The Dart [with Plans Bonus]: paskmakes.com/the-dart-bundle My first video for a while since a much needed break. It's great to be back and with the perfect type of project to get my teeth into. It has a bit of everything with metal fabrication and woodworking. :) Check out Corin's handmade tools, for free shipping use the code Pask-FP www.niroc.com.au
@@nehocdrofsnop It would get tedious to show every slight mishap and some small things would just halt the video for no good reason. But if it's a proper mistake or mishap then I always show it. :)
Part of the pleasure of seeing your projects is the "over the top" elements you design and add to your projects. You are an artist as well as a craftsman.
Oh yeah, I noticed this too. We come here to see those artistic flairs that make your projects stand out from whatever you can get off the shelf everywhere. A kayak, night stand, mini clamps, a guitar, lamps, etc... All that is already available and it is therefore "over the top" to try to make your own of pretty much anything. But these are _yours_ and that's the whole point of "makers" and channels like yours in general.
But Neil's approach to making custom plywood, while nonchalant, makes it appear within the average WW hobbyist's reach. The welding and press work is really impressive.
Once again, your "I'll give it a go" lets me know that we're in for a good time and that we'll learn a lot. Beautiful chair, Neil. Thanks for sharing this. This was very enjoyable and very informative. I always learn a lot.
That plywood is incredible quality! Nice build. I would love to see you furnish your house some more with your own pieces. The shop furniture is so nice, I’d bet the furniture you could make now for your home would be top notch
Right?! When my father in law used a coffee mug to trace the corner of an outdoor seating area, it was a V-8 moment. (Of course any round item you use was made with a curve template!)
I have been subscribed to your channel to watch your videos for a long time ! I liker how you tell what you are doing !! Keep up the good work !! Hi from the USA !!
There isn’t much you can’t do and I love to see you try new methods. You have such a knack for jigs and fixtures. What a joy this was to watch. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Again a beautiful project and gorgeous craftsmanship 👏🏻 (You chose the most beautiful shade of green 😅) I enjoyed every minute. Thank you for this sunday gift and especially for the sincerity in your videos. Be safe Neil ✌🏻
You acquired some real skill with your flypress! What a unique project, thanks for sharing. Also, it's a great project with a wide variety of skills and techniques.
I have a farmhouse table, inset bookshelf where my fireplace used to be, and a workbench for the shop going on right now. It’s great to sit back and watch you work while I put those projects off for another week lol.
The chair looks great. Well done. I like how you call it "making plywood" where other makers call it the fancy "bent lamination". I think you're right one, we're just making plywood! Love all the detail.
Your skills are unparalleled. I know you’ll think, “It was just a simple chair” but sometimes the simplest things are the easiest to screw up. Just the legs could have been slightly wonky or wavy but they are absolutely perfect. AMAZING!
Thank you, Neil, I always appreciate seeing your work, your thought process as you work and how you deal with unplanned speed-bumps. Many blessings from the remote outback of Northeastern New Mexico, USA.
Great timing, I've been wanting to make some laminated plywood chairs for my boat; but couldn't work out how to make veneers with simple tools. Corin makes heirloom quality tools in both quality and artistry of design; free international shipping is incredible given how poor our dollar is here.
Neil, it's extremely satisfying watching you create your next project and how easy you alway's seem to make it look. That said the chair looks great and the best thing about it is that not only does it look good but it will definitely outlast anything that you could buy in the shops. I bet you really are happy about the fact that you rescued the fly press and restored it as it's possibly one of those tool's that you use the most. As alway's buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
Beautiful work and big thanks. You won't get anything like that from Ikea!! I am a hobbyist woodworker and furniture maker, yet to introduce myself to metalworking. Your vast skillset and experience are something to behold and I learn something every time I watch your well filmed and produced videos. Big thanks from Sydney - Dave
I just placed the order, I can’t wait!!! It’s really nice to support my favorite maker and I look forward to using the plans! Beautiful chair btw, I remember the metal scoring jig and its come in really handy. If you could do a welding class for these type projects I’ll definitely watch! I’ve always loved the mix of metal to wood to making your own marking tools, especially the chisels types and how you reuse old files or anything you have that you’d otherwise throw out and instead give these things new life. Out of all the channels this has been the most educational, thought provoking and inspiring. I never wanted to get into welding or knife and tool making till I discovered your channel years ago. I think it was your beautiful front door revamp that I clicked on first and then all the “scrap wood” challenges and so on. Anyways your work and channel is a true gem in the woodworking, welding, etc. maker community
Thanks very much and thanks for the support! It's awesome that my projects have inspired you, I'm not sure I'm the person to teach welding though. I reckon welding is one of those things you need to practice at and just give it a go, there's plenty of helpful videos to get you started. :)
Amazing vid! Very inspiring for me and my classmates studying Industrial Design! Great demonstration of techniques and practices that I often see left out. Thank you for sharing this amazing project!
That’s a cool vintage chair project. I got a bunch of steel case desks tables and chairs, some very similar to this project in the 90’s when my job closed down. These things will out live me.
Wow. Takes me back 50 years. Looks factory made The plywood is really nice. There are a few 1960s bent wood chairs they still make today ill bet you would have no problem doing copy of.
My dad has a chair similar to that which he's used for years to do drafting. Although, his has a ring that you can rest your feet on, and soft padding for the seat and back, but it's still in a very similar form factor to this.
Isn't incredible that we manage to find round things in the shop that matches exactly the radius required on corners! Thanks Neil, from across the ditch.
It's the attention to detail that's so impressive. I ave a shop stool to finish, and I'm going to try real hard to invoke the Spirit of PaskMakes when I get it on the bench. Body Filler and Paint will cover a lot of the sins my welding skills would otherwise broadcast to the world! Good to see you back.
Genuinely amazing video and work quality, the plywood turned out well! One of the VERY few channels i will always click on the second i see a new upload. Even amongst so many thousands creators on this platform your video style just stands out. Also please do more chairs!
So great to see you back in the shop after your vacation. The chair came out great, as usual. Our tools always seem to find the worst time to fail us. The improvising on clamping the seat seemed to work out pretty good (other than that small crack on the top veneer).
Very inspiring project! You can make a press break with huge capability quite cheaply. Fwiw I made a 49" width capacity 40ton air-over-hydraulic press brake for a tad under $1k USD. It has theoretical capability to bend 3/8" mild steel plate 48" wide. The heaviest bends I've done so far were 37" wide 14ga. mild steel and 16" wide 1/2" mild steel. It handled both with ease. *We're Makers--we don't have to settle for buying expensive machines or do without because they cost too much 👊
Gawd, I remember seats like this in school. Those bolts in the seat certainly left an uncomfortable memory when you're a kid without much meat on their sit bones! 😂😂 Hope your recessed ones are a lot more comfortable.
As usual, a superlative job. Might be time to swap out welders. Miller has a multi-process that lets you have mig and tig set up at the same time, auto switch over when you activate the other gun control.

Glad to have you back to posting, but more glad you're taking a break!!
Great job!
I bought the Dart a few months ago, I haven't used it yet, it's far too pretty! 😁
Hope you had an enjoyable break! 💜
@@Vormulac1 Awesome though you should use it! Thanks for the support! :)
I've always liked that you don't edit out your mistakes, you don't try and sell some false view of your craft. It's admirable.
you don't know what you don't know
@cho4d fair enough. But the fact that he chooses to leave at least some in, that's more than a fair few youtubers can say.
No worries - Glad you're enjoying the videos. :)

Me too - Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Makes own plywood
"Making my own wing nut might be over the top" 😂
Yeah, you're probably right! :)
But that plywood was gorgeous and it’s the easiest way to get the shapes :)

Really like the "homemade" plywood, it turned out awesome!
Damn, that is superb. I can only imagine doing something this nice.
2:14 truly awesome techniques!
That plywood is incredible quality! Nice build.
I would love to see you furnish your house some more with your own pieces. The shop furniture is so nice, I’d bet the furniture you could make now for your home would be top notch
I was surprised at quite how good the plywood turned out. It really is the nicest piece I've ever used (minus the crack). :)
Once again, well done!
12:58 the hellraiser clamps 😂
I like the metal cutting jig, basically a copy of a roller type paper cutter, good thunking.
Thanks, I'm super pleased with it. :)
I love all the random things you use for circle traces (sanding disks, duct tape roll, etc.) So resourceful!
Right?!
When my father in law used a coffee mug to trace the corner of an outdoor seating area, it was a V-8 moment. (Of course any round item you use was made with a curve template!)
There always seems to be something with just the right radius. :)
The sanding disk for the compound curve of the seat was amazing too!
Heckof a lot of metal work but i know you enjoy using your shop metalworking tools for your own projects!
I have been subscribed to your channel to watch your videos for a long time ! I liker how you tell what you are doing !! Keep up the good work !! Hi from the USA !!
You said at the end: hope you'll like the video.
Absolutely Loves it! The chair is fantastic
that was awesome. making your own plywood takes "DIY" to a whole new level.
There isn’t much you can’t do and I love to see you try new methods. You have such a knack for jigs and fixtures. What a joy this was to watch. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Corin’s tool are excellent. Awesome quality and well made.
Cheers mate!

Just ordered the dart with plans. Thanks great deal.
I love mine! I have two…. The production model and the original prototype;-)
You acquired some real skill with your flypress! What a unique project, thanks for sharing. Also, it's a great project with a wide variety of skills and techniques.
that metal saw jig is brilliant
I have a farmhouse table, inset bookshelf where my fireplace used to be, and a workbench for the shop going on right now. It’s great to sit back and watch you work while I put those projects off for another week lol.
this channel is very inspiring.
You really are a Master Craftsman's Master Craftsman!
Nothing over the top about the wing nut. It's perfect.
Another fantastic build, Neil! That was so cool how you made the plywood from the floorboards.
The chair looks great. Well done. I like how you call it "making plywood" where other makers call it the fancy "bent lamination". I think you're right one, we're just making plywood! Love all the detail.
Your skills are unparalleled. I know you’ll think, “It was just a simple chair” but sometimes the simplest things are the easiest to screw up. Just the legs could have been slightly wonky or wavy but they are absolutely perfect. AMAZING!
Very nice chair. It reminds me to my desk chair during my childhood... 😊
Your craftsmanship, ingenuity and patience always amaze me. Great chair!
Thanks very much! :)

Excellent video, excellent work. I really enjoyed watching, enough that I SUBSCRIBED.
Hello from Maine, USA
You should really have a look through his back catalog if you liked this one!
Great looking chair. Better then any store bought one.
Great timing, I've been wanting to make some laminated plywood chairs for my boat; but couldn't work out how to make veneers with simple tools.

Cheers mate! I am just happy to get my work in as many hands as possible!
I tuned in for the homemade plywood and stayed for the fly press! Gorgeous result and I love the finish. Can't wait to see your other designs!
Looks factory made. Amazing job.
That is super clean and retro. Love the lines and the wood. Neil, another great project in the books.
That fly press is like the decked out version of a book press and I love it
Neil, it's extremely satisfying watching you create your next project and how easy you alway's seem to make it look.

Didn't think I'd ever say this about a chair but it looks delicious!! Well done sir 👏
Glad you like it! Thank you. :)

Great to have you back, Neil, hope you're fully refreshed. And, yes a superb project to kick off with and a real professional finish as ever!
Thanks very much - all refreshed and ready for the year ahead! :)

Unreal. You are incredible at what you do, including making homemade hardwood ply. That green is a gorgeous color too! Excited for the next episode.

Nice work, again. Greets from Germany
Piece of art. Good job 👍
It looks _so_ good!
Amazing vid! Very inspiring for me and my classmates studying Industrial Design! Great demonstration of techniques and practices that I often see left out. Thank you for sharing this amazing project!
That’s a cool vintage chair project.
I got a bunch of steel case desks tables and chairs, some very similar to this project in the 90’s when my job closed down. These things will out live me.
You always seem to come up with the most true to form vintage style designs yet fresh enough to blur the line between yet another great shop chair
Slick! As for your wingnut being over the top, nothing’s over the top if it looks cool!
Wow. Takes me back 50 years.
Looks factory made
The plywood is really nice.
There are a few 1960s bent wood chairs they still make today ill bet you would have no problem doing copy of.
"I'll give it a go" makes me settle back in my chair with a smile. I'm Never disappointed! Thanks mate, and stay Blessed.
Years ago, for making curved plywood, I used a fire hose energized with compressed air, and sandwiched between two forms, and two glued-up pieces.
My dad has a chair similar to that which he's used for years to do drafting. Although, his has a ring that you can rest your feet on, and soft padding for the seat and back, but it's still in a very similar form factor to this.
The plywood is stunning. I can't get over the color of the layers. Just wow!
It's nice to see so many small techniques used in one project combining wood and metalworking. Bravo!
Elegant, in its industrial way. I love you make stuff I’d never think one could make in a home shop. Cheers!
Man that plywood turned out so pretty!! Brushbox has such a lovely colour to it.
Isn't incredible that we manage to find round things in the shop that matches exactly the radius required on corners! Thanks Neil, from across the ditch.
beautiful work Neil, you reminded me of the old Toledo furniture!!! Bravo!!!
Gorgeous, just wonderful in every way.
Looks great!
It's the attention to detail that's so impressive. I ave a shop stool to finish, and I'm going to try real hard to invoke the Spirit of PaskMakes when I get it on the bench. Body Filler and Paint will cover a lot of the sins my welding skills would otherwise broadcast to the world! Good to see you back.
What a work of art!! 😍😍😍 These old designs were perfect. Truly functional and made to last 👏👏👏
As always, a beautiful finished product. Thanks for the great content!!!
Anybody can be a great welder , as long as you have a good grinder 😎
Yes, please make more vintage projects! ❤
I love all of your videos! This chair is AMAZING! Thank you so much Neal for sharing this with us all! One love!
The sounds effects in this one cracked me up!
I always love watching you work. Probably because I can tell how much you enjoy it!
Beautiful chair!
Thanks June! :)

Really great work. Nice addition with the delux butterfly bolt
Very cool. Reminds me of a chair my Papa used to have in his shop

Thanks very much! The brake sounds awesome and you're right there's always a way if you have the will. :)
An inspirational joy to watch you work.
Very nice project! That plywood came out perfectly
Beautiful build, beautiful video. It's fantastic to watch you progress as a craftsman.
Great job, love it. Spent many hours sitting on one of these laying out projects in the machine shop.
What a clever project. Nice work.
Such a pleasure to watch you, making things.
So beautiful Dr Pask, beautiful
This chair reminds me of school. Great job 👍
looks amazing! I love the dual discipline videos.
The chair turned ut really gorgeous! I'm happy that you're back and really happy that you got some greatly deserved rest.
Gawd, I remember seats like this in school. Those bolts in the seat certainly left an uncomfortable memory when you're a kid without much meat on their sit bones! 😂😂
Hope your recessed ones are a lot more comfortable.
I recessed them further than on the seat I made a few years ago. Even though I've never actually noticed them on that chair when sitting on it. :)
Absolutely beautiful
Beautiful chair, it would do any shop justice, and lately I have been needing a good comfortable sit every now and then. Enjoyed, cheers!
Beautiful chair! Wonderful job. I always enjoy your meticulous attention to detail
I love it when you say “ I think I can do better than that “ 😊
Its beautiful! I love these old style designs!
