I was lucky enough to be around some of these as they were built at UT Austin's School of Architecture. Victoria's chair is designed to accommodate her perfectly, and she knew cork was a traditional flooring material. Mr. Chen's piece used large vacuum bags and foam formwork to accomplish the shape.
I love that there are female woodworkers out there that are so talented and artistic. Thanks so much for letting us get to view these shows. Beautiful pieces. Be safe!🌲🌳😷
Wow it was so cool to recognize my great grandpa's planes!! Last display right as you mention German heritage. My great grandpa was a wagon builder from Germany. I inherited his wood planes and am restoring them, irons are sharp and I am working on the soles. I fully intend to use them. I also got his radius plane. New to the channel but you have changed my life with the knowledge.
Thanks for sharing! I didn’t get a chance to go this year, enjoyed seeing the pieces. My two favorites were the Rocker and the small stand with that wild top so beautiful. 👍🇺🇸
You talked about inspiration. You sir are an inspiration to me! I am very thankful for each and everyone of your videos. :) See you on the road some day.
Mind blowing, beautiful pieces. Thanks Shawn for sharing and making the effort, really appreciate it as always. Respect and Regards from a million miles away (pakistan)
I can't thank you enough for this Shawn . I am English but live in Britain Columbia now . They are not big on woodworking here . Strange considering it's their number one export . WOOD
Thanks for providing a tour of the truly inspiring craftsmanship at the show. And like you, I gotta wonder just how much steam was applied to that plywood table to get those bends (at least that’s my guess).
as far as "the garden bench" Yeah, I'm no fan of live edge either. There's always a story behind it though isn't there? That bench is one out of eleven created from a live oak tree my neighbor cut down. I had just purchased my bandsaw sawmill and it was the first tree I had sawn on it. that was in 2008. there was not so much "live edge" present in 2008 and to me, that's what that tree wanted to be. so, there's that. I appreciate your noticing of the angles and execution in the lines on the bench. Please note, it was not part of the show but for sale in the gift shop so it might be there for a bit longer.
Maybe that plywood table is multiple thinner layers of plywood laminated together to get that appearance of a thicker piece of plywood? 19:34 Those really thick laminated pieces are really cool!
was thinking they started with the stack of veneers for the plywood, made the cuts for the "legs" that would fold down, flat glued the veneers to make the table top, leaving the leg portions un-glued. then after the top was dry, bend and glue the legs portions against forms for their shape.
@@wortheffort Oh ok, thanks... I have been rebuilding my house. It was totally under water from Harvey. So this year is not an option ... Thanks for the reply!!!
Nice maybe some year I will go. It is about 2 hours one way from me. Could make a weekend of it. There is a haunted hotel there I have wanted to stay at so I could get two birds with one stone. :) I have heard there are many other reportedly haunted places in Kerrville as well. :D Thanks for sharing this video. My son wants to make a band organ out of wood (and other bits of course) but would they consider that furniture? I do tables so obviously my things would be considered furniture. Maybe he can make his band organ have a dual function like storage or something. :P - Heidi
Hey I have an old friend Tomas and his wife run a computer repair shop. I worked with both of them in Colorado Springs at Compaq and HP. If by chance you run into them tell them I said hello.
Some of this stuff is so extraordinarily beautiful, and then other stuff is like modern art and in my opinion is no better than average woodworking. Is modern art making it's way into woodworking?
Of course, and why not! It’s not your thing, but it’s still art and furniture combined. Mid-century modern furniture design and art deco furniture design weren’t so long ago.
Thank you so much for visiting the show again this year! You are welcome here anytime and I would like to invite you to enter the show, too!

Love the channel. I felt like I was there. One of my favorite episodes truly appreciating the arts we all aspire to.
Awesome video, thanks for the tour!

Man, this is fantastic.... thank you very much for sharing it with us
This was just great. Your explanation of great craftsmanship was awesome. Thank you.
Consideration of grain is something you do so well, it shows in all your pieces. Beautiful.
Loved the video. For a man stuck in isolation, I thank you.
Thanks for sharing! I didn’t get a chance to go this year, enjoyed seeing the pieces. My two favorites were the Rocker and the small stand with that wild top so beautiful. 👍🇺🇸
You mentioned German presence in Texas. That reminded of the accordion. I read an article about that. Crafts and music once again universal language.
Thank you shawn. I really love that plywood table. Would love to see the process of building that. It could inspire so many unique designs.
That rocking chair is fire.
One day in the distant future I will be able to make a chair 1/2 as pretty.
You talked about inspiration. You sir are an inspiration to me! I am very thankful for each and everyone of your videos. :) See you on the road some day.
Never compliment another mans butt crease! 😆👍 great video
Shawn, thanks so much for taking the time to share this. It's such an inspiration even I don't understand how they achieved the finished product.
Thanks for reviewing the show! It is on every year and always has some great ideas, well executed. I hope to be there next year and see you all.
Mind blowing, beautiful pieces. Thanks Shawn for sharing and making the effort, really appreciate it as always. Respect and Regards from a million miles away (pakistan)
Thanks for doing this again this year!
Thank you. I wish there were shows as good as this on the west coast.
Thank you for sharing this with us, it is always more fun to go through a show with someone who truly appreciates the work
I can't thank you enough for this Shawn . I am English but live in Britain Columbia now . They are not big on woodworking here . Strange considering it's their number one export . WOOD
The plywood table is beautifully architectural. I can see it built as a building in Kerrville!
Another great inspirational video. I appreciate your extra effort this year to attend the show. Thanks for sharing.
Shawn, thanks for the road trip. I had forgotten about the great Kerrville show. I try to make it every year, and you saved me a trip.
Let's blow this video up! Thank you Shawn!

Really do appreciate you showing this to me I really liked it
Thanks for the tour, hats off to the Texans how made those pieces of furniture or should I say art ?.
Thanks for this and all you do! So many unspoken lessons and ideas shown here that come from outside the box.
Thanks for the tour I Love IT
Very cool. Makes me want to up my game.... thanks for showing it off
Thanks for the tour
Thanks for the video, I enjoy these and get to learn new stuff.
Really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing

Stay safe and healthy! You rock.
Thanks. A lot.
Texas star tables are so pretty
Awesome Pieces!!! Thank You Sir!!! 😲🤔👍😎
really nice video! I really enjoyed hearing your analysis!
Wooow this will give me something in what to think about
Lovely, thanks Shaun!
That plywood table, im thinking it was cut then steamed and pressed on a jig somehow. Very impressive.
Steam would delaminates it.
@@wortheffort good point. Well, if you do find out, make a video 👍😆
Great day out had by all I think! Thanks for that. Can't wait for your next stream - Maybe bend some plywood yeah? stay safe. x
Eheh, missed an opportunity to say Worth the Effort in the intro. :p
Wish I had known about this event. Maybe next year I can make it....
Still open for a few weeks.

Ya, it's about 2 1/2 hour drive for me to get there. They've featured some pretty out there pieces in the past.
Great looking furniture
Amazing

As of now, six soulless non-makers disliked this video.
That thing you're looking at at 5:17 is vintage midieval female armor. Holes for business, teeth to discourage invaders!
Tnx for the show
thanks
