  • This build was by far my MOST IMPORTANT Build to date. With the baby due any day now, my wife requested a rocking chair. Instead of dropping 3k on one, i decided to try building it for myself.

    That chair does rock! Perfectly placed by the mamaroo. Rocking chair for momma and the rocking chair for little one. Soon!

    So... Pantarouter $2000, upholstery tools $250, Turkey Slicer $30, probably $500 in materials = $2780 for a Rocking chair. Not to mention the tools you already owned. I'm glad I'm not the only one, I'm still working on my $8000 Coffee table.

    John, let me share a little wisdom, for the baby, its all about mama for the first 5 or 6 months. Dont feel left out. Congratulations. BTW, I am an upholsterer, you did great for first time.

    @davegorski5204 3 роки тому +2

    I built SAME CHAIR for my wife when we had our first child - 3 kiddos later, the rocker still stands proud in our home.... You are right. The chair will be an heirloom piece, where as the crib, which at its EOL looked like we had raised beavers, and small dressers we have long since out grown, all met their fate at the curbside pickup. NICE WORK! - I wish I had documented the build in such an epic way... but thanks for taking me down memory lane on the build process.

    The 'PantoRouter' was created by 'Matthias Wandel' a Canadian wood worker UA-camr, I've been watching this made man for a decade. Glad to see you using one of his inventions.
    You did a fantastic job on the 'Baby Rocker'

    About 25 years ago I decided I wanted to build a Maloof style rocking chair so I drove from Richmond VA to Atlanta GA to his seminar at Highland Hardware. My son went with me and he was about 14. Wonderful experience and even bought Sam lunch. That's as far as I have gotten. Yours looks great. Congrats on actually doing it.

    A couple of points John.
    1. The finished item is stunning, as is usually the case
    2. The dynamic between yourself and the guys who work with (for) you always impresses me. It's part of what makes your videos watchable and so enjoyable.
    Thank you for sharing as always.

    That is possibly one of your best builds! Yes, I know it doesn't have any bullets but, from the very beginning, you guy's were so out of your depth you were actually considering Domingo's!!!!! You started something that you didn't think you had the skills to complete it, but you did a really, REALLY amazing job and it will probably stay in your family for generations. Well done and as UA-cam only lets you put 1 thumb up I'm going to put the rest down here for 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    The best piece of furniture we bought when we had our first kid was a glider/rocker chair. For the first 7mo of my oldest kid's life my poor wife basically slept in that chair with our son #parenthood.
    Enjoy the kiddo John, they ruin your lives in the most perfect of ways...plus it's a small price to pay to have spare organs and/or a blood bag around. My oldest's nickname is "Spare Kidney" because he's my blood type, and my youngest is "Blood Bag" because he's a universal donor. Just wait till you get that proud dad moment when they perfectly mimic you. Being military kids mine have some pretty funny mannerisms they've picked up from me.

  • @anthonymartinez5144
    @anthonymartinez5144 3 роки тому +3

    Looks good and definitely something to be passed down for generations. A few months back I made a rocking chair for my newborn niece. It's a mini rocking chair, made for a 1-1/2 to 2 year old, I made it out of figured walnut and not to toot my own horn, but it turned out beautifully. She won't be able to use it for a while and will quickly out grow it but it is something that will last forever and hopefully be passed down for generations. Definitely my favorite project and most meaningful.

  • @irishcoffee6894
    @irishcoffee6894 3 роки тому

    Hope the baby is there already.
    One thing you could add is a rest for the feet....
    Most women are a bit smaller and when rocking a baby or feeding a baby in a chair it can be very relaxing to have 1 or both feet on an extension.
    Also a front or back stop can be ideal.
    If someone is rocking too hard they sometimes flip on their back of front (out if the chair).
    Good luck guys.
    Great video's

    The chair looks great. Not a fan of the stain colour though. It makes the chair look like it's from the '80s. I probably would have used something with less grain, or darker than oak, too. Love all the mortise and tenon joinery!
