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.
@@Not_mera and it's only 3x as much because of the economics of mass production. But also can mean the custom made item is higher quality than mass produced.
@@roberthoffmann1848That is the IKEA effect, our perception that item produced by ourselves is somehow higher quality than mass produced items utilising wonders of industrial machinery with standards of quality control
@@roberthoffmann1848yeah, I got into sewing because I was sick of uncomfortable cheap plastic clothes that don't age well, seem to absorb nasty smells and never let go, and have to be replaced so frequently, can't be easily dyed, etc. Even with "luxury" brands, almost all mass produced clothes are cheap quality. I can buy quality materials and make something that will last 10 times longer. Yes, it will initially cost 2x more than some mass produced plastic equivalent, but I can wear it for years, alter it into different things, have spare matching fabric to patch and repair things, and easily dye over lighter garments that get stained.

yea, the only exception ive found is 3d printing, why buy a print unpainted for €700 plus whatever the delivery is, when I can buy the stl, material and a new printer for that same price
It is a pleasure to watch a chair build which, particularly for us older craftsman, is the ultimate in wood work skills. I certainly hope you obtain a large viewing for this project.
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.
"Sit down" I always watch the videos until the end and skipping the end doesn't show you all the mess ups, learning points that you go through while making what ever make. So thank you for your videos I appreciate it
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!
For the problem you’re having at 20:50, I have had success by transferring the shape to some pattern plywood. This can be easily cut and sanded to the line - a little angle or roundness of the edge doesn’t matter as it is so thin anyway. Then clamp that to your workpiece and use a flush trim bit on your router to transfer the edge from the pattern to the piece.
Brilliant and complex piece of work Jonny. I really appreciate you showing your mishaps. Your kumiko turned out amazing, sorry it didn’t work out. Chuck a cushion on that and I bet Katy will be glad to sit down - especially looking after the wee one 🤗
A chair is a piece of real design. There is so much character in it. I am sure you had a great time challenging yourself on that one. I really love what you did.
Great video! Chairs are definitely something only to tackle when you have a clear vision and passion to complete it no matter the cost. Sit down and enjoy your hard work.
Yes I built my ex wife shelves , a fireplace mantle, repaired her grandmother end tables, built a electric fireplace repaired old dining room chairs but she has everything I built for her but she said I was a cheap man cause I built them not buying something else I built everything with love and to make something to be proud of but this is life.
It's okay, baby. Your ex-wife is the true cheap bitch because you put your money elsewhere, and did more than she ever did in any relationship she was in, or will be.
Even if I'm not able to spend time in the shop right now due to moving and the ensuing chaos, it's nice to be able to sit down and watch woodworkers show new techniques and tricks to explore when I get the shop back together.
Sit down! That is such an incredibly beautiful chair. That style of chair is by far my favorite. I recently inherited a very, very old one that has been in my family for many years and I cannot wait to get it reupholstered.
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
Sit down. I love chairs! They are personal architecture. I have over 150 of them. I collect miniatures. Anything from charms to just to small for a toddler to sit on. So sit down just not on one of mine.
Ok I have something to say and you just might need to sit down and listen for a second, Do you realize that you walk 25 miles just for a 5 mile hike? Your answer to your seat issue that you wrestled with at around the 24 minute mark was just you simply change the order that you build the chair in and use the seat as the fixture that you bend the parts around. Or simply use the fixture you used for bending as a template for the seat. But I am sure that I am wrong considering I am not a wood worker nor builder of furniture so my opinion is about as helpful as a tornado during a barn raising.
I love to sit down to watch someone working who knows how to work. Ah, a fellow Okie. I recall what my mom told me about 60 years ago when I commented that someone was living in a really dilapidated house. She said, "There's one thing you need to know about Okies. Okies will live in just about anything...except town.
What I love about this chair is not only that it looks very good but all the details that went into it. One detail (don't think that was the purpose tho) being that when you sit down and have to let some air out there is a channel for it in the chair haha
The biggest issue with the comfort is getting the seat pan contoured. I saw one you tube build where they were able to set up a depth map and had their C&C go to town. The cameo's from the other youtube woodworkers was pretty cool. Thanks for the video.
Very cool place to sit down. Not sure I would have the patience to even try. So glad to see you understand the axiom, happy wife, happy life. Thank you for sharing.
This is really awesome, seeing work being done at the sme open source level is always great! One note you can always use a 1depth shallow gut clone, so much faster for things like builds and installs where you don't need a whole source tree
Sit down and I don’t worry about what you’re building, I care about how you build it. All techniques are awesome and watching you use them is what it’s all about for me.
One more thing to say. You did a great job on this. It inspired me bc I didn’t know about the wood bending technique. Thanks for showing the mishaps. 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!
I really love your videos. I have been an enthusiastic amateur woodworker for years now but have yet to try a chair.... you have inspired me to give it a go, though. Now, all I need to do is sit down and put a plan together.
So inspiring. After this I'll go back to my clothes hanging poles to be use in the garage for our raincoats after motorcycling. I stopped because I lost interest on it... but now it's different. Thanks.
I would need to sit down and really think about the amount of time to construct a chair with this amount of detail. I think you are an excellent craftsman and clearly recognize the importance of a comfortable place to sit down!! 🎉
"sit down " Another great video , I appreciate all you do , as a non woodworking person I am amazed at what you do ! The chair looks fantastic , and well mmmmmmm it looks fantastic..............Thanks for sharing !
I love how this chair turned out! I think maybe before I Sit Down, though, I'd add some kind of cushion. I think I dark green would complement it really well!
Now I can share a tip- go to the cosmetic section of any store that has one. There are pre-manufactured ‘popsicle sanding boards’ people use for doing their nails. You can buy all different grits just like sandpaper. They are super cheap and some are washable. I use them all the time. Sometimes it’s easier to make something from what you have on site. Other times it’s great to buy some nail files and throw them in a drawer because you will find a time to use them if you have them. Just pointing this out to anyone who has never watched the nail polish process and who may not know.
Best you go and have a sit down Johnny 😊 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.
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!
as long as one can sit down on the chair I think it works very well. especially when you are trying to give details that are not a "normal" thing one sees. good stuff and I think you deserve to sit down. cheers.
Mr. Jhonny, I really would have liked to see the Kamiko back on that chair. I love the stuff you make, and I am learning by watching. I do need "hands on" so I really get it down. Thanks for trying new things and this chair is an example. Keep up the great work and attitude.
Haven't watched any videos on building chairs so I didn't skip parts. Cool chair. Not something I'll be trying for awhile. My skill level isn't nearly good enough yet. Enjoyed the video.
Awww, SIT DOWN, and I watched the whole video, and I'm still amazed how you come up with these ideas! You are super creative, and your chair shows it. Great job..
Love the steam bender! I got into longbow building and gotta build one out of a Wagner wallpaper steamer that is collecting dust. You said sore knees with running. I was a Phys Ther Asst and did a lot of research and experiments ...I'll try to be brief. Natural running style similar to barefoot runners, with low-to-zero rise (heel) shoes, was a game changer for me. You lean slightly forward, preserving momentum, and utilizing your feet and shock absorbers. Heel striking is how we walk, and causes increased wear and tear when running in the same way. Get this...Nike invented the heel cushioned shoe so fluffy people could jog. Your feet may be sore for a while, it's because they're out of shape. Sorry if preaching to the choir, good luck with your fitness goals!
"sit down". This is the first chair-build video I've ever watched & it was fascinating! I've never seen some of the jigs you used for the chair-build before & your woodworking skills just blew me away. Too bad the Kumiko didn't work out ... the look would have been spectacular & well worth the $2,000 you quoted in the video for a proposed sales price! I enjoyed this video very much & hope you'll do more chairs. 👍
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
I paid $3000 USD for a rocking chair once. I don't regret it. The chair is beyond epic, has not a single flat surface, and is built to last a lot longer than I will.
I had to sit down while watching this video. It is a beautiful chair and a beautiful build. It was very interesting watching your techniques, the small gap filler and replacing a small chip out. Yes, someone may have to spend 2000 bucks to buy, but what a masterpiece.
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 not the size of your workshop. It's the quality of your wood 😂
Go watch bourbon moth woodworking. He's pretty unapologetic.
They have a huge workshop with $2 million worth of high end equipment and they are a beginner/amatuer
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.
Mistake are sometimes edited out just so you know
"why buy something when you can build it for 3× as much" isnt only woodworking. Sewing. Electronic repairs. Any crafty hobby. It's everywhere.
@@Not_mera and it's only 3x as much because of the economics of mass production. But also can mean the custom made item is higher quality than mass produced.

In 10 years it's gonna be true for most of white collar jobs as well. Why use AI when you can hire a person for 100 times the cost?

It was a real "think about it" explanation 😂

This is the first time I’ve interacted with a video creator in such a manner, but I just loved the way you did it. I hope you get to sit down soon lol
Brilliant and complex piece of work Jonny. I really appreciate you showing your mishaps. Your kumiko turned out amazing, sorry it didn’t work out.
Chuck a cushion on that and I bet Katy will be glad to sit down - especially looking after the wee one 🤗
Sit down. I love to watch your videos. I absolutely love this chair.
I love to sit down and watch these videos. I don't think I'll ever build a chair, but I can still learn something from this.
I also love to sit down in front of these
Nice job Jonny. Thanks for taking along for the ride 🌞
A chair is a piece of real design. There is so much character in it. I am sure you had a great time challenging yourself on that one. I really love what you did.

Seen nearly 100 slab table builds, this was unique and refreshing!
I would absolutely love to sit-down in that chair. Great job.

Why did you forget punctuation like a sentence in 💀
@@jacobbartlett331 just so you would notice my story.
couldn't sit down on this one, it was awesome! love how you show us all the stumbles and new learnings to make things move forward!
Even if I'm not able to spend time in the shop right now due to moving and the ensuing chaos, it's nice to be able to sit down and watch woodworkers show new techniques and tricks to explore when I get the shop back together.
I was told to “sit down” so much as a kid…
Look, tell the H8ers to pound wet sand! I love the craftsmanship you put into each build!
Always great to sit down and watch a good woodworker finish a fine project.
If you don’t watch Jonny build from start to end, boy sit down and take several seats. Love the chair, beautiful still😊
It’s easy to sit down when your chair is ,are into a masterpiece of art. Good work.
You know, "Sit down and be quiet" is the most essential chairy sentence teachers use again and again.
Sit Down.... Late but I enjoy seeing the failures and fixes we all make.... Thanks so much for doing what you do

Yeh my dad showed me the way. He gave my mom a cement mixer. And a year later we had a flagstone Pateoin the back yard. The gift their kept on giving!
Enjoyed sitting down to watch this! Great job!
Bless You ! The Chair looks amazing and your persistence duly noted…
Jump up, jump up, and sit down. Love it. Thank you! ❤

To sit down in that chair once complete must be satisfying. So much time to build... But looks stunning. Love your videos!

Commissioning tattoo artists to make graphic art for merch is actually a really awesome idea.
Great job. I see you have been "sitting down" for a lot of new tattoos. Props to the artist.

It's refreshing to watch a chair build on UA-cam. Sit Down, put your feet up, chair looks good too
Now that you said it, I realized most woodworkers I see on YT usually make tables, desks, sometimes cabinets, but almost never chairs
"Sit Down". Thank you for a great video of making a complex chair. Take care and. God bless. I love chairs
Sit down
Watching you build all these amazing pieces is very relaxing!
Can't wait to see how someone can sit down on that wood puzzle you made. Nice work!
Sit down, now stand up and finish editing the table video, very excited 😊
I love when I can sit down and watch a nice video about chairs.

They were called emery boards in the1950s.
Sit Down - Yet again another Jonny Builds video! Woo Hoo - Since discovering your channel - I have not missed a video! Love all your content Jonny!
Best you go and have a sit down Johnny 😊
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.
Considering I spend nearly all my days "sitting down", this chair looks amazing, loved it.
For me chairs are a passion, I spent 3 years learning about making rocking chairs. I am now focusing on Aderondack chairs some folding chairs.
Really enjoyed watching you work through the problems that went into building this chair. Sit Down!!
I'm just here to say I can't imagine anything more enjoyable than building a chair 😂 Good looking chair.
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!
What a fun and creative design, thanks for sharing!! Sit down, and enjoy the support of that custom art piece.
as long as one can sit down on the chair I think it works very well. especially when you are trying to give details that are not a "normal" thing one sees. good stuff and I think you deserve to sit down. cheers.
"Sit down" and give yourself a pat on the back, Jonny. That chair is beautiful!!
I found it very interesting watching how you built this chair and I would love to sit down on something this beautiful and unique.
I needed to sit down the whole time, it's a super complex but a nice piece in the end.
Well, I would sit down on that chair! Beautiful, creative project!❤
Mr. Jhonny, I really would have liked to see the Kamiko back on that chair. I love the stuff you make, and I am learning by watching. I do need "hands on" so I really get it down. Thanks for trying new things and this chair is an example. Keep up the great work and attitude.
Love your style of making videos! Wonˋt loose any second - so I grap a tea and „sit down“ watching them 😊
I don't do any woodworking, but found this absolutely fascinating, I just had to "sit down" and watch.
I love sitting down and watching such great content.
I wouldn't mind having a "sit down" in that chair it looks pretty cool :)
Haven't watched any videos on building chairs so I didn't skip parts. Cool chair. Not something I'll be trying for awhile. My skill level isn't nearly good enough yet. Enjoyed the video.

Awesome job on the seats, can't wait for the "sit down" moment 😋
I had to "sit down" as I watched you make the last adjustments to the seat pan, and loved the video.
I find this at least 10 times more interesting compared to a video about making a table because it is more complex, more difficult
I paid $3000 USD for a rocking chair once. I don't regret it. The chair is beyond epic, has not a single flat surface, and is built to last a lot longer than I will.
4:44 That's the most advanced bending trick of steamed wood I've seen so far, nice one!
I had to sit down while watching this video. It is a beautiful chair and a beautiful build. It was very interesting watching your techniques, the small gap filler and replacing a small chip out. Yes, someone may have to spend 2000 bucks to buy, but what a masterpiece.
This makes me want to just SIT DOWN and watch more chair building videos. Loved the thoughts of all the youtuber's on chairs, so funny.
