  • This project was a ton of fun. The walnut and brass combo is really great. Not to mention the oil tanned leather really elevates the design. For more info along with a free cutting template, be sure and check out the written article.

    It's really quality stuff, each bit designed/drafted for perfection ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx5WQ3WP9ku9goJTCwWiteQ2BfbhKsH_vl Chairs that are comfortable as heck, but would also probably last generations and all sorts of abuse, not that I'm going to put it through that. Everything about this chair is pleasant, the only thing I'd make a note of is that the low back may be an issue for some. For me, it's comfy and sits just right.

    This is Great Mike. I'm glad you are incorporating other mediums and styles into your wood working. Also love how functional a lot of your stuff has become.

    Excellent job! I love that you included the process for cutting mirror pieces at the same time for efficiency. Those little tips that apply to future projects are the nuggets that I love most about your vids! Keep up the solid work!

    Looks sick. I recommend using a vegetable tanned leather on the second. Maybe a 4-5 oz hide. Looks sick. The curves remind me of a Barcelona chair.

    • @ModernBuilds
      @ModernBuilds  7 років тому

      Interpreting... why veg tan over oil tanned?

  • @Xanniefication

    So just a tip. when punching holes into leather you should have a piece of 1/4 inch dense rubber it will help a whole lot!

  • @AxcelGamer97
    @AxcelGamer97 6 років тому

    It's probably pretty nice having the seat and back designed the way you've designed them. That way whenever they get worn down, you can replace them much more easily in comparison to some other more permanent designs. The frame of the chair is likely to last longer in comparison to the leather, so this design makes the most sense. Good job!
