How about plans for the other chairs you show...not the ones being built here? It's not up to me...the wife likes them both, but likes the other ones better.
Always impressed by these crazy angled builds. The one time I tried, I ended up with a bunch of weird offcuts and a pile of sawdust where a stack of wood used to be
From the Amana tablesaw blade to the in-feed table to the design of the chair. It’s really nice to see Izzy’s influence in your shop.. that being said your execution of this was really spot on. Turned out great Jon
Nice job. I also completely agree that the most important tool in a workshop is a large level work surface (something I am lacking in my basement shop, but I'm working on one now). Thanks for sharing.
A suggestion - for your match fit sled, create a matching height slab that fits in the miter slot on the opposite side of the blade (like an Incra 5000 sled). That will support your piece that overhangs the match fit sled without having to trim pieces down before you use your sled. Also - I still have flamingos in my front yard. During Mardis Gras, someone actually came and put a pink necklace with a flamingo on it around the neck of my biggest flamingo. I still don’t know who it was, but I love their sense of humor and style.
Thank you for showing all of the small, annoying steps that go into a complex built like this. Even something as simple as cutting, prepping and installing those pieces for the faux dados to hold your slats. So much time! Absolutely beautiful end product. I saved up and bought a domino three years ago. One of my favorite tools! Use it on every project now. Worth every penny.
Lovely video and enjoyed following along your build. I got a bit curious abot the AI design phase and would have loved to hear more about your approach, what phrases you uset etc. The final result looks a lot like a slightly simplifyed Selig chair
The hype for a new miter station is real. I love the open cabinets on top of the Jay Bates design. The John Meleki design is definitely my favorite looking. I find the most challenging part wether you seal off or try to use the space behind the fence. I’ve seen a nice cup/tray design inset behind fence and then the cabinet starts about four inches back. Like a gutter before the cabinet. Also seen panels you can lift up to access inside the cabinets. Having front-to-back counter too is nice even with a fence if you raise the cabinets up. Then wether you make separate lower cabinets and connect them simply or you want more elaborate saw box with dust collection structure. So many options.
26:25 After I nearly dropped a cast iron vise on my foot, my dad (who witnessed the incident) said, "Maybe you need proper work boots." and I replied, "You don't need work boots when you have flip-flops and luck."
Wait a minute... did you make a build video???!! I thought that was not allowed on Lincoln Street... now I'm really curious how this video does and if it worked for you. Nice work man!
I’ve owned that dewalt drill bit holder (24:00) for 10 years and always thought mine was broke. I have never thought to slide the sleeve out that far to help center the screw…makes total sense now if that was the design purpose of it.
I too have used AI to help with furniture ideas, I've noticed that it loves impossible shapes, so if you try to follow it too closely you could end up trying to make something out of an Escher print.
That's a cool design! I asked Dall-E to come up with a side table and it gave me several images of a leviathan horror crossed with an IKEA foot stool. Also, would love to see another podcast episode, I found it really interesting as a sort of 'behind the scenes'.
The water stones, that side look, and your daughter staring certain injury in the face had me practically crying. 😂 Who doesn’t love a finely honed chair arm, nice job AI. 🙄 Great video as usual!
As the creator of Mouse into a Meal I know it takes a village (aka wife, child, dog) to make a good video. Kudos to the crew. Thanks for the great content!
I think I'm more impressed with the time it took to film and edit your video than the project build itself. Any idea how much time you spent editing? The chairs look fabulous.
Can absolutely relate to angry cutting time. An inverted measurement, not securing a toggle properly causing movement. etc... It's the small human errors, but with patience and persistence the result is gratifying. At least that's the plan. Keep on keepin' on man! Your efforts inspire us old timers and young bucks, as well as a great many more of us out in the World Wood Web.
Just had one today. Spent days planning an out of town project, everything measured, go for assembly and you realize something just isn't quite right. For me, it was forgetting that a measurement from a flange wasn't the measurement for the piece. Minor and specific error, universally felt I think.
This was a great video. Lots of tips and insight. I use the planer on the floor. The floor is always there for me. One could say.. we have a close relationship. Let's not get weird about it. I'm just vertically impaired.
That was an awesome first epoxy table build 👏👏👏. But I have to admit I laughed my $$$off when your mom recognized the tables base, priceless. You’re a good son 👌
That totally didn't suck. Love the no nonsense, don't have to use the 5 cut method and measure to 0.001" on everything, overbuild beyond normal use build mentality so many UA-camrs get caught up in. The project turned out great. Thanks for the tip on the flush cut saw, picked one up for a project that I've got coming up.
You don't use the 5 cut method to measure "to 0.001" on everything". You use it to setup your tools to make sure they're cutting accurately. If your tools aren't cutting accurately, the errors will compound throughout the project, and if you're 1/16" off to start, by the time you get to assembly, you may be out 1/4" in some places.
@@NWGR I’m aware. I was making a point that too often people measure to a degree that is absurd for wood that moves more than that. By the way, I’ve made numerous custom pieces that heavily used my crosscut sled built with a square ;)
20:30 When faced with that sort of sanding, I rip a 1 inch wide strip x standard sheet length of sandpaper, hold by the ends, and then sand like you are buffing up your shoes. Far easier and blends everything nicely.
Can't get enough Hibbs hip thrust.😂 I don't regret my Domino purchase. It sucked paying all that cash, but a year later, I'm happy I bought it. The speed and efficiency has been a game changer.
For offcut wobbles during tapering - I like to throw down a matching thickness piece of mdf/ply as my sled. It’s actually so convenient I normally use it every time, it even has its own runner to essentially make it zero clearance
For the end grain that touches the ground, I have been using a 50/50 mix of water and TB3. Haven't seen any damage from insects/rot for the last 5-7 years.
Love it! Wish we were neighbors :) Question: If hypothetically these were to be shipped out to a customer, would you prefer to use threaded inserts instead of plain screws? (total noob here, just curious and learning)
I often think at the end of a project: "Well, it works, and it's not horrible." Luckily, most of my stuff ends up in the garage, the basement, or the backyard.
Dude... this is almost identical chair to what we had in Poland during PRL era. The design with sharp angles is not very common but still possible to acquire for a reasonable price. I'm quite surprise that AI came up with such design.
Came up well. When applying oil finishes, don't remove the dust from sanding as it acts as a wick allowing the oil to penetrate further into the timber.

What's up John! This is JB's friend Seabass. Congrats on the channel bud! I'm subscribed!
I loved the quote about making money buy making chairs, great example of this in movie form is a movie called A Simple Curve from 2005
All that build up for the neighbor to say 'doesn't totally suck' was fantastic. Great job as always.
might be german xD
I want more neighbor shots, he did not totally suck. Great video, really enjoyed it!
Hes incredible
I cackled at that part. What a great ending.
The Second Most Interesting Man in the World
He's great. That part had me laughing out loud
@@theatyhannington was my favorite too
When I grow up, I wanna be rich enough to have off-cuts that big.
Right!? All my off cuts are sawdust. Everything else gets put into picture frames, cutting boards, serving trays and coaster.
@@jon82987 haha! Make MDF?!
"must be nice to be able to afford a whole bottle of glue" 😂
When I grow up, I want to be able to buy all those machines he has..
One day I will be rich enough to put a down payment onto a loan for a 2x4. Life goals.
I love the ending!😄
Great video! Can we get a T-shirt with the quote "It doesn't totally suck"? Thats great!
It doesn't totally suck. Best compliment ever. 😂😂
Your neighbor was perfect 😅
Great build, love the transparency of your many mistakes. It makes us all feel better.
the "stop procrastinating" advice from the project manager was spot on. I can relate to that. Great build. Watching from Nairobi, Kenya
I love the project manager❣️ Keep up the great work.
That guy at the end. “It doesn’t totally suck”. I almost peed myself laughing!😂
Love your transparency and humorous honesty. Makes me feel less of a doofus! Very nice end product!

John for the real MVP!
Lol. "Doesn't totally suck" == Success! in my world. Great video. Glad build videos aren't dead. Someone said they are dead.
Neighbor John is the man. Nice work, Jon!
I appreciate the balance of instructions/lesson and antagonizing.
We need more Neighbor John. Lol. Lots of cameos and name dropping but saved the best for last! Great video.
He is the best
I definitely favor trigger clamps over f clamps
Love your sass and sarcasm.
Cool chair too ❤
Thanks!
Great video! Chairs are tricky and fun
That air compressor use to move glue into spaces is genius im definitely stealing that one.
Best review ever
Probably your best one yet - I sniggered, snorted and cackled my way through the whole thing. The neighbor was the icing on the cake
28:19 That could very well be the brand name I'd use for the furniture I'm building😄
Not only are your videos cool.... I totally enjoy the humor and inevitably laugh during every one of your videos. Great job as usual...

My next door neighbor was a retired custom chair builder. He worked from after WWII to the 90s. When he passed I got some of his bar clamps. RIP.
For sure best advice is to wait a day after milling to use your wood!!
Also the analogy with the fish is perfect 😂
Your project manager is like a pile of sawdust come to life ❤

Your neighbor John is awesome!
this is such an underrated video. Love it!
I also started out using folding tables. Still in the process of getting my shop setup. Finishing up my first workbench this weekend!
You’re a class act man! Loved every aspect of the story, project, and your video production. Kudos 3,000
Finally the upload and the outcome looks great!
Thanks!
See, this video... it doesn't totally suck. Well done!
Great build! I really enjoy your talent and your candor. Thanks!!
Glad you enjoy it!

as an aspiring knifemaker, I absolutely loved the sharpening of the armrest. thank you for another wonderful build video!

Very cool, great build love the design. I enjoy your approach to woodworking and your comments !! 😂Keep the videos coming. Have a great Sunday.
Thank you!
Great video and I really like the chair design
Great project! I really appreciate all of the tips. Your neighbor is awesome - bring him into more videos!
As usuall, an interest build that I may borrow this summer, to inaugurate my garage/woodshop! Thank you!
Also, omg, I freaking loved the sharpening-the-armrest sequence. Awesome.
Timeout floor planing. Earned my sub.
I learned so many little hacks from this one video. And ive seen hundreds. Love it! Yogamat! What!? Awesome!
Another great video Jon. 28 minutes flew by! Oh and DUDE! A fellow Panther fan!? Keep Pounding!
"I learned that from the man that talks to wood very quietly." I love it!
“You know, it doesn’t totally suck!” Hahahaha loved that
Great build.. love your sense of humor about your work.. Thanks!
I appreciate the build tips throughout this video. Very helpful for us other dummies.
I too have used AI to help with furniture ideas, I've noticed that it loves impossible shapes, so if you try to follow it too closely you could end up trying to make something out of an Escher print.
