Guitar offcut project : building a chair

  • I had a few commenters on my videos worried about the "HUGE AMOUNT OF WASTE WOOD" I produced with my guitar builds, and in my last video I explained that I started woodworking by working exclusively with scrap wood.
    I still have the same philosophy today: I very rarely buy wood to make one specific project, every once in a while I go to the lumber yard and buy one rough sawn board, because I ran out of boards big enough for my projects or because I decided to learn to work with a new species, then I turn every single, tiniest, part of that board into something.
    If you're new to woodworking, here's my advice: it's a very fun way to learn! When you work with the original board, then the offcuts of your initial project, then the offcuts of those offcuts etc. , the projects get smaller and smaller, and you'll automatically learn new aspect of the craft and explore the whole range of the wood you picked, from a kitchen table, to a toothpick holder.
    Anyway, a movie is better than a thousand confused words, I'll let you see what I did with One Piece Guitar Offcuts ...
    From furniture to guitar. From guitar to furniture. The circle is complete. That's a haiku (no it's not).

    I love these little glimpses of family, even just the happy sounds of kids playing in the background. It's a little burst of joy that feels right at place in your videos.

    Mate, I'm going to admit, your videos, actually inspired me to start building guitars. I have this workshop, and I was doing very little with it. It's the lack of commentary, that struck me. Cheers.

    That was really cool, I always wanted to see you build a piece of furniture and it was fun to watch. The new owner of the chair also seemed to be quite pleased with the results. I have to agree with Alexander Else, seeing your children interact with you in your shop adds a touch of humanity, family and joy! I think I may have a bass inside me that wants to come out, it's just a matter now of figuring out how to get some free space out in the shop. It's set up for mechanical work, not wood working. Time will tell. Take care my friend and please keep amazing me.
