You all probably dont care at all but does anyone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my password. I would love any tips you can give me

[@lennoxtrey3109]

@Franco Brecken Instablaster :)

[@francobrecken4304]

@Lennox Trey thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@francobrecken4304]

@Lennox Trey it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account !

[@lennoxtrey3109]

@Franco Brecken no problem =)

[@marlenepisani9887]

Yey!!! I finally found another Canadian!! Nice work!

[@josevillanueva6992]

I like your project. I am fan of plywood pattern. Last year I build a treasure pirate chest for my sister and I cut the plywood and glued the same way as yours. Thanks for sharing.

[@andrefalksmen1264]

Great to see a lady with strong carpentry skills

[@DIYMontreal]

Thank you kindly!

[@davidharvey5672]

Wow love that stool! Those angles are hard for me to visualise but I guess once you get started it comes. Thanks

[@DIYMontreal]

It took me a while myself to wrap my brain around it. Just picture everything leaning in like the Eiffel tower 😉 Once you get started all the pieces start falling into place.

[@thecityofficial6367]

Usually I hate when people talk during the video bc most of what they choose to say is more like rambling rather than critical information or even entertaining information. However, I really thought the narration you added was very necessary and extremely easy to listen to. Loved it. Can’t wait to see more

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks, appreciate the positive feedback!

[@woodworksszm2680]

I have done just like you have do it, because of you for the first time my wife likes one of my projects. thanks my sister. (algeria)

[@Lutzboater]

A really nice looking stool. You are, like someone else mentioned, a great teacher. Your explanation of the angles required made it simple to understand. Well done !!

[@DIYMontreal]

Thank you so much! My goal is to share the knowledge, so happy to hear that.

[@vitalooook]

Вы большая умница и мой вдохновитель!❤

[@quirtdrozario3038]

Excellent build. Love the chevron seat.

[@gerdiamen]

Thank you, this is an awesome build! I still cannot believe that the gray and the natural color of plywood end grain would look this great. Cheers!

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

that plywood chevron top looked super cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!

[@southbreeze6745]

very nice. You should have your own woodworking show on TV.

[@emme6055]

Your commentary is clear and informative. Great content!

[@WeinessFilms]

You did an incredible job with figuring out this puzzle

[@DIYMontreal]

Many thanks, appreciate that!

[@JolienBrebels]

I love the chevron pattern, it makes the stool beautiful!

[@DIYMontreal]

Thank you 😊

[@woodywoods5373]

Nice job Marie, nice work with plywood.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

Loving the stool & the use of end grain ply. Much better then my stools ive made

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks, appreciate it!

[@jigsey.]

If only I knew you in real life we could have so much fun.... Making stuff in the workshop.. Welcome back and a great build ms

[@DIYMontreal]

Lol I'm sure we would. Thanks for the support!

[@zavoina]

Great explanation on the angles.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks Andy

[@anthonymartinez5144]

Awesome looking stool. Nice job

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!

[@AlaskaWorkshop]

Beautiful stool, visited Montreal in October of 2019. Beautiful city, enjoyed the poutine and fantastic bagels!

[@harrydavis6903]

A great looking stool. Well done!

[@DIYMontreal]

Thank you kindly!

[@ShopFoxTools]

This is a great video, Marie! Your explanations are so detailed, but they're not overwhelming or confusing. You're a fantastic teacher and woodworker. :)

[@DIYMontreal]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@hansdegroot8549]

Nice job and well explained step by step. You are a perfect teacher. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thank you so much Hans! Truly appreciate it.

[@KRColson]

Wow! What a great little project! You certainly have some talent! Well done.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!!

[@Yanuaradil]

Lovely

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!

[@user-hx9eq3pt5s]

Fantastic quality👍👍👍💪

[@ndaba9483]

You are so detailed. Thank you so much for such a beautiful Video. You the best. Your work is amazing

[@AaaaandYerDhem]

great work

[@ZulfikarAbdulaziz]

Loved the chevron board

[@richardbrunelle7517]

Another great video Marie. Your descriptions and explanations are always spot on. And I appreciate that you always state how this is the way you do it, tho it may not be the best way. This allows the woodworker see the project through their own eyes, and lets them find the best route to the end result. This project stool is great. It shows the legs, raked and splayed, as well as the chevron design for the seat. Keep up the good work. It is very inspirational.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks for the positive feedback Richard, it's much appreciated!

[@mcattack2009]

Good explanation on the angles. If people complain about the single dowel they can just modify to do a half-lap joint. The hard part is the angling.

[@ChiefMoonChunks]

super cool design! and all out of inexpensive materials. these would be a great set for any bar

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!

Hello my friend. I watched making a great chevron patterned bar stool using plywood. I watched with admiration. It's a great project. The biggest thing is to always do innovative work and help people with ideas. Congratulations. Warm hug. Yours truly. (thanks for the plans)..

[@DIYMontreal]

As usual, thank you kindly! Much appreciate.

@@DIYMontreal Thank you too. See you again. We are in same idea. Yours truly.

[@mikeandlucky]

Great project. Thanks. Your video is excellent in explaining each step carefully. Can't wait to try this.

[@DIYMontreal]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice work on the bar stool Marie! Thank you for sharing the video with us! 💖👌👍😎JP

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks JP!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Your very welcome Marie! Have a great week!😎

[@DsHardWoodCreations]

Very well done

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Love the look of this stool, Marie! Great job!

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks Bruce!

[@RobertJKeller]

Looks awesome 👍🏼

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks Robert!

[@YESSLEEP42]

Love that chevron design!!

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!

[@spooncwa19]

Very cool video - those angles feel like something that would take a long time to wrap my brain around 😁

[@DIYMontreal]

Haha I did my best to break it down but it's still math :-p

[@youtubechannel12371]

I reeeeally love this stool. Amazing job!

[@kerrykebrinaart7876]

thanks for making this and making it simple to follow

[@koreelarry4127]

Une très très belle réalisation, très bien expliqué et surtout très utile dans un atelier. J’adore la couleur grise des pieds et le motif du siège. Merci à vous pour ce partage ( thank you for sharing) .

[@DIYMontreal]

Merci beaucoup! C'est apprécié 😊

[@eduardoquirino8579]

Le quedo muy bonita! Nice afternoon

[@mmmfotografo7328]

Te felicito muy organizado un profesional que utiliza toda la tecnología a su disposición desde Medellín colombia 😁

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

Found you and n Reddit you're really awesome thanks for reaching us how to make this stool. Also the sliding doors you made at your mitre saw put my jaw on the floor cause that's brilliant.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thank you so much! I've seen a lot of ppl use magnets but just wanted something even more simple, so... Sliding doors 😊

[@SebastianGodoyMedel]

This is a beautiful stool! Thanks for sharing

[@stormbytes]

Wow Love it! What a neat little project. I'm so inspired! Will be tackling this one when I have some downtime. I'm sure I'll screw up the legs/angles but that's part of the fun. Terrific video! Really. A very practical, down to earth project. Excellent job on the presentation and camera work!

[@radchander]

Very nicely done👍👍👍

[@panchobrown7562]

Man I absolutely love your work and the instructional videos. The angles wreck my brain; however maybe just maybe I can build a stool with your video and written instructions. Thanks again!!

[@CindyOrtegametzli7]

Beautiful work!

[@salastuto139]

Sweet stool, and if I could offer one small idea, use a plastic paint scraper to scrape the glue before the planer. I do this at work for bigger table glue ups and it saves the time and planer!

[@MCsCreations]

Really beautiful work! Looks fantastic! 😃

[@DIYMontreal]

Than you so much!

[@billybobholcomb5049]

A really great job. I found this to be very informative . You make this look easy.

[@mikeandlucky]

Thanks for the outstanding instructional video. Don't worry about negative comments. The only people who are never criticized are those who accomplish nothing :).

[@neolight1]

That was cool

[@waynemahler2015]

Great instructional video. Well explained. I love the chevron top of the stool. Thanks for sharing this.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thank you! Much appreciated

[@MikeFernando]

Great video, thanks a lot! :)

[@garywilliams1759]

Another great tutorial thank you so much for sharing 😊👏

[@Erkin_Odilov]

Masterpiece

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!

[@eggworthy]

Definitely saving this video to try it myself!

[@DIYMontreal]

Awesome, hope you enjoy!

[@woodywoods5373]

Hi Marie I just watched your video again I've noticed your getting a lot of new toys for shop lol.I like your shop fox strait edge saw,one thing that I use a lot in my shop is a bandsaw you can make circle cutting jigs for it I use it for cutting bowl blanks its a great tool.Glad to see you again its been awhile since your last video you do nice work,I'll be waiting for your next video. God bless

[@DIYMontreal]

Oh my don't tempt me!!! I've been actively avoiding looking into bandsaws because I KNOW I'll buy one once I start! It's on the list for this year, so don't be surprised if you see one appear in the shop :-)

[@ribamarbianchini7645]

Trabalho muito bonito, parabéns!

[@DavidWaller123]

great video

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!

[@Texno_Login]

Обожаю когда с хорошим инструментом у человека дело горит в руках😉😉👌👌

[@user-zf8gz2ev6g]

Дааа, станки отличные.

[@Smithb83]

Wow that's beautiful - would make a nice serving board too, finished with food safe mineral oil

[@DIYMontreal]

It would look cool, although I'm not sure I'd recommend it. Plywood end grain exposes a lot of the plywood's inner glue, which may not be food safe...

[@HaythamMahmoud2010]

Woow.. great job 👍👍

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!

[@RhinoWorks]

exactly what i was looking for. 👌 just bought your plans and hope i can do this. 😉

[@wolfiklife]

Отличная работа!!!

[@Generalms02]

I like those stools! Thanks for sharing! :-)

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks so much! 🙏

[@thomasrenoulleau7162]

Belle réalisation

[@DIYMontreal]

Merci!

[@kadekwijana6935]

I love this job❤

[@vladvippishoulski1267]

Une vidéo de qualité, comme d'habitude. Merci.

[@DIYMontreal]

Merci beaucoup!

[@dirimon]

Sieht echt toll aus

[@jeffoldham3466]

i think you did a great job of describing each step,,,i especially liked it about the angles,,,going to watch the video again,,kinda confused about how you layed up the plywood for glue ups,,,but it was a great video,,,

[@AutotechWoodworking]

I really like the design of your chair, but then I have always liked the look of the edge of plywood when its sanded. I made a desk and a table using plywood with the edges exposed. I used premium plywood that had absolutely no voids, and they came out really nice.

[@DIYMontreal]

The better the plywood, the better the result!

[@heyimamaker]

Awesome work! I really like how it turned out. I have also wanted to try the Osmo finish, I see it used a lot on large epoxy tables and it looks amazing!

[@DIYMontreal]

It's not cheap, but I've never found a finish I love so much.

[@elainearchibald9020]

Love this! It's beautiful! TFS :) Looking forward to your next video, I am a new subscriber.

[@DIYMontreal]

Awesome, thank you! Appreciate it. Excited to get started on my next build.

[@wadesaunders583]

smart lady!

[@kh.kompot8634]

Good work ច្នៃរឡូយណាស់បង

[@user-ti5df1jg7t]

Интересный стул👍

[@NWGR]

Great job! :-) Stay safe up there.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks, doing my best by staying in the workshop 😉

[@kennymysak2079]

Just came across your channel and subscribe to it. Great tips on building the stool

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks so much, appreciate it!

[@normanbott]

Nice project. I've always shied away from compound mitre cuts, but your excellent presentation's method has given me some confidence. I thought maybe you'd gone into hibernation, I'm told Quebec winters can be brutal ;-) The grey finish looks good, I've been using a dead-matte product which mimics chalk paint but is quite tough . ( In UK it's a Ronseal product but I'm sure others do one too) Needs no wax or clear-coat.

[@Tukangkayu82]

Amajing

[@AlesEveryday]

Very cool! May make one for myself! New sub

[@DIYMontreal]

Awesome, thanks for subbing!

[@wm005]

Great video and I enjoyed the build. For some reason I've not been getting notifications on your videos. Been missing you...

[@DIYMontreal]

Aww thanks! It's been a while, I know! Wish I could do this full time and put out video's more often... But I promise the next one won't take so long!

[@cnrart.claudiorodriguez9978]

exelente me encanto el efecto 3d , saludos desde buenos aires

[@DIYMontreal]

Thank you!

[@barzalou]

Hey, c'était super! Bravo et oui, j'en aurai 2 à bâtir.

[@AtticBuilds]

This was a lot of work but the stool turned out beautiful.

[@DIYMontreal]

Ha, you're right, it was! But really happy with the outcome :-)

[@JoseLima-yz3wj]

amei ...sensacional

[@ecko1882]

You're a badass

[@DIYMontreal]

Ha Thanks! 😎
