Happy to see the younger generation taking interest in becoming true craftsman. Also, it is great that you and father allow your craftsman the time required to do such an amazing work. You can't rush perfection. Those chairs look amazing.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much! We're definitely very proud of our guy's work, we wouldn't want them to rush something like this that needs so much care, and luckily since this was our third time working with this client, we had good communication and they were fine with us taking our time with these to ensure they got perfection, thanks again!

[@user-jchjkitv77896]

It's awesome to see you guys using hand tools in your amazing woodwork

[@dougk5456]

You made Sam Maloof proud!!! I have never tried to make a chair. Your work and skilled workers did a fantastic job!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much Doug!

[@MattGoing52]

I just came across your channel 2 days ago and have been binging on your videos. I am 65 and if I was a young person living in your area I would be begging for a job. Your guys work is incredible.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much! 😄🙏

[@HuggieBear39]

So good to see craftsmanship is still a thing in this day and age.

[@ralphthethang3907]

Not sure you can use the term craftsman. They are more operators and polishers than craftsman

[@EugeneOkumu]

I'll need to watch the table and door builds, but what a video to kick off 2024! Nicely done @black forest wood co.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much Eugene! I hope you enjoy the door and table videos as well!

[@tedberry2863]

Matching barstools to replace the ones next to the kitchen would be sweet. Get that repeat business!!

[@mikewhittington3451]

Those are amazing!!! That has to be $15k worth of chairs with the amount of work in them.

[@Sean-Jones-bluecheckmark]

Just seeing the thumbnail I thought those looked like Sam Maloof chairs. The inspiration for them is noticeable. Ya'll did a great job with the build of them, the table and door for that matter too.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much!

[@shanetripp6193]

I really like the look of the low back chairs. It looks very "clean" when they are all pushed in.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

I agree! Thanks so much!

[@user-vn6hi2bi3g]

I know that for a full function with auto tool changer a 5x10 5 axis CNC is going to cost at least US$160K but if you are doing this work over years and labor costs will continue to increase along with craftsmen to do the work will become scarce maybe with this level of custon joinery it may be time to make this huge capital commitment which would allow you to expand the services offered to your clients i.e. carved interior door sets exact replacement or additional chairs at a later date just by saving the CNC files for each order and in 5 years your company will be in an enviable position and you will look like a genius. The chairs are bespoke! Ray Stormont

[@knecht105]

Wow .. stunning, and even with the CNC, still a TON of work, well done !!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Yes it was! Thanks so much!

[@patrickhepworth9426]

I remember the door & the beautiful table. The chairs match in perfectly.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much Patrick!

[@kentboys5017]

Those chairs are amazing and are each a work of art. That is an amazing dining set. Thank you for sharing! Take care👍🏻

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

[@mikepetitt9624]

Those chairs are just beautiful! You guys are just amazing!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much Mike!

[@wtlloyd6039]

Finally! Someone using a narrow roller to coat edges in a glue-up. Why people use glue bottles and sticks or their fingers to spread glue (unevenly!) just puzzles me.

[@richardbenson4750]

Looks awesome but would definitely appreciated seeing the leather pad construction too. Love the chairs table for sure.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

We'll try and get Timeless to let us film in the future!

[@fredproctor6973]

Another job well done, you guys never cease to amaze me.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

[@terrycunningham7946]

The sanding made all the difference on those chairs

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

It definitely did!

Great video!!! Enjoyed watching the entire build - the door, table, and chairs. It's always a pleasure to watch craftsmen make difficult jobs look simple. Appreciate you and the team sharing your talent. Garrett, wish you would make a follow up video on the names you gave each chair, and why that particular name. Good job. Keep up the outstanding work!!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so, so much John! 😁 And haha, that's a good video idea 🤣

Now I know how much … I don’t know. Great job guys

[@roberta.brokaw3829]

OMG - the chairs a beautiful. I would almost think that the dowel pegs would have look great with a different species of wood - maybe the burl wood (just my thought). Another piece of artwork for a lucky customer from BFWC. Stay safe.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

I think that would look pretty cool! Thanks so much!

[@TheTranq]

They’re beautiful chairs

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks so much!

[@MattGoing52]

You and your team are so talented. I was just wondering if you or your team ever built a personal piece for themselves and if so I think it would be cool to do a video on their personal projects that they have built.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Dylan just finished building a table for his place! I'm not sure how much he filmed of it but if there's enough content we could do a video on it!

[@jeffcottrell4090]

Table is awesome but I like the chairs even better

[@barry.w.christie]

I'm not a snob, I don't care how something is done, purely by hand, purely by CNC, a mixture of both ... what matters is the end result ... the chairs are stunning, simple as that 👍 There were a few moments during the round over process using the router where the piece was lifted up off the surface only to then come back down again, a bit of a shaking my head moment ... but no one is perfect and they seemed to turn out pretty good 😀

[@CreatIdea1]

very good 😊❤

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you!

[@soupistasty5]

It would be so interesting to see a package of chairs like this, say a set of 6 for a typical dining room get made up in 2 contrasting ways - 1/2 with screws for reinforcement, 1/2 without. Then, track the wear n' tear over the years. Not a strictly scientific experiment, but it would be fascinating to see the same chairs/ same wood/ same glue/ same craftsmen/shop - and track if the added strength of screws made any real world difference

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

That would be pretty interesting!

[@fablabifurniture643]

Your designs looks really wonderful... I can see that your processes are very meticulous and you try to make the whole process have a good finish. Congratulations for your job and don't forget follow us too...👍🧡

[@waterchickenwoodworxbydanb42]

Very cool guys ,fantastic work

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks so much!

[@eugenetrollip751]

Beautiful match to the table!. Have you done the bar chairs as well?

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

No we didn't, we just matched the apolestry to them so everything would go together well!

[@jumpingjacks5558]

Great video. How many different styles of chairs does Black Forest make? You do make and deliver more tables in the USA or Canada? Due you steam the wood and put them in molds or do you just let the router do it? Again, thanks so much for posting this video.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

We're open to trying to make pretty much anything our clients request, I think we've made 4 or 5 different styles now. I think it's about equal between the 2 countries, but for awhile we were getting way more US orders than Canadian ones. We did not steam the wood for this, we just left the work to the routers and other than tools. Thanks for watching!

[@jumpingjacks5558]

Thank you for responding. @@BlackForestWoodCo

[@ashishsawant4113]

How do u attached leather seat on chair

[@bobbyb1607]

Very nice chairs. But I'm a little confused, routers and router tables are considered hand tools that require manual labor? So if the operator has to do anything other than run a cnc program it's extra work?

[@s3audi2009]

When you have the glue overflow.. (even after it's cleaned off) how do you prevent that glue from that was on the wood from preventing the finish from setting in ?

[@s3audi2009]

Besides heavy sanding

[@spirittimber]

Working hours/ chair ? Price/ chair ? Material price ?

[@bradvicam]

Having spent a day with Sam in his shop I can assure you that there was no CNC machinery there.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Haha didn't think so! And that's so cool you got to spend a day with him!

[@user-ls2pf1dv9d]

Добротно 🐻

[@user-ln8yd9dn3i]

what are the dimensions of the chair?

[@Franco4590]

Sam Maloof said he wanted his chairs to be touched/felt. You can't help caressing it. Not only visual.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Well, I think we accomplished that! 😁

[@constantinosschinas4503]

You don't need a 5-axis machine for these leg. You just need 2 setups of each leg. 3-Axis is perfectly ok in this case.

[@GrandizerGo]

I think it would have looked really nice if the chair back rests were also partially resin bringing the same base color in to match the table.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

That would be cool! But this client was after a solid-wood look, but that's something we would love to do in the future!

[@user-tx7iu2en8v]

Доброго дня дайте будь ласка розміри кожної деталі. Я хочу зробити такий стілець своїми руками. З повагою Роман.

[@MattMuirhead]

Looks good... but you can REALLY tell a lot of the team doesn't have a lot of experience on the table saw r routing and shaping without the use of CNC lol. Ya boys had me worried a few times...

[@daveklein2826]

A rookie knows more than you ....bet to love being a recliner wannabe professional

[@MattMuirhead]

@@daveklein2826 Ahhh... you have it all worked out. I guess it's too hard to wrap your head around someone with experience working in high end custom cabinet shops who builds furniture and other custom wood projects might happen to watch other wood channels in their spare time. Lighten up, Francis... you must be an only child you never got a friendly ribbing.

[@bvt48230]

But your seat does not follow Maloof's method of five separate boards joined so that the thickness is preserved through the scooped out seat section.....

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

They're just inspired look-wise, they're not made by his exact technique 😊

[@paulfowler3416]

Beautiful chairs…a lot of person hours of work….suspect the final cost of this package is a bit eye watering!

[@mathbrown9099]

This “walnut” chair looks so like Moeller Fabrik-Aarhus, DK. Of course his design is classic and made by hand-no CNCs in the fifties and sixties. Do you have rights from the designer/factory?

[@leshsl4482]

Why you pull out the brush from the young fella? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Haha, you have to work really fast during glue ups and it was one of Garett's first door glue ups so he was moving a little too slow, so it looked rude but Lezchk was just trying to make sure the glue up went smoothly

That leather color is boring, specially for that dining room. Cool chairs though
