Making an Oak Sofa

[@rickroberts2198]

My highest compliments Sir! I am a retired cab/furniture maker. Usually I have criticism for something! None for you. I would suggest one thing - a grinder. Thank you for your good work.

[@danielgallegos1528]

You’re on another level! Great work.

[@IgorAnic9]

[@EduRiskalla]

Congrats... very good job!!!!

[@RoomiesGarage]

Great design....loved that you shared it for builders to replicate..... cheers

[@soundlessfootsteps]

Beautiful. While carving away material from the armrests how do you make sure both sides turn out the same?

[@LiamBarclayDesign]

Thanks! I worked on one side until it was pretty much finished first. I could then use it to mark reference lines on the other and made sure to keep comparing the two.

[@trellius27]

Obviously you hate 90 degree cuts! But you are an artist!

[@LiamBarclayDesign]

Haha tell me about it! Thanks!

[@حسينالاسدي-خ4و]

Amazing

[@12rochelle]

Wow. Love it.

[@ohmz55]

What an amazing piece! Especially as the tools you used were pretty ordinary. This just highlights the fact that you are a real craftsman and artist. I just wanted to ask, when shaping the armrest parts how do you begin to make sure they end up as a mirror image of each other? Can you measure such things or is it done by look and feel? Thanks

[@LiamBarclayDesign]

Thanks a lot!! I finished shaping one arm first then used it to measure and mark some reference lines onto the 2nd to use as guides.. But ye, mainly just a lot of comparing the two as you go. Guess you've got to accept they'll never be 100% symmetrical doing it by hand!

[@8945joseph]

Great video - how much did this cost to build in material?

[@LiamBarclayDesign]

Thanks. If I remember correctly.. it was ~£300 for the oak (planed/jointed by the timber yard) + £100 for the foam and £70 for fabric...

[@ehabelshami2687]

[@cutforsize]

Love it!

[@veronicaguzman8522]

😲😍😍😍beautiful......

[@jarnoverhoeven3118]

It looks great, but it does seem quite uncomfortable. Seat height is pretty low, and it seems horizontal, back is plumb? Nice job on the sculpting of the sides, and again, it does look great.

[@LiamBarclayDesign]

Hi, i find it very comfortable personally, not one for my Gran though ha... The seat height is low and is actually angled down by 5deg, with the backrest set at 95deg to the seat. Cheers!!

[@luksurias]

Amazing ppl.
