As a woodworker and furniture maker, that feeling of always wanting the next thing to be the best thing and that base-level anxiety about, so real. This is a great piece.
this can happen to any project. Adding that youre a woodworker and furniture maker is irrelevant. i dont have anything against woodworkers or furniture makers, its just pretty weird to write your comment that way
You've unintentionally pointed out the flaw of this project. It's so over-engineered and over-designed to the point where it can only ever be a school project. It was definitely valuable as a learning experience, but its just way too complicated to actually produce as a product, even as a handmade boutique one.
@@Dead_Anteater a large woodworking company could cnc carve this in 4 pieces and chaging the seat material to something knitted should make it feasible. Still gonna cost a couple of grand but definitely doable
As an industrial design engineer, I must say that I haven't made a project quite as complex as what you've done here. The woodworking projects we were assigned were not at all this challenging or expensive (more than 1000 dollar in materials alone?? damn!). You have a great future ahead of you if you keep this up. Good luck with your future projects!
Thanks for the support! Most of the people in my major definitely DO NOT spend as much money or put as much time as I did into their chair projects. I went above and beyond, but in a bad way, as I didn't hit any of my project deadlines. I did this because I have a youtube channel, wanted to submit to this competition and other future ones as well, and because I thought I could possibly get a buyer down the line to recoup the costs. Yeah, this is 100% not the norm and no students should be looking at this as if they need to spend 1k on materials.
Tips for anybody sewing with fur: You don't have to shave the seam allowance, you can sew it up like normal and then pull out the hairs from the seam by sticking something long and narrow under them (like a paintbrush or a knitting needle) and pulling them out of the crack. If the seam then has gaps, you can run the seam under the sewing machine once again. Kyle did a great job using a scalpel to cut the fabric on the wrong side! Using scissors will cut the furs and it makes a mess, and especially with hairs _this_ long, it might ruin the fur by the seams. You can also use a box cutter, or if you don't have those, you can use scissors and only keeping them close to the fabric, careful to not cut the fur pile. You did a wonderful job!
Also using a larger needle and upholstery thread! I think if he had tried this the thread just would have snapped, it looks like a very fine nylon thread like the type made for sewing on appliques. Even if it has a higher breaking strain than that, nylon/invisible thread is notoriously hard to work with and totally unnecessary for stitching that will be hidden [ie seams] especially with a fabric like that.
I have no credibility in woodworking, design or any profession related to this, but I still want to say, this is one of the most beautiful chairs I've ever seen and I think you can rightfully call this art and a masterpiece.
As a suggestion, add two elastic straps to the underside of the seating cradle in an overlapping X cross between each opposite pillar to add some extra support for not only the user but also so the fabric doesn't stretch or deform over time due to the constant intermittent weight, whilst also adding some extra comfort for feeling more structurally supported whilst sitting down. and at most it'll just take a simple redesign of the metal brackets that hold the fabric in place on each corner. :)
This is such a relatable art school experience. I remember doing a screen printing project, after finishing 3 essays, and I was in the studio until 4AM where I had to kill the lights and hide from security. Then I popped the lights on, did my last layer, changed clothes in my car, and then went back in for critique. Everyone thinks art school sounds glamorous, but really you just live off cigarettes and get zero sleep.
@@catttttt If I remember correctly it was this trippy still life based on a vase my parents have which is six interconnected faces. I drew a bunch of stuff around it like roses, hemp leaves, gold jewelry, money, poker chips, drugs...like a Vice City in still life thing. I mixed CMYK halftones with cross-hatching and linework, and mixing the inks to the right opacity & saturation, aligning all the layers, and running the screens right took several attempts. It came out pretty sick, but I felt literally sick after it was all done.
Having watched the UA-cam-woodworking scene for a long time, it's crazy how these new guys just pop out of nowhere with great skills in both woodworking and video making. Great stuff dude, all around. Removing that much material power carving, the turbo plane disc is a dream. Definitely pricey for a student budget, but you should make subtle hints to the people in charge of the space how they're missing out. :) *edit* "the professor is banning hand carving" *sad noises* Hot melt glue is much better than superglue (as it's way less brittle) when gluing on temporary clamping aid pieces. I use a spray bottle with isopropyl alcohol to get them off after they've served their purpose.
Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely keep that hot glue one in mind. I think the carving might be a hard sell haha. We have a CNC machine which the few students that have slightly contoured pieces (like seat dishes) use since we're design students, and I'm the only one with a woodworking background. Personally, I would love if we could have nice carving tools, but I'm pretty much the only one that has and probably ever will use them because I go crazy on these projects. But hey, might be worth a shot
I think a large part of it is that UA-cam has accelerated the early learning. Watch 15 woodworkers for a couple of years and you have already picked up a bunch of skills before you even make your first project.
@@sparkyenergiaIt helps A LOT when YT makers include their processes of both their own learning and then project development. And they KEEP including projects where mistakes are made--even costly ones--as means to show their viewers that a.) No matter what your skillset, sh*t happens and b.) Even big mistakes don't have to ruin your passion.
Genuinely one of the most beautiful chairs I've seen. I could 100% see this on some fancy furniture site listed for 5 figures and the fact you made it while still learning, having done so much in this project for the first time makes it all the more impressive. I wish I could have the dedication to a project that you have, you seem like the kinda guy that could get anything done if given enough time.
If you want more strength in the fabric. You can sew nylon straps into it. This will take the force of the fabric and the sew lines. So it should be very very strong
i was thinking of how trampoline works! A stretchy material on the corners or hidden springs to absorb impact and strong braided or nylon straps woven for support.
Man! I just watched this 32-minute video like I was watching a movie! I almost felt the disappointment and excitement just like you! You have something really special here. Congratulations!
"Chairs are complicated" - You really went with the undersell of difficulty there didn'tcha? XD My brother in woodworking, well done! looks amazing!!!!
You're very fun to watch and listen to. Most of the wood channels I watch are higher level so its very refreshing to see someone taking us through all of the learning curves. You have a fantastic attitude and sense of humour. Just FYI in case you think the tinier offcuts of walnut aren't worth anything, you should put a call out to jewelry makers. They do beautiful things with very tiny pieces. It WAS hard to watch all that sawdust heading into the trash 😭 I feel your pain!
i want you to know this video has been in my feed dozens of times and i finally watched it. im so glad i did. great work, keep it up, and never let that passion fade. keep finding new fun stuff to make.
As someone who took Product Design a while ago (I chose a different career now, not because I didn't like it, more so because I liked music a little bit more) you have no idea how happy I was to see that your chair worked!! The perfectionism when making stuff is so real, but really I am super glad that you finished the chair in time in the end, I'm looking forward to more of your content!
For your dilemma at 10min. mark mallet & chisel work would be the traditional solution. Alternatively, you could use a stomp mortiser if your shop has one. Third option would be remove most of the waste with drill press or by hand with a forstner bit and fine tune with mallet & chisel. Lots of options to achieve this 🙂
This video hits so hard. It just perfectly encapsulates that feeling of wanting to give your absolute everything to your work despite the constraints of time. For me, it really brought back a familiar feeling of the passion and pain of my own school projects even though it was a completely different sort of creative pursuit. I really think any student could watch this video and see not only themselves in it, but a lot of valuable lessons that were shared with the audience throughout. He absolutely aced it, deadline or not, because he refused to give up and ultimately made a piece truly worthy of being proud of.
I'm not a woodworker but as a designer and maker who also loves to explore new techniques and materials etc. I can totally relate to this video. Well done, the chair looks amazing and it was great to get to follow your process, thanks for sharing! Btw. It would be great to also get videos on other topics than woodworking, that light looked really cool! 😁
Those 3d printed angled mortising templates are genius! I literally spent several days last month building jig upon jig to cut a through mortise at 11.6 degrees for a seat back post to go through an armrest. It never occurred to me to make a 3d printed template. Definitely keeping that in my back pocket. Love it!
Wow, just Wow. The final product is incredible, it demonstrates the effortless and inevitable design that can only come from a VERY high effort design process. And based on this video, your process was extremely high effort, you should be proud. As an architecture student I intimately understand the late nights & long hours, the crushing defeat when you could have done more, and the absolute joy of the "Sit in my chair!" moment when it all comes together. Honestly evaluating this on a design perspective, it is very accomplished for someone so young. There are a few moments when curves aren't perfectly smooth and I think the proportions of some parts could be slightly changed, but taken as a whole this chair is a striking, unique, and breathtaking form thats "Comfy AF" to boot. I genuinely think this is close to the caliber of the great chairs of history: think the Eames lounge chair, the Barcelona chair, the Tulip Chair, etc. This model is not quite perfect (I'm sure you know design never is), but it's damn close. Fantastic, and well documented. If I were a designer looking for an apprentice I would hire you on this video alone.
It turned out beautifully. To strengthen the seat, you could make an X with leather or layered canvas with a couple extra straps going horisontal at the top and bottom like an hourglass shape. Faux fur backing fabric is often quite fragile, so it would help relieve it quite a bit.
As a fellow woodworker...That is a spectacular piece! Incredible job for a young maker. Can't wait to see the rest of your projects. Also, thanks so much for recording and editing the work...thats another layer of artistry that gets ignored. Well done!
For leather patterning without a cluster of seams in the center: making a center patch (a bit smaller than butt size) to attach outer pieces to would disperse the seam cluster over a wider circumference rather than a center point! Also, there is another comment explaining how to sew strong fur seams without shaving. I gotta say though, I would not have clicked on the video if it wasn’t for the bold seat material 😁 Loved the video
THE ANXIETY for the deadline... as a fellow designer pleaseee I FELT IT THROUGH THE SCREEN!! It was all worth it though, the result is beautiful, CONGRATS!!!!
@@bobsherunkle4591 @CarterSemrad and Studio flow don’t like each other and he knew this project was coming out, when he knew flow was gonna be out of town he came in with clippers and cut the piece you sit on off
Now that is a great looking chair and better than most architects have done because it is also functional. Most furniture that architects make looks good but no one wants to sit in it because it is just uncomfortable. You do great work and it is rewarding to make something great and you certainly have. You did an amazing job and do not let anyone make you believe otherwise.
As a dentist who's been working for less than a year, I can really relate. I also try my best to make the nicest, most beautiful restorations (fillings, crowns etc.). However, often times it takes longer and I run into frustrating problems along the way. It can be challenging, but like u said, it's the only way to improve. There's also tremendous joy when the u reach a satisfactory result. All these hardships will become easier with time. Keep going!
17:12 i had like an out of body experience seeing the NCR building and instantly recognizing this was GaTech lol. Love the chair design wish I did industrial engineering instead of BME sometimes
I don't often leave comments on UA-cam videos, but I wanted to just say thank you for sharing this experience of yours. I've struggled with my mental health greatly for the past year. Motivation and drive are something that I've been working on, so sometimes I seek out videos like these to hope and grasp at some amount of passion that I still have left in me, and well... seeing the ending screen say "Winner 2024" made me start crying. I am so happy and proud of you, and I hope you are proud of yourself too. You have really inspired me to keep pushing and trying and enjoying life. Thank you. I will keep pursuing my passions and not let my mind hold me back
That was a beautiful journey to a really great result. In this age of powerful tools, getting organic shapes like that with a grinder seems obvious but I got the sense from watching this video that you would be the kind of artist who could really benefit from and enjoy getting skilled with chisels and spokeshaves. These old fashioned hand tools may seem quaint and slow at first but a skilled artisan can get to otherwise impossible forms and once you’re good with them they are actually much much faster than you ever expect and often the quickest way there (and chips are much more satisfying than sawdust). I’d also say that given the step of shaving the fur, you would have been faster hand sewing - you wouldn’t have had to shave it - just get some Coates upholstery thread which is super strong and pull it really tight every few stitches. So yeah, love watching you level up and just want to advise that some hand techniques can often be a powerful alternative to power tools. Happy making!
I have seen chairs with a similar hung seat like that. The difference is that yours has a large carved wooden base. The only thing I would change about that chair would be the seat material. I would have used a single piece of 15oz oak tanned leather. It could be easily shaped into the seat and wouldn't have required any sewing.
I considered leather, but because of the shape decided not to, but if you're telling me that it's possible to achieve stable curves, then I'm very interested! How does one shape leather into a curve like that, and does it have any stretch after the fact? If there are any leatherworking creators or videos you could direct me to, I would be very appreciative.
@@StudioFlowWoodworking It would be a labor of love. Leather can absolutely be stretched and worked into a fairly permanent shape; there are channels that show it for bags and shoes still. It just requires a lot of time and initial investment. Plus you have to figure out exactly which type of leather you would want and find a reputable and responsible wholesaler.
This video is a clear example of the importance of good story telling. I'm not interested in woodworking and I don't think I ever will, but the quality of the video and the story telling is so good that I watched the whole video and loved it. Keep up the good work!!!
That’s actually insanely impressive coming from a collage student, you have the potential to be the next big furniture maker. The Picasso of furniture if you will.
Just found your channel and enjoying your video, but man you took a risk at 12:55 pushing that block of wood through the table saw with your fingers between the fence and blade. That small piece of wood gets caught up and kicks back its pulling your hand straight into the blade or even one laps in concentration and it would be so easy to push your fingers into the blade. Anyway stay safe, just going to watch the rest of the build. Enjoying it so far.
@@WoodenWizard yes it is a saw stop but I get the impression he has got access to more than one workshop and there is nothing to say they are all running saw stops. As you say he needs to use a push stick and operate the machines with the respect that they deserve to avoid injury. Just hope others that dont know any better do not copy the bad techniques he is using.
@@derekrobertson1548 a former supervisor would not let me purchase a sawstop for the shop because they thought it would discourage safety practices like using a push stick, allowing students to think they can be less cautious. When I finally did run a shop with a sawstop, I’d remind students that if they triggered it, we will have to order a new part and the saw will be down for a few weeks. I had to use the threat of an inconvenience, not injury, to encourage using push sticks, though I had the part on hand…
As another industrial designer, that sketch model made me very happy. People try to avoid them but sometimes it’s the best way to get your point across and test everything
Okay, now I wish I went to college!! I didn’t know they taught woodworking and have awesome wood shops!! I may have to go check out the college down the road from me to see what they offer.
To be fair, it looks amazing and I'm honestly a bit dumbstruck at that this is "just a school project". Very well done, keep up the hard work, it's really paid off and will push you to even greater heights
End result looks amazing. Just a question though.. Looking back, could you not have used the bandsaw a lot more prior clue up, in order to decrease the carving by about 90%?
Yes, you're absolutely right. Knowing now what it looks like I could have made it more efficiently, but going in I wasn't exactly sure what the final shape would be. I wanted to take it slowly and step by step. My worst nightmare was cutting too much off, so I was playing it very very safe. I bet I could make it much faster a second time, but God forbid I have to.
That chair is piece of art, your hardwork, determination and over ambition just made a beautiful looking one of it's kind chair. Respect to you brother.
I got my first experience with wood working at 13 in middle school in "tech" class. Really only got 1 year of experience. 8 years later at 21 life feels like it will never be complete until I get back into a woodworking shop
It's most likely his CAD model of his chair, that he inserted into a 3D animation software like blender, and animated and rendered them with key frames
I was a product design student before I quit school before graduating because I got burnt out. Watching your whole process making this chair reminded me how much fun I used to have when I was doing projects like this. Man, this was a good watch and the final piece looks fken amazing. Its definitely something that would be one of your main pieces in your portfolio. Please keep posting more so people like me can get a feeling of second-hand accomplishment. Thank you brother for reigniting one of my old flames. Also, I need to know if you won that competition. Id be surprised if you didnt.
I nearly screamed when I saw what thread you were using LOL. the "invisible" thread is very tempting cause its hard to see, but its also weaker and more prone to slipping or knotting vs just a basic cotton thread. also, the added backing the fur you used had on it probably added to your sewing troubles. backings like that are meant to show on the final product, so they're a lot thicker than you'd usually have on a fur!
That feeling of crushing defeat when something goes wrong is known to all us designers. On the other side of it is an amazing feeling I can't describe. ALSO that Singer HD machine isn't heavy duty enough for that kind of sewing. You need a prosumer machine like a Juki with a larger needer and more torque. CONGRATS ON A BEAUTIFUL CHAIR!
I don't have any experience in woodworking or sewing, but oh my gosh this chair is so beautiful and you should be SO PROUD of yourself. Also, this video was so good!!!!! I loved seeing the ups and downs in the process, and I truly am so happy that I clicked on this video!! Good luck in the design competition!!!
The thought process in just going with the flow and eventually just see how it should look in the end with almost a xray vision is my favorite thing in woodworking. I feel you even if i do only very small things
This was insanely satisfying to watch. Very beautiful work of art and possibly the greatest gamer chair lol. Seriously, this looks awesome! You are a new woodworker who is still learning, I'd say you're doing pretty great. Keep pushing man, I know you'll do bigger better things as time goes by. Project videos like this are maybe the best genre on UA-cam right now. Nothing calms a tough day for me like watching beautiful art being created. Thank you for sharing
Hearing you triumphantly saying "Sit in my chair!" is all I need to hear to know the amount of pride you felt in that moment.

For me, it really brought back a familiar feeling of the passion and pain of my own school projects even though it was a completely different sort of creative pursuit. I really think any student could watch this video and see not only themselves in it, but a lot of valuable lessons that were shared with the audience throughout. He absolutely aced it, deadline or not, because he refused to give up and ultimately made a piece truly worthy of being proud of.
I'm not a woodworker but as a designer and maker who also loves to explore new techniques and materials etc. I can totally relate to this video.
Well done, the chair looks amazing and it was great to get to follow your process, thanks for sharing!
Btw. It would be great to also get videos on other topics than woodworking, that light looked really cool! 😁
Those 3d printed angled mortising templates are genius! I literally spent several days last month building jig upon jig to cut a through mortise at 11.6 degrees for a seat back post to go through an armrest. It never occurred to me to make a 3d printed template. Definitely keeping that in my back pocket. Love it!
If I ever get rich, I‘m gonna buy five of those chairs for my home. This looks absolutely awesome AND comfortable
Sell the chair, keep the Kathryn. In which case it would appear the chair was worth its weight in gold.
Dude he’s gay
I second the motion. Keep the real friends we made along the way.
exactly. Add Kathryn to the studio, when you launch.
Wow, just Wow.
The final product is incredible, it demonstrates the effortless and inevitable design that can only come from a VERY high effort design process. And based on this video, your process was extremely high effort, you should be proud. As an architecture student I intimately understand the late nights & long hours, the crushing defeat when you could have done more, and the absolute joy of the "Sit in my chair!" moment when it all comes together.
Honestly evaluating this on a design perspective, it is very accomplished for someone so young. There are a few moments when curves aren't perfectly smooth and I think the proportions of some parts could be slightly changed, but taken as a whole this chair is a striking, unique, and breathtaking form thats "Comfy AF" to boot. I genuinely think this is close to the caliber of the great chairs of history: think the Eames lounge chair, the Barcelona chair, the Tulip Chair, etc. This model is not quite perfect (I'm sure you know design never is), but it's damn close.
Fantastic, and well documented. If I were a designer looking for an apprentice I would hire you on this video alone.
It turned out beautifully. To strengthen the seat, you could make an X with leather or layered canvas with a couple extra straps going horisontal at the top and bottom like an hourglass shape. Faux fur backing fabric is often quite fragile, so it would help relieve it quite a bit.
Duuuuude. That chair is a work of art. Form and function.
Well done, man.
drawing lines to help you remember what direction to cut is genius. I think everyone has cut an angle the wrong way. I'm stealing that idea
As a fellow woodworker...That is a spectacular piece! Incredible job for a young maker. Can't wait to see the rest of your projects.
Also, thanks so much for recording and editing the work...thats another layer of artistry that gets ignored. Well done!
For leather patterning without a cluster of seams in the center: making a center patch (a bit smaller than butt size) to attach outer pieces to would disperse the seam cluster over a wider circumference rather than a center point! Also, there is another comment explaining how to sew strong fur seams without shaving. I gotta say though, I would not have clicked on the video if it wasn’t for the bold seat material 😁 Loved the video
That chair is one of the most beautiful chairs ive ever seen.
Oh i CRIED when you sat on it. So perfect
omg me too
something about seeing masterful pieces of furniture being made brings me inner peace! please keep uploading!
oh man, that thumbnail... MUST WATCH! Literally amazing build! That looks like it would be a fun degree
THE ANXIETY for the deadline... as a fellow designer pleaseee I FELT IT THROUGH THE SCREEN!! It was all worth it though, the result is beautiful, CONGRATS!!!!
Congrats on the award, unfortunate that an unnamed person was irresponsible enough to break it while you were gone
Yeah, can’t believe fellow UA-camr carter semrad broke it
@@jacobgonzalez4637 What happened? Can you share more info/where I can find out more
@@bobsherunkle4591 @CarterSemrad and Studio flow don’t like each other and he knew this project was coming out, when he knew flow was gonna be out of town he came in with clippers and cut the piece you sit on off
@@jacobgonzalez4637 I don't believe you. Where did you hear this?
That's absolutely fucked what the hell is do em a favor n take care of this kid
Unbelievable! Simply stunning! Kudos to your vision and determination 👍👍👍👍
Turned out great dude! Awesome design 👍
You're a crafts person, that's why you do what you do! It's a stunning piece. Well done!
Now that is a great looking chair and better than most architects have done because it is also functional. Most furniture that architects make looks good but no one wants to sit in it because it is just uncomfortable. You do great work and it is rewarding to make something great and you certainly have. You did an amazing job and do not let anyone make you believe otherwise.
honestly amazing. I would def buy it
You deserve more recognition, your editing, woodwork and voice overs were all so good. Keep it up man
As a dentist who's been working for less than a year, I can really relate. I also try my best to make the nicest, most beautiful restorations (fillings, crowns etc.). However, often times it takes longer and I run into frustrating problems along the way. It can be challenging, but like u said, it's the only way to improve. There's also tremendous joy when the u reach a satisfactory result. All these hardships will become easier with time. Keep going!
17:12 i had like an out of body experience seeing the NCR building and instantly recognizing this was GaTech lol. Love the chair design wish I did industrial engineering instead of BME sometimes
The way you were given another chance, and you not wasting a single second of it, inspired me to change. Thankyou.
I don't often leave comments on UA-cam videos, but I wanted to just say thank you for sharing this experience of yours. I've struggled with my mental health greatly for the past year. Motivation and drive are something that I've been working on, so sometimes I seek out videos like these to hope and grasp at some amount of passion that I still have left in me, and well... seeing the ending screen say "Winner 2024" made me start crying. I am so happy and proud of you, and I hope you are proud of yourself too. You have really inspired me to keep pushing and trying and enjoying life. Thank you. I will keep pursuing my passions and not let my mind hold me back
Wishing you well. I feel the same. It was quite moving.
That was a beautiful journey to a really great result. In this age of powerful tools, getting organic shapes like that with a grinder seems obvious but I got the sense from watching this video that you would be the kind of artist who could really benefit from and enjoy getting skilled with chisels and spokeshaves. These old fashioned hand tools may seem quaint and slow at first but a skilled artisan can get to otherwise impossible forms and once you’re good with them they are actually much much faster than you ever expect and often the quickest way there (and chips are much more satisfying than sawdust). I’d also say that given the step of shaving the fur, you would have been faster hand sewing - you wouldn’t have had to shave it - just get some Coates upholstery thread which is super strong and pull it really tight every few stitches. So yeah, love watching you level up and just want to advise that some hand techniques can often be a powerful alternative to power tools. Happy making!
I have seen chairs with a similar hung seat like that. The difference is that yours has a large carved wooden base. The only thing I would change about that chair would be the seat material. I would have used a single piece of 15oz oak tanned leather. It could be easily shaped into the seat and wouldn't have required any sewing.
I considered leather, but because of the shape decided not to, but if you're telling me that it's possible to achieve stable curves, then I'm very interested! How does one shape leather into a curve like that, and does it have any stretch after the fact? If there are any leatherworking creators or videos you could direct me to, I would be very appreciative.
@@StudioFlowWoodworkingJust look at how it’s done on the 70s chair you basically copied. The leather is not one piece. It’s called Luna.
@@StudioFlowWoodworking It would be a labor of love. Leather can absolutely be stretched and worked into a fairly permanent shape; there are channels that show it for bags and shoes still. It just requires a lot of time and initial investment. Plus you have to figure out exactly which type of leather you would want and find a reputable and responsible wholesaler.
This video is a clear example of the importance of good story telling. I'm not interested in woodworking and I don't think I ever will, but the quality of the video and the story telling is so good that I watched the whole video and loved it. Keep up the good work!!!
Amazing work on the chair! I can’t imagine how good it must have felt to finally sit in it for the first time!
That’s actually insanely impressive coming from a collage student, you have the potential to be the next big furniture maker. The Picasso of furniture if you will.
Just found your channel and enjoying your video, but man you took a risk at 12:55 pushing that block of wood through the table saw with your fingers between the fence and blade. That small piece of wood gets caught up and kicks back its pulling your hand straight into the blade or even one laps in concentration and it would be so easy to push your fingers into the blade. Anyway stay safe, just going to watch the rest of the build. Enjoying it so far.
I thought this too and it made me tighten up my booty hole
Sorry that was crass but goddamn it squicked me out thinking about that
Just watched that, went to the comments and saw this comment first. Definitely take care of those digits...
another shop guy here. this kids needs to turn down the jazz and pick up a push stick.
truth is its probably a sawstop
@@WoodenWizard yes it is a saw stop but I get the impression he has got access to more than one workshop and there is nothing to say they are all running saw stops. As you say he needs to use a push stick and operate the machines with the respect that they deserve to avoid injury. Just hope others that dont know any better do not copy the bad techniques he is using.
@@derekrobertson1548 a former supervisor would not let me purchase a sawstop for the shop because they thought it would discourage safety practices like using a push stick, allowing students to think they can be less cautious. When I finally did run a shop with a sawstop, I’d remind students that if they triggered it, we will have to order a new part and the saw will be down for a few weeks. I had to use the threat of an inconvenience, not injury, to encourage using push sticks, though I had the part on hand…
As another industrial designer, that sketch model made me very happy. People try to avoid them but sometimes it’s the best way to get your point across and test everything
So your school will spend tens of thousands on festool, saw stop, etc. but they draw the line at clamps?😂
We actually got a new shipment of clamps in this year, it just happened to be after I needed them haha
Okay, now I wish I went to college!! I didn’t know they taught woodworking and have awesome wood shops!! I may have to go check out the college down the road from me to see what they offer.
Damn son. Those are some beefy chucks to work with. Great job!
Thank you for the effort you’ve done filming it!
30:00 lol same... thought there was a good reason i liked this design so much.
Glad you enjoyed!
This piece of furniture looks lit af. Seriously, I think I've never seen something as beautiful. Well done!
That is a fine looking chair. Love how it turned out!
Thank you !
This is actually genious! Amazing design!
1:42 You know what, you could have stopped here XD, Maybe add some reinforcement if relevant :D
To be fair, it looks amazing and I'm honestly a bit dumbstruck at that this is "just a school project".
Very well done, keep up the hard work, it's really paid off and will push you to even greater heights
End result looks amazing.
Just a question though..
Looking back, could you not have used the bandsaw a lot more prior clue up, in order to decrease the carving by about 90%?
Yes, you're absolutely right. Knowing now what it looks like I could have made it more efficiently, but going in I wasn't exactly sure what the final shape would be. I wanted to take it slowly and step by step. My worst nightmare was cutting too much off, so I was playing it very very safe. I bet I could make it much faster a second time, but God forbid I have to.
That chair is piece of art, your hardwork, determination and over ambition just made a beautiful looking one of it's kind chair. Respect to you brother.
Blessed with this on my feed
love that you actually explain what you're doing and why instead of just a silent montage, looks amazing!!
This seems super easy. Bet you easily finished this project on time
At least I can build a chair with sturdy legs smh
your chair don’t even have legs smh
Who decides what counts as legs? Anyways at least I got more than an honorable mention
you know what man that’s low
Almost as low as your grade
I got my first experience with wood working at 13 in middle school in "tech" class. Really only got 1 year of experience. 8 years later at 21 life feels like it will never be complete until I get back into a woodworking shop
So what happened with the competition ?
That was extremely inspiring. The end monologue about "caring too much"... Really needed that, thank you!
what the drawing app name on 4:10
It's most likely his CAD model of his chair, that he inserted into a 3D animation software like blender, and animated and rendered them with key frames
@@adriotx ty
I was a product design student before I quit school before graduating because I got burnt out. Watching your whole process making this chair reminded me how much fun I used to have when I was doing projects like this. Man, this was a good watch and the final piece looks fken amazing. Its definitely something that would be one of your main pieces in your portfolio. Please keep posting more so people like me can get a feeling of second-hand accomplishment. Thank you brother for reigniting one of my old flames.
Also, I need to know if you won that competition. Id be surprised if you didnt.
see the last second of the video. it says he won :)
BRO! 12:50 WTF! Am I nuts or is your hand WAY too close to that blade?? Why not use a push stick or something??
it's a SawStop, fingers are more precise than a push stick, homie isn't afraid of paying up $100 for the brake cartridge I guess
I nearly screamed when I saw what thread you were using LOL. the "invisible" thread is very tempting cause its hard to see, but its also weaker and more prone to slipping or knotting vs just a basic cotton thread. also, the added backing the fur you used had on it probably added to your sewing troubles. backings like that are meant to show on the final product, so they're a lot thicker than you'd usually have on a fur!
wouldn't have been so scared to sit in it if your stitch work was better 😪
You mean your stitch work?
That feeling of crushing defeat when something goes wrong is known to all us designers. On the other side of it is an amazing feeling I can't describe. ALSO that Singer HD machine isn't heavy duty enough for that kind of sewing. You need a prosumer machine like a Juki with a larger needer and more torque. CONGRATS ON A BEAUTIFUL CHAIR!
Damn you really did edit two frames per day
I don't have any experience in woodworking or sewing, but oh my gosh this chair is so beautiful and you should be SO PROUD of yourself. Also, this video was so good!!!!! I loved seeing the ups and downs in the process, and I truly am so happy that I clicked on this video!! Good luck in the design competition!!!
Kyle so fine 🥵
You know what you did to this chair
lol
Your chair is amazing man! Good job! Hope you do well in the competition!
Who's here in 2024?
Literally fucking everyone.

Such a beautiful project! Thanks for sharing the design and build process with us! Really enjoyed it. - Rob
Beautiful...just beautiful!!! Impressive chair!
Hats off brother! Hard work pays off!!👏👏
I don’t know anything about woodworking- this video came up on my homepage and was such an enjoyable watch. Don’t realise 30 minutes had passed.
The thought process in just going with the flow and eventually just see how it should look in the end with almost a xray vision is my favorite thing in woodworking. I feel you even if i do only very small things
There's no feeling like the feeling of being proud of something. Incredible work brother. I'm proud FOR you!
Genius!!!!! Don't allow your desire to create the unique stop you because of deadlines. Damn the "lines, keep creating outside them!
had one just like that about 20 years ago.. just with a lighter wood..
had one from cane as well.
Very good veranda chairs for chilling out in!
this chair looks fine af, well done, and I'm happy that u didn't give and made it all the way to the end
This was insanely satisfying to watch. Very beautiful work of art and possibly the greatest gamer chair lol. Seriously, this looks awesome! You are a new woodworker who is still learning, I'd say you're doing pretty great. Keep pushing man, I know you'll do bigger better things as time goes by. Project videos like this are maybe the best genre on UA-cam right now. Nothing calms a tough day for me like watching beautiful art being created. Thank you for sharing
Just a tip for the sewing, you can turn the wheel to hand sow it so it goes much easier through thicker fabric. Takes longer but is a lot easier
Definatly one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture I have ever seen. Great work
