Sticky and sappy, hard and dense........ reminds me of some ppl in this world that are off their rockers (or rollers) Thx for the make this week, super chair from “ waste”
The timber would be most likely meranti, sapele, or red grandis. All similar in colour and resemble mahogany. All commonly used for external joinery. Chair came out looking great 👍
I like leather a lot, and so long as it comes from animals that are already headed to the slaughterhouse I have no qualms about buying and using it. I just don't like it when animals are killed only for their hides or furs. That is a good looking chair, Keith, another success!
Tips for the upholstering. Get some buttons, and a circular cutter head. And drill some holes through the upholstering and back. Then thread the buttons and sow them through the leather pulling it tightly. You can get a great look in no time.
Keith, once again you amaze me with your ability to repurpose just about anything! Who would have thought to use an old door for a rocking chair, not many. I'm a big fan of taking a solid wood item such as the two old drafting tables I got for free and I made a solid assembly table out of them for the shop. They were made from beautiful oak which will hold up to banging and such. Market Place is my go-to for free or cheap furniture/lumber to repurpose it. I built a dust collection & compressor room off the back of my shop from recycled red cedar that someone was giving away. I spent $30. to make that room for 2 corrugated roofing panels and the specific screws that are used with that type of roofing. If I could have found old and rusty roofing panels I would have used them. I had everything else plus the free cedar. I had 2-12 ft. L pressure treated 6" x 6" leftover from another project, that I used as footings, I painted the ends that went into the ground with the same siding sealer I used on the outside boards for extra protection. I even have enough cedar leftover for a few birdhouses. I added two computer fans and a light powered by a small solar panel that was originally used for an old set of lights that died. You gave me the idea of computer fans, so thanks! I placed one on each side wall so one sucked in air and the other expelled it for a bit of air circulation. I think a lot of people don't use old furniture as a building material is due to the amount of prep to the wood that is needed before using it. I don't mind at all. I'm usually restoring old tools or tinkering at the same time, so I multi-task. Some of the woods used in older furniture and older building materials were made from wood that is very expensive to buy new. The rock maple I used in some projects all came from a one-bedroom suite of furniture. It was pretty beat up, but after running it through the jointer and planner it looked brand new. I found under a pile of old lumber that was out for trash pick-up, two beautiful 1x6x10 mahogany boards underneath the trash wood along with a couple of metal bed frames which will be re-used in some future welding project. We would have a lot less pollution and land-fill usage if others saw the potential in discarded items. Sorry for typing a novel, lol.
All in all, I'd say that is quite an impressive rocking chair Keith. Skilled or not, you've created something that not only looks comfortable but adds appeal to the bedroom as a really nice item of furniture. Great video chap
Really nicely done Keith, the design is simple yet elegant. Just shows you how a simple looking design is actually very complex in its build and people don't realise this. I totally agree as well that making a chair of any type is a challenge in itself. Thanks for taking part and supporting the challenge mate.
I've not heard of this 'recycled leather.' As a vegan, it's quite difficult to find leather alternatives in our craft sometimes. This is something interesting that is worth investigating. Thanks for the info!
I love the look of the chair and of course, I love that you used recycled materials. I wish that I could recover from my boo-boo's/mistakes as well as you do. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Stay safe.
A proper Rag n Bone salvage project. Brilliant mate. I really like the design. Sort of unfussy. Don't know about the overhang (?) at the back of the seat although I know why it's there. Only mention as you talked about a slight re-design. Looks lovely in the bedroom room Kieth.
Cheers Stew, originally the plan was to attack it with a spokeshave and make it a bit more sculptural once it was assembled, but it was one of those projects where it got to a point when I just wanted it to be finished! Yeah, the overhang at the back was a retrospective decidion to give it a bit more of a lean back - I assume that's what you picked up on? In the re-design I've tweaked the dimensions/angles slightly. Would have liked to explain that and loads of other stuff in the video, but as you probably know, longer videos seem to bore people! 👍
@@RagnBoneBrown Thank you mate, thanks for taking the time. I have some really great project videos that are about to go live, I hope you like them. Cheers mate, stay safe.
Hi Keith. The chair looks good, quite minimalistic looking. Enjoyed watching your machining and construction methods. The timber looks like Luan or African Mahogany. Your upholstery turned out great, don't knock it. Enjoyed watching. Tony
As you said Keith it's a nice story seeing the wood get a new purpose but staying in the house. As expected it's a really nice chair and a great detailed video. Hopefully it a useful addition to the room and will get many years of use. Great to see you taking part in the challenge set by Karl.
Great Chair! It does look tricky to make although well worth the effort. Looks proper comfy too! That Bug is called a Lacewing they can hibernate through winter so that might explain what he's doing in the workshop 😀
It's really nice! I think some thicker side aprons/seat rails would help with some of the proportions - but it's ultimately a beautiful chair made extra beautiful by where the wood came from. Thanks for sharing!
Great looking rocker roller. When you cut the dominoes in at the wrong angle you should have just glued them and cut them flush when dry. Then just redrill the dominoes as needed. By the way I noticed while you were trimming the dominoes down that the bolt holding one of the bearings in the bandsaw guide was loose.
I've made a few little things that needed leather. I went to my local svrap yard, and bought the leather from the seats in an old Rover 75. It looked like itnwas probably recycled leather too! If you only need little bits, it can be a very cheap way of getting it. You can also sometimes find leather with seams in to give patterns that will work for your project. Adds interest without needing to crack out the sewing machine
Hi Keith, I think the rocker/roller material may be Meranti (in my experience a poor/cheap/splintery form of Mahogany). An artists pallet knife also works well for getting glue into cracks. When sanding internal curves, a small radius drum can often leave scallops. An offcut (former) from the bandsaw with abrasive glued to it, might work better. Albeit needing a bit of elbow grease.
Keith, when the bonded leather starts failing (it will just look at all the dining chairs in the same stuff) or you want a change, I'd be happy to do a revamp with you (upholsterer, South Norfolk)
Loving your videos and especially because you admit your mistakes. Itching to get going experimenting with some garden furniture but lacking in tools. Love from Belfast.
Gee whiz that chair has some nice lines and a beautiful, elegant, shape to it. Beautiful work, I didn't see that resulting from the recycled timber you salvaged from the doors/windows! Plan on making a matching footstool/ottoman for it? It looks like a low foot stool might up the comfort level even more.
That’s a great chair Keith and I love how you show your mistakes & overcome them, 👍. It’s a shame Dylan didn’t appreciate it, maybe a few more clothes thrown on it will be more enticing 😂.
Thank you, THANK YOU, for showing mistakes and your honesty is refreshing. You are unbelievably talented and have an eye for design. I especially like your hunger for learning new things. So many youtube video makers leave out the mistakes and trial-and-error bits which makes it frustrating. One is led to think projects are easy diy, yet all the difficult bits are left out if the final cut. Again, thank you for not doing this.
Great job Keith. However, when I design and make a new sitting furniture (eg a chair or a rocking horse), I first make a detailed drawing and then a mock up (both normally 1:1) out of OSB or other scraps/softwoods. That way it's easier to find solutions to angels, sizes, joinery problems and assembly sequences, and if necessary, easier to make changes without wasting expensive hardwoods. For instance, in this case a mock up might have revealed the need for changes to the curve and the length of the rockers for best/most stable rocking effect. Also that the length of the legs, the seat:arm rest ration, and the seat:back rest angle should have been different for best comfort, that the legs should have been placed differently on the rockers for optimal balance, etc.
....... I need a rocking chair to through my clothes .....men...... Overall it is the most beautiful chair that you have made . I love the design the colour , the black leather , everything . Great job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you could've just plugged the mistakenly drilled domino holes, sanded them flush and then drilled again at the correct angle instead of having to make two new pieces. That said, another really cool project. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jeff, yes that's true, although I didn't want to have to wait for the glue to dry on the plug as I was trying to get the video ready for the challenge upload date and it was quicker to make new pieces
Nice project Keith! btw You are supposed to change width setting on the domino only when it's running.. or it could damage something internally I have heard.
this is fantastic mate. creating something lovely out of stuff you'd find in a skip. i have some very similar timber out of some old window frames and i'm going to have a go myself
Hi Keith another great build , I like how it turned out , once you stand up are you off your rocker?, for marking the curves I saw someone drilling small holes near the end of the thin wood and using string with knots [like a bow ] to achive the correct curve ,also for the plugs to cover the screws, in boat building they use varnish to hold the plugs in which can be picked out at a later date in screws need removed , I'm no expert but is the blade in your bandsaw tight enough , love your videos , keep up the good work ,G.
Cheers Dave, we all feel that way about our projects. I think the trick is to not mention the flaws and see if anyone notices them, but I haven't mastered that yet!
I got 2 large slabs of wood from a pub that was being demolished, they look just like that wood you are using I.E. smelly, splintery and sappy, and also dense. I was told the wood was mahogany, but as I haven’t got any from another source to check against I have to take them at their word.
Hi Keith, I find your video very educational, so I hope you don't mind if I ask a question. At 9.40 where you said you put the dominoes in at the wrong angle and ended up re-making them, did you consider cutting off the dominoes and re-drilling the same pieces? Or would that not have worked? I was thinking that it might have worked given that your domino setting was tight and the new slot might be strong enough? Sorry if this is a silly question :)
Hi Mike, you're absolutely right yes, you can plug the holes with dominos and re cut them. For me it was a case of not wanting to wait for the glue to dry as I was trying to get the project done on time for the challenge upload date - had I had more time, I may have done that
"somewhere to throw clothes" Keith PLEASE it's called A HAMPER. Ria is a goddess for putting up with you lol!! 😂 Chair looks great, no surprise there. 😊
I did enjoy the Video Keith. One thing I noticed was that your feet barely touched the floor. From what I understand, if a person's feet don't rest flat on the floor when sitting on a piece of furniture it can cause problems with the knees. I was wondering how your wife would use her feet to rock the chair being that she is a bit shorter than yourself? But as for the chair itself Keith, nice job. Thank you for entertaining an old lady.
Really good looking design and always helpful to see how you rectify any mistakes as you go. I have to say the final chair absolutely 'rocks'. (sorry...)

Thx for the make this week, super chair from “ waste”
Rock and Roll, Keith. Great re-use of materials!
Upholstery work is hard and it never is perfect. Just well hidden. Beautiful workmanship.
Great way to use up off cuts. Really nice looking chair.
The timber would be most likely meranti, sapele, or red grandis. All similar in colour and resemble mahogany. All commonly used for external joinery. Chair came out looking great 👍
I like leather a lot, and so long as it comes from animals that are already headed to the slaughterhouse I have no qualms about buying and using it. I just don't like it when animals are killed only for their hides or furs. That is a good looking chair, Keith, another success!
Tips for the upholstering. Get some buttons, and a circular cutter head. And drill some holes through the upholstering and back. Then thread the buttons and sow them through the leather pulling it tightly. You can get a great look in no time.

@@RagnBoneBrown Thank you mate, thanks for taking the time. I have some really great project videos that are about to go live, I hope you like them. Cheers mate, stay safe.
Nice chair Keith. Thanks, you have bumped up chair making on my todo list.
Great video, I would suggest making a plywood template for the rockers and use a templating bit on the router to get the curves
Or rollers
Fantastic project Keith... That stapler looks very handy for upholstery.
cheers, yes it works great!
I have a corner in our bedroom like this too. Much easier than putting them away.
Nice save on the seat upholstery.
Hi Keith. The chair looks good, quite minimalistic looking. Enjoyed watching your machining and construction methods.
The timber looks like Luan or African Mahogany. Your upholstery turned out great, don't knock it. Enjoyed watching. Tony
I have a piece of mahogany at the shop, looks very similar to Keith's description...
Nice rocking chair !
I like the idea of recycled leather , didn't realize that was something that existed.
Another great build, love seeing old wood repurposed and making new items.

thanks buddy. Would love to tackle a project like the one that you came up with some day!
Love it, and it looks great. That elbow pivot though 👌🏼😁
Great job 👍🏾. It's good to get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself every now and then. It looks great 💙

@@RagnBoneBrown You're welcome Keith.
The Bluetones 👌🏽
Really enjoying the channel. Thanks for sharing the great work. 👍🏽
Nicely done even with oops 😉
The fact you got the dimensions from a normal chair is a good idea
It's really nice! I think some thicker side aprons/seat rails would help with some of the proportions - but it's ultimately a beautiful chair made extra beautiful by where the wood came from. Thanks for sharing!

Rocking! So many different styles of chairs to build its hard to settle on one, but kudos, I hadn't considered a rocking chair. Good thinking 👍
I think 3 1/2 days for creating this chair - incl. salvaging the wood - is absolutely acceptable. Well done - stunning chair! :)
I loved the shape of the chair, it turned out well.
Keith, when the bonded leather starts failing (it will just look at all the dining chairs in the same stuff) or you want a change, I'd be happy to do a revamp with you (upholsterer, South Norfolk)
As always love the honesty. Great looking result..
Drink every time you hear “rocker. . . or roller”. It’s ok to pick your favorite word to call them. 😉 🍻 Cheers 🍻
Rocker or Roller, was driving me nuts
Great project though we'll done Keith lovely job
Running jokes are a well-established feature of old-fashioned handcrafted entertainment ;-)
Great use of the salvaged wood! The rocker looks fantastic!
Thank you very much Andrea
The little guy who came to visit was a green lacewing insect. Don't worry Keith, they won't eat your furniture, only your garden aphids ✌❤ Bob.
Loving your videos and especially because you admit your mistakes. Itching to get going experimenting with some garden furniture but lacking in tools. Love from Belfast.
I like the design. The upholstery looks pretty good!
absolutely fabulous Keith! Your skills just keep getting better (not just woodworking, but also video editing/voice overs etc)!

That's a great idea, but for a youtuber with a weekly upload schedule it's not really practical on an already 3 to 4 day build
Loved this project Keith.

That wood looks just like some stuff I recently salvaged from a shelf. Stinks!
Happy to find out what it was - cheers

It's a rocking chair Keith. Until you play your guitar while sitting in it, then it's a rock'n'roll chair. 🙂
Thats a great build Keith. I thought about making a rocking chair but went with a simple build in the end. My build didn't turn out great.
Cheers Dave, we all feel that way about our projects. I think the trick is to not mention the flaws and see if anyone notices them, but I haven't mastered that yet!
Onya pal, good to see you can make a quid out of a challenge video

Great chair and video! Really looking forward to getting into projects! Been looking for a unit for few months now hopefully find one soon 👌🏼
That’s a cracking chair Keith. It’s inspired me to have a go. All the best from the Wirral. 👍🏼
Nice chair Keith mate,I think that you should rename the video- rock-n-roller.
Good build Keith! You looked proper chuffed when you tried it for the first time! :D
Great skills exposed bro! Big up
Great Keith, Thanks! I think that was a lacewing that landed on your band saw?, they eat greenfly :) so they're a goody!
cheers, I am happy to find out what type of bug it was as I didn't know
Still have so much to practice but moving away from having it too bright - my earlier videos on my channel the make up just didnt work😀
Looks great
Do you have a video where you explain the name of your channel?
I got 2 large slabs of wood from a pub that was being demolished, they look just like that wood you are using I.E. smelly, splintery and sappy, and also dense. I was told the wood was mahogany, but as I haven’t got any from another source to check against I have to take them at their word.
thanks John. I've recently given up on trying to identify wood, I tend to just go ahead and use it now :-)
Awesome
You getting there & is neat creative❤️👏🏻 it reminds me the chester channel .. when u do the staple and making this racking chair 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
thank you
Looks really comfortable, you are very good at the upholstery too! Is that a talent or did it take practice?
Thanks. I've dabbled with it a few times but I have got a lot to learn
Kinda got a feeling you and Ria are expecting a little one hence the reason for making a ‘Rocking Chair’ 😊
"unless you think i suck for other reasons" 😂😂
Hi Keith, I find your video very educational, so I hope you don't mind if I ask a question.

I did enjoy the Video Keith. One thing I noticed was that your feet barely touched the floor. From what I understand, if a person's feet don't rest flat on the floor when sitting on a piece of furniture it can cause problems with the knees. I was wondering how your wife would use her feet to rock the chair being that she is a bit shorter than yourself? But as for the chair itself Keith, nice job. Thank you for entertaining an old lady.
I might have shortened the legs a little.. but then again, I never made a chair..
Nice job.
Really good looking design and always helpful to see how you rectify any mistakes as you go. I have to say the final chair absolutely 'rocks'. (sorry...)
