    I love Cam's explanation about chairs in Japan 🤣 Besides - who needs a chair when you can just use the stump from the tree you cut down for the rest of the project!

    Every time I sit down and watch a woodworker with huge workshop, they always say they are not good at it. Can you stop lying and pat yourselves on the back? Because you're doing a great job

      It's one of those things that have changed with the advent of the internet; Some one somewhere will have a video doing so much better with less...being humble is a way to protect yourself from the mental shock of inferiority that will discourage many; from amateur to experts alike. It's ok to have pride in what you do; just don't pride yourself in having the acknowledgement of others.

    We usually learn more from our failures than from our successes. Or yours. Thanks for normalizing trying new things that don't always work out as planned. It's a great lesson for makers and for life. And sitdown.

    If you attempt this chair again, consider making individual kamiko panels and space 3-5 of them around the back curve. Then if you really want to mirror the curvature, each sub panel could be sanded to fit.
    Another great video sir. Thanks for sharing this insightful video and your comments regarding the process. Wishing you and your lady a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather. Peace brother

Excellent project using varying methods, always envious on big space work shops, but hey gotta start somewhere.

Sorry the Kami didn’t work out, but at least I did something u liked and was relaxing. I may try to make a Spawn style instead of the pattern. I’ll have to figure that one out. Thanks again J!

    It's always great to sit down in front of my computer and find another great woodworking youtube channel. I really hope you can bring yourself to tackle another chair project in the future. Sure, they might not pay as much per working hour, but the techniques involved are really fascinating. Definitely consider some of the more historical designs, and the ones from antiquity, there are some really interesting designs out there!

    This is awesome. Always good that you show your mishaps. It's making me feel better when I look at my mistakes. Just last week, when I was routing a curved edge to a small tabletop and forgot to set the height of the flush cut bit right, so I was routing into the actual tabletop, since the ball bearing didn't ride on the edge of my template. Well, now the table is about one eight of an inch smaller than intended. I guess my wife wouldn't have noticed, if I didn't tell her.
    Maybe it would have been a possibility to use bendable plywood for the Kumiko and just cut it on the CNC or with a laser. Maybe worth a try for the next chair. :D

  • @paulbanks8583
    @paulbanks8583 26 днів тому

    With the kerf cuts try a much thinner blade and closer together. That should reduce the stress on it.
    You could also do a woven pattern between the dowels. Fun to watch and good to see you show the mistakes.
