You have once again proved why you are the master reclaimed and upcycling. Never have I ever seen such junk turned into usable art. This would make a great advertisement for a company like Netflix or Hulu.
HA! Dish Network was the pop-up advert when I watched! Loved the flickering BW TV interspersed throughout! Great upcycle prototyping, in my humble judgment! You nailed it!
+Shaun Meighan Woodworking months ago my buddy donny asked me if i wanted the satellite off his roof and shortly after i had the idea of sitting in them and watching tv. i'm so glad i FINALLY got that off my list ;-)
Tim - I absolutely love this - I have always loved the inspiration for this piece, and you nailed it man... ...and the TV in the background of the shots, makes me long for the days of rabbit ear antennas :)
Cool concept chair, my one critique is you need to attach those cushions so they don't slide around on those smooth dishes. I do think it would make a funny anti-dish TV commercial lol.
This is really awesome. This could ba a production line of furniture... oh, well over here everybody needs a new disc because of the double satellite HDTV... lot's of them around.. I'm getting a new one to so now.. I'm even more inspired to do something with it (and not make it into a solar cooker) Great Project Tim!!
Great idea man. I've been wondering what you were going to do after you first mentioned the dishes on the pod. By the amount of likes this video is getting I would have to say your chair is getting a great "reception". Yes I went there.
"What's that thing way up there Dad?" "That's the upcycling, salvaging and reclaiming maker bar. Every time someone gets near it, Tim Sway raises it some more." Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for the inspiration Tim. Again.
Wow that was worth the wait!!! No wonder you were excited about it... Really cool idea and it came out great! Also I noticed a change in your editing style for this one and it was really well done!
+Indiana Wood Time Jones there is so much to show in this build i couldn't spend a lot of time on any of it, so i went for just overview/art over substance. thanks man
That chair looks really comfortable. Nice job on the video too man great editing. When Jimmy drops off your table saw he should take the chair back with him and have his girlfriend Taylor do up the cushions in leather. I'm not ragging on your upholstery skills I just want to see what Taylor could do with them. I could totally see these on Etsy.
+Dan The Maker Man upholstery is the weak link on this. I didn't really finish it because i'm not sure how i want it to be, so i just did what i did. cheers man!
Tim! This is awesome man. I had really been trying to figure out what the heck you'd be making out of the four satellite dishes ever since you brought it up on your Reclaimed Audio podcast, and I must say, this thing turned out fantastic. Really inspiring for me, great job
tim sway and a great inspiration for your son lets him know that dreams can become reality they're not just dreams..thats what i tell my daughter..if u can think or dream it ,,,it can really happen .:]
tim sway since you said in podcast, you don't want to share your idea of stuff from dishes, I start to think what it could be. And when I looked to pictures of huge amount of it and photo of Vance standing in front of one of them I thought that it would be chairs. I imagine definitely a different construction, but yours is much more interesting :)
+Raúl Blanco (White woodworks) oh yea? i'd love to see pics of it. I have a vintage eames in my home (i got it for free bc i'm lucky!) and it is an amazing piece.
+tim sway you're indeed one lucky guy, it's a truly awesome piece. I only have a couple of pics of the one I made plus.google.com/+RaúlBlancoWhitewoodworks/posts/hu2iySH1R2R
Genius my brother pure genius that is so sweet awesome idea unbelievable bravo bravo that is probably the ultimate ups cycle but I guess it would be up cycle recycle but or reuse I'm sorry but amazing
As a satellite dish collector I am so offended that you would destroy these historic treasures. In all seriousness though, this is a super creative and inspiring project. Nice reveal (after months and months of podcast buildup).
la verdad esto es uno de lo pocos articulos que no me gusta no lo veo muy bien acabado. el resto que e visto por ahora son geniales. gracias por tus videos, saludos desde ctalunya españa
Whats on tv? It can withstand the deathray sent out by satellites, but can they survive the Matthias Wandel Stress Test? Interesting project! You might want to see if you can reclaim the even more old fashioned antennas people used to have before.
+Willem Kossen one of the dish donors asked me if i wanted his antenna, too. i told him sure! he lives near the farm house, so i told him to give it to jimmy diresta to bring to me. ha ha ha!
+Art Connolly i have a couple of the old imacs i was thinking about doing that with, then i figured the whole pleasure of the tablet is it's way smaller than an imac, so... i don't know what i'm going to do with it. i kinda like having it around as is... ;-)
How many times did you have to subscribe and cancel to your satellite provider? Just kidding, I know where you got these from! I love the look of the chair! Awesome reuse of the dishes.
+Marc Schaefermeyer half the houses around here have two or three of these things on their roof. I think that's common. While i made this to have fun, perhaps i also found a viable solution for reusing the? no, probably not ;-)
Was the purple noodle a nod to Prince? Cool build as always. I need to get back to making....but life keeps getting in the way. 😕 Thanks for the inspiration. 👍🏽👊🏽 Cheers!
+Andres Salas i would love to say yes it was an intentional nod to prince, but no, it wasn't... i'll instead say it was a subliminal one. go make a chair man!
awesome! are you on instagram? i posted a pic, i have a fender rhodes and a road case that were once owned by prince. has his old logo on the case. rip
Looks like your watching junk pile o Matic . That guy always has the annoying TV static in his videos LOL. Nice chair . When do they go into production ?
You have once again proved why you are the master reclaimed and upcycling. Never have I ever seen such junk turned into usable art. This would make a great advertisement for a company like Netflix or Hulu.
+Trustin Timber find someone in marketing who will return my calls or messages...
HA! Dish Network was the pop-up advert when I watched!
Loved the flickering BW TV interspersed throughout! Great upcycle prototyping, in my humble judgment! You nailed it!
+Rob Harrod THAT'S AWESOME! ha ha ha! thank you very much

Holy crap, this is awesome. Good job!
+Mike's DIY Projects & More thanks man. i appreciate it
a good idea for use of old satelite. Its better than to throw them away. Perfect garden furniture
+Jan-Roar Bernhardsen cheers. just the ottoman part is a pretty simple build and would indeed make a nice outdoor stool.
Tim! Wow! I can't believe you saw those dishes and thought, "chairs"! Great video, great project!
+My Garage Woodshop what else would you think, crappy television? ;-)
Watching TV in a satellite dish chair!! I love it!
+Shaun Meighan Woodworking months ago my buddy donny asked me if i wanted the satellite off his roof and shortly after i had the idea of sitting in them and watching tv. i'm so glad i FINALLY got that off my list ;-)
Awesome build man. Totally tweeted this to Netflix!
+McCauley's Design ha ha! great! let's spam them ;-)
I love projects that allow you to instantly relax when you are done. Good job
+Muddy Fences absolutely! thanks man.
Crazy, but awesome, concept! Never would have thought to make a chair from satellite dish parts.
i'd love to do this again, knowing what I know after the first. but probably never will.
Awesome Chair, good job.
Thanks man!!
Love it! now that is a good use for those!

+Claterpult Woodshop thanks. it actually is! i would change the geometry a little if i do it again, but it's close to perfect.
Incredible!!!Really awesome, great design....

I've been waiting for what you were doing with the satellite dishes, that is really cool!
thanks Matt!
Tim - I absolutely love this - I have always loved the inspiration for this piece, and you nailed it man... ...and the TV in the background of the shots, makes me long for the days of rabbit ear antennas :)
+David Macauley ha ha! the tv is where the sponsor's logo is supposed to be superimposed ;)
Is that you, Carol Anne? They're here.........Don't go into the light, Tim!
Good job on the chair btw.
+HandyAnj HAHA! thanks man ;-)
nice work, Tim!

They came out sick brother.
+Art Connolly thanks
I love the abstraction of the eames chair. Spot on Tim. I got no traction for you at YT... I'm connected to the wrong group there...
+Greg's Garage cheers bro. thanks for trying!
Nice work Tim I was wondering since you started talking about the satellite dishes what you would make! What a great idea!
+BCdesign thanks. i wanted it to be a total surprise - something no one would expect.
This is great on so many levels!
+Awesome Wood Things thanks buddy.
Cool concept chair, my one critique is you need to attach those cushions so they don't slide around on those smooth dishes. I do think it would make a funny anti-dish TV commercial lol.
The cushions suck. They could be done better a million ways. thanks!
This is freaking awesome!
+Aaron Jensen thanks aaron!
awesome! happy to finally see this project after such a long time hearing about it every week ;)
+Maxime Lalonde i know, sorry i've been droning on about it. i'm done now!
Awesome video. Probably my favorite upcycle that you have ever done. That's a great name btw ;)
+Tim Merkel thanks tim!
This is really awesome. This could ba a production line of furniture... oh, well over here everybody needs a new disc because of the double satellite HDTV... lot's of them around.. I'm getting a new one to so now.. I'm even more inspired to do something with it (and not make it into a solar cooker) Great Project Tim!!
+Not Just Sawdust it's quite a decent hunk of steel - with great hardware. do something cool
Dude. DUDE! DOoooooooOOOOooD!!!
+Michael Lawing DOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
Great idea man. I've been wondering what you were going to do after you first mentioned the dishes on the pod. By the amount of likes this video is getting I would have to say your chair is getting a great "reception". Yes I went there.
hahahaha! funny. thanks for sticking it out :)
Brilliant idea man!
+McGinn's WoodShop thanks bro.
"What's that thing way up there Dad?"
"That's the upcycling, salvaging and reclaiming maker bar. Every time someone gets near it, Tim Sway raises it some more."
Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for the inspiration Tim. Again.
+Richard Martin wow. this was a great comment. it took me a minute to figure it out! ha ha.
You're a very clever guy!
+Lucie Giles thank you lucie
LOL this was awesome!
+Al Smith thanks al!!!
Extremely clever.
+Black Widow Woodworks thanks cory
Home run .
+David Waelder thanks buddy.
Wow that was worth the wait!!! No wonder you were excited about it... Really cool idea and it came out great! Also I noticed a change in your editing style for this one and it was really well done!
+Indiana Wood Time Jones there is so much to show in this build i couldn't spend a lot of time on any of it, so i went for just overview/art over substance. thanks man
That's cool!
+Lloyd Snyder thanks lloyd.
That chair looks really comfortable. Nice job on the video too man great editing. When Jimmy drops off your table saw he should take the chair back with him and have his girlfriend Taylor do up the cushions in leather. I'm not ragging on your upholstery skills I just want to see what Taylor could do with them. I could totally see these on Etsy.
+Dan The Maker Man upholstery is the weak link on this. I didn't really finish it because i'm not sure how i want it to be, so i just did what i did. cheers man!
Tim! This is awesome man. I had really been trying to figure out what the heck you'd be making out of the four satellite dishes ever since you brought it up on your Reclaimed Audio podcast, and I must say, this thing turned out fantastic. Really inspiring for me, great job

+TJ'S WOODWORKING SHOP thank you amigo!
No problem mi amigo lol :)
Great thanxs.
the build itself is just insane, but to be honest - when I saw your Instagram picture with whole bunch of dishes, I immediately thought about chair)
really?! more proof we are cut from the same cloth, my friend. you are the first to say that!!
tim sway since you said in podcast, you don't want to share your idea of stuff from dishes, I start to think what it could be. And when I looked to pictures of huge amount of it and photo of Vance standing in front of one of them I thought that it would be chairs. I imagine definitely a different construction, but yours is much more interesting :)
i would like to make a set of bar stools from them, too ;-)
love it!
+Michael Hughes thank you michael
It looks awesome dude! A few months back I made a replica for a client, of the same lounge chair and onto you got your inspiration from
+Raúl Blanco (White woodworks) oh yea? i'd love to see pics of it. I have a vintage eames in my home (i got it for free bc i'm lucky!) and it is an amazing piece.
+tim sway you're indeed one lucky guy, it's a truly awesome piece. I only have a couple of pics of the one I made plus.google.com/+RaúlBlancoWhitewoodworks/posts/hu2iySH1R2R

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! Oh wait you can't, you probably made a guitar out of it or something. Dude that's amazing! Great work
+July With Fitz ha ha! thanks howie

+jp woodwork thank you!
As a satellite dish collector I am so offended that you would destroy these historic treasures. In all seriousness though, this is a super creative and inspiring project. Nice reveal (after months and months of podcast buildup).
+49cfr HAHAHAHAHA! i gotta get at least one dish troll ;-)
Like always great project keepup the good work. Can you make one out of pallet wood?
+noel rivera make a satellite out of pallets or a chair? i imagine i could do either ;-)
Brilliant vision, Bad A$$ build Tim. Well worth the wait! I really enjoy your podcast as well. Are you guys gonna keep Lutz?
+Joe Bass thank you! we'll keep him for another week at least ... :)
just started binge listening to your podcast. is this the satellite dish idea? I'm assuming so...
MYHANDSGALLERY haha! Yes it is. I'm sure I'll mention it in a few more episodes. Thanks for listening and watching.
I am so proud to call you friend.
That is all.
+William Lutes do i have to call you the same? i have some other words i'd prefer to use... ;-p
+tim sway like AWESOMESAUCE.....Brilliant.....exceptional.......
Those antennas might help with that static if you use them right. Just sayin... Lol great work Tim!
+Bruce Allen i did it all wrong ;-)
la verdad esto es uno de lo pocos articulos que no me gusta no lo veo muy bien acabado. el resto que e visto por ahora son geniales. gracias por tus videos, saludos desde ctalunya españa
This was a prototype/idea and I kind of gave up on the upholstery part of it as I couldn't get the support I was seeking. Very good eye!
Very cool, it is a shame I only have one old one on my roof, but on the upside I can make an end table or stool :)
+woodturningjohn yes. the ottoman/stool part is quite simple to make and pretty darn useable. do it!
Whats on tv?
It can withstand the deathray sent out by satellites, but can they survive the Matthias Wandel Stress Test?
Interesting project! You might want to see if you can reclaim the even more old fashioned antennas people used to have before.
+Willem Kossen one of the dish donors asked me if i wanted his antenna, too. i told him sure! he lives near the farm house, so i told him to give it to jimmy diresta to bring to me. ha ha ha!
Best repurpose ever >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> EVER
+Michael Sepe thank you!!
Awesome job Mr Sway. Did you consider contacting a non dish company line xfinity? I would have thought they would love it.
+David Bishop that's who i was trying to get to: netflix, hulu, youtube... the idea being old school TV is dead.
Sorry it didnt work out. Id keep trying it and future ideas just like it. Great work my friend.
You should turn that TV into an iPad or tablet holder. that would look so cool
+Art Connolly i have a couple of the old imacs i was thinking about doing that with, then i figured the whole pleasure of the tablet is it's way smaller than an imac, so... i don't know what i'm going to do with it. i kinda like having it around as is... ;-)
Great build . . . where do you find old satelite dishes?
just about every roof in my part of America has one or more, and most of them aren't getting used.
+tim sway Thanks, I have an idea to using those disks to make a solar heater for my pool.
How many times did you have to subscribe and cancel to your satellite provider? Just kidding, I know where you got these from! I love the look of the chair! Awesome reuse of the dishes.
+Marc Schaefermeyer half the houses around here have two or three of these things on their roof. I think that's common. While i made this to have fun, perhaps i also found a viable solution for reusing the? no, probably not ;-)
+tim sway haha! I'd buy one but then it would get thrown out because I never sit in it! I love your videos and your thinking and inspirations!
Was the purple noodle a nod to Prince? Cool build as always. I need to get back to making....but life keeps getting in the way. 😕 Thanks for the inspiration. 👍🏽👊🏽 Cheers!
+Andres Salas i would love to say yes it was an intentional nod to prince, but no, it wasn't... i'll instead say it was a subliminal one. go make a chair man!
tim sway honestly the little bit of purple inspired me to upcycle in honor of the purple one. Will keep you posted...cheers!
awesome! are you on instagram? i posted a pic, i have a fender rhodes and a road case that were once owned by prince. has his old logo on the case. rip
tim sway actually, I just signed up. It takes awhile to teach this old dog new tricks! I'll check it out for sure!
so, the dishes are steel? I always assumed thy where made of aluminum.
Looks like your watching junk pile o Matic . That guy always has the annoying TV static in his videos LOL. Nice chair . When do they go into production ?
haha! yes. I "channelled" your static :)
LOL! Puns !
I meant a chair with pallet wood.
+noel rivera i have, but i don't think i have any videos of them. i'll add it to the list ;-)
Hahah genius
+Mrcaffinebean :) thank you
+tim sway I hope you iterate on this design a few more times, I think it would be an awesome office chair.
yea and great bar stools! maybe i'll go collecting some more ;-)
