Can you better an IKEA Chair?

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Great build and video Suj, the leather strip really does give it a edge. Love the extra video at the end, your front room is stunning mate. Thanks for sharing your experience with us and excepting the #KPWBCC2020 😊

[@SujMenon]

Thanks a lot Karl 🙏 😁and extra thanks for organising this build. Enjoyed it 👍 😊

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Beautiful looking chair 😍 the leather strip is a nice detail 👌

[@SujMenon]

Thanks Phill 👍😁

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Nice little project, well done Suj 👍

[@SujMenon]

Thanks a lot Keith 👍😁 Keep on rocking (or rolling) 😀

[@woodfather]

What an awesome upgrade, great work Suj! I don't know how I missed your fliptop bench & chop saw though, that's a great idea. I rarely use my own chopsaw so if I ever put in the effort to make a bench for it, I'll be sure to borrow your idea!

[@SujMenon]

Thanks Mario, that mitre saw stand is pretty useful, especially when space is tight in the shop. It is a good idea to consider, if you are not using it that often. Thanks for the comment, just about to start watching yours and all the ones that were uploaded since midnight my time. Haha 😄

[@ARTYCOATY]

Beautiful work! I learned a lot about the technique. You are very good and have given me a lot of inspiration. You are very talented! I will continue to support you.

[@SujMenon]

Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀

[@JamesManCave]

Nice build there Suj, like the addition of the leather down the middle, I think that finishes it off quite nicely 👍

[@SujMenon]

Thanks James, original design was a bit more complicated, but finally stuck with just a stripe. Haha..😆👍

[@benjaqsonworkshop9974]

I really like the use of old bed slats and with the addition of matching curves, the chair looks great. Your film making is brilliant!

[@SujMenon]

Thanks for the great comment, Ben. And yes these bed slats are pretty useful 👍

[@jamiesworkshopprojects1617]

Great idea to upcycle the old chair! I really like the finished result! :D

[@SujMenon]

Thanks Jamie 😊 🙏. I'm happy with the result as well (though my son prefered his old ikea chair 😜) lol

[@StrawbyteWorkshop]

Great build. And very well edited - really interesting to watch.

[@SujMenon]

Thanks a lot Karl 😊. I think it actually took more time in editing than the actual build 😜👍

[@HewAndAwe]

Lov'n the Roman idea to lay down the leather bud! Nice tip there!

[@SujMenon]

Haha..Ben, yes, learned from past experience, lol. 🤣👍. Tacky contact adhesive gives 0 time in case it comes in contact.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Well in Suj! Nice bit of marketing at the end. And the middle ;)

[@SujMenon]

Haha, thanks Rob 😄 👍

[@AceWoodCo]

Awesome build! Love the upcycling concept, and chair design great 👍

[@SujMenon]

Thanks Anthony 👍😁

[@sumosprojects]

Suj this is absolutely brilliant mate, you’ve captured that Scott Brown bug & that’s a good thing mate 🤠, very nice chair & superb video 🍻👍👍👍👍

[@SujMenon]

Haha.. Dirk, yes I got the Scott Brown bug as well, his video's are so easy to watch 👍😁, and thanks for the great compliment, take care 🙂

[@CartersShed]

Hey Suj. That's a great improvement over the originals. They look brilliant.. Your filming and editing style is fantastic.

[@SujMenon]

Thanks Carter. Yes, it is an improvement to the original IKEA one. But man, compared to your geometric design one, this is way too simple. 👍😁

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

That looks fantastic

[@SujMenon]

Thanks David 😊 👍

[@frankslittleworkshop]

Nicely done Suj 😁. Hmmmm those biscuits look yummy 😂🤣😂. Great build and some nice editing as well. Love the leather detail. Hope you enjoyed the challenge ... I did 😁👍

[@SujMenon]

Frank, everyone loves a biscuit, but not after downing 2 bottles of cola back to back. haha, 👍😁. And thanks for the comment mate.

[@reaper060670]

I was wondering how strong the back is? I think over time somebody is coming off it. Maybe some kind of metal angle piece behindf them routered into as a wee inlay?? I lover the detail with leather

[@SujMenon]

That's my worry as well. That join is too fragile for an adult. Its still standing btw, but wouldn't do this way again

[@ChrisFranklyn]

...hang on a second... there's two of them! :) Glad I stuck around for the marketing vid at the end :)

[@SujMenon]

Haha 😄 🤣. Yes indeed, Chris. I know most of the viewers might not wait till then. Thanks for watching 👍

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Nice one mate, the leather was a good idea.

[@SujMenon]

Thanks Harki, it was supposed to be something else, but i settled for just a strip midway. Haha 😄 👍

Hello Suj, Congratulations on participating in the Karl 2020 chair challenge project. Nice design. It's a good chair. It is different and interesting. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. I wish you a healthy and pleasant new week. See you. Big greetings. Take care, man. (biscuit joke was nice) #KPWBCC2020

[@SujMenon]

hey, thanks Mehmet. Yes, it was a pretty interesting build. I had been thinking of converting the kid's chair for some time, and this challenge gave that push!. thanks for watching mate 👍😀

@@SujMenon You're welcome. See you. The chair was nice. big greetings.

[@FixitFingers]

0:53 - Thanks for the shout out mate... 🤣 nice of you to add me to your push stick. I need to send you a Fixit Fingers sticker to replace that black sharpie! Hit me up on Insta with your address 😁 I thought I saw you cut a leather strip in brown then got confused, then inspired by the marketing. Great upcycle!

[@SujMenon]

Haha.. yes that was a silent shoutout to you James. 😜. Will dm my address on insta. Btw, I was hoping no one would notice that leather strip colour difference. I was converting 2 chairs at the same time and thought I would stick with red. But as always overlooked it while editing. The footage was recorded at 4k, and my laptop just couldn't handle it. So just winged it while editing.
