how to build a Glow in the dark viking camp chair // 4K

hey guys bringing you a viking chair today, also known as a camp chair, stargazer chair. so many names so little time but luckily this build his super quick. what i really loved about making this is its simplicity, it only takes one 8 foot piece of 12 in x 2 in pine that you can find at your local home improvement store and a few tools. after you have it cut it is basically blank canvas for you to do whatever you want. hope you enjoy watching me make this and feel inspired to make your own.
here is a link to two videos I watched that really helped me with this bulid.
the first is from four oaks craft : • Make a Campfire Chair
the second is from the viking woodsmith:
• Stargazer Chair with V...

[@KatherineTheGr8t]

The glow in the dark is actually a safety feature as well. Nice job!!!

[@MakerCuisine]

Thank you very much

[@MikeTheSith200]

Was that a lincoln log?? lol great idea

[@MakerCuisine]

Lol, thank you

[@MakeShapeCreate]

I love that you scorched the wood slightly before staining it

[@MakerCuisine]

Yes right, it came out beautiful with the stain. And u used your homemade alcohol ink method to color the epoxy

[@MakeShapeCreate]

Native Son Wood Art awesome

[@EpicYarnGems]

Thanks. Very cool. Never saw a chair like this

[@MakerCuisine]

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

[@MakerCuisine]

Thank you very much

[@nathanielvega4993]

Very cool chair, looks great

[@MakerCuisine]

Thank you

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

Hi Native. How did you do the design on the back? Looks Great

[@MakerCuisine]

I printed the design onto a piece of paper then cut it out, you could also use carbon paper. After that I used a Dremel and some chisels to carve out the image

[@PlotsVoice]

What an awesome looking chair, man! I really enjoyed watching this build! Fantastic work as always, man!

[@MakerCuisine]

Always a pleasure to have you stop by my friend

[@CommercialForest]

Love the chair. Really good job of explaining the design process, better than most I’d say. 👍 Nothing says “South Florida” like short sleeves in November! 🥵

[@MakerCuisine]

Hahaha for sure, it's definitely not as cold down here as up north. I tried to be thoughtful when explaining it . Thanks for watching and the kind words!

[@CommercialForest]

Native Son Wood Art I grew up in Wellington (go wolverines!). Now I am in Southern California. It is California-cold right now which means about 50 degrees. 😝. I try never to complain the few days it dips like this because half the time the person i’m speaking with online is snowed-in somewhere in rural Canada 🇨🇦 🥶

[@MakerCuisine]

I here ya, I live in Deerfield now and same people come down from like New York and Connecticut and it's the same thing

[@christofix]

Great build and well explained video my friend! It looks good!

[@MakerCuisine]

Thank you very much

[@YESSLEEP42]

Very Cool! Good Job!!

[@MakerCuisine]

Thank you very much

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

Dude run to the HomeDepot, Lowe's. Lol I HATE hand saws. Lol 😁

[@MakerCuisine]

Will I did get it cut down there, does that count

[@talleyho3]

How far from the end do you measure up for the 1st line of the mortice cut out? I know the seat is 12 " from the edge up.

[@MakerCuisine]

Hello, it has been a while but if i recall it is about 16" up. You can adjust it depending on the angle you want. There are a couple of videos in the description that i referenced. One of them has free plans to download.

[@Poor_Mans_DIY]

I guess I have lead a sheltered life as I had never heard of the viking camp chair. It is very clever. easy to transport. You did a great job and the glow in the dark was the perfect touch! I am now curious... does the yaki sugi method you use have any relation to the tattoo of fire "火" on your arm? :-)

[@MakerCuisine]

Thank you very much, the tattoo itself more or less had to do with my affinity to fire, I like to use it in my work and I also deal with it in my career as I am a chef.

[@308Sharpie]

Since when did the Vikings use the symbol of the Holy Trinity?

[@MakerCuisine]

Since this one is of scotch-Irish decent, plus it justs looks cool

[@poofypoopy8838]

Is that treated wood? If it is you have to wait for it it dry out before you apply a finish. Other than that awesome build!!!!!

[@MakerCuisine]

No this is untreated wood, thanks for watching and the awesome comment👍

[@kcmat77]

Neat project. May seem weird but what's the shirt? I ask cuz it says KC. Didnt know if you were in KC or something.

[@MakerCuisine]

Hey thank you very much, the shirt I got as a gift, I'm actually in south Florida

[@rolandosolis4819]

What were the two “dowel” like pieces you added??? How were they used???

[@MakerCuisine]

The dowel pieces I used to as a way to store the two pieces together when not in use

[@bigperm005]

Also, where does the mortise start? 12" from the end of the board also?

[@MakerCuisine]

Yes sir 12" up and 2" from the sides

[@shandelcleary3246]

Great video! Gave me a idea! Do you have to use epoxy or will regular glow in the dark paint work? Great work,this will be a great quarantine project

[@MakerCuisine]

I used epoxy,but glow in the dark paint will totally work to, I actually added glowing vine using glow in the dark spray paint, you just have to make sure you use enough paint for it to absorb the light enough to glow for a long time, good luck, I would love to see it when it's done👍

[@shandelcleary3246]

Thanks! I’ll definitely do that, one other question, when you measured for the seat for the mortise,was it 2 inches in as well? Yes I’ll definitely send u a pic! You do nice work!

[@MakerCuisine]

I believe so yes, I don't remember exactly because it's been a while but as long as you cut the tongue the same distance in as the mortise it should line up, I kept the seat the same width as the back board so that made it easier to line up

[@MakerCuisine]

I apologise for the unclear answer I gave before, the answer is definitely yes, the mortise is measured 2 inches in from either side and 2 inches wide

[@shandelcleary3246]

One last question,what’s that little tool you were using after you carved out the image? I think I need that😂

[@bigperm005]

Each piece was cut down to 36" length?

[@MakerCuisine]

Yes 36" length for each piece

[@sethborg3833]

what are the dimensions

[@MakerCuisine]

The entire piece is an 8 foot 12 × 2, i cut it into two identical 4 foot pieces, but in hindsight i would have done a 3ft and a 5ft cut so the top is taller and your head had a place to rest

[@demps6919]

thats a celtic knot?

[@MakerCuisine]

Yes a variation of it, it's called a triquetra

[@7spiritualcompass706]

♥️👍

[@MakerCuisine]

Thank you

[@LinusNunchaku]

Hi, I really enjoy your videos and projects. I also enjoy making things, so let me know if you want to work together on something.

[@MakerCuisine]

Yeah absolutely, I was actually wanting to make a pair of nunchuks next but anything else you want to make I would love to help out with, just let me know😁

[@austenolson9855]

You take 1 big ass board 😂

[@MakerCuisine]

Basically haha

[@Luiznatal]

GOOD MORNING! CONGRATULATIONS ... KINDNESS PROVIDE MEASURES?

[@MakerCuisine]

Two pieces that are 2 inch× 12 inches by 36 inches, for the seat go up 12 inches from the front and mark that, then you can come in 2 inches in from either side for the tongue. On the other piece mark 12 inches up then another 2 inches up, then 2 inches from both sides to cut out the mortise for the tenon.

[@Luiznatal]

@@MakerCuisine Thanks...

[@MakerCuisine]

No problem
