These genuinely are a thing of beauty Karl. Think I saw a few cheeky pics on your Facebook page and was so impressed. The burnt effect and wax finish is the absolute bees knees mate😀😀. Hope you’ve got your feet up with a can / glass of something nice now🍻😀
Thank you Leo I'd love to say I invented these but unfortunately not 😂 I reckon there a pagan design originally. Cheers mate I did have a few cans and now I'm lying in bed with a sore head 😩
They look brilliant Karl rather "Gothic" the wee titan defo did do you proud. Sharp blades make such a difference no matter what the tool is. Did you buy the router base or just knock it up yourself? Stay safe mate you and the family all the best 👍
Cheers mate ye it dose make a massive difference doesn't it and luckily the titan has only just received a new blade as I hit a nail on the old one 😢 I reckon they may be a pagan design originally 🤔 I bought the perspex base from a UK company clear view as I remember it wasn't expensive under 20. Definitely recommend getting one if you plan on doing so routing designs.
Hello Karl, Good design. A great chair. I have been thinking of making a chair for a long time. You remind me of this idea :-) You did a really good job. congratulations. See you. Great greetings. (Don't forget to put a tight belt on your pants.) :-)
Karl my man what an awesome build! Let's be honestly this could have been a boring as build with two bits of plank stuck together but instead you've custom made 2 pieces that are just epic. the combination of design, fire, fine details and finish is putting this up there with my favourite of your projects. Top stuff! How's the British mail going? Has my sticker arrived yet?
Hi Karl came to your channel via Mark Dainer. As a fellow Yorkshire man I am very impressed with the freehand routing and would appreciate a video on your method and any tips and techniques.
Great job Karl 😁. I love the look of these and very nicely made 👍. I see what you ment about the jigsaw blades 🔥🔥🔥🔥 😂🤣. Looks like we all just cant help the metric / imperial mashup of measurements 😁, the world would be so boring if we standardize 😂🤣. Nice job Karl, see you on the next one 😁👍
Thanks Frank I don't even realise I'm doing the switch from metric to imperial my brain just grabs whatever is easiest 😂😂 the chairs are so comfy especially for your back. Cheers Frank 🍻
@@JustMightDIY err sort of, in martial arts we say practice makes permanent so if you practice something incorrectly 100s of times you will never improve, so it's vital to practice correctly and check your form and technique regularly so that the muscle memory is right. If that makes sense.
Get your hair cut! Flippin' scruff. lol Looking good Mr. P. I've made a couple of phone stands using that design, but never had any cause to scale it up to that size. Looks great. Nice job buddy.
Fair play mate they turned out great 👍 nice job on the routing aswell buddy....... never underestimate the power of belly power lol keep safe karl all the best
Hi Ashley ye that's correct, I'm using all the bits I have left from previous projects at the moment as my usual timber yard is closed, Well actually it's just reopened yesterday so I'll be back in there soon. 😊
Well Chris I'd love to say I invented them but that would be a complete lie and utter lie, 😂🤥 I reckon it was a pagan design originally 😊 they are ace for your back unbelievably comfortable.
Pleasurable build video mate, it always amazes me how with effort you can make pine look historically aged. Keep up the nice projects & I recommend Diablo blades for the jigsaw, they’ll change your life mate 🍻👍👍👍
Haha cheers Ross, I'm a mixed up soul born in the 70s and I learnt both at school and my brain just picks out whatever is simplest 😂 oh I get my plywood from a guy on Facebook market place, its so cheap compared to anywhere else, obviously it's only cheap south American ply but scrubs up fine. I also get my timber from local yards no big diy store necessary. Where are you living mate?
karlpopewoodcraft I’m in Kent so your local timber yards are probably not considered an essential journey....unless i was planning on a walk around the area.... 😂
Nice one Karl, you are giving me loads of design inspirations with you recent video's, I must try the burning and I feel a purchase of Briwax coming any time soon.
Cheers mate, I definitely recommend buying a 5lt if you can afford it, it's so much better value then the little tins. The burning is great as well for ageing and rustic.
I love these chairs. The ability to store them flat or store them in the boot of your vehicle for a day trip makes them a perfect gift. I made 4 of these with some Celtic knots on the backrest. Yours looks pretty and sturdy!!
Absolutely love these.
Cheers mate, not to difficult to do either 😊
Looks beautiful at the end karl
Thanks Bobby I appreciate that. 😊
Thats beautiful!
Thank you 😊
I love it, “Then,using the power of the belly…”. It’s amazing how useful they can be…nice project. I plan on making a few.
Nice work Karl!
Thanks mate.
nice work karl
Cheers Graham 🍻
Yep I need one of theses.
Do it, unbelievably comfortable.

Just two words mate, "Bloody Brilliant". Regards, Fred
Thank you so much Fred, I really appreciate that. ☺️🙏
Great build Karl, loving the look of the burnt wood on the top curve, looks like you skinned a zebra! The carving looks superb also👍👍👍
Thank James it was a fun one 😊
Great finish yet again 👍 really liked how the highland cow came out, great build.
Cheers Daniel I was concerned for a while but then it all just came together well thankfully. 😊
Man that's sturdy! I considered this sort of design for a tablet stand for the kids recently but went with something I could do more simply.
Oh great idea Chris, I may well use that in a future build. 💡😉 Cheers mate

Turned out really good, where did you buy your stencils from?
Cheers mate, I bought my stencils from The Works books and crafts shop.
where are the materials and cut list
In my notepad

Hi James thank you mate, that's really appreciated 😊. Just this morning mate thank you, Yours is on route but I've only just posted.
I have done some planks from an oak tree we felled recently. I am going to make one of these chairs.
A lovely star gazers chair. Though no historical link to viking society is available, though there are possible links to African designs.

Nice build Karl. Something I've wanted to build myself so may have to have ago at one 👍
Cheers mate, ye it's a fun project because you can alter the design in a limitless amount of ways.
Wow! Your freehand work on the router is #goals. Really creative build!
Thank you for that, I'm doing lots of free hand work lately so it's improving fast. 😊
@@karlpopewoodcraft We haven't tried yet but really should. Practice makes perfect, right??

Nice very nice. Another great build mr pope
Thanks Grumpy, appreciated as always 😊👍🙏
Looks Great Karl. A lot prettier then mine😃
My friend designed it for his mum Shaun so unfortunately I can't take the credit😊 cheers mate, yours gave me the thought of making one. 😁
Quality video 👍 you're killing it lately!
Cheers Keith 😊
Get your hair cut! Flippin' scruff. lol
Looking good Mr. P. I've made a couple of phone stands using that design, but never had any cause to scale it up to that size. Looks great. Nice job buddy.
Haha cheers Pete, someone else mentioned that use of the design as well, I think I'll be stealing that idea. 😁💡
Fair play mate they turned out great 👍 nice job on the routing aswell buddy....... never underestimate the power of belly power lol keep safe karl all the best
Cheers mate, ye I knew the Covid belly would come in handy sooner or later 😉
Nice job routering 👍
Thanks Grant ☺️
Great video man.
Cheers mate 🍻
That looks great!
Cheers Andy 😊
Very good. What was the wood you used? Looks like pine.
Hi Ashley ye that's correct, I'm using all the bits I have left from previous projects at the moment as my usual timber yard is closed, Well actually it's just reopened yesterday so I'll be back in there soon. 😊
That's a really nice chair great job
Thank you 😊
These turned out really nice mate!
Cheers Damian 😊
It turned out really nice.
Cheers Jordan 🍻😊
karlpopewoodcraft BTW your shop is looking good my friend. The white walls are perfect
Can’t say I’ve ever heard of one of these chairs before but mate that looks incredible!
Well Chris I'd love to say I invented them but that would be a complete lie and utter lie, 😂🤥 I reckon it was a pagan design originally 😊 they are ace for your back unbelievably comfortable.
karlpopewoodcraft haha I could tell they looked comfy when you tried it out....thought you had nodded off in the video 😂😂
Looks great! I like the finish and the designs👍 the power of the belly 😆
I told our lass it comes in handy sometimes 😂 Cheers Phill
Turned out Great. Keep it up
Cheers mate.
That looks really nice and the carving turned out great Karl
Thanks Sparky I really appreciate that I was concerned about the cow for a while but all turned out well in the end 🐮😊
And that's no bull 👍 😁
@@Everythings_Adjustable that's bad really bad 🐮😂😂
I know 😁
The test for comfyness 🤣🤣.. did you want a cup of tea bringing ? Another great vid karl 👍
Cheers Bobby, ye a brew would of been perfect but unfortunately I don't exist in my house 😂🏡😭
@@karlpopewoodcraft same here 🤔
What type of wood is it?
Just red wood pine mate.
Love it!
Thank you 😊
Great work! Really nice finish to it. What did you make your homemade buffet out of?

Hi Nick it's a piece of timber cut out on the bandsaw with lots of rag wrapped around it and taped knot on the top😊
Pleasurable build video mate, it always amazes me how with effort you can make pine look historically aged.
Keep up the nice projects & I recommend Diablo blades for the jigsaw, they’ll change your life mate 🍻👍👍👍
Thanks for the tip Sumo I'll definitely give them a go I've heard great things about their kit. Cheers mate as always 😊
Love the “Dad Engineering” mix of inches and mm! One question, where do you get your ply and timber from? Cheers dude!
Haha cheers Ross, I'm a mixed up soul born in the 70s and I learnt both at school and my brain just picks out whatever is simplest 😂 oh I get my plywood from a guy on Facebook market place, its so cheap compared to anywhere else, obviously it's only cheap south American ply but scrubs up fine. I also get my timber from local yards no big diy store necessary. Where are you living mate?
Dad Engineering. :):):) I quickly switch to metric if there's any fear I might have to start thinking in fractions with imperial!
@@chrisfranklynmakes haha exactly the same 😂 whatever is easiest 😉 I often get asked why I use imperial but I don't really know 😂
karlpopewoodcraft I’m in Kent so your local timber yards are probably not considered an essential journey....unless i was planning on a walk around the area.... 😂
@@rossboushear that's a shame mate, probably far more expensive down your way. I've lived in Dorset for a few years and went on holiday in Kent 😉😊
Awesome video Karl! Really like the look of the chair with all the routed details. I want to make one now!! 😂🤦♀️ thanks for that! Haha
Thanks Kirstie, get it done.
Great work! That came out awesome 👍👏👏
Thank you very much 😊
These look great Karl and comfortable. Your hand routing looks a treat, well done.
Take care David 👍
Thanks David ye there are super great for my back really good. Thanks for the compliment 😊
Free-hand routing like a BOSS! Great work, Karl! I bet she will be excited to receive this!
Cheers mate, yes my friend said his mum loved her new chair 😊
Great work Karl 👍 looks like a great fun project that's loads of people could try with minimal tools. Keep up the good work.
Cheers mate, ye You could easily build it with just a Jigsaw and drill. 😊
Nice build mate, really enjoying the channel, keep up the good work 👍
Thank you thats lovely to hear ☺️🙏
Nice tools you have there 💪 great work. subbed!
Thank you. ☺️

They’re lovely, the burnt effect really works, they’d make great fold away visitor chairs too.
Thanks Dawn, ye I agree perfect for guests.
