Happy to see the younger generation taking interest in becoming true craftsman. Also, it is great that you and father allow your craftsman the time required to do such an amazing work. You can't rush perfection. Those chairs look amazing.
Thank you so much! We're definitely very proud of our guy's work, we wouldn't want them to rush something like this that needs so much care, and luckily since this was our third time working with this client, we had good communication and they were fine with us taking our time with these to ensure they got perfection, thanks again!
Indeed. I’ve never watched this channel, the title made it sound like they’re teaching you how to build a chair. I think their real skill lies in CAD and router programs.
I just came across your channel 2 days ago and have been binging on your videos. I am 65 and if I was a young person living in your area I would be begging for a job. Your guys work is incredible.
Hi, I just subscribed to your channel as your video is exactly what I am looking for in terms of building chairs. I absolutely love your video 🤩👍 First of all I'd like to say that I absolutely love working with walnut as I have previously used it in nearly everything I make along with maple and one or two other wood types because I have access to an abundance of the stuff as I live and work in the south of Poland where walnut trees grow everywhere and although we have a lot of other wood types too, walnut is just so beautiful, it's probably my number one favourite wood because of it's beauty. Anyway the one thing I don't like about walnut is that it can be quite brittle and soft in places and often when cutting it you can come across cracks and holes especially around knots in the wood and I wondered how do you deal with walnut where these cracks and holes appear ?? I would just like to point out at this point that making chairs is a totally new venture for me because previously I started out making cutting boards and then I advanced onto making tables too, which I love, but now I have the bug and want to make one off bespoke chairs and I am in the middle of building a new and large workshop which is a barn convertion, however making chairs out of walnut where the legs take a lot of pressure makes me wonder how you deal with the afforementioned cracks and holes ?? I see in your video you have a stack of chair legs all in a row but one of them appears to have such a crack right at the end of one of the legs (2:10 to 2:12 and fourth from the right hand side) you can clearly see such a deformity in that piece of walnut, so my question is how do you deal with such deformities ?? Kind regards and thanks in advance from a Brit living in southern Poland Glen F 👍
Great video!!! Enjoyed watching the entire build - the door, table, and chairs. It's always a pleasure to watch craftsmen make difficult jobs look simple. Appreciate you and the team sharing your talent. Garrett, wish you would make a follow up video on the names you gave each chair, and why that particular name. Good job. Keep up the outstanding work!!!
Just seeing the thumbnail I thought those looked like Sam Maloof chairs. The inspiration for them is noticeable. Ya'll did a great job with the build of them, the table and door for that matter too.
I know that for a full function with auto tool changer a 5x10 5 axis CNC is going to cost at least US$160K but if you are doing this work over years and labor costs will continue to increase along with craftsmen to do the work will become scarce maybe with this level of custon joinery it may be time to make this huge capital commitment which would allow you to expand the services offered to your clients i.e. carved interior door sets exact replacement or additional chairs at a later date just by saving the CNC files for each order and in 5 years your company will be in an enviable position and you will look like a genius. The chairs are bespoke! Ray Stormont
OMG - the chairs a beautiful. I would almost think that the dowel pegs would have look great with a different species of wood - maybe the burl wood (just my thought). Another piece of artwork for a lucky customer from BFWC. Stay safe.
You and your team are so talented. I was just wondering if you or your team ever built a personal piece for themselves and if so I think it would be cool to do a video on their personal projects that they have built.
I'm not a snob, I don't care how something is done, purely by hand, purely by CNC, a mixture of both ... what matters is the end result ... the chairs are stunning, simple as that 👍 There were a few moments during the round over process using the router where the piece was lifted up off the surface only to then come back down again, a bit of a shaking my head moment ... but no one is perfect and they seemed to turn out pretty good 😀
Great video. How many different styles of chairs does Black Forest make? You do make and deliver more tables in the USA or Canada? Due you steam the wood and put them in molds or do you just let the router do it? Again, thanks so much for posting this video.
We're open to trying to make pretty much anything our clients request, I think we've made 4 or 5 different styles now. I think it's about equal between the 2 countries, but for awhile we were getting way more US orders than Canadian ones. We did not steam the wood for this, we just left the work to the routers and other than tools. Thanks for watching!
Finally! Someone using a narrow roller to coat edges in a glue-up. Why people use glue bottles and sticks or their fingers to spread glue (unevenly!) just puzzles me.
They could have been great! But they are pretty ho-hum next to the original Maloof lounge chairs. That's business these days though I guess . The arm rests and the rosettes at the top of the rear legs on the OG's mad them special. Charles Brock sells a great video tutorial and plan set.
Very nice chairs. But I'm a little confused, routers and router tables are considered hand tools that require manual labor? So if the operator has to do anything other than run a cnc program it's extra work?
It would be so interesting to see a package of chairs like this, say a set of 6 for a typical dining room get made up in 2 contrasting ways - 1/2 with screws for reinforcement, 1/2 without. Then, track the wear n' tear over the years. Not a strictly scientific experiment, but it would be fascinating to see the same chairs/ same wood/ same glue/ same craftsmen/shop - and track if the added strength of screws made any real world difference
Your designs looks really wonderful... I can see that your processes are very meticulous and you try to make the whole process have a good finish. Congratulations for your job and don't forget follow us too...👍🧡
When you have the glue overflow.. (even after it's cleaned off) how do you prevent that glue from that was on the wood from preventing the finish from setting in ?
But your seat does not follow Maloof's method of five separate boards joined so that the thickness is preserved through the scooped out seat section.....
Looks good... but you can REALLY tell a lot of the team doesn't have a lot of experience on the table saw r routing and shaping without the use of CNC lol. Ya boys had me worried a few times...
@@daveklein2826 Ahhh... you have it all worked out. I guess it's too hard to wrap your head around someone with experience working in high end custom cabinet shops who builds furniture and other custom wood projects might happen to watch other wood channels in their spare time. Lighten up, Francis... you must be an only child you never got a friendly ribbing.
This “walnut” chair looks so like Moeller Fabrik-Aarhus, DK. Of course his design is classic and made by hand-no CNCs in the fifties and sixties. Do you have rights from the designer/factory?
Blows my mind the amount of people with crazy amounts of money. My entire net worth isn't even half of their house I bet. Maybe in my next life or the one after that 😅. I wish
Haha, you have to work really fast during glue ups and it was one of Garett's first door glue ups so he was moving a little too slow, so it looked rude but Lezchk was just trying to make sure the glue up went smoothly
Fantastic... Amazing chairs... a work of art. However (4:10 , 4:17 , 6:22 etc.) those are NOT professional workers, nor hobbyist or amateur DIY... Too much hesitations, uncertain movements and clumsiness!!!
This is a spit on All the hardwork,and hours spent on shaping with drawknives and rasps he did, sorry but using a router and cnc to maybe sand and chisel for an hour isn't the same.
![한트베르커 -로우 백 체어 제작과정 [Making walnut low back chair]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/R21F8-jP1Ho/mqdefault.jpg)
I do the metal screw, with timber dowel cap anywhere i can. It is a far superior joint to glue and dowel.
Happy to see the younger generation taking interest in becoming true craftsman.
Also, it is great that you and father allow your craftsman the time required to do such an amazing work.
You can't rush perfection.

Dude, a computer controlled router did most the work.
@@GB-mu9ue True.
Wow .. stunning, and even with the CNC, still a TON of work, well done !!
Yes it was! Thanks so much!
It's awesome to see you guys using hand tools in your amazing woodwork
You made Sam Maloof proud!!! I have never tried to make a chair. Your work and skilled workers did a fantastic job!!
Thank you so much Doug!
I'll need to watch the table and door builds, but what a video to kick off 2024! Nicely done @black forest wood co.
Thank you so much Eugene! I hope you enjoy the door and table videos as well!
So good to see craftsmanship is still a thing in this day and age.
Not sure you can use the term craftsman. They are more operators and polishers than craftsman

Those chairs are amazing and are each a work of art. That is an amazing dining set. Thank you for sharing! Take care👍🏻
Thank you so much for commenting, complimenting our work, and watching!
Again, outstanding craftsmanship!
Thank you!
I really like the look of the low back chairs. It looks very "clean" when they are all pushed in.
I agree! Thanks so much!

Thanks Robert!
gorgeous chairs for that sweet table
Thank you! 😊
Looks awesome but would definitely appreciated seeing the leather pad construction too. Love the chairs table for sure.
We'll try and get Timeless to let us film in the future!
Another job well done, you guys never cease to amaze me.
Thank you Fred!
I remember the door & the beautiful table. The chairs match in perfectly.
Thank you so much Patrick!
Those are amazing!!! That has to be $15k worth of chairs with the amount of work in them.
A true work of art !!!
Matching barstools to replace the ones next to the kitchen would be sweet. Get that repeat business!!
Beautifully done people, that table in particular looks stunning
Thank you so much! Yes, that really is a beautiful table!
Another fantastic project well done.
Thanks John!
Stunning craftsmanship on the chairs. Garrett!!!!! ❤
Thank you Maddie! 😄
Those are really nice chairs
Nice work, they look great
Thank you so much!
Very cool guys ,fantastic work
Thanks so much!
Fantastic job true craftsman
Thank you James!

I think that would look pretty cool! Thanks so much!
The sanding made all the difference on those chairs
It definitely did!
chairs look incredible - would love to know how the upholstery is joined to the chair itself!
You and your team are so talented. I was just wondering if you or your team ever built a personal piece for themselves and if so I think it would be cool to do a video on their personal projects that they have built.
Dylan just finished building a table for his place! I'm not sure how much he filmed of it but if there's enough content we could do a video on it!
Love the work that comes from this shop! ❤
PS @2:15, a router is not a hand tool. 😂 anything that is a power tool is not a hand tool.
Cheers!

Thank you Josie! 😄
Spectacularly beautiful work, as you already know. Any idea how many man hours you had in each one?
As always... outstanding work. Happy New Year guys
Happy New Year Alfred! Thanks so much
Excellent job
Thank you!!
Sam would be proud for sure. Great stuff!!!!
Thanks so much!
Good outstanding craftsmanship!
Thank you!
Love Love all y'all's beautiful pieces 🎉
Thank you so much 😀
They’re beautiful chairs
Thanks so much!
Beautiful match to the table!. Have you done the bar chairs as well?
No we didn't, we just matched the apolestry to them so everything would go together well!
Looks great as always!
Thank you Jake!

Here for Garret’s redemption 😂😂
Hahaha 😆
So beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😁
Now I know how much … I don’t know. Great job guys
Beauty-full
Naming each chair is wild 🤣
I wish I could afford dinning room tables for my house. I am a disabled Vet do you offer any discounts? I really love you work and videos.
They could have been great! But they are pretty ho-hum next to the original Maloof lounge chairs. That's business these days though I guess . The arm rests and the rosettes at the top of the rear legs on the OG's mad them special. Charles Brock sells a great video tutorial and plan set.
beautiful!
Thank you!!
Are you offering plans?
at 13:05 why is one of the screw hole covers (or dowels) a completely different color than the rest? is that a camera effect or a mistake?
How do u attached leather seat on chair

Besides heavy sanding
Maloof is THE GOAT 🐐
Agreed!
Working hours/ chair ?
Price/ chair ?
Material price ?
thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
what are the dimensions of the chair?
Доброго дня дайте будь ласка розміри кожної деталі. Я хочу зробити такий стілець своїми руками. З повагою Роман.
Добротно 🐻
Sam Maloof said he wanted his chairs to be touched/felt. You can't help caressing it. Not only visual.
Well, I think we accomplished that! 😁
I think it would have looked really nice if the chair back rests were also partially resin bringing the same base color in to match the table.
That would be cool! But this client was after a solid-wood look, but that's something we would love to do in the future!
But your seat does not follow Maloof's method of five separate boards joined so that the thickness is preserved through the scooped out seat section.....
They're just inspired look-wise, they're not made by his exact technique 😊
Art🎉
You don't need a 5-axis machine for these leg. You just need 2 setups of each leg. 3-Axis is perfectly ok in this case.
Having spent a day with Sam in his shop I can assure you that there was no CNC machinery there.
Haha didn't think so! And that's so cool you got to spend a day with him!
Looks good... but you can REALLY tell a lot of the team doesn't have a lot of experience on the table saw r routing and shaping without the use of CNC lol. Ya boys had me worried a few times...

Im really not a safety freak but the way you guys use a table saw sometimes is really quite reckless! Anyway, nice vid, keep up the great work.

That leather color is boring, specially for that dining room. Cool chairs though
You sound regretful there isn’t a machine for literally every step of the process. This is telling us naff all about how to build these chairs.
This is a spit on All the hardwork,and hours spent on shaping with drawknives and rasps he did, sorry but using a router and cnc to maybe sand and chisel for an hour isn't the same.
But I do love the videos! Just isn't the same but I'm traditional at heart.
