So this video was originally going to be a "Premiere" but after all the backlash I just published it. Won't be doing that again! Anyway, drama out the way...enjoy the video!
I've heard whispers of "Premiere" I have recollections of seeing it on a couple of thumbnails. No idea what it is or was or will be. I like the video though.
Thanks Robin for your frank commentary at the end, it was very helpful. Thumbs up. I'm near the same place, in woodworking, as you were when you made this and half way through a 'squatters chair" build (that's taking me way longer and way harder than I thought it would). Hearing of your doubts... and solutions... one doesn't feel alone.
Fantastic outcome on a challenging build. For woodwork learning, I enjoyed the exposition at the end but honestly, as usual, if you were to sell it no one would notice the small flaws I am sure. Top stuff.
It's interesting to see the different species of wood that you have down under, they sound exotic. While in the US we have the traditional Walnut, Oak, Cherry, Pine, etc... Stool looks great - kind of like a Japanese influenced Shaker style.
Good analysis of your work . . . the more you work with wood, the better you'll get and you will be amazed at your progress, understanding and accuracy. Cheers . . .
Hi, thanks for video. I am only starting woodworking and now read a book about woodworking basics. Based on the book, because of season temperature changes, such stool top connection will destroy the whole structure or I misunderstood something?
@RobinLewisMakes that drill press light is genius! It's a great first attempt at new things. I'm sure you are a pro at them now. I only found you today. Do you have any videos with a castle joint?
@@RobinLewisMakes I recently discovered a joint (well...new to me that is...lol). Most people have seen or heard of dovetail and finger joints. In the late 1800's a man called Charles B. Knapp patented a new style called the Knapp joint. Also referred to as "pin/cove, scallop/dowel, scallop/peg, pin/scallop or half moon". Rich people wanted a more elite style of furniture so he came up with a special machine. It's a gorgeous design that I want to try!
Well I think it turned out "Mighty"! Looks great. Love the joints and thank you for sharing the challenges you encountered. If making things didn't have challenges as part of the process, then I suppose we'd be doing other things I guess. Well done mate!
HI do not know what there is to dislike here, you tryed somthing new it was not purfect BUT it is a one off and HAND CUT and not a robot. Loved it and all power to you (but after all the backlash) they are not worht it. six weeks i have been building a shoe cupboard for over a year an trying lotes of new things in it so that takes time so well dun and THANK YOU FOR THE VID
Looks awesome and the fish scaling is puurfect!. It's a neat project for learning about joinery and how adding a bit of flair to the legs really adds time and complexity to a build 😂
I love the chair! Also, do you have any suggestions for working with soft pine? it's so soft and pliable that it just looks like smooshed bread even with the sharpest chisel.
@@RobinLewisMakes That's what I was thinking. And considering I can already shave with my chisels, I think ill stick to the more expensive hard woods. Our cheep wood here (Missouri) is soft pine. Any hard wood is going to cost you a decent amount.
Thanks mate. Yeah it's tough; when she's awake you want to be with her but when she's asleep (and you have free time) noise is an issue. Been pretty lucky though, she sleeps through most of it
@@RobinLewisMakes Just have to normalise the woodshop noise for them by having noise all the time while she sleeps. You may have to record the noises and play them back in her room when you just want time out though....
Dovetails use interlocking wedges so the join can't pull apart once it's glued (it pulls into the wedge), a half lap join is a square/rectangle overlap of wood.
This premier thing people are doing on TH-cam is a load of shit. This is not a movie it's a 10min or so video what is the waiting to see it for. Post the video or don't post it. This premier is not going to invite more people to watch u just going to aggravate your viewers.
Works and looks great doing it

Thanks for ditching the premiere. I appreciate that you respect your subscribers. Great video
I've heard whispers of "Premiere" I have recollections of seeing it on a couple of thumbnails. No idea what it is or was or will be. I like the video though.
I don’t like the way they show up in advance, but the live chat is great
Nice build!
Fantastic!
I have had difficulties with projects that weren't nearly as complex and technical as this one was, so the wait for this video was well worth effort.
Super cool Robin, freakin super cool man!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Beautiful project . Stepping out of your comfort zone is not always easy. Remember "if you're not living on the edge, you're taking too much space".
Haha, I like that. Thanks!
Very nice stool
Thanks

Looks great, and the hand cut joints will get better over time. Loved the video.
Thanks! I hope so

Great job! Thanks for sharing and keep it up!
Thanks very much!
Loved the longer build video. Want to see more. That is a beautiful work of art that you should be proud of Robin.
Thanks Bonnie
That's a lovely piece and made for a great video - thanks.
Thanks Nick

Thanks!Never tried that one, I should put it on the list!

Cool build, Robin! The different joints kind of intimidate me. You did a good job of explaining what you were doing through this though!
It's beautiful.!
Thanks Sarah
Greetings from Richmond, Virginia, USA. Beautiful job!
Thanks Jay
What a great challenge !! Love spotted gum great video thank you Robin :)
Thanks!

Thanks Scott, appreciate it mate
Great job mate. That part of the drill you were referring to is called the quill. Cheers
good job matey, keep going
Great work, keep it up
Thank you

Haha, you're not wrong! For the next one it's going 90's at every corner!!!
I love the chair! Also, do you have any suggestions for working with soft pine? it's so soft and pliable that it just looks like smooshed bread even with the sharpest chisel.
Pine (or anything that soft) is surprisingly hard to work with. All your blades need to be razor sharp!

Looks good Rob... and yep angles and splaying is fun isn't it
Compound angles hurt my brain!
Nice work
Thanks
That router jig for getting a flat side....... How have I missed that 😭😭 #years of manually planing..
When I first discovered it it changed everything, haha! You can go as big or small as you want and get good results
Love seeing you push your skills to the next level. Not easy on video either, but you did a great job mate. Respect 👊🏽
Thanks Leeroy
Looks sweet. I'd call it a half lap dovetail.
Thanks man!
nice work Bro
Thanks Rob
Came out well :) How you going managing balancing noise with sleeping baby?
Thanks mate. Yeah it's tough; when she's awake you want to be with her but when she's asleep (and you have free time) noise is an issue. Been pretty lucky though, she sleeps through most of it

Hey mate!! Love the work bro keep at it!
Thank you!
I can see some ISHITANI influence on this, well done mate!
Dimitris Florakis thanks mate, really appreciate that!
Difference between halfap and dovetail for the uninitiated please?
Dovetails use interlocking wedges so the join can't pull apart once it's glued (it pulls into the wedge), a half lap join is a square/rectangle overlap of wood.
Hey top work mate. That timber looks really nice and has a great story behind it. Does this stool signal the return of The Shop Stool Podcast?
Thanks Barry. Not yet, we're all still trying to find time for our own businesses right now, but we'll see what happens over the next couple months
This premier thing people are doing on TH-cam is a load of shit.

Appreciate the feedback
Agreed. I'm aggravated!
@@JulianFoley duly noted
After all the backlash I scrapped the Premiere idea and published the video...won't be doing that again!
