I Make some chairs! prototype is Sapele and Maple, my 6 are red Oak and Iroko. these are tests to see if i can make these as affordable production pieces.
My grandfather was a carpenter. I never met him, but it makes me very happy that some of his pieces are still in use in different countries. I really enjoy your channel, the quality and nature of the projects are great. Sadly in Finland where I live there's little market for this noble profession. Not to mention that everybody has IKEA at home. I tried to furnish my house with mid century pieces.
I really enjoy your designs and the creativity you have. I also like your mellow, even-tempered nature. Nice presentation of very beautiful designs and craftsmanship as well. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
This was awesome that you went into so much detail about a build with all the jigs. Thanks for that. Also, on another note, I think it's cool that you and your wife have matching tattoos of the diamond for the ring finger and wings on your left arms. Never noticed that before. Keep up the great videos and thanks for keeping it simple for all of us.
I love the design of the chairs. Mid Century Modern era of furniture is my favorite and that is what I build for my own house. I hadn't thought of using jigs like that for my domino but I will be doing that in the future. And being a Bernina tech on the side it made me smile to see your machine.
As always, Joey. Love your work and the finesse you utilize to get a top pro job done. I think the suggestion to put "breather/relief" holes in the plywood is a good ideal too. Love the simple but comfy look.
As usual with your videos Joey, so much to like (and only one thumbs up per person per video). Enjoyed the ideas, the humour, the style, video production and workshop productivity and those "ugly" jigs - just awesome. Thanks and cheers, David
What a coincidence!, I am a junior carpenter (I hope soon like you), and my wife is costume designer. Simple and beatiful your new chairs, by my side, a have a dinning table 😀, but not my own chairs 😔. Greetings from Chile!! Enjoy our summer time.
+GuysWoodshop thanks guy , it was a bit tricky putting the vid together actually, do I show jig making, do I show all 14 jigs, is it going to be too boring etc.
I really enjoy the way you present your builds. Not just a "here's what I have made" but a thoughtful insight to the process and how to improve the build along the way. Nice style too - sadly I'm a mid-century product as well. Cheers.
That sliding dovetail makes them so much more fancy, even if it's straight forward with the jigs. My wife's sold, I reckon I'll be trying something similar
Risom inspired? Love the minimalist beauty of mid-century modern. Has a warmth and character that a lot of more 'contemporary' pieces lack. This is beautiful work mate, thanks for bringing us along to see the process.
Nice job. vent holes in the seat base will allow air to escape and prevent air pressure from possibly damaging sewn seams. Compressing the foam while tacking the cover helps get a nice snug fit. It'll mean another jig though !!!
Nice work Joey! The Domino is such a killer tool for chairs. I’ve built both a set of bar stools and a set of dining chairs and would have been lost without that tool. Some really clever jigs there as well! Wonder how fast you could batch out a set now that you have the jigs done and one set under your belt?
Great video! I build MCM furniture and have had a hard time finding knowledge on how to make chairs like this. Liked that you took the time to show the different jigs and setups. Super usefull and much apreciated. If you at some time feel like expanding a bit on the topic I would love to learn a bit more about your design process; how do you get to that exact shape, what/who inspired you, what goals did you set etc? Keep up the good work!
No furniture maker worth they're weight would ever use pocket hole screws. Thats what he is laughing about. Especially when you went through the trouble of making a slide down dovetail backrest, then you went and used pocket hole screws. One word of advice for you. If you plan on selling these chairs to the public I'm thinking either all joinery, or no joinery. Not half & half ok joey? Other then that i happen to like most of your stuff! ☺
Yeah that's the way Mr Sellers does his too. Oh, and re using leather & sewing, in his guide he just uses one sheet I think & stretches it around the seat: th-cam.com/video/mYFygbgGv-M/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/bvMElkHLsDc/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely brilliant! I love how understated the jig making process was presented - like it didn't take hours on end with a multitude of coffee and furrowed brows. Quick question - with the left and right female dovetail jig on the back rests at 11:11, how did you set the length stop? Was it just marked out and eyeballed for the pull saw cutoff later?
Nice video. The chairs look very nice. The covers for the seat you could have also sewed. Sewing is not difficult, I've sewn a leather cover for my seat.
Hi, I enjoyed the project and the process of making it. Learned a lot. Thank You. What is that sander whic appears in 7th minute. Greetings from Tenerife
How about a flat pack option? You could do all of the cutting, shaping and domino prep. The purchaser could do the glue-up, trim the top of the chair-back dovetail, stain and upholstery.
Thanks Joey but I think I found an alternate route. Felder has plans available for free download for a similar chair. I already have templates cut and blanks of monkeypod ready to go since I was planning on building one of these just as a skill building exercise. It's one of those projects I never got around to finishing. So, instead, I'm going to modify this plan to take advantage of the joinery methods you explained in this video which should make the process far less demanding. Just in case anyone else might want chair plans (it seems chair plans are as rare as unicorns) I hope you don't mind that I post the link here.

I made the dinning table first and then Benches to match. What comes first the chicken or the egg?? I have also found myself making custom 35mm Dominoes quite a lot lately. You would think that if the Dom machine will cut the hole, then you could buy the dominoes to suit. In a commercial business time is money and Jigs are the way to go for time and reproduction. I'm running out of space to keep all my past Jigs. Maybe to offer Vinyl or Leather option if you are going to sell as a stock item

As a woodworker, I love these chairs. As a quilter, I covet the Bernina. Great work all around!
+Trishy B cheers

Great looking chairs. So many angles, so many jigs, I guess that's the nature of chairs.
nice design and thoughtful process. thank you for sharing this
As always, Joey. Love your work and the finesse you utilize to get a top pro job done. I think the suggestion to put "breather/relief" holes in the plywood is a good ideal too. Love the simple but comfy look.
+Clyde Decker thanks. Will see how they go if I need breather holes or not.
Very pleasing design. Look fantastic and comfortable. Great Channel Joey
+John horsfall thank you
Super video . . . your music makes AC/DC seem tame . . . jigs are fantastic, makes ten units as easy as one.
+Rod MacKinnon cheers ha sometimes. That's the plan....
Beautiful craftsmanship as usual, and a multi talented family also!
Keep up the great work and videos
+James O'sullivan thanks
How wonderful that you both had a hand in making something that your family will use everyday. Great work!
+Brian Hackett cheers

+DRMNZ cheers man
Awesome video Joey, really enjoyed the jig overview and insight. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome build and design. Love the choice of wood, looks sturdy and comfortable. 👍
Good looking chair. Drawings, jigs and a prototype, time and materials are wasted without them.
What a coincidence!, I am a junior carpenter (I hope soon like you), and my wife is costume designer.
Simple and beatiful your new chairs, by my side, a have a dinning table 😀, but not my own chairs 😔.
Greetings from Chile!!
Enjoy our summer time.
LOVED seeing the wife and kiddo!!!
Excellent! Thank you for yet another piece of inspiration. PS Your summers are just like ours here in the North West of Scotland....
+Alasdair MacKenzie ha that's what they say
Chairs look great Joey. I really enjoyed how you show how the use of jigs speed up the manufacturing process.
+GuysWoodshop thanks guy , it was a bit tricky putting the vid together actually, do I show jig making, do I show all 14 jigs, is it going to be too boring etc.
Well done man . Beautiful family effort.
Love your work and your videos. Pure meditation to watch, and truly inspiring.
Yes, you need to make the table ... :) Congrats for these superb chairs !
Hi, great work and enjoyed the video. I really liked the design. Any chance that I can but the plans for this chair? Thanks.
Beautiful outcome, loving the family effort !
Nice design mate the chairs look very elegant
I really enjoy the way you present your builds. Not just a "here's what I have made" but a thoughtful insight to the process and how to improve the build along the way. Nice style too - sadly I'm a mid-century product as well. Cheers.

Great skills.Awesome jigs. Back to the shop then to make the table, eh...
Great looking chair design. Good luck with them standing up to the kiddo, lol.
The chairs finished up really nicely. Sooooooo many jigs, even a little blue jig to drill a counter-sunk hole. Leaving nothing to chance hey? 😀
"Now I need a dining table. Hmmm" LOL! The chairs look great, can't wait to see the matching table :-) Tfs.
Nice work Joey! The Domino is such a killer tool for chairs. I’ve built both a set of bar stools and a set of dining chairs and would have been lost without that tool. Some really clever jigs there as well! Wonder how fast you could batch out a set now that you have the jigs done and one set under your belt?
+Crafted Workshop cheers Johnny, yes deffinitly the tool for the job. I'd say 2 days for a set of 6. That's the plan anyway.
Great work!! Are you selling plans?
Great video! I build MCM furniture and have had a hard time finding knowledge on how to make chairs like this. Liked that you took the time to show the different jigs and setups. Super usefull and much apreciated.

Great build, well done 🏆👍🏼😊
Good work! Handsome chairs.
These are great Joey. Any chance you can make plans available?
Just this morning I thought when will next video appear... draw a smile on my face.
I really enjoy your videos.
+n. ibralic thanks
This is a very beautiful project!
Thanks you Joey, great job. Very educational video IMO.
+David Spinadel cheers
Excelente gracias por compartir ¡ grandioso lo que haces ! felicidades a ti y tu familia
Those look great, Joey! Good for you!
I always like your hand art made
Awesome 👌🏻 thanks for share 😊
that’s a gorgeous design, can’t wait to see the dining room table 😁
lol, is it just me or is his rough mock up better then anything I have made before
very nice and easy to make it..thanks for idea
Nice chairs! haha that rain filled my tank up :)
great design, are there plans? thanks for the video.
"Let's just call these countersunk holes, eh?" 😂😂😂😂😂 awesome build! I laughed hard at that!
+Nicholas Phelps at what ? What are you talking about😉
No furniture maker worth they're weight would ever use pocket hole screws. Thats what he is laughing about. Especially when you went through the trouble of making a slide down dovetail backrest, then you went and used pocket hole screws. One word of advice for you.

@@christinecahill2874 What an ignorant comment
Hi. Congratulations for you job!! Are the plans for sale? Thanks
Very nice job!!! I'm interest ed în your router table jig, is something you've built or bought?
Bang tetap semangat dalam usaha hobi kayu good 👍
Who makes the sliding jig on your router table? Looks very well made.
I would like to know as well.
They look great, congrats.
Looks good, like the colour
What are the blueprints for this chair and I love the stage tables
I have a new KF700 so I was very interested in seeing your taper jig in action.
Oh cool. Yea it's super easy with a sliding table. And super repeatable.
Nice work Joey
Have you considered 'vent' holes in the plywood seat? - helps the vinyl and foam keep its shape after prolonged use.
Chris
Yeah that's the way Mr Sellers does his too. Oh, and re using leather & sewing, in his guide he just uses one sheet I think & stretches it around the seat:

+Marc Spence it was a nice coincidence that my router base had to line up with the link in the leg. So I just eye balled that. Cheers
Nice video.
The chairs look very nice.
The covers for the seat you could have also sewed.
Sewing is not difficult, I've sewn a leather cover for my seat.
Hi, I enjoyed the project and the process of making it. Learned a lot. Thank You. What is that sander whic appears in 7th minute. Greetings from Tenerife
I love your work man!
Good job 👏
Just watched Jordan Crawfords' Stance Table build. I think his table and your chairs match quite well.
+Peter Compton yea true
Really nice looking chairs!
Nicely done. This is why I hate building chairs. The demands of repeatability take so much time it's difficult to price the work reasonably.
+Paul C yup I hear that
I am would like to make a project like that. Will you be willing to share the design?
brilliant stuff as usual Joey
Wow - those are amazing - to bad you are not closer to me, I would commission some pieces...
How about a flat pack option? You could do all of the cutting, shaping and domino prep. The purchaser could do the glue-up, trim the top of the chair-back dovetail, stain and upholstery.
+NimblyBimbly ha i have been thinking about that
KingPost TimberWorks what do you think you'd need to charge to make it worth your while?
hmm not really sure maybe $100 plus timber cost and shipping. id need to do a few like that to work out time.
AAAAAmazing beautiful chair, congratulations
+oscar silva thanks
Great job. 👍
nice job man 😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great job Joey!
Love your work! I need to make myself 12 chairs and this would be perfect. Any chance these plans will be made available?
+Artie Kendall hi umm not as such if you contact me through my email i could send some dimensions etc.
Thanks Joey but I think I found an alternate route. Felder has plans available for free download for a similar chair.

Good looking chairs. Perfect ending.
You are really KING.
Nice lesson, great. Thank you .
Nice! How do you get rit of the glue squeeze out whithout having to sand a lot in the corners?
+Konstantin Köhler I don't really have problems as long as I clean it off with a wet rag while it's wet
Thanks! You are one of my favourite woodworkers on youtube. Like your style, attitude and of course what you are building. :-)
The truth is that the work you do is excellent, I would like tomorrow to get to work, film and edit your way. Congratulations
+El Taller de Nino thank you
as always - very entertaining and informative. Some day I will do a video..... someday.
cheers man
Really nice job
I was wondering when this would be popping up!
+JordsWoodShop / Periodic Furniture Studio yea finally got the upholstery done!
That was fun!
I'm from Indonesia, if you can know what the name of the wood hole machine is ...?
great video mate
Muy bonito, me gustó!!
I believe that a dinning table will not be a problem haha
we'll see .......
I made the dinning table first and then Benches to match. What comes first the chicken or the egg??
I have also found myself making custom 35mm Dominoes quite a lot lately. You would think that if the Dom machine will cut the hole, then you could buy the dominoes to suit.

I liked the chairs!
+BUK thanks
What was playing at 13:06 ?
What is that tool called at 3:44?
