Really cool. I have never thought about using my Domino for a completely thru tenon. I have the smaller one so I am not sure its possible with mine. Really great video. I have thought about doing chairs but it always seemed a bit daunting. I can probably handle this :)
I’ve been following you on instagram for a while and always wondered why you don’t have a big channel! Your craftsmanship is amazing! Keep the videos coming!
LOVE this build! I wondered how the tenons connected at the chair back very inventive and cool to see! I thought it might be panto-router mischief when I 1st saw it but I thought fixturing would be difficult; I also love the chair back jog for the sliding tablesaw. so interesting to see how other people solve problems on repeatability and accuracy.
Continually say to myself, "He did it that way, God he's smart". Bravo! Love getting a peak behind the curtain, especially as I have followed you for a while now
I have never enjoyed a beautiful piece furniture being made, like I have enjoyed watching this chair being made! Bravo sir, your skill is amazing....and I support continuous sanding
Love your work. You're one of my favorite Instagram'rs. Hope you put out more you tube videos - especially on how you do your joinery on the curved table leg. I still can't figure it out 😢
thanks for the good word and the support. hoping to put out a couple videos on the scm slider and copy lathe soon. will try to do more joinery/technique stuff in the future too.
Really great work! I stumbled upon you while looking for other Minimax users… Quick question… when template routing the chair sides, why start with the small template bit and hand router before using the router table and flush trim instead of just using the table and flush trim?
the trim router does a scoring pass to establish the template/pattern onto the real wood. the big benefit of that extra step is to greatly reduce (and often eliminate) the possibility of the pattern moving or shifting under the load of a full pass on your parts.
Great video, you definitely have a nice process figured out! Curious, at 10:05, why do you use a palm router to transfer the template to the part of the workpiece and then finish on the table with the template removed?
I call that a scoring pass with the trim router. it's a way of establishing the pattern shape with minimal load on the bit, and it makes it makes the template much less likely to slip and move. then, when the majority of the material is taken off on the router table, the bearing will ride on the scoring pass from the trim router.
the tenons are made to be very tight in the mortis, and I count on them to compress a little to ensure a clean fit. so I prefer to trim back the majority of the length on the tenons so they go into the mortise easier. the last 3/16" or so wedges into place.
I can appreciate the craftsmanship and all, but that’s basically a chair you could buy at a furniture store for $100. I don’t see anything too special about it. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to build it over just going out and buying it. I mean you probably got 8 hours of labor and $50 in materials in it. If you’re doing it for fun, great. But as a business, trying to make money, I don’t think that would work.

Magnfique!! Bravo! 😊
That’s a beautiful chair, Kyle! Thanks for sharing the process video, I love seeing the whole process!
Love you IG. Please do more you tube. Amazing work
thanks for that...i'll be posting more on youtube this year for sure.

Thanks for sharing your process... super cool to see.
top work! do you ever pre finish parts prior to glueup?
An incredible amount of knowledge shared for a 21-minute video, thank you! Do you build the sides from 4/4 lumber or 6/4?
it's made from 4/4 stock

Your process is so cool. Thanks for making this video. I'm curious what did you do about the holes left after screwing in the template??
they are strategically placed where the mortises ultimately land, so the screw holes are machined away

Bravo! looks great :) But why did you cut into the dowels? (15:45)

these are excellent points and tips...it looks like I'm due a for a career change
i love how all of you romanticize mid century styles when in reality they’re just the easiest to build lol
is this a robot? only a robot or a shameless prick with no content of their own could troll like this. post a a video…even just one…and then talk lol
