My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
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'.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

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!
Bostin Job 😁
Is that a portaband on a hinge?
Looks brillianr. how springy is the seat?
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!!!
The last time that Pask said "I'm not sure how to make that" was in 1983.
No, he says it all the time, then adds "but I'll give it a go", and makes something amazing!
@@sciangear4782 came here to say that. What a great attitude to have towards life!
Basically the Australian Chuck Norris.
The aluminum feet was the most impressive to me. Whole project was amazing. Looks awesome!!!
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 :)
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.
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"
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)
@@pirakoXX Absolutely you are right.
You are my absolute favorite TH-camr!
Pask sharpieing screws black makes me feel weirdly better about myself😂
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!
Bending on the fly press is inspired. Super impressed by that. Great job.
Glad you liked it!
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
Quite a nice looking machinists chair!
Love that you sat in it and realized you needed a foot rest. I can't wait to go watch that one.
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 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.
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 am SO IMPRESSED with that fly press. I had no idea you could cold work steel, essentially by hand. That's incredible.
That looked like a lot of work. Turned out nice
A machinist chair made with mostly woodworking tools... awesome! Loved it
An artist's eye + amazing craftsmanship + hard work + patience = beautiful, functional furniture. Your photography site is also amazing. Impressive!
nifty ... watching whatever you create is a privilege.
I was not expecting the legs to bend so nicely on the fly press! Nice work!
The transition of the back rest supports blackening was so satisfying! Such clean execution!
Pask: "I actually need to bend it across the edge"
Me: "no way. Good luck with that"
Pask: 😁
Eric Pask: hold my Fosters
Man you have a steady hand on that bandsaw ! Beautiful bench congrats.
I love the blue tint to the blackening process.
Love the rustic table in the background as well
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.
You are a man of patience - I can respect that 👍🏻
Best maker in the world! You re the king Neil!
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?
Nice job . Rubery Owen factory was about 2miles from my home up until I got married.
Sir Alfred Owen used to give the school prizes at my secondary school
My Father in Law worked at RO and my wife said the Christtmas parties and seaside outings given for children of the employees were great.
Alfred Owen founded and funded the motor racing team BRM. The factories did a huge range of produ to from locomotives to kitchen cabinets. When the main factory, in Darlaston ( then Stafordshire now West Midlands ) closed for for the night the streets would be flooded with workers returning home on foot and on bicycles. The factory had hooter to announce it was time to be at work or time to go home and this could be heard a mile and half away.
Regards, from England 🇬🇧
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.
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
seriously this is my new favorite channel.... your builds are so amazing.
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.
Wow! Is there anything too hard for Pask! I am addicted to your videos, look forward to the next one! So awesome!!!
I about lost it when you said "So I just sharpie'd it in!", that was just too funny. You're the best, Pask.
It’s cool seeing the metal change colors when the bending force hits it.
might be the scale chipping off?
Your attention to detail is remarkable.
WOW! Amazing work. Amazing tools and knowledge. I am glad your skill is now archived forever. Pass on every secret your GrandPa taught you!
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....
Шикарный стул в индустриальном стиле👍
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.
Bloody brilliant Neil! No end to your improvisation skills.. regards, Mark (South Africa)
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! :)
stunning work
Great video. Yep, not all plywood is created equal.
It's funny the lengths we all have gone to working with cheap plywood.
Extra 10 bucks and that top ply is just that little bit thicker.
Glad to see the fly press getting some good use put in, it's a super cool tool.
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.
Awesome work! Congrats!
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.)
Thanks very much - glad you're enjoying the videos. I worked in the building trade and was also a landscape photographer. :)
@@PaskMakes These must be excellent conditions for what you're doing now! ;-) Or have you only found your purpose now? Greeting Poly
Very Cool Industrial Style Machinists Chair , Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mind blowing as usual!!!!
"The quick welded jig" is actually ingenius!
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!
Thanks very much Joseph - glad you enjoyed it! :)
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 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
YOu're super skilled Sir .. well done... loved the video and the stool
Really came together in the end
Awesome work Neil! 😃👌🏻🪑👍🏻👊🏻
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!
20:37 that tear-out was unavoidable.
your craftsmanship is exceptional!
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’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
I just can't get over how clever you are with all these projects...awesome job as always.
Early 1900 industrial design was awesome, You recreated it very well. Your solutions was spot on. I think a man in Wales named Drew Pritchard will contact You soon with a commission.
If that's what you can achieve *without* a mill, you've set a pretty high bar for when your new mill finally arrives!
Just finished watching the video. Now heading out to the garage to build mine...
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
Is there anything you can’t do Neil? Simply amazing an a joy to watch as usual.
That fly press worked amazingly well!
Your projects and craftsmanship never cease to amaze me.
Absolutely beautiful. Loved it.
I’m learning soo much, love how you use creativity to solve problems along the way, tons of ‘a-ha’ moments! 🙏🏻
Top level of workmanship, exemplary !
Your workshop always seems to have a tool for the job at hand, like a little corner of Heaven!
Awesome job!
Well done, mate.
As an aside, if you throw the steel parts into a bath of vinegar, with their mill-scale still on them, the scale will usually vanish in twenty-four hours. Saves on noise, 'lectricity, grinding discs, ear torture, and so on. If you want to speed it up, use a solution of water and 10% hydrochloric acid (also known as muriatic acid), available from the local hardware shop. That takes only a couple of hours.
For oddly-shaped parts like these you can make a "bathtub" from scrap wood (you got plenty of that) and that orange plastic sheeting used by the chaps who dabble in concrete. They put it under concrete slabs and footings, but it's cheap, easy to use, acid-proof, and readily available. In Australia, the most common brand is "Fortecon", also available at your local hardware shop.
Just sayin'
I like seeing your process on the fly using basic tools and included all your setbacks. Great piece👍
Well done! So much hand work, but was totally worth it.
This was such a cool build, thanks a lot for sharing it with us.
@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
What a fantastic piece of work! Great job!
Great work
Beautiful job, the foot rest will really finish it off well.
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.
Great Job Neil!! Always inspirational!!
Very good workshop, excellent, inventive, down-to-earth CRAFTmanship and we have our relaxing dose of the day! Pask does MAKE!
Some ingenious solutions there, and a terrific result as always!
So beautiful! Makes me want to build stuff!
Rubery Owen from Darlaston in the Black Country. There aren't many local people aged 50 and above who haven't had a friend or relative work for one of their companies.
Wow. Very nice design and excellent manufacturing. Congratulations from Mexico
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.
As always, very well done and inspiring
Great job recreating that timeless design!
Stellar work as always Neil. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Impressed as always. You are always a pleasure to watch and an inspiration to get me on the workshop and take on bigger projects.
This channel has me amazed every upload. Thank you Mr Pask Makes!
Love this chair...beautiful work!!
