I've been meaning to make an industrial style chair for a long time and I actually have a couple more that I'd like to make too. This style of furniture appeals to me and I really enjoyed making it too. For this project I replicated an old chair I saw in a photo and worked it out from there. If you want to see the original, do a search for 'Rubery Owens stools'.
No matter what you do - keep on! I love this video as much as your others, with the aluminum feet you really got me. You are the greatest example of what is possible even if you don‘t have each and every tool. Improvisation is key!
the design would lend itself for an height adjustable chair, by inserting a threaded shaft in the 2 big metal pieces... but if way too high already it may not be possible to insert that mechanism and get back enough height to your liking...
Quite possibly, the single most skilled thing you did with this wonderful project was 'welding up a simple jig for the fly press'! Pretty effective way to accurately bend a steel bar along the edge like that! As always, a very creative project, done masterfully!
Back when you restored the fly press I thought now what good is that tool. What could he possibly use that for in his shop. Well now I know. Very nice chair.
It is so easy for Pask to hide his mistakes in editing, but he always keeps them in the video. This not only shows his integrity but also shows to all of us planning some projects that mistakes are always possible and sholud never stop us from trying and continuing. Thank you Mr. Pask!!!
I have to agree with Greg Norvell on that aspect of the build. The aluminum balls looked perfect, they showed real craftsmanship. Super nice build, I so enjoyed watching you make things from a photo! Please keep em coming!! Thanks for sharing :)
"Oh I accidentally drilled straight through, well I'll just cover it up" "Oh I shouldn't have used plywood, it chips, I'll just cover that up" "Oh I don't want to blacken the nuts, but they are on the under side so no one will see" Great chair still, but I wouldn't say hes the greatest "marksman". A great craftsman would right those wrongs
After watching what has happend in the USA over the last years, and especially months, I'm so convinced, that there more idiots out there than I thought, and some of them just love to spend their time on YT opening video after video just to give them a thumbs down. Not watching or knowing what the videos are about, as they really don't care! It just makes their day perfect, the more videos they can dislike and the more they can spread their bad vibes! They are just scum, these anonymous cowards! That's all to say about them! Scum! Normal people just watch and give a thumbs up to the videos we like, evt. write a comment now and then, and we move on when there are videos we're not interested in. Simple as that! Right? (y)
I consistently find myself unable to express my admiration for your work. All of it, fresh and original content, skill, patience, ingenuity, editing. Thank you for beeing on youtube Neil.
I always enjoy single part videos, I’ll watch 2 part ones. When they start to get multiple over weeks then I won’t watch as easy, unless the parts are already out. But you Neil I’ll always watch.
I find it amazing when a craftsman says "Oh, I didn't have a mill (or metal lathe), I did the best with what I had" and the result is stunning. Well done. Love the design and the execution. Can I order a dozen?
Oh yeah! I can see why you choose that design of chair. It's really encouraging to see you showing your greater range of skills with addition of the metal shop. Another great addition to the shop!
Insane amount of work. That is not an industrial style chair- its a piece of art and there was a lot more timeand effort put into it than some modern "art pieces".
I feel like I'm becoming a bit of a scratched record here, but you sir are as ever a patient craftsman, with attention to detail that is rather extraordinary. Once again, this was a joy to watch, and showcases your talent and skillet with both wood and metal work!
Every inch of your move is worth watching. Insha-Allah (if GOD willing) sure I will make this chair and the welding work table. Many thanks for bringing up these ideas GOD BLESS YOU take care
Lovely project, Neil, well done. And thanks a lot.... now I need a flypress. I've been fascinated with them for quite a while from blacksmithing channels. You just don't see them for sale often in the US. Glad to see you got a metal bandsaw. I don't know how handy/maker people live without one. They're not "good" tools, but they are indispensable. I've had one for ~25 years, and pro tip, the top wheel bushing needs greasing once a year or so, otherwise they wear out.
Wonderful science demonstration while bending the steel with the fly-press. The color/texture change shows what regions are now in compression, tension, and unchanged.
Hello Mr. Neil! I've been watching your videos a long time and you've inspired me in the way that you did woodworking but eventually had a foray into metalworking. I found myself inspired, going from solely resin and 3d-printed art into sewing. I'm in the process of making my first full costume right now! Cheers to broadening horizons!
@Pask Makes, instead of heating the 'whole' area when you try to 'unbend' the tight radius, you can simply heat the longest side of the radius to a red hot in a few places around the area to correct. This makes the steel expand while hot (making a tigher curve/radius yes) and contract to an even smaller area than what it originally was. You can also use this to correct straightness on a pole, per example, after welding heavy passes on one side which will make that pole curve like there's no tommorrow. Doing some 'spot heating', every couple inches afterwards will essentially do the opposite and straightenthe piece. spiral staircases magic
I so much enjoy your projects and when I came home from a long workday tonight (7 AM to 7 PM GMT+1 Stockholm) and went on YT and saw that you put up a new one it made me genuinely happy! Great project and great camera work as always! Cheers!
Love it! I need one. I really enjoy the cleanliness of the little feet covers. They look fantastic. Knife walls help tame splinter prone plywood. Cheers!
You never cease to amaze me with your creativity, skills and patience. Superb build on this old-time machinists chair. This sort of remind me of a chair I sat in a drafting class way back. Always looking forward to your new videos, keep them coming.
Really enjoyed this one, every step was interesting and well thought out. My favorite part are the feet, and I loved how you made them with what you had
This is an AMAZING project!! The fact that you saw something you liked and then were able to recreate it is like a superpower. I envy you 💕💕 Good job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I really enjoyed the build process and I also love the industrial style of the chair. I never would have thought that flat bar would bend in the direction where it has the most resistance to bending. A true functional work of Art!
Man I just keep getting amazed with your craftsmanship. Amazing work. I'm a wooden sailboat architect/builder and do build them myself so I hope you understand the recognition I have for your works.
I loved watching your craftsmanship and attention to detail. I have an original “Blade” chair as they are called which I am restoring. I understand that they were produced for the Air Ministry in the 1950’s. Sadly there is nothing online about how the chair was designed and developed. I would love to get more history about it as part of our lost UK industrial heritage. Rubery Owen were a significant engineering company at one time manufacturing components for aircraft and vehicles amongst many other components.
Beautiful video. It blows my mind that you can cold-work on a fly-press that effectively. I would've gone right to the forge with that. I've always wanted a fly-press, but now I really want one.
Hello Neil, it is always impressive how you do things. I'm not the type to comment or like every video. Your projects are usually so impressive and inspiring. You have a great workshop, but you also tackle projects that come from so many different areas that one can only be amazed. The fact that you also show the mistakes that happen to you in the course of your work makes the whole thing even more valuable for me and certainly also for many of your viewers. I would be interested in what you did before TH-cam. Thanks for the entertainment and inspiration. Greeting Poly (Translated with google translate, I hope you understand what I mean.)
Awesome brother. I hope I can get back making stuff again. I have so much talent but not the health to stand up and walk. One day at a time, I am stubborn enough I will get back my life and hopefully one day show you all few cool designs I built. Including free energy power.
Nice work! There's no way that I would make that chair without a swivel seat. Either that or swivel casters. The footrest is a great idea. Looking forward to more.
i love these long kinds of videos! it's so interesting how you explain everything like why and how you did something, but also why not to do something! i loved the end result too!
Unless you try out the innovations, you cannot learn something new. And you are always working to teach innovations. And you always produce innovative studies and ideas. Thank you for sharing. See you. greetings.
You probably won’t see this, but here goes! Have you ever heard of a Bustle-Chair?

Exactly! Use the tools you have to the max!
Glad you enjoyed that Greg! It was the only way I could think of and I was determined to make them somehow! :)
Agree! I was sure you would say after making one that it was too much. But they look awesome.
Man! I love watching you make this stuff but I cant imagine having as much patience as you do for some of these builds hahaha
Who ever did not like this, they are totally blind.
This is totally a craftsmanship.
I wanted to suggest that "craftsmanship" was the word you wanted, but "marksmanship" works - he "hit the mark". So cool. :)
"Oh I accidentally drilled straight through, well I'll just cover it up"
"Oh I shouldn't have used plywood, it chips, I'll just cover that up"
"Oh I don't want to blacken the nuts, but they are on the under side so no one will see"

@@pirakoXX Absolutely you are right.
Bending on the fly press is inspired. Super impressed by that. Great job.
Glad you liked it!
I consistently find myself unable to express my admiration for your work. All of it, fresh and original content, skill, patience, ingenuity, editing. Thank you for beeing on youtube Neil.
You are my absolute favorite TH-camr!
Marvellous piece of work, reminds me of chair bodgers working with coppicewood and a pole lathe. Now I want a chair like that of course!
I am SO IMPRESSED with that fly press. I had no idea you could cold work steel, essentially by hand. That's incredible.
I loved the rinsing of the bolts in a strainer over a full bucket. I will try to remember that one for the future. Great project by the way.
I always enjoy single part videos, I’ll watch 2 part ones. When they start to get multiple over weeks then I won’t watch as easy, unless the parts are already out. But you Neil I’ll always watch.
The transition of the back rest supports blackening was so satisfying! Such clean execution!
I find it amazing when a craftsman says "Oh, I didn't have a mill (or metal lathe), I did the best with what I had" and the result is stunning. Well done. Love the design and the execution. Can I order a dozen?
Love the rustic table in the background as well
I was not expecting the legs to bend so nicely on the fly press! Nice work!
An artist's eye + amazing craftsmanship + hard work + patience = beautiful, functional furniture. Your photography site is also amazing. Impressive!
Oh yeah! I can see why you choose that design of chair.
It's really encouraging to see you showing your greater range of skills with addition of the metal shop.
Another great addition to the shop!
Your attention to detail is remarkable.

Many thanks for bringing up these ideas GOD BLESS YOU take care
Pask sharpieing screws black makes me feel weirdly better about myself😂
Take notes, because there was a lot to learn from this video. Doing what you did with what you had came out beautifully Neil.
Thanks very much Damo - glad you enjoyed it mate! :)
I love the blue tint to the blackening process.
Lovely project, Neil, well done.
And thanks a lot.... now I need a flypress. I've been fascinated with them for quite a while from blacksmithing channels. You just don't see them for sale often in the US.

Awesome to hear you're adding a milling machine to your setup. I'm looking forward to watching you take your metalworking game to the next level.
Wonderful science demonstration while bending the steel with the fly-press. The color/texture change shows what regions are now in compression, tension, and unchanged.
Hello Mr. Neil! I've been watching your videos a long time and you've inspired me in the way that you did woodworking but eventually had a foray into metalworking. I found myself inspired, going from solely resin and 3d-printed art into sewing. I'm in the process of making my first full costume right now! Cheers to broadening horizons!
Sewing is really cool! can I ask what you are sewing?
Awesome - good luck with the costume! :)
Wow! Is there anything too hard for Pask! I am addicted to your videos, look forward to the next one! So awesome!!!
Glad to see the fly press getting some good use put in, it's a super cool tool.
What a fantastic piece dude..
Your vids are always full of tips and tricks for all those folk who only have limited tools.
Great stuff as always....
seriously this is my new favorite channel.... your builds are so amazing.
Very good workshop, excellent, inventive, down-to-earth CRAFTmanship and we have our relaxing dose of the day! Pask does MAKE!
You sir are a master woodworker and an Amazing steel fabricator and all around genius ! Amazing videos Mate..
Your projects and craftsmanship never cease to amaze me.
You are a man of patience - I can respect that 👍🏻

I’ve never heard of a fly press before...that’s pretty cool! Looks like a very useful tool. Awesome project. Great job!
He has a video up about mounting it.
Uwe Keim thanks for the heads up...looking forward to it. Just found his channel. This guy looks pretty talented.
Collin Smith this guy and „My Mechanics“ are the best subscriptions in my TH-cam list. 👌🏻
Uwe Keim Not looked at,”My Mechanic’s”, will have to go over there and take a look 👀
@@mxcollin95 2nd the My Mechanics. Start with the Tire pressure gauge one. If that doesn't hook you nothing will
Love it! I need one. I really enjoy the cleanliness of the little feet covers. They look fantastic. Knife walls help tame splinter prone plywood. Cheers!
Shows a process involving multiple tools and steps that would take me a day: “It was a bit of work” :)
Awesome job by the way, the chair looks great!
That is a super cool chair. I love how you arent afraid to show your mistakes!
I like seeing your process on the fly using basic tools and included all your setbacks. Great piece👍
I just can't get over how clever you are with all these projects...awesome job as always.
You never cease to amaze me with your creativity, skills and patience.
Superb build on this old-time machinists chair. This sort of remind me of a chair I sat in a drafting class way back.
Always looking forward to your new videos, keep them coming.
I about lost it when you said "So I just sharpie'd it in!", that was just too funny. You're the best, Pask.
I’m learning soo much, love how you use creativity to solve problems along the way, tons of ‘a-ha’ moments! 🙏🏻
A machinist chair made with mostly woodworking tools... awesome! Loved it
Is there anything you can’t do Neil? Simply amazing an a joy to watch as usual.
Man you have a steady hand on that bandsaw ! Beautiful bench congrats.
That looked like a lot of work. Turned out nice
Really enjoyed this one, every step was interesting and well thought out. My favorite part are the feet, and I loved how you made them with what you had

Never a dull moment. Thank you so much for sharing. I always come away from your videos feeling enthused, refreshed and inspired.
It’s cool seeing the metal change colors when the bending force hits it.
might be the scale chipping off?
I love the way your work is more about the process than the result. And still the result is always amazing
Man I just keep getting amazed with your craftsmanship. Amazing work. I'm a wooden sailboat architect/builder and do build them myself so I hope you understand the recognition I have for your works.
Your skill level will never cease to amaze. I look forward to every build, the fact that you always own your mistakes makes it even more enjoyable!

Beautiful creation, congratulations Neil. It is not easy to combine woodworking with that of iron with this precision and quality. SL
WOW! Amazing work. Amazing tools and knowledge. I am glad your skill is now archived forever. Pass on every secret your GrandPa taught you!
Stellar work as always Neil. Thanks for sharing it with us.

That's a really nice chair mate and that fly press really works well on projects such as this. Great video buddy
I so enjoyed this detailed video of all the metal working tools and the chair made using them. You are incredible!
nifty ... watching whatever you create is a privilege.
That fly press worked amazingly well!
I love your ingenuity. Your solution for making the ball feet was impressive.
Awesome job mate!! I am a big fan of this style as well. Absolutely live it!!
Thanks for the content and you always give such good explanation as well. Cheers
Man, that looks great! You've got a ton of patience, making all those aluminum foot pieces that way would have driven me nuts!
Beautiful job, the foot rest will really finish it off well.
Easily my favorite of your videos. Such a great showcase for your myriad talents and clever construction. Kudos!
Boiled linseed oil is my favourite finish for wood or steel. Good job.
Incredible work as ususal. I particularly like the work you did on the feet of the chair.
Bloody brilliant Neil! No end to your improvisation skills.. regards, Mark (South Africa)
This is truly fooking awesome! Well done! My god, the stuff you do is out of this world!
Fantastic build. Extremely satisfying to watch every step of the project! 👍👍👍👍
One of the coolest chair builds ever.
Thanks very much wendell! :)
Impressed as always. You are always a pleasure to watch and an inspiration to get me on the workshop and take on bigger projects.

Your work as ever is fantastic. Wish I had more than a 7 x 4 shed to work with.
I love the idea for the end cap on the legs, with a little bit of adjusting they could be even made spinable with some bearings, awesome work
You probably won’t see this, but here goes!
Have you ever heard of a Bustle-Chair?
Basically it’s a stool that ties around the waist and has a big ol Victorian era skirt covering it, and you can sit whenever you want!
There desperately needs a modern version of it [insert endless list of uses here], something that folds up and lies flat, that won’t poke out too much and cause a public nuisance, and looks good behind a pair of jeans.
I wasn’t sure about contacting you with the idea but then this popped up in my suggestions! This chair kind of reminds me of it. And of the wood working channels that I watch YOU were the only person that I thought would create a masterpiece if you took up the challenge.
A beautiful chair and another great video. Thank you for including your mistakes so the rest of us can also learn from them.
Looks amazing, fantastic job mate 👍🏾
Foot rest will absolutely fit right in with this design...👌🏾
Love it and gave me some ideas. Cap nuts might be an option for a more finished look to the bolt ends.
You ha e the patience of a saint. Absolutely love watching everything you do
