[@ryangrissom3532]

Jordan is really getting comfortable. His tricks and tips were great in this video compared to previous 3 level videos. Especially for a beginner to learn some new stuff

[@jordanheider2662]

Appreciate it!

[@alfonsoPina]

I can be completely honest and say I've been binge watching these guys. I really like this beginner, intermediate and pro level builds

[@rmr5044]

The beginner one seems the most modern looking. With just a bit more time spent on it, it would easily fit the aesthetics of some modern uber-expensive home

[@taliamon]

John, "Jordan, you're doing the beginner object! Get to it!" Also John, "Jordan, get Miss Piggy running and CNC the templates Sam and I need to look awesome!" Are we *sure* Jordan's the "beginner" here?

[@jordanheider2662]

Glad someone sees what really goes on

[@branonedwards7128]

Jordan is the beginner because Sam and John COULD do it by hand, but they hired the kid to do tech stuff. He gets payed to do the computer work

[@peterpetersen3242]

Jordan, Kid, Beginner...i only see the CNC Cowboy

[@jordanheider2662]

@@branonedwards7128 it's more than just pressing a button

[@sharkz401]

So you want to swap jordan with sam or john?

[@tcat210]

I really like how Jordan uses more DIY/Hobbyist tools for his build, get a better idea of what you can accomplish with the different levels of tools you may have.

[@deanwylie9893]

Never in my life have I enjoyed watching men play with their wood. Thank you gentleman for this entertaining video and for showing us what a real professional can do with their wood.

[@michaelm077]

All levels look great, more Bear in future videos, he was the real star today.

[@seancampbell2456]

Jordan doesn't get to do templates on his build but hes the one who makes the templates for the other two

[@timthompson7205]

Are you Jordan’s boyfriend? Is this a gay rights thing? Are you a gay rights activist?

[@jordanheider2662]

@@timthompson7205 you jealous?

[@timthompson7205]

[@ajayala5992]

IMO the rocking chair is a game changer. Lots of other plans out there just sit flat, comfort level and selling value go way up! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@albertj2459]

Oh the irony of the "expert" using the "beginners" CNC skills to make the rocking chair look good 😅

[@toml.6884]

if jordan wasnt in these videos i wouldnt watch them lol

[@jordanheider2662]

🥲 that hit me right in the feels. Made my day

[@loopinnerthe]

Jordan wins it for sheer simplicity clean lines and easy buildness. Sam wins it for great looks super sexy curves and clean execution. John wins it for sheer pomp and brass. Great vid, great variety, no winners or losers.

[@joshweaver8806]

Am I the only one who likes the beginner best and the expert least?

[@johnnysheffield8523]

I think it’s based on the skill not the looks

[@joshweaver8806]

@@johnnysheffield8523 oh I know. And the expert skill level is definitely way more advanced. I just thought it funny, the one that’d take least time to make was the one I’d like to have the most.

[@tjf8396]

Amazing chairs! Also we need more bear!!!!!!

[@SycsFinest]

Love that you guys are offering up the CNC plans and templates. Very cool. Great summer time build.

[@emmabingham544]

Could you do a 3 Levels of… outdoor dining tables? Great job on these chairs, I love this 3 Levels series.

[@augustineschaefer5522]

Thank you for the ‘kids can try this’ baby steps and the elevated diy versions!

[@robm9772]

I’m actually building the Rockler Adirondack chairs right now. I also had to laminate some 3/4 cedar together for the structural parts. Glad to know it wasn’t a dumb idea.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Love this video series boys. Very nice job and video. All 3 turned out very well. Hopefully you all get good use out of this summer. Can't wait to see ur next videos. Hopefully many more in this series. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work boys. Keep making. God bless.

[@douglasbedini9342]

Love watching these guys build things and this is one of my favorite series of videos. It'd be interesting to see them do 3 levels of birdhouses and see how creative the guys could be based on each skill level....but without using the cnc.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Nice chairs! Great video!

[@georgeburnham2316]

3 levels of Awesome Sauce! Thanks Guys, these 3 level videos are my favourite of your series 👌

[@bradleyhall2971]

Like them all. But all are a fail. No one put a place to hold your glass for beer or whiskey. Damn it Jordan, John and Sam.

[@chrisnorwood2302]

Good looking chairs, but you are correct! We need cupholders!!!

[@grahamredfern8969]

Jordan wins that one.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, guys! 😃 I really loved the chairs! Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊

[@mlubecke]

♥️♥️♥️ Bear !

[@TheBlueMuzzy]

Daaamn. I have the ultimate flush trim bit, cleaned and sharp as hell, but it STILL burns maple. You chewed through those curves with NO burning issue. So good.

[@SpatialDragon]

I like the middle one. I am surprised you did not follow a more traditional form, but then again, it is you. They all work.

[@coyotewacker]

Sam’s Chair Wins ,sry John ,,,lol

[@BeastOfSoda]

I find it hilarious how the different sizes of the chairs make them look like they belong to the three little bears. Great results as always.

[@malonecustomdesigns]

Intermediate was the real winner here. But wow, that Pro chair is huge!!! lol

[@Zamboni-0805]

And heavy...

[@ktillers4502]

The video I have been waiting for! Keep up the great work boys!!

[@imadeit]

It’s the coolest time of the week, whenn Malecki team is on air with new stuff!:)

[@territ1231]

Love all your project videos!

[@briturner11]

Jordan's section is getting super good.

[@rsa.crabguy7583]

I think the one thing that stood out the most to me about all 3 chairs was the back, near where the head/shoulders would rest. For that I'd have loved to see those corners softened with 45's on each side, but that's just something i'll have to do when I decide to make one for myself!

[@alexdixon6518]

am I the only one who liked Jordan's the best? just the minimalist design looks so good.

[@Daphoid]

We've got a pair of these, but with built in foot rests. Love them. I am amused, in Canada (or at least in Ontario) we call them Muskoka chairs, named after the large region of cottage country these are typically found up here.

[@7devilfurb]

In process of building the intermediate ones from the plans I got from you! Would be so much easier with a template and bandsaw but my jigsaw got the job done! Thank you so much for the video! Love em!

[@budfry8406]

Awesome chairs, really like the rocker John, but I’d have to go with Sams personally!! But thanks for the great video!!

[@arshiyarimi333]

Fantastic work❤️ I really love the chair❤️

[@NerdyFamily]

The intermediate one was my favorite

[@DSqu4red.]

Jordan at the end had some real Mike Wazowski vibes, getting covered by the Other Video tiles

[@jordanheider2662]

Literally every time

[@TheWoodFly]

First +1 on your multi-builds and you listened to me from the last one: proper screws in the pocket holes (pan heads) and you used the trick of a marking block to mark and cut the angle on the back feet of the beginning build - NICE!. Second: If you CNC the templates, you can just as well CNC the parts - with the exception stated for wasting less wood by using the band saw. Third: "Tiny little head." Too funny - that almost slipped by! Fourth: Real +1 for the sprayable UV resistant epoxy. That's a really good upgrade from most outdoor finishes. Would be good to see what these look like after a year of exposure. Nice job guys!

[@bcreationz8618]

Intermediate was the best design by far. Cool video boys!!

[@SxmTech101]

Can't wait for the next one

[@Mike-In-O-Town]

Get with the program...Bear needs a couple treats!

[@j1ones11282]

Thought Jordan was going to say all you need is this dog😁

Great works lads keep on trucking

[@zxanderford6810]

You guys are great love your show

[@jordanthefsgamer1170]

thank you

[@jaredharrington24]

All look awesome. But the beginner still looks the best. 🤟

[@bobbyfowler7319]

Love your "levels" shows!

[@bg2608ret]

Another good video guys, lol keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@bchantharath]

i appreciate the craft & detail behind the advanced versions, but prefer the simple design of the beginner.

[@cswatson4823]

They all damn good.

[@michaelkvalvik7358]

These vids sure do bring me down a notch... not sure I could even build the intermediate...

[@omnicrop9175]

My high-school grade 11 project was the exact same as the intermediate but with a semi circle cut on the top-backing for more of a head rest look

[@brianscott3021]

It just seems like the intermediate is always my favorite

[@jimblack6733]

Nice chair build you guys! Jordan is really getting the hang of it…

[@c.a.g.1977]

Really like the intermediate one. Jordan did a great job in explaining what he was doing - I see progress!

[@markroper9269]

Now we know the importance of pre-drilling screws and using trim screws and not drywall screws on the right side of the chair. :P Keep learning guys!! Great video!

[@rhidoykhan9422]

Excellent

[@gregmize01]

Dang they're all nice!

Yooooooo!!! This is dope.

[@yummycooking450]

oh good job

[@KJfreshh69]

Beginner chair looks the best anyway

[@jamesbarros950]

In the beginner chair, I’ve got the pockethole jig he has. It’s $15 at Rockler (or wherever) and totally worth it

[@rusticbalancebymarcus]

Awesome vid, don't know why I was expecting the tiktok loop

[@jeffyerkes5777]

Love the videos you make. I would like to know how challenging it would be for you to make a glider rocking chair? Maybe do a video on you making one I feel like it would be a challenge.

[@Ashe_Fenrir]

WELL AXCTHUALLY shou sugi ban also stops them soab bugs from messin with your outdoor furniture (along with moisture, rot, and UV resistance). Siiiiick builds lately - ya'll keep making a video about the work I need to do right before I do it - that's like 4 series in a row... other than the kayak but my pool is pretty big...

[@canadiannavywife434]

Great video. I want to challenge your creative juices to make a chair like this but that is portable for the campers in our lives... I have no clue how it could be done...so I give you this.... Hugs from Esquimalt

[@shawndanahey5499]

Nice pens shirt!

[@LeavirtuS]

I really liked your video

Hey John and Team, what material do you use for your template to router which?

[@angrymater13la]

Why the Hell did I jump when John yelled "HEY" in the beginning lmao

[@Brian_Tylor]

Thats a pretty Tenacious cut in you did there at 11:02

[@micaweber9000]

If your bandsaw is not that good, you should look into the Harvey. It's top notch! i have one and i love it

[@bjspyder4148]

Sam's is the closest to the traditional form. Reminds me of summer at camp. I'd like to see the arms of the rocker a little higher relative to the seat.

[@brandt520]

Sam - our dog likes to go places and do things, and is also used to sitting in the yard watching me do work. Give us a shout, we’ll be happy to supervise your next video.

[@herbertbrown9076]

Hello have you built any pantry or entry doors?

[@michaeldonley3478]

Thanks for my awesome shirts

[@tg4cardinals357]

John I’m curious, how long have you been doing woodworking? Also, how did you learn everything you know? Sam and Jordan too if you feel like sharing

[@jordanmeizlik5111]

Sho sugi ban shrinks the pores in the wood and makes it more water resistant

[@WonderfulSkills]

Good

[@Zamboni-0805]

Love your channel, but most intermediate woodworkers do not have a CNC to cut out patterns. Just saying Regardless, my favorite was Sam's....The Intermediate Build

After you burned the wood, did you clean it off or anything before coating it?? LOOKS FREAKING AWESOME by the way!!! Lol
