Cool design. As a sailor, I have a pro tip for you. Instead of using the scratch awl, you need a "fid." Get a pair of knitting needles. Cut them off about 6 inches from the pointed end (at an angle) and deburr the cut. You push the fid through where you want it to go, and stick the end of the cord in the hollow angled end of the needle. Some people even use a tap in the end to create threads to screw the paracord into the fid so it won't fall out. To do that, you'd need to choose the correct size needle. Plenty of examples on youtube. Cheers!
Good point Paul. Though if your going to use any form of maritine pokery-jiggery device ( fid, marline spike, or sail pricker) or paracord needle, I recommend Jig Pro Sho or Bored Paracord's brands of knotting tools. You can order a marline spike with 3 different gauges of paracord needles in them.
You can make your own quick and dirty paracord needle out of a long Chicago screw, by cutting the head off and filing it to a point, the chicago screw has those internal threads, so you can screw it onto the cord.
My brother is a sailor and carries an all stainless sailors knife with a nice fold out fid built into it, its a great knife, very handy, and affordable.
This design as bar stools with warm leather cord would be such a phenomenal centerpiece to a kitchen or bar. I love the woven top and the hexagon-to-circular legs. I’m definitely curious how the tension of that cord will hold up over time. Nice work!
My thought too. I'm a mor accomplished leatherworker than woodworker so the top won't be a problem but the woodpart .... Leather "strings" will stretch but wovwen straps with a stitch line along the sides or a fabric backing would work.
The only big downside to these stools is the time it takes to make them, it takes a lot longer to wind all that cordage around to make the seat than it does to make the seat from wood or anything else
When I was a kid we had this fantastic folding chair that had a back and seat that was made of woven cotton cord. I very literally wore that thing out and I was heart broken when my mom tossed it instead of letting me figure out how to rewrap it. It was really big, not like a standard folding chair. I could comfortably sit crosslegged in it or curl up a bit sideways and read. But you could then fold it up on a standard scissors fold and stick it behind a door. I'd love to see something like that again. And plans so I could recreate it myself!
As a textile artist who watches a lot of woodworking TH-cam, I’ve been hoping to see you and Emily collaborate in some piece that mixes textile and wood ever since watching those videos of you making Emily’s work station. I think mixed media is a lot of fun, so this was a real treat to watch. Other ideas that come to my mind is, like, weaving the paracord on cabinet doors or drawer fronts, or maybe like a macrame suspended in a wooden frame, or like extra large cross stitch details. There’s so many possibilities. I also noticed the scale stools in the background of the last video on the shelf, so seeing the thumbnail of the full scales on this video made it even more exciting lol Fantastic work as always. Very inspiring.
Hi SamL, Her name is Ashley, I had to check B4 leaving my comment Lol, Anyhow, I have a question for U. I need to add something that will "breathe" I guess, to some furniture projects. I've used metal grills, brass or aluminum, in the past. However, I have been considering some king of textile solution. An open weave fabric (like a speaker fabric), in a frame. Or something that I would weave, or purchase from someone who does that work, in panel form. I am hoping to get the utility of the needed airflow with more visual appeal than I get from stamped grills. Can you recommend any YT channels where I might find some inspiration? I have medical limitations & am homebound for long periods, so I watch a massive amount of TH-cam Premium. Mostly carpentry, WW or computer tech. SO, I don't get many art channels recommended in my feed, except for maybe digital art tutorials. I would welcome your advice, as a textile artist. You see, If I do a broad search for 'textile art' and weed through all the results, I risk confusing to the almighty YT algorithm, Lol. & I like that it knows what I like, since during challenging health episodes I may only feel up to hitting play once. Lol. If U have channel or playlist recommendations? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks~🛠Lisa♿
I really love that fact that you use miniature models to feel out the designs - compared to the convenience of CAD I feel like it's somewhat of an old school technique but honestly no 3D simulation is comparable to just feeling out the materials in real life. So cool that you do it!
Love this design, the legs are so beautiful. I like the transition from hexagonal to circular. The red one is my favourite, the colour itself, the different tones and the pattern Ashley made, it's gorgeous!!
Michael, your jig to make dowels on the table saw is gold. I bought your plans and made 28 - 1" white oak dowels for a white oak bed I just completed. The choice of saw blade definitely makes a difference on how much sanding is needed to get the dowel smooth. Your stools are great! Now you need to design one with a back rest. Cheers!
I was pretty sad about you rounding off the stool legs until I figured out they were tapered and you’d still have the hex at the top. Really cool. I love the solid color stools just as much as the two- and three-toned stools. Another stellar design!
So many awesome things in this video. First, TRIANGLES! I love triangle anything, bowls, seats, tables, purses (well, it's a pyramid, but still). I just love the shape. And then the weaving! I also crochet and knit, and I know what you mean about the meditative-ness of the work. Also, the turning of the legs, that was an awesome workaround. Just loved that. These look great! Can't wait to see what you do next with weaving.
here's a challenge for you. design a modern take on the 70's hanging chair, make the skeleton out of walnut, and weave the support structure so it's comfortable.
As always I love your design sense. These stools are awesome! I really like the weaving technique. Also, I really like how you discuss your process and use the modeling process to get the concept down. You show your whole process and it is inspiring! Thank you!
THANK YOU for showing how you designed/constructed the jig. It helped me understand what you were doing so much better than just holding it up after it's done. I'm sure that filming something that you're not sure is right ad that you're figuring out as you go is a lot of extra work so I wanted you to know that one person at least appreciated it. :)
i too am a para-cord junkie , i use para-cord for many things and outside also in the garden . i have been using the same para-cord outside for different stuff for about 6 years now , it is weather proof , it is unaffected by the blazing scorching sun , rain , wind , so being heat and cold tolerant is a big plus , its the only rope i ever used so far that is basically in-destructible !!! all others have failed in one or two years of service ! . for a few years i had been hanging on to a couple of really nice heavy duty folding chairs ,they were just frames , i didnt want to put the original plastic tubing back on them because it doesnt last , i wished i had seen this awesome video before i threw them away last year ! just think , i could have had a pair of folding chairs that would have lasted a life time !!! thank you both for this incredible video , the hard work and time really paid off in the end !!!
I know this vid has been out for nearly a year but here's a tip I learned when I was making a woven top footstool in Boy Scouts: trim up some cardboard pieces to tuck between the layers of woven cord. It has the effect of adding padding to the top, while also giving a degree of mutual support between all the strands so that the seat feels like a more cohesive unit. As you get past the 50% mark you can see where you can tuck cardboard in so it'll stay put and you can weave around it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I don't do any sort of woodwork, but I am fascinated by the furniture building process. I love the stools. What a great idea!
As always you took a simple idea and added your unique Alm-ness for an amazing result. I can't wait to see how you merge the weaving and patterned plywood.... Thanks for great content and inspiration!
Awesome design on the stools! I re-did the mesh seat on my office chair with a weave. I used 1/2" nylon mule tape (similar to ratchet strap material) and it turned out nicer than it was when the chair was new. You can get it in a variety of colors, and also different widths. I highly recommend looking into it for future projects, it's good stuff, super strong and easy to work with. Also handy stuff if you ever need to pull wire through conduit.
The taper of the legs is the best part. Btw, It's deff worth getting a paracord needle for tight weaves. 'Weavers of Eternity' channel has lots of ideas for paracord weaves & techniques. The Conquistador weave took me forever....
I think a bench with a top and maybe backrest like this could look pretty amazing. The dark wood and the bright cord make for a beautiful contrast. Nice work!
This is the first video of yours that I've seen, and I have to say, I absolutely love the ridiculously clever but simple solutions you come up with to make the project possible with the tools you have. You are exactly the kind of maker I aspire to be
I have to admit the "handwoven" part of your title caught my attention, and I did find that really interesting, but the Jig for rounding the legs as well as the joinery both made me say "wow! that's pretty cool!"
I wouldn't have thought that paracord could look so refined. I love it. I have had a "hankering" for many years to build a woven Danish cord bench. You have to purchase special Danish cord nails, as well as Danish cord (obviously), but the final result is beautiful with your choice of wood.
This is brilliant. Thanks for sharing this project with us!!! The thing about paracord is that it stretches almost twice it's length if given enough weight. That being said with rush weaving, rush does not stretch nearly as much. You will have to take that into account next time you attempt weaving a paracord seat.
I love them! Great job. An addition you could make is a table the same shape that fits over the top of each stack of 3. They could be used as end tables. Nesting stools and side table. 😊
I use old stuff to make new things. I had tons of scrap paracord and a 16" bike rim that I turned into a dream catcher for a friend of mine. I pulled all the paracord center cord out to make a really small strand. Over 300 feet I'm guessing. And 32 points instead of the usual 8. She loved it and offered to pay me. But I simply said, "you don't pay for a gift. You pay for something you want or need. A gift is not always those." She laughed and cried. Miss her every day. Next week I'll be making a shop stool out of the old fence that we replaced a couple days ago.
I crochet myself. At the end when you were explaining about it being difficult to get the cord through and used some kind of awl to help, I thought to myself that it would make so much more sense to use a crochet hook to pull the cord through
Your video reminded me of my MIL who is a weaver. She loves Hex Weaving- which is also called tr-axial weaving. You should look into it because you seem to keep going back to hexes in many of your patterns, and you can generate a hex versus a triangle. Lots of other comments were in here about drawer fronts etc, but you could easily blend it into some of your other work (even with your patterned ply if you choose).
Very nice result (as usual)! Tip for the next time: get a paracord needle (it is a hollow needel into which you stick (by burning it) the end of the paracord): it will really help you for the last row! Also keep the beginning of the paracord sticking out, so you can finish your work by a fisher knot between the beginning and the end.
Sweet! I like the black and white one best. I've been wanting to redo a chair seat for a while, even though it's a square I think I can figure out how to use this method to make a great design! Thanks for sharing this!
Bet you could lay those thin strips from the legs into a pretty cool design too! I absolutely love the way an artists brain works lol its such a beautiful process to watch so ty for sharing your art craft. It's really neat. Gonna check out a few vids for sure! Cool project!
Excellent work! I love watching your process, and the mistakes ;) Would love to see how this "stacked line" look interacts with your patterned plywood "stacked lines"... I detect a theme here... keep 'em coming!
tip: you can get 15 sheets of 165 arrow stickers (2475 total) for 10 bucks (i.e. 0.4c per) it helps a lot to mark what goes where, and not sticking well is a good thing cause you can remove it and just use a dab of acetone on a cotton cloth and it leaves no residue. same way, you can use colored letter sheets at around the same price to mark what goes where for more complicated pieces. (or get single color of the whole alphabet. or those vhs labelling sheets.)
maybe weave some kind of plant hanger or plant stand - something that could incorporate your plywood hex design somehow. or even book shelves with a woven element. the possibilities are endless! great job
Paracord is super useful. I usually have some on me or in a bag, so I can use it for carrying parcels, bottles or to fix stuff. You can get really far with a few knots, such as the parcel knot, the alpine butterfly knot, the bowline, the constictor knot etc. One thing I kinda wanted to make was a paracord hammock. But you need some sort of frame for it so you can make the net for the hammock. And then you'd need something to hang the hammock on - a wooden stand would work great for that, but it would need to be really sturdy.
Holy Crap I literally laughed out loud in astonishment when I saw your table top lathe setup! That is so amazing! I'll definitely be making myself one of those in the near future! The stool design is spectacular as well! Love your stuff!

My brother is a sailor and carries an all stainless sailors knife with a nice fold out fid built into it, its a great knife, very handy, and affordable.
@@joebonomono that's not a fid, but a similar tool called a marlinespike. So many terms in sailing. So much jargon.
@@paulheitkemper1559 I appreciate knowing this, I'll be sure a wager my brother on this. Thank you for a free meal Sir.

Leather "strings" will stretch but wovwen straps with a stitch line along the sides or a fabric backing would work.
This looks even better now that I’ve seen the video! Really nice work on the stools and editing!
Can’t wait to make videos half as good as yours 😉
I’m sold! Love love the idea of leather and these as a kitchen stool

Start drawing plans....
Totally, All projects start with ideas, then followed up by plans, then Prototype, just like he described.

You’re like the MacGyver of woodworking. Solutions whenever needed and your projects never fail. Love it!
Love this design, the legs are so beautiful. I like the transition from hexagonal to circular. The red one is my favourite, the colour itself, the different tones and the pattern Ashley made, it's gorgeous!!
Beautiful 21st century design with a Mid-Century Modern flair. The legs that transition gracefully from round to hex are a triumph.
I think these are probably my favourite of anything I've seen made. Ild love to see more. Taller bar stools. Chairs, foot rest/stool etc.

Your craftwork is what make your channel one of my favourites to watch.
Love your videos - I appreciate the candour and honesty you put in them, as opposed to editing out the mistakes.
My mind was blown by that lathe idea at 9:40 - 11:00! So smart! And does the angle so perfectly! 🤯🤯🤯
I really like the natural finishes you use in your projects, and the natural feel of a woven stool is great too.
THANK YOU for showing how you designed/constructed the jig. It helped me understand what you were doing so much better than just holding it up after it's done. I'm sure that filming something that you're not sure is right ad that you're figuring out as you go is a lot of extra work so I wanted you to know that one person at least appreciated it. :)
FINALLY! That underwater basket-weaving class I took in uni is gonna pay off!
That table saw lathe is very clever! very satisfying to watch too!
I'm loving the retro vibe of the stools and the different part of the house!
i too am a para-cord junkie , i use para-cord for many things and outside also in the garden . i have been using the same para-cord outside for different stuff for about 6 years now , it is weather proof , it is unaffected by the blazing scorching sun , rain , wind , so being heat and cold tolerant is a big plus , its the only rope i ever used so far that is basically in-destructible !!!
all others have failed in one or two years of service ! . for a few years i had been hanging on to a couple of really nice heavy duty folding chairs ,they were just frames , i didnt want to put the original plastic tubing back on them because it doesnt last , i wished i had seen this awesome video before i threw them away last year ! just think , i could have had a pair of folding chairs that would have lasted a life time !!!

The quality and craftsmanship blows my mind. Really cool an executed to perfection!!!
That is the most stunning stools I have ever seen.
Turning the wood like this is very creative^^
I like it
I think a bench with a top and maybe backrest like this could look pretty amazing. The dark wood and the bright cord make for a beautiful contrast.
Nice work!
3 legged stools are the best because they never wobble on uneven floors. You did an excellent job!
Alright I just have to say the way that you rounded the legs actually blew my mind. That is freaking cool!!!
this is great, they look so elegant yet playful and colorful! Great choice of colors, and I love the accidental dark red!
This is the first video of yours that I've seen, and I have to say, I absolutely love the ridiculously clever but simple solutions you come up with to make the project possible with the tools you have. You are exactly the kind of maker I aspire to be
Yep Ashley’s are the best 👍🏼 us fiber artists have to stick together !
Great build. Enjoy your honesty with any mistakes, shows that you human ..lol thks
I think it's really cool that you made your own lathe that's genius
Paracord is so versatile!! Great project! Very educational. Thank you!
I have to admit the "handwoven" part of your title caught my attention, and I did find that really interesting, but the Jig for rounding the legs as well as the joinery both made me say "wow! that's pretty cool!"

Honestly, as someone who has and loves his lathe, that sled looks great. Repeating legs can be a pain. That jig is a great idea
those colors are so much fun too! loved watching this with all that DIY jigs...especially loved the DIY power lathe!
Loved this video and I love the aesthetic of your home. So nice to see you use colour instead of everything being brown ❤️
This is brilliant. Thanks for sharing this project with us!!! The thing about paracord is that it stretches almost twice it's length if given enough weight. That being said with rush weaving, rush does not stretch nearly as much. You will have to take that into account next time you attempt weaving a paracord seat.
These are beautiful!! I absolutely love the look of both the red cord and the black and white cord stools best. Really nice work!
I love them! Great job. An addition you could make is a table the same shape that fits over the top of each stack of 3. They could be used as end tables. Nesting stools and side table. 😊
Have always loved the use of color in your projects and this is absolutely no exception!
Hexagons are the bestagons
I use old stuff to make new things. I had tons of scrap paracord and a 16" bike rim that I turned into a dream catcher for a friend of mine. I pulled all the paracord center cord out to make a really small strand. Over 300 feet I'm guessing. And 32 points instead of the usual 8. She loved it and offered to pay me. But I simply said, "you don't pay for a gift. You pay for something you want or need. A gift is not always those." She laughed and cried. Miss her every day. Next week I'll be making a shop stool out of the old fence that we replaced a couple days ago.
I'm sooooo impressed by the lathe jig😮
Thx for some really clever woodworking hacks. I love weaving rope seats too. 😊🥰
Those are so gorgeous !! Well done
Love all the different colors used and man, hard to go wrong with walnut 🤩
Best April stools day video of the year.
10:40 That jig is sick. I never would have thought of something like that.
That tuning jig is ingenious!
You would make BEAUTIFUL inkle / tablet weaving looms, to be sure!
That test piece would make a great stand for a rock specimen or a sculpture.
A woven room divider would be so awesome!
Love the stools. They look fabulous. Well done you two.
I crochet myself. At the end when you were explaining about it being difficult to get the cord through and used some kind of awl to help, I thought to myself that it would make so much more sense to use a crochet hook to pull the cord through
Really liked your "lathe" jig. Those legs look awesome.
Your video reminded me of my MIL who is a weaver. She loves Hex Weaving- which is also called tr-axial weaving. You should look into it because you seem to keep going back to hexes in many of your patterns, and you can generate a hex versus a triangle. Lots of other comments were in here about drawer fronts etc, but you could easily blend it into some of your other work (even with your patterned ply if you choose).
Very nice result (as usual)! Tip for the next time: get a paracord needle (it is a hollow needel into which you stick (by burning it) the end of the paracord): it will really help you for the last row! Also keep the beginning of the paracord sticking out, so you can finish your work by a fisher knot between the beginning and the end.
That tablesaw chair taper jig is dope, definitely going to
borrow that soon!
Lathe replacement is genius.
Like it! Invest in a fid. Some of them come with a “needle” that you screw the paracord into to be able to push it through tight spots.
Those stools looks awesome! Good job Michael
Sweet! I like the black and white one best. I've been wanting to redo a chair seat for a while, even though it's a square I think I can figure out how to use this method to make a great design! Thanks for sharing this!
Those seats look awesome!
I'm gonna check out that jig you made, very handy!
Nice project and good editing. Love the little doggie!
I preferred the hexagonal legs but your Heath Robinson lathe is fucking awesome.
😆
Not my knot not my problem 😂 cool project and great video as usual. Thanks man🤙🪚🤙
Bet you could lay those thin strips from the legs into a pretty cool design too! I absolutely love the way an artists brain works lol its such a beautiful process to watch so ty for sharing your art craft. It's really neat. Gonna check out a few vids for sure! Cool project!
if forgot to say i love your project, stools looks amazing!
the black and the red one are def my fave
Excellent work! I love watching your process, and the mistakes ;) Would love to see how this "stacked line" look interacts with your patterned plywood "stacked lines"... I detect a theme here... keep 'em coming!
tip: you can get 15 sheets of 165 arrow stickers (2475 total) for 10 bucks (i.e. 0.4c per) it helps a lot to mark what goes where, and not sticking well is a good thing cause you can remove it and just use a dab of acetone on a cotton cloth and it leaves no residue.
same way, you can use colored letter sheets at around the same price to mark what goes where for more complicated pieces. (or get single color of the whole alphabet. or those vhs labelling sheets.)
These stools really came out great ! So coooool !
definitely one of my favorite of your fun projects!
I do a lot of modeling using index cards and glue. Cut off two lines and that's a scale piece of plywood.
maybe weave some kind of plant hanger or plant stand - something that could incorporate your plywood hex design somehow. or even book shelves with a woven element. the possibilities are endless! great job
Paracord is super useful. I usually have some on me or in a bag, so I can use it for carrying parcels, bottles or to fix stuff.
You can get really far with a few knots, such as the parcel knot, the alpine butterfly knot, the bowline, the constictor knot etc.
One thing I kinda wanted to make was a paracord hammock. But you need some sort of frame for it so you can make the net for the hammock. And then you'd need something to hang the hammock on - a wooden stand would work great for that, but it would need to be really sturdy.
Great results. I love the red stool pattern, you can see the cool potential. It was interesting to see that leg jig for the table saw.
Love your work and your attitude towards even more!
Genius table saw lathe!!!!
Keep up the good work, keep the movies coming.
BTW I like your hat.

What a great job. So well done.
Paracord woven hammock would be pretty wicked
Love the stools. And your dog! 💕
incredible work! and very enjoyable to watch! thanks!
They really look fantastic. I wish my Hubby would make some .☺
Woven Adirondack chairs would be awesome, and think how much more comfy they would be than wood!
Holy Crap I literally laughed out loud in astonishment when I saw your table top lathe setup! That is so amazing! I'll definitely be making myself one of those in the near future!
The stool design is spectacular as well! Love your stuff!
I'm looking at doing something similar to this but a bench that's rectangular? Love the colours of these definitely inspired me to do mine!
