you say these plans are a sort of one size fits most? Or are its dimensions geared specifically towards your wife? Thanks so much, it is an amazing project!
I would say yes, within reason. I have used the chair and have no issues with it but if you're 6' 5" it might be small. Glad you enjoyed it!
Sweet project! I use a ton of sand paper.
Thank you! And for sure, sandpaper is a hot commodity!
Use a scraper: they're free and do a better job!
@@melefth I mean, sure. But it really depends on the application and am constantly redoing the burr on all my scrapers so they too see a lot of use.

great project with really good explanations!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the build!
So nice. How is it holding up?
Thank you! It’s great, my wife uses it every day for work and it still looks like new.

You could probably do it with a jigsaw and a router. The pallet wood might be a big ask though as there's really no telling what shape it would be in.

I enjoyed the build, but cant imagine how this is used. LOL>
Very carefully haha, and thanks!
👏
Thank you!
The penetrating oil mentioned, what’s the brand of that oil, etc?
Here's the link for the one I use: amzn.to/3FE1xWl
