I love that you show us the entire process, including the mistakes you made. It's so encouraging to see a woman doing the stuff you do, I love wood working too :)
Check out garage sales and Facebook marketplace. You can pick up inexpensively a circular saw and a drill. Like $60 combined. There are a lot of projects you can make with just those. Also a large rafter square will help you make square cuts. They're fairly inexpensive at your local big box store. Also also. If you hit up the goodwill auction site and filter by your local pickup site you can sometimes get a random lot of generic tools for almost nothing.
As others have said, you dont actually need all that many or expensive tools to get started, and in fact you can do some very advanced projects with just a few basic tools like a few chisels, a hand plane, a drill, and either a jig saw, circular saw or even some reasonable hand saws like the japanese style pull-saws. It depends very much on what you want to build, different projects can require different tools, but you can get very far with the basics :) A nice router is always nice to have, I have the corded version of the Makita that Tamar is using, and it is great, but a bit pricey, a cheap one (~50 USD) get you very far. I started collecting tools when I was a few years younger than you, it can be great fun and can easily get a bit expensive :) Good luck and hope you take up woodworking!
Thank you all so much for all the tips and advices! I actually live in Mexico where it’s a little bit expensive to get wood and tools. And also the comment was meant that I don’t actually have an interest in building things myself but Tamar’s videos are so relaxing and her vibes are so sweet that I’ve been hooked to her channel even though I don’t do things like that. But again thank y’all for taking the time to comment and be willing to help others!
You are an amazing woman. I have been watching your channel for about a year. I love watching how fearless you are at tackling new challenges in front of us. You are an inspiration for all (even a 67 year old retiree) of us. Thank-you.
I was feeling I was going overboard and a little crazy with the project I worked on today and then I sit down and turn this on and you're like routing the inside of a U shaped pile of plywood while climbing on your workbench. I love this whole thing.
Just wanted to say thanks for all you've done on the channel, actually learning a ton from you. I've done some woodworking in the past and carpentry, but want to get into more furniture making, and you've been a huge wealth of knowledge. So thanks for all you're doing!
First time watching one of your videos. I am not a beginning woodworker but definitely not a pro. I love that you show the struggle and nervousness I encounter when attempting a new technique. Not many content creators will do that. Having a project close to finished and having to make a critical cut is one of the most nerve-racking things one can experience! Thanks and I'lm looking forward to watching your other videos.
Great job Tamar. You’re always pushing yourself. New techniques. Yes, scary but it usually works out. I love how you share your journeys through these new projects. You’re so talented
This is unbelievably gorgeous! Tamar! You are the WOMAN! When you put the chair in the corner along with your other furniture art, was a chef’s kiss moment! Damn! This is inspiring! Thank you for sharing! And I would love to purchase this chair ASAP!😍
I recently found your channel and have literally binged watched so many of your videos! They are so interesting and the fact that you show how to do each step and the way your solve your problems is just Amazing 💕
There is nothing like that feeling you get when you step outside of your comfort zone and then have success. I love your content for that reason. I can feel your frustrations and then get to revel in your triumphs! You are growing by leaps and bounds and I hope to do the same as I venture back into the world of cabinet and furniture making that I used to belong to.
With a form that shape, I would try some 2x4 shims under the straps to push the plywood into the form. Hindsight is 20/20 though, and you did an INCREDIBLE job with this. I have aspergers and I'm prone to panic and anxiety and dealing with that glue up, the veneer.. oh my god. You are truly an enlightened human being for not just burning the workshop down and running away like a crazed animal frothing from the mouth screaming... because I would have done that exact series of actions and more. But I'll just continue to watch and share my unsolicited advice to someone much more skilled than I am... like a good TH-cam viewer should!
I was thinking along the same lines. 2x4 seems like more than necessary. 1x2 might be fine. But probably put some thin padding between the caul and the plywood or veneer. (Like the router pad that's to keep pieces from slipping while routing.)
I am very impressed by your bold and confident attitude, thinking about your comment about this being your third Shaper Origin use. I have most of the same tools, but am completely humbled by your tenacity and flexibility in the face of adversity. I found this searching for bent plywood techniques, thinking of the pretzel chair, and I was entertained and educated thanks to your efforts. My personal experience is that I acquire the skill set I needed at the beginning of a new project by the end of the same project. I see a little of that going on.
All & all you worked through the process. Every project you learn something. For curved work a vacuum bag makes the difference. Just make sure the forms you build that go in a bag are stout so there is no chance of collapsing. Shaper Origin is a great tool addition to the shop. As you know, it will help with templates, cutting irregular shapes, engraving etc. Allows you to up your game. Love your willingness to try things you've never done as well as your enthusiasm. Keep making Tamar!
Fantastic again! Please don’t ever change what you are doing for videos. I love the way I learn by watching you learn. Most other youtube woodworkers like to teach and appear superior. Your learning as you go is far superior and leaves me in awe! Loved the use of the template at the end to round the corners, but I was sure you were going to get crazy with the shaper to make a fancy shape for the arms.
As I watched there were a number of thing I wanted to comment on. I kept watching, you addressed almost all of them. You are really learning a lot and achieving great skills. The one thing to really complicate your build is I think chairs need a slight pitch on the seat to be comfortable, but with a nice cushion it will be comfortable. I have so much fun watching your videos please keep them coming.
Thank you so much for showing all your creativity and mistakes and ingenuity and skill all in one place. Your videos are fascinating not only to me, but to my teenage daughter who sees that a creative streak can be applied to woodworking...even for a woman. Too many of the videos and articles that I show her are men who, while talented, don't give her a good enough role model to explore traditionally "manly" things. Thanks to videos like yours, not only can she see a full process from idea to implementation, but she sees that she can have every expectation to be in "my space" in the garage making cool things.

Thanks for the video. Worked 19 years in a wood furniture plant. My last 8 years was with bent veneer forms. From what you where doing for a 1 to 4 production is good, one suggestion is put your good veneer down first then the bendy plywood. When you go to making a inner and outer form that will take some calculations. Even with the massive forms we used the outer form has to be a little bit smaller then the total thickness of the veneer being formed. The inner form should be taller then the outer form so you can leverage the inner form down into the outer form. Place all the veneer that will be bent on the outer form then start pressing the inner form down. We used a 10 ton press for this part, then cooked the glue with RF till it was dry. You have time to let the glue cure so much cheaper. We also had to take into account spring back of the veneer. We used thick birch veneer. You may not have this problem because of the bendy plywood. Was thinking when watching the video that when you released if from the mold it would open up more then it did. Good luck and have fun. If you need to ask me more questions about this, Will see what I can remember about all this.
Just casually drop "I've made *shields* for years... " with no further elaboration. Cool. Cool cool cool. I'm not insanely curious or anything. I'm fine, it's fine. That's fine. Modern dude making wooden shields. Perfectly normal. ;D
Thank you for the explanation of the shaper tool. I have seen it used before, but you are the first to explain how it works. Enjoy your channel very much.
What a happy moment when that seat slid into the dado so perfectly! Congrats on completion of a tough build. And I really appreciate that short section using the sandpaper-backed straight edge and veneer saw to rip long cuts without the potential problem of a knife that gets caught in the grain and goes askew of the very long straight line you needed.
I enjoy your videos. I enjoy how when you make a mistake, you leave it in your recording. I'm not a woodworker but I enjoy watching videos. Your projects come out great all the time. Continue to inspire young girls to create with their hands.
Wheew..another awesome project of Tamar..I am just a newbie in woodworking and still lack a lot of tools..but as I watch your videos and the others..the desire is burning..THANKS A LOT FOR SHARING..
Very cool! I’m watching videos on this process because I want to build large floor standing speakers and use curved sides instead of a boring rectangle cabinet. I got excited when you said bendable plywood chair because my mind immediately went to the Eames chair. You should make one of those!
I so enjoy your videos. You always show the good, the bad and the sometimes oh crap moments. The chair turned out lovely. I like listening to your explanations as you go along. You have the sweetest smile. Look forward to your next project.
that underside would be a great space for a slide in ottoman thing. bonus points for making it a box for blankies and cushions. maybe lined with cedar if you like that stuff? great looking chair! you’ve got loads more talent than I do at this stuff.
Very cool chair. Amazing how something that looks so simple can be so much work! I like how you go through the design considerations and changes you make as you progress through the project.
I always enjoy your videos... I always were that smile, and the sparkle in your eyes show your passion for your work. Nice chair... great video. Keep them coming...
I love your honesty when you change plans. I use to do that a lot of the time. Now I do not do that very often any more. I am 74yrs an can’t Stan any longer then 2 mins my back can’t take it.
Just love the way you put these methods across Tamar.... your style make learning joinery fun and cuts through the usual nonsense... just keep making these inspirational videos...
Interesting design. I'm thinking to utilize thinner regular plywood, says 2 or 3mm laminated several layer to get same effect of bendable plywood. Because in my area, those kind ply is hard to get. Great video!
Another well done project. I would suggest cutting the inner two bendable plies to leave the 3/4 space for the seat before laminating them. Thus eliminating the need to route a dado.
Uneven floors are the absolute enemy of a project like this, because any wobble will make people doubt your skills as a maker, and not the floor. I think it would be cool if you cut the bottom with a rounded shape so that the front and back make a sort of tripod which will sit even no matter what. It's hard to describe what I mean, but a shallow curve from about an inch from the front, cut until about an inch or two from "the back" making two feet up front and one wide foot at the back. Anyway, my point is that this technique can make a ton of different interesting designs and you can modify this "simple" bend in infinite ways to make as many cool different chairs as you can imagine!
That 'Shaper' is awesome and I need one!! I don't have the space for a big CNC in my shop (have wayy too many tools and junk in the way) but something like that would most definitely get a ton of use!! Thanks for sharing!
If only you could bottle your enthusiasm & energy you put into your build + vids. you'd be worth a small fortune . I get worn out just sitting here watching. . lol Thks from the UK
Glad to hear about your continued interest in guitar. Your great guitar build off entry from last year was my favorite by far. Hope to see more instrument builds!
I’m home on leave and stumbled on UR channel and just had to tell ya that UR one TALENTED WOMAN. A pleasantly chatty but I understood everything U were saying a very good teacher keep up the great work 🙌🙌🙌❤️
As always, a very nice job, it is a lot of fun to watch you on the projects. I wish you many more ideas. I'm looking forward to your new project. Warm greetings from Germany.🙋♂️
good to see that bendable ply did come in use after all. Awesome job !!! tip: when you did the internal veneer add a blanket in between the mould and the work piece, it will put pressure on places where there wasn't
What a great project! The pure joy u express while building really gives ur videos an awesome vibe. I am always looking forward to your videos! Greetings from Germany!
This is a cool project. A tip that I learned doing bent lamination is to put cork on your form, it helps fill those small voids and create even pressure. I found big pieces at Joan fabrics. I like how you did the groove/dado, and compensated for the depth, i was really curious how you were going to do that. Thanks for sharing!
Hi 3X3 = 9 , I enjoyed watching your territorial on making a tub chair I have made things similar to this many years ago as I am now retired approaching 70. It might be a good idea to cut out the bottom of the chair So you potentially have three areas that stand on the floor, 2 at the front and 1 at the back, if the floor is uneven it will not sit properly it will rock. You mentioned a word called vacuum press , These are very good I have still got mine from many years ago from from making Up very large panels how to plywood to get them strength. I used to use a vacuum bag because you can put something in it and it will compress in all directions. Going back to your chair where I said it would rock on the ground this might be another project for you making a rocking chair Doing the similar process of making a former then laminate plywood over it and then put it into a Vac bag or Vac press, you just need to be careful because any glue that is protruding out the side will be very sharp like a razor, I know this for a fact because I slashed my hand open when I put my hand inside the bag to track out a panel that I laminate it up overnight as I grab the panel the glue sticking out the side was razor sharp but as I pulled the panel my hand slipped along it because I had not relieved it properly from the bag. Another way of bending something is steam bending but a lot of people do not know that you can steam bend something inside a plastic bag you can form it was it is still in the bag onto your shape and leave it in the bag under steam pressure for quite a few hours two or three before switching the steam off And leave it for 24 hours before taking off your Jig. Keep up the good work stay safe always wear a mask when you’re sounding and be careful of kickbacks of a saw bench, Phil from the moulin France
First of all, this is a really cool looking chair! Second, great display of a variety of techniques here with a lot of potential applications. All-over a great video! Thanks for sharing!
Great job as usual. I love that you always try something new and find a way to get it done. With the benefit of hindsight, I wonder if the easiest way to make the dado is to add the inner lamination in two pieces, carefully spaced. That routing looked nerve-wracking.
That chair should be in a museum!!! And that new toy you got to play with... *drool* Gonna have to check out that guitar book, too. I’ve been playing for years (very mediocre I might add) and that book sounds very interesting. Would love to eventually make a guitar of my own.
Thanks so much! Yeah I’ve been playing for years too and I still just don’t feel like I fully understand music and the fretboard. I will get it one day! 🤘
Aloha Tamar! It is fun watching you solve the different challenges as you go through the steps of your projects. Your groove/slot/channel/dado question is probably a tomato/tomauto situation because it is all of the above, you are using plywood and not solid lumber.😁 I have made radius tables for routers and laminate trimmers to cut inside curves. All you need is a block of wood or nylon and basically make a rounded attachment for your tool, so you don't have to change the depth of the tool. A simple 1x4 or 2x4 block with beveled edges all the way to fully rounded will reduce your contact surface to just what you need. Remember when rounded wall corners became a thing some 30+ years ago? Lol. Finish carpenters were struggling with how to radius a 45 corner inside cabinets, stairwells, and finish trim. The small base trim routers were a huge benefit, but square edges and round corners were still a problem, so I made a dome with one straight side and screwed it to my trimmer. You will obviously need a longer shaft bit for full depth cuts, but curves will no longer be a problem. You may even be able to find different types of attachments today. Looking forward to your next idea. Great job!👍
@@3x3CustomTamar If you leave about an inch of flat around the cutter and round it from that point it's actually pretty stable for short distance flat surfaces. Definitely more stable than the dodgy passes you made and had to clean out after. Lol. I have done far worse!😆😅🤣😂 Most of the time I would use two trimmers, one round and one flat, and just switch after the transition. You like projects, make a round base with a leading edge and drill two holes parallel with the table and leading edge, cut two dowels (or a large tenon) about 6 inches long with flat feet on them for extension skis and your round base becomes a flat surface tool again by sliding the skis in, now you have another tool kit to go with the router jigs and straight edge kits. I never made one because as a builder things need to be fast and efficient, but this tool is a perfect fit in the craft/furniture/project shop like the things you make. You could even make an accessory kit for edge handle cups, finger holes, and whatever ideas come to mind. I imagine there is probably some kind of kit out there already by now because I thought of it back in the 80s. Hahaha.
I always learn a whole lot of stuff at your carpentry shop, also love your amazing jigle saw that only uses battery brand dewalt... I do not think would be able to have one for the time being,but appreciate to see it you used it...thank you beautiful lady...Greetings from mexico,coatzacoalcos,veracruz.😀😀😀🤗🤗🤗
Wow! I'm completely blown away at how awesome that came out. The milk green paint on the edges definitely made it pop more in my opinion. Thanks for sharing Tamar! Kick ass!
you make this all seem so easy and doable but given i dont have a single one of those tools you used it defiantly isn't for me. I did love seeing you use butternut, i didn't know this wood existed two weeks ago, only just found out about it and am in love.
Excellent work. I like your approach. The chair has a similarity to an Orkney (Scotland) hooded chair designed to keep cold droughts reaching your back.
As always great video, and brave of you to try form work. In the UK we call the two types of bendy ply long grain & short grain, as apposed to barrel wrap & column wrap. Also, you mentioned that you are thinking of getting a bag press, this will not only help you with your veneering, but it can also help you with the form work projects too. One last note on this video, the audio wasn't as clear & crisp as it usually is.
I love that you show us the entire process, including the mistakes you made. It's so encouraging to see a woman doing the stuff you do, I love wood working too :)
Thanks so much! Making mistakes is the only way I learn.

Very cool! I’m watching videos on this process because I want to build large floor standing speakers and use curved sides instead of a boring rectangle cabinet. I got excited when you said bendable plywood chair because my mind immediately went to the Eames chair. You should make one of those!
Too cool, great job 💕👍
Thanks!
I so enjoy your videos. You always show the good, the bad and the sometimes oh crap moments. The chair turned out lovely. I like listening to your explanations as you go along. You have the sweetest smile. Look forward to your next project.
So glad you like it. Thanks!
You're one of the very few carpenters who make woodworking videos that make you smile with satisfaction as you watch them!
Thanks! I just had a commenter say that I should stop laughing in my videos because it makes me seem less serious.... 😂😂😂 sad person
@@3x3CustomTamar Def don't do that. Come as you are, it works great!
@@Caparico 😂
@Long Fangs 😂😂😂
Oh boooy, am I seeing the GGBO design on the shaper? That's gonna be soo cool, I can't wait for that!
Haha yup!! I’m so late to the game with that. Need to get going!
Yeah, I spotted that too!
Great Video.
Great project.
Great execution.
I love to see your videos.
Brazilian guy watching your videos here.
Thank you.
Thanks!
Fantastic idea and wow-able chair build! I really like your honest presentation and comments during the build. You're my favorite "real word" maker!
So awesome to hear! Thanks!
You Ma'am are on a Different Level... That was fantastic! Your Creativity never cease's to amaze me... have a wonderful weekend Tamar.
So glad you liked it! Thanks!
So amazing!!! Gorgeous design and execution.
Seeing the seat slide in and fit as intended was so satisfying to watch. Great work on coming up with fix's for fix's.
Haha imagine actually doing it. Ha thanks!
THis is delightful, I love when you succeed and get so happy! Thanks Tamar!
Glad you like it!
Absolutely fantastic! Interesting process and marvellous result. Superb video!
Thanks so much! Glad you like it!
you wood only continue to amaze me...thank you, everything you do with wood resonates with my creative...it is stunning...
Thanks so much!
that underside would be a great space for a slide in ottoman thing. bonus points for making it a box for blankies and cushions. maybe lined with cedar if you like that stuff? great looking chair! you’ve got loads more talent than I do at this stuff.
Now I have to build that ottoman! Ha thanks’
@@3x3CustomTamar I'm sure it will be amazing!
Very cool chair. Amazing how something that looks so simple can be so much work! I like how you go through the design considerations and changes you make as you progress through the project.
Sometimes it’s the simplest things that are the hardest to achieve. Glad you liked it!
I always enjoy your videos... I always were that smile, and the sparkle in your eyes show your passion for your work. Nice chair... great video. Keep them coming...
So glad you liked it! Thanks! ☺️
You rock, Tamar! I like how your videos show how your brain works....like taking us on a ride from concept to execution. Very inspirational!!
Thanks so much! My brain is kinda crazy. Ha
Another great built...outstanding!
One of the best things is you're not afraid to show when things don't go as planned.
Thanks so much! It’s how I learn
I love your honesty when you change plans. I use to do that a lot of the time. Now I do not do that very often any more. I am 74yrs an can’t Stan any longer then 2 mins my back can’t take it.
The single line of green along the edge looks great!
Thanks!
Just love the way you put these methods across Tamar.... your style make learning joinery fun and cuts through the usual nonsense... just keep making these inspirational videos...
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
Interesting design. I'm thinking to utilize thinner regular plywood, says 2 or 3mm laminated several layer to get same effect of bendable plywood. Because in my area, those kind ply is hard to get. Great video!
Thanks’
This is just lots of fun. You did a great job. Thank you for a great video.
So glad you liked it. Thanks!
Another well done project. I would suggest cutting the inner two bendable plies to leave the 3/4 space for the seat before laminating them. Thus eliminating the need to route a dado.
Yup. If I knew I was going to use a dado as joinery to begin with. Ha
Uneven floors are the absolute enemy of a project like this, because any wobble will make people doubt your skills as a maker, and not the floor.
I think it would be cool if you cut the bottom with a rounded shape so that the front and back make a sort of tripod which will sit even no matter what.
It's hard to describe what I mean, but a shallow curve from about an inch from the front, cut until about an inch or two from "the back" making two feet up front and one wide foot at the back.
Anyway, my point is that this technique can make a ton of different interesting designs and you can modify this "simple" bend in infinite ways to make as many cool different chairs as you can imagine!
Your videos are very easy to watch and most enjoyable.
Another great project and video, I love your realness, humor and narration.
Thanks so much! Glad you like it. Ha
I love you and your inspirational style. Thanks for sharing your work. Awesome content.

So glad you like it. Thanks!
That 'Shaper' is awesome and I need one!! I don't have the space for a big CNC in my shop (have wayy too many tools and junk in the way) but something like that would most definitely get a ton of use!! Thanks for sharing!
It’s so cool
Tamar!! I'm in awe of the cool tools you have!! It helps a lot!!
Love the way you explain the difficulties and your creative process. Thanks for sharing with us.
Glad you like it! Thanks!
I love your enthusiasm and candor. Great project.
Thanks so much!
Nice to have you back. You've been missed. Thks
If only you could bottle your enthusiasm & energy you put into your build + vids. you'd be worth a small fortune . I get worn out just sitting here watching. . lol Thks from the UK
Glad to hear about your continued interest in guitar. Your great guitar build off entry from last year was my favorite by far. Hope to see more instrument builds!
Working on one right now!
Your creativity and problem solving is so inspiring. Thank you!
Awesome to hear 🤘
gorgeous! i love bucket chairs so i’m looking forward to your next one! also LOVE THE CURLIES OFF THE PLANER!!
An interesting and challenging project. Well done. Thanks!
Thanks so much! Always fun to challenge yourself
what a talented young lady keepup the good work
I’m home on leave and stumbled on UR channel and just had to tell ya that UR one TALENTED WOMAN. A pleasantly chatty but I understood everything U were saying a very good teacher keep up the great work 🙌🙌🙌❤️
Awesome to hear!
So great , many steps many difficulties and brilliant solutions. I love your videos for your projects and the most for your happy attitude.
Glad you liked it. Thanks!
As always, a very nice job, it is a lot of fun to watch you on the projects. I wish you many more ideas. I'm looking forward to your new project. Warm greetings from Germany.🙋♂️
Glad you liked it!
Didn’t expect that much engineering. Not as simple as anticipated. Kudos to u. 👏🏼
Sometimes it’s the simplest things that are the most complicated ha
good to see that bendable ply did come in use after all. Awesome job !!!
tip: when you did the internal veneer add a blanket in between the mould and the work piece, it will put pressure on places where there wasn't
Lesson learned!
What a great project! The pure joy u express while building really gives ur videos an awesome vibe. I am always looking forward to your videos!
Greetings from Germany!
Thanks so much! Appreciate that. Someone recently told me to stop laughing in my videos... 😂
Another great video, another great build and loved the "outtake reel" at the end!
Haha! Thanks so much!
Beautiful project. That shaper router thing is super slick. Cant wait to see what u do with it.
It’s so cool
This is a cool project. A tip that I learned doing bent lamination is to put cork on your form, it helps fill those small voids and create even pressure. I found big pieces at Joan fabrics. I like how you did the groove/dado, and compensated for the depth, i was really curious how you were going to do that. Thanks for sharing!
I was trying to find some squishy material that would do that. Cork is a great idea!!
Great project! I loved the end with the cut scenes - especially the bees!
😂😂😂
Hi 3X3 = 9 , I enjoyed watching your territorial on making a tub chair I have made things similar to this many years ago as I am now retired approaching 70. It might be a good idea to cut out the bottom of the chair So you potentially have three areas that stand on the floor, 2 at the front and 1 at the back, if the floor is uneven it will not sit properly it will rock. You mentioned a word called vacuum press , These are very good I have still got mine from many years ago from from making Up very large panels how to plywood to get them strength.
I used to use a vacuum bag because you can put something in it and it will compress in all directions.
Going back to your chair where I said it would rock on the ground this might be another project for you making a rocking chair Doing the similar process of making a former then laminate plywood over it and then put it into a Vac bag or Vac press, you just need to be careful because any glue that is protruding out the side will be very sharp like a razor, I know this for a fact because I slashed my hand open when I put my hand inside the bag to track out a panel that I laminate it up overnight as I grab the panel the glue sticking out the side was razor sharp but as I pulled the panel my hand slipped along it because I had not relieved it properly from the bag.
Another way of bending something is steam bending but a lot of people do not know that you can steam bend something inside a plastic bag you can form it was it is still in the bag onto your shape and leave it in the bag under steam pressure for quite a few hours two or three before switching the steam off And leave it for 24 hours before taking off your Jig. Keep up the good work stay safe always wear a mask when you’re sounding and be careful of kickbacks of a saw bench,

Absolute beautiful chair. Very inspiring
Thanks!
Love it. I might try this one for my daughter
Awesome. My daughter called this one
First of all, this is a really cool looking chair! Second, great display of a variety of techniques here with a lot of potential applications. All-over a great video! Thanks for sharing!
So glad you liked it. Thanks!!
Beautiful work. I love hearing your thinking about the design and construction process as you work. Thank you.
Awesome to hear. Glad you like it!
I really appreciate your work and the way you explain what you do. As a beginner hobby woodworker, I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you!
Awesome to hear!
Great job as usual. I love that you always try something new and find a way to get it done.
With the benefit of hindsight, I wonder if the easiest way to make the dado is to add the inner lamination in two pieces, carefully spaced. That routing looked nerve-wracking.
Thanks so much! Yeah. I thought of that after. I wasn’t sure what sort of joinery I wanted to do before doing the lamination
That chair should be in a museum!!! And that new toy you got to play with... *drool*
Gonna have to check out that guitar book, too. I’ve been playing for years (very mediocre I might add) and that book sounds very interesting. Would love to eventually make a guitar of my own.
Thanks so much! Yeah I’ve been playing for years too and I still just don’t feel like I fully understand music and the fretboard. I will get it one day! 🤘
Aloha Tamar! It is fun watching you solve the different challenges as you go through the steps of your projects. Your groove/slot/channel/dado question is probably a tomato/tomauto situation because it is all of the above, you are using plywood and not solid lumber.😁
I have made radius tables for routers and laminate trimmers to cut inside curves. All you need is a block of wood or nylon and basically make a rounded attachment for your tool, so you don't have to change the depth of the tool. A simple 1x4 or 2x4 block with beveled edges all the way to fully rounded will reduce your contact surface to just what you need. Remember when rounded wall corners became a thing some 30+ years ago? Lol. Finish carpenters were struggling with how to radius a 45 corner inside cabinets, stairwells, and finish trim. The small base trim routers were a huge benefit, but square edges and round corners were still a problem, so I made a dome with one straight side and screwed it to my trimmer. You will obviously need a longer shaft bit for full depth cuts, but curves will no longer be a problem. You may even be able to find different types of attachments today. Looking forward to your next idea. Great job!👍
Ha! Yup. I considered doing that, but that didn’t solve the flat part of the cut.
@@3x3CustomTamar If you leave about an inch of flat around the cutter and round it from that point it's actually pretty stable for short distance flat surfaces. Definitely more stable than the dodgy passes you made and had to clean out after. Lol. I have done far worse!😆😅🤣😂
Most of the time I would use two trimmers, one round and one flat, and just switch after the transition.
You like projects, make a round base with a leading edge and drill two holes parallel with the table and leading edge, cut two dowels (or a large tenon) about 6 inches long with flat feet on them for extension skis and your round base becomes a flat surface tool again by sliding the skis in, now you have another tool kit to go with the router jigs and straight edge kits. I never made one because as a builder things need to be fast and efficient, but this tool is a perfect fit in the craft/furniture/project shop like the things you make. You could even make an accessory kit for edge handle cups, finger holes, and whatever ideas come to mind. I imagine there is probably some kind of kit out there already by now because I thought of it back in the 80s. Hahaha.
Always kicking butt and taking names! Killer project Tamar!
Thanks Brian!
I always learn a whole lot of stuff at your carpentry shop, also love your amazing jigle saw that only uses battery brand dewalt... I do not think would be able to have one for the time being,but appreciate to see it you used it...thank you beautiful lady...Greetings from mexico,coatzacoalcos,veracruz.😀😀😀🤗🤗🤗
Wow! I'm completely blown away at how awesome that came out. The milk green paint on the edges definitely made it pop more in my opinion. Thanks for sharing Tamar! Kick ass!
Thanks so much! Yeah! I’m happy I decided to paint it instead of making edge banding of the same material
you make this all seem so easy and doable but given i dont have a single one of those tools you used it defiantly isn't for me. I did love seeing you use butternut, i didn't know this wood existed two weeks ago, only just found out about it and am in love.
It’s really nice stuff!
Excellent work. I like your approach. The chair has a similarity to an Orkney (Scotland) hooded chair designed to keep cold droughts reaching your back.
Interesting. Thanks!
It’s so rewarding when you can solve all the little problems that arise with a project like this. Excellent job👍
Totally agree! Thanks!
That rolling technique at 12:40 actually is quite satisfying to watch and seems quite fun
😂😂😂
you explain things very well by the way
Loved the bloopers, nice ending to an interesting project. Tripped breaker mid cut was just so... how it goes.
Haha yup!
As always great video, and brave of you to try form work. In the UK we call the two types of bendy ply long grain & short grain, as apposed to barrel wrap & column wrap. Also, you mentioned that you are thinking of getting a bag press, this will not only help you with your veneering, but it can also help you with the form work projects too.
One last note on this video, the audio wasn't as clear & crisp as it usually is.
Thanks! Yeah. Each place I contacted called it something else. And yeah. My mic was out of commission...
Girl! you're amazing!! Even when you say "its OK for me" I only can see how great it is; the entire process is amazing ... as you are!
☺️☺️
The only thing that I like better than your unique projects are your voice overs!
Awesome to hear!
Great build!
And that handheld CNC is magic!
Seriously magic. Thanks!
