I had the BEST time creating this chair and the adventure at Jimmy Diresta's farm was even better. I hope you found this video helpful and I appreciate all your comments and questions. Chris
Chop With Chris why you comment 6 days ago and why i get the notification 7 minute ago
He probably had it created and was sitting on it, it was probably set to private.
Adirondack chairs are the King of chairs.
No doubt!
Very unique!!! Looks amazing from the natural beauty from the drift wood.
+Sonant Knave Thank you. I'm very happy how it turned out.
That's some great stuff, many years ago I sat in some big redwood chairs like that and they were the most comfortable chairs ever.
+woodturningjohn 👍🏻
You're an inspiration. Great video.
+Mack Wood Well thank you very much.
That is AMAZING.....
Thanks!
killer piece Chris!
+Jackman Works Thanks
Looks right at home here in NY. Thanks for the great video, "Follow the Wood" would make a great T-shirt.
I need to get some made!
What a amazing job Chris. Just so cool and talking about making something from nothing. The joinery is so wild how you made each one custom.
+Thom spillane Thanks. I really enjoyed this project.
Awesome as always!!!
+Ultimate Estonia Music Mixer Thanks!
Well done!
+Woodnerd thanks
great fun, nice one.
+Thomas Dixon Thanks.
Fun video. Thank you for sharing your skill and humor. Fantastic result too.
Thanks!
For a man with no formal training, your videos are lessens for us all in becoming better wood workers.
Your stuff is alway amazing and even better to watch as you build them 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
+theduck Well thank you very much!
Великолепно!!!! Молодец!!!! Красота!!!!! Лепота!!!!
Благодарю вас!
nice job Chris turned out awesome
+Opa's Workshop Thanks

Nice work....very inspiring. I'm ready to go find some drift wood. My ex-wife used to "follow the wood", it just wasn't always mine....SMH....lol
+livinlifefishin thanks and good luck.
Good job Chris, looks good
+Toby Lancaster Thanks
Hey Chris - This is one of my favorite videos on you tube. I've been working with driftwood for about 25 years on and off and have built all kinds of things with it. Now I mostly build picture frames. I never really thought about shooting a video until I saw this one. I shot my first video about 3 months ago after watching this with my Dad and wanted to let you know that this video helped inspire me to get started. I'm a power tool user and think its awesome that you only use hand tools but mostly what I'm inspired about is your approach to woodworking and your style of making videos. Great job on the chair!
+scott oconnor Wow! Thanks so much. You made my day. I'd love to see the video. Please send me the link.
Dam I want one now Chris.Great job
+Franks DIY Thanks!
Congratulation!! From Sicily..
+santi sciotto Grazie!

+Günter Schöne Thanks
well done 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
+MAJEED MARDAK Thanks
Dude, congratulations. What a serious milestone! I am so proud of ya and inspired!
+Will Merritt Thanks my friend.
Came from Diresta's video, subbed for the great craftsmanship. Love the old school no power tools touch.
Welcome and thanks!
now i know what to do with my driftwood collection, make a tiny version of this chair.
Good luck!
and nice chair i think its very cool
+wessel bolt thanks
Well done Chris, this looks like the wood version of the game of thrones iron throne. All you need now is a cup holder and some foam to make it more comfortable and you are good to go :).
Thanks. This would look good in GOT!
Chris, I love each of your videos. The creation and imagination that goes into each one is just mesmerizing to watch. Most of my tools have cords :) but I love to watch you do what you do.
+paul kelly Thank you so much!
This is Awesome. I want a T-shirt. And I think it should say I'm following the wood on the back with your chair on the front.
+Creative wood worker Great idea
With arms like that no need for a chainsaw.Nice work.
Ha ha ha! Thanks!
I just learned so much I'm gonna explode. This is awesome and just the info and inspiration I was searching for. You're a wild dude, Chris! Your work is remarkable.
Thanks!
cool video
Thanks - it was a fun build
i cant wait for the new crosbow build
+wessel bolt Likely in the winter
This has to be the coolest chair I have ever seen. Definitely reminds me of the Iron Throne from Game Of Thrones. I loved how you used non electrical equipment. I've done a few decorative frames from pallet wood but nothing like this. Inspired.
+Josh Gomez I just Ned to add some swords! Thanks.
+Josh Gomez I just Ned to add some swords! Thanks.
Awesome video again.... Keep goin buddy....
Thanks my friend
Hey Chris, man what a great idea for a chair build. Turned out AWESOME. Thanks for sharing with us it was very enjoyable to set and watch everything you did to put it together.Fred.
Thanks!
Wow! No telling how many people saw all that wood and not a one had a single idea.
+notatechie Thanks.
bro I just found you and I also love making things out of stuff people would just throw away great video and great idea on using drift wood you have some real talent my friend ill be looking at more of your videos great job and hope you keep up the great work
Thanks and welcome.
Awesome video, but watching it go to Jimmy Diresta was like watching a crossover episode of two great shows, like Batman and Robin on Scooby-Doo!
Great ending
+2ndHandHobby As a big Scooby Doo fan I'll take that as a compliment.
Как в игре престолов) Хорошо)
Согласен! Благодарю.
You deserve really more subs and likes !
+Honoré Dubreil All in due time.
This reminds me of the Geme of Thrones throne!
And I don't even watch it! :D
+aspe121 It would look perfect on the set!
You are a awesome dude my friend good job bro :)
+TJ'S WOODWORKING SHOP Thanks. Saw you email. Working on it.
No problem bro it's all good my friend God Bless :)
You need to post a video on making those sawhorses.
👍🏻
great video I have a suggestion for you can you show us how to build a chair whit green wood and take your tools in the bush and builde there your chair or other furniture just a suggestion greetings from Luxembourg
Thanks. I did make a chair with a fresh cut green stump - the video is called - How To Build A Rocking Chair. Check it out. Chris
Chris, you are great! I love watching your videos, even though they make me realize that I can do all of that too, except I am exceptionally lazy.
One word of warning, Harry Reid, the former Speaker of the House, lost his eye with an exercise band. Be VERY careful with those!
I thought he fell on a treadmill.
Chop With Chris www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/10/10/the-long-strange-saga-of-harry-reid-and-the-exercise-band/?.84cc085931b8
looks like I was wrong, it broke and he fell.
I have had them snap on me while exercising, which lead to some fairly painful impacts to my wedding area.
caution!
Ouch!!!
Nicely done. Never thought to pick up any of the driftwood from the banks. I see it all the time from my office up the street. Did you get a crowd when you set up on Fountain Square?
+Phil Smith I got there very early to avoid the crowds but several people did sit in the chair.
Holy shit, hand sawn!
How else would it be done?
Follow the wood, I can't agree more
👍🏻
Hey Chris great video! I really don't know if you rember me but I wanted to start wood working a while back and still have not done anything like you but i just started wood carving (yes carving not crafting or anything) but great day! Once again amazing build :)
+schooliscoolx Always good to start small and work your way up.
Hey Chris, I am a brand new subscriber and just stumbled upon this Adirondack chair video. Impressive skills and creativity. You said you don't have "formal training," how or where did you get your informal (?) woodworking skills? Also, how did you come upon such an impressive assortment of quality woodworking hand tools? Keep up the good work. I look forward to sampling more of your productions.
Thanks
Welcome to my channel! I never more than whittles a stick until about 10 years ago at which time I watched a video about Dick Proenneke and I’ve never been the same since. I’ve learning by doing, making mistakes, and doing some more. I collect nearly all my tools at flea markets and auctions. I have made a couple of videos on tool and wood collection. Check them out. Thanks.
The off setting you did, if it were a round peg would be called draw boring. It will DRAW the pieces tight together.
+falfas55bgas Makes sense.
So did u give it to jimmy? Lucky dog!
+Hugo Danilo Yep! It was a lot of fun!
Great project. I understand setting up down by where you found the wood, but what was the significance of setting up by the fountain?
+Paul John's Life I wanted the juxtaposition of a driftwood chair with backdrop of a modern city.
Looks really amazing! What do you use for your wrist protection? Thanks!!
Thanks. McDavid wrist straps and Mueller elbow strap.
LOOOOL 5:40
+Stefan Ravn 😄💥
Man mate now u don't have to go to any workshops to learn stuff like that u can learn it here😀😁
Exactly!
You're in Cincinnati area, I take it? I am up near Columbus, but we regularly get down to the Parkersburg, WV area. I have seen driftwood along the Ohio River during walks, and considered using it for some project. Cool to see you went beyond just considering.
Give it a try!
Hey Chris, since you're using large logs stored out in the weather, can you make a video on the quality of wood, how you select and inspect for flaws, and how best to dry it to minimise cracking?
I have some beutiful white oak between 3&5 foot 12 inch thick, that has been dead for years, harvested this passed spring, with very few flaws. Just want to know your thoughts if possible.
+nunya bisnass I'll add it to the list but until then here is what to do: leave the bark on. Get the wood off the ground, and coat the ends and any exposed wood with Anchorseal.
Chop With Chris have to order the anchorseal, but thanks, and merry Christmas.
nunya bisnass I just remembered I already have a video about storing wood outdoors called. How To Find And Maintain Great Wood. Check it out.
Chop With Chris lol. Things that slip your mind. Will do, thanks for being so attentive.
that chair looks mammoth!! so awesome. is that the same one you brought to Jimmy diresta it's tough Chris as always and happy holidays
+Joe basementwoodworking Yep and thanks. The same to you.
Chop With Chris I bet Jimmy is happy I know I sure as hell would be I wish I could build stuff like that man and thanks
+Joe basementwoodworking Just give it s try
Great build but why did you make so many square mortises, things in nature are not square but round and they still work to hold things together. You are lucky to be able to find so much driftwood, it makes a beautiful chair.
+John Fithian-Franks Squares are simple.
Chris! Are you in the Cincinnati area or did you grab that wood at WIA in September? I'm right in the area.
Nearby - yes
Chop With Chris did not realize you may live close by, thanks for all the videos, they do inspire.
+Sagern234 You are most welcome.
I had the same epiphany when I saw the bridges as well. Holy shit, one of my favorite channels is right in my area!
you is my teacher
Thank you!
Chris, you look really familiar and the part of the OH river you pulled this wood from is a block from my office. You don't happen to work for the big electric utility at 4th & Main do you?
+Jeremy Pate Nope. 😄
how did you get rid of bugs in wood?
+Nouser Unrecognizable Good question - the wood had been sitting in the sun for 4 weeks and it was dry as a bone. Also, I inspected it before I brought it into my house.
Hey Chris, I notice those black bands, just on your wrist and I'd like to know what are they and if they help with wrist pains. Thanks!
+Berzelus For wrist pain.
Do you have a brand name, or just any type of sports wrist bands will do the job?
+Berzelus I'll check
Thanks!
McDavid
Can you make a wooden tobacco pipe?
I actually have some briar root to make one but its going to be a while before its fully dried out.
FUUUUUUUUUUNTASTIC.
+Darikson NoNameson 👍🏻
Isn't the respiratory a little overkill for outdoor woodworking with hand tools?
+Ben Yes but that wood had been sitting in river water and I was not sure what had leached into it
Very good point, I completely agree now. Awesome work as always.
How long did this take you to make.?
It’s not how long it takes it’s how much weight do I lose building it!
Follow the wood. That's what she said.
+Victor Stanwick I get that a lot.
How much could you sell this for?
No idea. It was a gift for a friend.
That is amazing, creative and shows you are very smart ... but that is one ugly chair though! ;-) I am glad I watched the video though, thanks.
PS. Love the sound effects and the speed motion stuff.
+justgivemethetruth I like think of it as "rustic" :)
It does have a certain charm.
reupload?
+Elee90 I uploaded last week and made it public today
Is that just faith at 9:45 that is wan't going to collapse??? If you test had failed you weren't in a very good place (up ontop of your workbench) if it had.
+Chris Moewes-Bystrom FAITH!!! And stupidity!
That's some great stuff, many years ago I sat in some big redwood chairs like that and they were the most comfortable chairs ever.
Thanks - This one is very comfortable as well.
