Is BourbonMothWD you? I doubt it, but I thought I would ask just in case.
Hello Sir. I just want to ask if you really are the one who is sending a random prize? i received one in your other video. i already had a communication with you in telegram and i need to pay 100usd for the shipping. i can pay for that but i am hesitant because i thought it might be a scam. someone might be using your YT..
It's a scam. Bourbon Moth doesn't have a WD at the end of the username.
@@Ixnaeus he just told me I won a dining and coffee table. but when he told me i need to pay 40% of the shipping fee. I said to myself, nahhh it's a scam.
If you click on the user, it's some empty account using Bourbon's picture. Don't forget to report it.
This project gives me Norm Abram vibes, I remember him going to an antique shop measuring up and totally cloning a cool design
Norm would also definitely use a domino if it was available
Ultimate compliment.
@@johnhemby8631 Domino joiner wasn't around back when he had his show. But he did love his biscuits.
Long live Norm Abram!
I made some norm abrams copy Adirondack chairs and everyone loves them
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
Mid-century modern is one of my favorite furniture design styles. That style of armchair is one of the most iconic mid-century modern chairs and also one of the most comfortable.
That spacer guide. .. . Can be purchased as a button spacer guide at crafting/sewing stores
So...did your wife ever notice the new chair?!? We have to know, man!! You can't leave us hanging like this!!
My favorite part of walnut builds is the finishing. I love seeing that deep, rich walnut color come to life!
Stillll hangin...
I wouldn't let my wife sit on them no way.!
Actually not married but everybody that comes over notices right away how nice the chairs are. I had white leather cushions made that are like orginal.
I’ve learned that the enemy of great work is impatience. Your videos help me put the build in perspective and SLOW down. Makes all the difference in the world. Thank you!
That's a Danish modern-looking chair. I like it a lot. Well done.
I actually like when y'all use the domino or other higher end tools, it shows how much easier things can be with quality tools and helps to decide what the next tool to add to the shop may be! thanks for another awesome video!
It’s a fake channel do not fall for it report it like I did
th-cam.com/channels/NDY33AlNZVqOdO0w4MYhlQ.html
Fun build. Well done. Would love to see the missus' reaction. Miss seeing the foreman making sure you're doing good work. Blessings on your family.
i honestly love this guys videos; Not only does he explain everything he does well, but he's also just entertaining and funny haha
Before and After are astounding! What a great idea!
I was going to head into the shop on this rainy day. Watched this video and finished my coffee before t got lost in the shop😂. Well worth it! Thanks for sharing this rebuild with us.
"Eyeballing by hand" is definitely some next level woodwitchery.
super cool to replicate a piece. you see a lot of mid century furniture that are new iterations, but i like the idea of a copy piece.
This was so awesome. I never get tired of seeing what you can do! Very inspiring.
Yes! Back to furniture! I appreciate your treehouse content but the furniture is really what I am here for and love watching. Thanks dude!
Nice! I've had whatever a woodworkers equivalent to writers block is- for a few weeks. This gives me a great assignment to get me back in motion!
Hahaha! "As dry as my mom's meatloaf." Me, too, man. My mom's meatloaf was so dry you could blow DUST off it!
Looks amazing. And you make everything look so easy.
I found some chairs (2) in the trash that I thought was plastic and they were painted flat black. I walked right by them and a few minutes later I thought the curves on the chairs looked different so I went back and got them. I got to my shop and put some stripper on the paint. I came back and I removed the stripper and it revealed the most beughtiful black walnut. It turned out they are a rare 60s mid century gunlocke chairs! I've only found a couple on searching for some like it, o found they are worth about 1500 each. If my house was burning down these chairs would be on my back. They are gorgeous. To think I almost left them there and they would be in a dump. Gunlocke chairs company makes all the chairs for courthouses like the jury chairs.
They make the presidential chair that Kennedy is sitting in during the Cuban missle crisis. That chair cost 15k.
I love the video's and the commentary. The chair looks comfortable.
These comments are so positive I think it’s great!
We had a pair of those exact same chairs for the longest time, made of teac. If I knew they were worth 6 bucks each I would have never got rid of them.
Great vid as usual man.
Looking forward to the plans coming out soon on your website!
They make a little thingy that goes on the fence of the domino that does the same thing as your jig if you ever decide to get it. It came with mine so you prob already have it somewhere 👍🏻
love that you used the black walnut. it is one of my favorite woods it is beautiful.
Nice work
Beautiful
Waiting forever for a chair build. Thanks Jason.
Yeah, that was a pretty tidy rendition. I really like that mid century style.
You know I’ve waited patiently for the next treehouse saga and alas I will have to wait more. Patience brings perfection grandpa always said. This chair build will have to do for now. As always thanks for the videos.
What a lovely project. I love the aesthetics of the 50s.
Nice work Jason and I'm glad you took a break from the tree house I enjoy watching it and all just my son will be grown by the time I could afford to do that lol so its nice to see something I could build over the weekend
Hey man, you always manage to make me smile! Thanks for the awesome content!
Thanks a lot, I was watching this video when my wife walked by and said hey you could make me one or two of those, so gues what my next project is, yep, chairs
Lol I have this exact chair in my living room we got out from market place but I think it’s an IKEA.
Love the black walnut, but here and there could you throw in a cheaper materials challenge? See what you (we) can do with stock like Oak, maple, etc, and do I dare say pine?!?
Love the vids! Keep up the good work!
I really like your voice over as you walk us through your thought process
You slayed that chair! I'm totally envious of the time you have to truly enjoy your craft. Maybe one day I will too..
Love this chair. Any chance you're going to sell templates?
Great build Jason! I enjoyed your video!! Blessings!!!
Chair is beautiful. I think after you had the seat built, I would sink domino's in the intersection of the seat and back. Just so that cant flex and come appart on you.
Mr. Moth. Have you considered your success and teachings is the reason for the lumber prices? How you don't have a solid lumber Sponsor is beyond me
I have been looking for plans for this chair. There are very few MCM lounge chairs out there. Some are too chunky, some too thin. Your recreation is just right. Would you consider offering plans or templates? Love learning from you!
Great idea! Sell your templates!
Ditto. I'm in for a set of you decide to
Ditto.. I’m ready for templates
Count me in for templates and templates.
I also want the plans for this one!
Excellent video and build! I really appreciate the "double clamp" tip at 32:49. I am about to start making 2 modern patio chairs and was planning to use angled cutoffs to "square up" the legs for clamping but your way looks much simpler. Of course I will be using dowels and beadlock joinery as I haven't graduated to a Domino yet so it will take a lot more time...
"Quit whining" hahaha I just about spit out my coffee. Great build!
We had that exact chair and it never could stay together, we finally got rid of it. I now wish I had saved it to make a new one. Great job!
Using sugar instead of salt is a pretty sweet idea
Love this chair!
Nice design, I love that cushion pattern
Great looking project.
Thank you for sharing your expertise
Danke für den Tipp mit dem Zucker bzw Salz. Greetings from a German in Bulgaria. Great channel.
Your videos always make me giggle! My parents had similar chairs in the 60's but were stained dark and had a very glossy finish. Wouldn't mind having them now. They were built to last unlike what I have now...oh wait...I don't have any chairs. I have lounge chairs but nothing classic like what you built. That was a great find by your wife!
just found your channel. love the woodwork content and you have a nice balance of trolling and jokes, subscribed! happy new year
I have that exact chair! Mine is from the 60's and had orange seat and back cushions. My parents bought it before I was born.
Very nice piece!
Another great video and project! First time seeing your impala trophy on the wall!
You got a cool mind.
Looks great 😊
Love it!
Great idea
1:07 very funny segment when you also follow Buckin' Billy Ray since he's always putting those kinds of captions throughout his videos.
Wonderful
Awesome job
Yet again Jason top notch 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Here’s a comment for the algorithm gods. Great build Jason!
Great video and highly entertaining
Was the sugar domino too? LOL!!! Domino on your domino!
You have the coolest tools! 😄
Wow it turned out amazing…….she will love it😎
Love your presentations 😂
That was cool. Thank you
Very cool chair! One question… Why didn’t you just use the original sections for a template instead of going to all the work of making them out of ply?
I love this chair. An improvement over the former insofar as that rope or tape bottom. Slats are better. Congratulations. Definitely, do not tell wife about this! But please report back if/when she does find out.
You are RIDICULOUSLY ENTERTAINING and always very informative! You actually have me believing, "Yeah, I can build that! I got tools, wood, and absolutely NO TIME....LOLOLOL" One day I'll get some of that last one. Meanwhile, I'll keep listening to you while I drive for great laughs and information. 😊😊
Thank you for sharing! I am sure your wife Loved the chair.
Amazing chair build! I need to take some chairs apart and make a new one right away 😁.
very much enjoying the content lots detail and your humor tops it off. Im quite surprised the original chair was standing.
Love it
@ 27:56 I was saying to myself, “I’d just flip the pieces over and let ‘em stand on the arm rests.” Then they fell over.
Using the handscrew wood clamps worked well. 👍🏼
I was so happy to see this notification this morning😁
Good job sir congratulations.
Dude when you used the sugar you totally missed your chance to say “it worked out pretty sweet”! Haha love your stuff!!
Really nice chair! This is the kind of thing I would do if I had a woodshop, and time, and money... I feel like the only thing wrong with this build is you didn't build a pair! Every good chair deserves the company of another identical chair.
My thoughts exactly, but then he would have need to replicate de cushions.
@@YurievOlmos Nah, they can just get different cushions made and have a matching but not matchy set!
Yes , I want to see TH-camrs make sets.I’ve been hassling black tail to make chairs to go with his epoxy tables
I have this same chair which I recently replied a few joints. Mine does not have the myriad of random screws all over. I have been considering making a matching or closely designed counterpart to it. Thanks for the inspiration.
beautiful👌
Dont forget to have a good day. Legend
Great video! Best line..."you can just use a dowel jig quit whining"
I was waiting for the wife to comment! Great chair by the way.
Great project saw you uploaded and was hoping for a tree house video but this will do
lulz - loved the outro of the intro XD spot on bud, spot on!
Happy birthday to me. This is something I need to build.
I know you're going to get comments about the domino joinery, and most deal with those who don't have one. That being said, I would suggest if you do another chair, use a stronger joint for the rails and legs, but feel free to use dominos wherever load isn't being transferred downward. The sideways stress on those parts that transfer downward force is the most common reason for failure on chairs. Mortise and tenon joints with a perpendicular peg to keep the joint tight work well. Compound Japanese joinery methods are the best for maximum durability with the least wood use, but they are time consuming to do. I know Dominos are similar to mortise and tenon joints and will give you a decade of service without problems in most applications. If your Dominos are cut from the same stock, it will last three times that. Their weakness is different shrinkage rates from the stock material over time, so using the same wood and moisture content reduces that problem, as does good finishing and sealing. Consider this food for thought, Jason. What you built is still better than 95% of modern furniture. I'm just very old-school, having apprenticed with my grandpa, who was born in 1901 and was a shipwright for 15 years.
At the end of day the Domino joints used are just floating tenons and are perpendicular grain. I can’t imagine they will stay together perfectly flush for more than a couple years with seasonal changes.
I definitely see what you mean about dominos not being strong but would that make any difference since used black walnut.
Stop making things that don’t break, every generation needs to build and if things don’t wear out they’ll be on their phones forever
Well written comment!
Excellent pro tips! I worked at KPFF Structural Engineering for a bit and you're right on. At least if you're looking to make a chair that'll last a hundred years or more. Or strong enough that even Poppa can use it. He's 6'4" and over 300 lbs.
Thought I'd mention too, the rope on the bottom seat is used to create more comfort. Actually it's generally a very strong webbing strap that's woven. This creates a seat that responds to the user's personal form for greater comfort. Modern technology has created foam cushions far superior to previous generations so your cushion might be enough to compensate for the harder seat bottom. Just be sure to keep it in mind when it's time for new cushions.
Great job BTW. Very sexy chair. Now I have to go read up on japanese joinery techniques 😅
I like this build bc I have this exact chair. And I’m sure it’s mahogany. And my leather straps under shot so this inspired me to rebuild it. X2 of course.
Hola! 🖐What a great project and I really enjoyed the video as well. So cool that you deconstructed that "antique" and was able to build the "next generation", it looks really really good.🤩 I hope you have plans for that material you were able to salvage from that antique, I think that would be a good video. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
My kitchen table, the chairs around it, and my bar chairs were all rebuilds of existing furniture. Retail value is approximately $2100.
I think I’ve got 200….ish invested in finishes and hardware that I used to refurbish them.
Oh and I type that while looking at my coffee table (not name brand, rather cheap), but I managed to fix some damage to is and give it an entire new look and all I used was a router, a jigsaw, and some finish.
Refurb is the way to go if your skill set isn’t there yet or if you can’t handle the current market value of wood.
This video is the "yo dawg... I heard you like [thing]... so I got a [thing] for your [thing] to make your [thing] with" meme. :) Buy a template chair to make templates for your templates, and then clamp your clamp on it for gluing!!
Really cool video, love seeing these as they inspire a lot of ideas!! :)
Beautiful chair! And love to see you use the domino! 😂
Easy way to center slats. Divide length by number of slats + 1. Example 5 slats, 21” length would be 21” divided by 6 = 3.5”.
