I Make some chairs! prototype is Sapele and Maple, my 6 are red Oak and Iroko. these are tests to see if i can make these as affordable production pieces.
My grandfather was a carpenter. I never met him, but it makes me very happy that some of his pieces are still in use in different countries. I really enjoy your channel, the quality and nature of the projects are great. Sadly in Finland where I live there's little market for this noble profession. Not to mention that everybody has IKEA at home. I tried to furnish my house with mid century pieces.
That sliding dovetail makes them so much more fancy, even if it's straight forward with the jigs. My wife's sold, I reckon I'll be trying something similar
Risom inspired? Love the minimalist beauty of mid-century modern. Has a warmth and character that a lot of more 'contemporary' pieces lack. This is beautiful work mate, thanks for bringing us along to see the process.
+GuysWoodshop thanks guy , it was a bit tricky putting the vid together actually, do I show jig making, do I show all 14 jigs, is it going to be too boring etc.
I love the design of the chairs. Mid Century Modern era of furniture is my favorite and that is what I build for my own house. I hadn't thought of using jigs like that for my domino but I will be doing that in the future. And being a Bernina tech on the side it made me smile to see your machine.
No furniture maker worth they're weight would ever use pocket hole screws. Thats what he is laughing about. Especially when you went through the trouble of making a slide down dovetail backrest, then you went and used pocket hole screws. One word of advice for you. If you plan on selling these chairs to the public I'm thinking either all joinery, or no joinery. Not half & half ok joey? Other then that i happen to like most of your stuff! ☺
Nice work Joey! The Domino is such a killer tool for chairs. I’ve built both a set of bar stools and a set of dining chairs and would have been lost without that tool. Some really clever jigs there as well! Wonder how fast you could batch out a set now that you have the jigs done and one set under your belt?
As always, Joey. Love your work and the finesse you utilize to get a top pro job done. I think the suggestion to put "breather/relief" holes in the plywood is a good ideal too. Love the simple but comfy look.
This was awesome that you went into so much detail about a build with all the jigs. Thanks for that. Also, on another note, I think it's cool that you and your wife have matching tattoos of the diamond for the ring finger and wings on your left arms. Never noticed that before. Keep up the great videos and thanks for keeping it simple for all of us.
Great video! I build MCM furniture and have had a hard time finding knowledge on how to make chairs like this. Liked that you took the time to show the different jigs and setups. Super usefull and much apreciated. If you at some time feel like expanding a bit on the topic I would love to learn a bit more about your design process; how do you get to that exact shape, what/who inspired you, what goals did you set etc? Keep up the good work!
Yeah that's the way Mr Sellers does his too. Oh, and re using leather & sewing, in his guide he just uses one sheet I think & stretches it around the seat: ua-cam.com/video/mYFygbgGv-M/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/bvMElkHLsDc/v-deo.html
As usual with your videos Joey, so much to like (and only one thumbs up per person per video). Enjoyed the ideas, the humour, the style, video production and workshop productivity and those "ugly" jigs - just awesome. Thanks and cheers, David
Nice video. The chairs look very nice. The covers for the seat you could have also sewed. Sewing is not difficult, I've sewn a leather cover for my seat.
I really enjoy your designs and the creativity you have. I also like your mellow, even-tempered nature. Nice presentation of very beautiful designs and craftsmanship as well. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
I really enjoy the way you present your builds. Not just a "here's what I have made" but a thoughtful insight to the process and how to improve the build along the way. Nice style too - sadly I'm a mid-century product as well. Cheers.
What a coincidence!, I am a junior carpenter (I hope soon like you), and my wife is costume designer. Simple and beatiful your new chairs, by my side, a have a dinning table 😀, but not my own chairs 😔. Greetings from Chile!! Enjoy our summer time.
Hi, I enjoyed the project and the process of making it. Learned a lot. Thank You. What is that sander whic appears in 7th minute. Greetings from Tenerife
Nice job. vent holes in the seat base will allow air to escape and prevent air pressure from possibly damaging sewn seams. Compressing the foam while tacking the cover helps get a nice snug fit. It'll mean another jig though !!!
How about a flat pack option? You could do all of the cutting, shaping and domino prep. The purchaser could do the glue-up, trim the top of the chair-back dovetail, stain and upholstery.
Thanks Joey but I think I found an alternate route. Felder has plans available for free download for a similar chair. I already have templates cut and blanks of monkeypod ready to go since I was planning on building one of these just as a skill building exercise. It's one of those projects I never got around to finishing. So, instead, I'm going to modify this plan to take advantage of the joinery methods you explained in this video which should make the process far less demanding. Just in case anyone else might want chair plans (it seems chair plans are as rare as unicorns) I hope you don't mind that I post the link here.

Chairs look great, mate. Where are you from? Landscape says Oz but it could be NZ as well. Plus your accent is a mix of Aussie, Kiwi and South African. Haha.
Absolutely brilliant! I love how understated the jig making process was presented - like it didn't take hours on end with a multitude of coffee and furrowed brows. Quick question - with the left and right female dovetail jig on the back rests at 11:11, how did you set the length stop? Was it just marked out and eyeballed for the pull saw cutoff later?

This is my favorite video of yours. I really enjoyed it. Thanks, Joey!

How wonderful that you both had a hand in making something that your family will use everyday. Great work!
+Brian Hackett cheers
Beautiful outcome, loving the family effort !
"Now I need a dining table. Hmmm" LOL! The chairs look great, can't wait to see the matching table :-) Tfs.
Awesome video Joey, really enjoyed the jig overview and insight. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome build and design. Love the choice of wood, looks sturdy and comfortable. 👍
Love your work and your videos. Pure meditation to watch, and truly inspiring.
Great build, well done 🏆👍🏼😊
Risom inspired? Love the minimalist beauty of mid-century modern. Has a warmth and character that a lot of more 'contemporary' pieces lack. This is beautiful work mate, thanks for bringing us along to see the process.
Yes, you need to make the table ... :) Congrats for these superb chairs !
Really nice looking chairs!
The chairs finished up really nicely. Sooooooo many jigs, even a little blue jig to drill a counter-sunk hole. Leaving nothing to chance hey? 😀
You make the project seem so simple. I appreciate the process detail segments. Thank you for an enjoyable and informative video!
Chairs look great Joey. I really enjoyed how you show how the use of jigs speed up the manufacturing process.
+GuysWoodshop thanks guy , it was a bit tricky putting the vid together actually, do I show jig making, do I show all 14 jigs, is it going to be too boring etc.
Great looking chairs. So many angles, so many jigs, I guess that's the nature of chairs.
I love the design of the chairs. Mid Century Modern era of furniture is my favorite and that is what I build for my own house. I hadn't thought of using jigs like that for my domino but I will be doing that in the future. And being a Bernina tech on the side it made me smile to see your machine.
This is a very beautiful project!
"Let's just call these countersunk holes, eh?" 😂😂😂😂😂 awesome build! I laughed hard at that!
+Nicholas Phelps at what ? What are you talking about😉
No furniture maker worth they're weight would ever use pocket hole screws. Thats what he is laughing about. Especially when you went through the trouble of making a slide down dovetail backrest, then you went and used pocket hole screws. One word of advice for you.

@@christinecahill2874 What an ignorant comment
Well done man . Beautiful family effort.
Those look great, Joey! Good for you!
that’s a gorgeous design, can’t wait to see the dining room table 😁
Nice work Joey! The Domino is such a killer tool for chairs. I’ve built both a set of bar stools and a set of dining chairs and would have been lost without that tool. Some really clever jigs there as well! Wonder how fast you could batch out a set now that you have the jigs done and one set under your belt?
+Crafted Workshop cheers Johnny, yes deffinitly the tool for the job. I'd say 2 days for a set of 6. That's the plan anyway.
I love your work man!
Good work! Handsome chairs.
Nice chairs! haha that rain filled my tank up :)
Good looking chairs. Perfect ending.
Nice design mate the chairs look very elegant
Beautiful craftsmanship as usual, and a multi talented family also!
Keep up the great work and videos
+James O'sullivan thanks
Great looking chair design. Good luck with them standing up to the kiddo, lol.
As a woodworker, I love these chairs. As a quilter, I covet the Bernina. Great work all around!
+Trishy B cheers
They look great, congrats.
The truth is that the work you do is excellent, I would like tomorrow to get to work, film and edit your way. Congratulations
+El Taller de Nino thank you
Great job Joey!
brilliant stuff as usual Joey
Very pleasing design. Look fantastic and comfortable. Great Channel Joey
+John horsfall thank you
As always, Joey. Love your work and the finesse you utilize to get a top pro job done. I think the suggestion to put "breather/relief" holes in the plywood is a good ideal too. Love the simple but comfy look.
+Clyde Decker thanks. Will see how they go if I need breather holes or not.
Great skills.Awesome jigs. Back to the shop then to make the table, eh...
This was awesome that you went into so much detail about a build with all the jigs. Thanks for that.

I always like your hand art made
Looks good, like the colour

lol, is it just me or is his rough mock up better then anything I have made before
Nice work Joey
Have you considered 'vent' holes in the plywood seat? - helps the vinyl and foam keep its shape after prolonged use.
Chris
Yeah that's the way Mr Sellers does his too. Oh, and re using leather & sewing, in his guide he just uses one sheet I think & stretches it around the seat:

Excellent! Thank you for yet another piece of inspiration. PS Your summers are just like ours here in the North West of Scotland....
+Alasdair MacKenzie ha that's what they say
Good looking chair. Drawings, jigs and a prototype, time and materials are wasted without them.
Great work mate! Greetings from Melbourne and from a cabinet maker with 25 years of experience!
AAAAAmazing beautiful chair, congratulations
+oscar silva thanks
Great job. 👍
Really nice job
Super video . . . your music makes AC/DC seem tame . . . jigs are fantastic, makes ten units as easy as one.
+Rod MacKinnon cheers ha sometimes. That's the plan....
Just this morning I thought when will next video appear... draw a smile on my face.
I really enjoy your videos.
+n. ibralic thanks
Nice video.
The chairs look very nice.
The covers for the seat you could have also sewed.
Sewing is not difficult, I've sewn a leather cover for my seat.
Awesome 👌🏻 thanks for share 😊

Nice lesson, great. Thank you .

These are great Joey. Any chance you can make plans available?
nice job man 😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome!
nice design and thoughtful process. thank you for sharing this
great video mate
Just watched Jordan Crawfords' Stance Table build. I think his table and your chairs match quite well.
+Peter Compton yea true
Muy bonito, me gustó!!
I really enjoy the way you present your builds. Not just a "here's what I have made" but a thoughtful insight to the process and how to improve the build along the way. Nice style too - sadly I'm a mid-century product as well. Cheers.
very nice and easy to make it..thanks for idea
Thanks you Joey, great job. Very educational video IMO.
+David Spinadel cheers
LOVED seeing the wife and kiddo!!!
What a coincidence!, I am a junior carpenter (I hope soon like you), and my wife is costume designer.
Simple and beatiful your new chairs, by my side, a have a dinning table 😀, but not my own chairs 😔.
Greetings from Chile!!
Enjoy our summer time.
I liked the chairs!
+BUK thanks
I was wondering when this would be popping up!
+JordsWoodShop / Periodic Furniture Studio yea finally got the upholstery done!
You are really KING.
That was fun!
Hi, I enjoyed the project and the process of making it. Learned a lot. Thank You. What is that sander whic appears in 7th minute. Greetings from Tenerife
great design, are there plans? thanks for the video.
Good job 👏
Nice job. vent holes in the seat base will allow air to escape and prevent air pressure from possibly damaging sewn seams. Compressing the foam while tacking the cover helps get a nice snug fit. It'll mean another jig though !!!
The jigs are great too.
Wow - those are amazing - to bad you are not closer to me, I would commission some pieces...
How about a flat pack option? You could do all of the cutting, shaping and domino prep. The purchaser could do the glue-up, trim the top of the chair-back dovetail, stain and upholstery.
+NimblyBimbly ha i have been thinking about that
KingPost TimberWorks what do you think you'd need to charge to make it worth your while?
hmm not really sure maybe $100 plus timber cost and shipping. id need to do a few like that to work out time.
Elegant chairs
I dig it.
I have a new KF700 so I was very interested in seeing your taper jig in action.
Oh cool. Yea it's super easy with a sliding table. And super repeatable.
Love your work! I need to make myself 12 chairs and this would be perfect. Any chance these plans will be made available?
+Artie Kendall hi umm not as such if you contact me through my email i could send some dimensions etc.
Thanks Joey but I think I found an alternate route. Felder has plans available for free download for a similar chair.

+Marc Spence it was a nice coincidence that my router base had to line up with the link in the leg. So I just eye balled that. Cheers
Great work!! Are you selling plans?
Very nice job!!! I'm interest ed în your router table jig, is something you've built or bought?
Me gusto mucho gracias
very nice
Sick hammer
Bang tetap semangat dalam usaha hobi kayu good 👍
Who makes the sliding jig on your router table? Looks very well made.
I would like to know as well.
