In this video I am building the greatest piece of furniture I’ve ever built, the Cece Rocking Chair. This chair was designed, built, and named for my new niece, Cecelia. It is made with Beech hardwood, and love. We also created long form video plans that can be purchased on our website, so go check that out if you want to build one of these for yourself, or any of our other projects. This build utilized plenty of interesting techniques including template routing, part tapering, domino connecting, and a lot of rocking good times.

Many different designs for each type of project are also included. For example, there are hundreds of designs kzbin.infoUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu for outdoor buildings, from small sheds all the way up to a complete stable. Choose whatever type of shed or storage house is right for you. Pick from fancy ones or more utilitarian designs.

[@chuchetuma]

Why didn't you show the chair rocking? Apparently I'm the only one that wanted to see that. 😑

[@vladthe_cat]

No fking way the dont show that

[@MichaelBurkhalter]

Because it sucks to use I’ll bet you

[@phugoidoscillations]

The chair is beautiful, tying the armrest into the rocker is fantastic. I really love the storyboard and interactions you throw in on top of the covering the woodworking.

[@zerolive4146]

Damn. That intro though. They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.

[@shaunb66]

Haha! We had fun making that one.

[@jeremyspecce]

haha, i was like, "Damn, Chris is laying on the love!"

[@matthewb8229]

Okay, good, I'm not the only one thinking, "Uh, what the hell is happening here?" It was good laugh.

[@ranivive6052]

Totally agree with you 😀

[@DamianoZerneri]

This is a masterpiece guys. Everything's perfect: the story, the project, the woodworking, the editing.

[@shaunb66]

Thank you! Really appreciate that!

[@AFBoi120]

A. 2. and D. MAN, I LOVE YOU!! Great Home Alone reference! :)

[@shaunb66]

Haha, glad you caught it. Thanks Joe!

[@jeremyspecce]

@@shaunb66 Loved it! on 2 i was like... "didn't he say A?"

[@WindRidgeWoodCrafts]

I say/write the same combos, but never thought to skip one. Definitely going to irritate the wife with this :-)

[@MJ-nb1qn]

Shaun Boyd - Foureyes - Actually kind of expected that kind of humor from one so decorous!

[@andrewcignoni3901]

Also a National Lampoons Vacation reference. Love it!

[@BreakRebuildRepeat]

I really enjoyed the discussion of the different design decisions that went into the piece instead of just the instructional way to be able to build this specific thing. Hoping for more of that in the future!

[@shaunb66]

Glad to hear that! Thanks Matt!

[@josephhynes6584]

Brilliant, this design rocks.

[@waketp420]

Nice

[@shaunb66]

Hiyo! Thanks!

[@mikechadwick2785]

You're god damn right it does.

[@waketp420]

Did no one pick up on the pun?!

[@Little_Red_Riding_Hoodlum]

I just gave to tell you both that I don't build, but I love watching your channel(s)! As a freelance art teacher, I can appreciate how difficult it can be to create instructions and complete packages and projects that function for the masses. BRAVO! and nice shoes!

[@AnthonyLoPrimo]

Silliness aside, the design of the chair is freaking awesome. And honestly there's something about it that feels like it has more sentimental meaning to it than your other builds.

[@dangitzler548]

That's a Beautiful Chair.

[@Candrabut]

I love the way you guys add humor in every video. God bless you all!

[@dsigmon09]

Your furniture and content are equally amazing!

[@shaunb66]

Thank you!

[@shingiroregis5908]

Sense of humor between these two >>>>>>>

[@GabeSchultz1]

These plans are game-changers. You both are killing it with these designs. Thanks for putting out this type of content!

[@bleedinblue5675]

20 STARS ON THAT INTRO GUYS!! That was authentic and not mind numbing like most...and OF COURSE...another great vid and QUALITY JOB on your project!

[@jeffforbes3772]

Great project as usual. Little Cecelia will be proud.

[@kashgohel]

That intro. You guys are perfect comedians. :D

[@jtotheb-ip2hh]

Shaun (and others), i'm still kind of a beginner, so i just have to say that the process you demonstrate around 9:35 (and shortly before and after) was SO helpful! i think i first saw you do this in an old video on your original channel. anyway, i recently built my first bed frame and used this method to taper each of the four posts. it was easy, gave me perfectly repeated cuts, and felt safe! thanks for teaching me! and great job on this rocker -- as a father of two, i know just how important this kind of furniture is during those first months.

[@jeremyspecce]

Isn't that awesome? when you learn a new tip that makes a task that seems daunting actually easy and achievable, it's so rewarding.

[@shaunb66]

Really happy to hear that! That is really what we are hoping to do with the videos and plans. Yes, building a specific piece of furniture is great, but more than that it is the techniques and procedures that can be used on other projects that is really valuable. I know that stuff was for me when I was getting started!

[@GregsGarage]

Shaun always kills it.

[@shaunb66]

I certainly try! Thanks, man!

[@H40XKM]

Firstly, I learned my lesson and hit the bell icon. Secondly, I just sat on a rocking bench during vacation and loved it 😂 Guess im getting old...

[@williamellis8993]

Great chair, Shaun. It definitely has a special meaning. How many takes for the pitch and catch scenes? You guys stay safe. Bill

[@shaunb66]

Really appreciate that, Bill! We are actually getting pretty good at those blind throws, so it only took a few tries this time.

[@MattMcConaha]

You're looking at the next Harlem Globetrotters

[@DeGodOfTime]

Proportions ore perfect! Mid century modern, good call! Always looks great 🎉

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

What a beautiful chair Shaun. Great craftsmanship and design. Cecilia is a very lucky niece because her uncle is amazing. Have I piled it on enough????? You both are rockstars in my book. Thanks for sharing. Felix

[@natevandenheuvel3051]

I would love to see you guys design and build a mid century modern style couch!

[@anthonybattisti908]

Gentlemen . . . you Maloof'd this one. Outstanding.

[@Hizzlesticks]

“A, 2, and D” hahaha! Y’all have a brand of humor that speaks to my soul. Also, your furniture, videos, teaching is amazing.

[@Samtagri]

Is the whole seat attached by just the two screws on the back? Because these better be some mighty screws. May have been an idea to use bigger bolts with threaded inserts.

[@dmj802000]

Love the design and your guy’s humor. It’s pretty cool you guys work together now. Keep it up.

[@mikesgarage5066]

Awesome build! Looks absolutely amazing and it's great that you're able to build something that means so much to you!

[@shaunb66]

Really appreciate that! Thanks!

[@ЭдуардАлександер]

Мужик, это гениально! Супер кресло!

Оборудование мастерской на высшем уровне! 👍

[@georgedavidson2024]

Love the little sketches and jokes you guys throw in to your vids, very few channels can pull that off and have it actually be funny... you boys are one of them

[@shaunb66]

Really appreciate that, George! We have a lot of ideas that never make it to videos, so glad we are picking the right ones.

[@ghassanboghosian5962]

You literally had me laughing out loud at the intro. I had to stop the video so I can say this. OK, back to the build…

[@shaunb66]

Haha! That is what we were going for!

[@insectshows]

👍Thanks for sharing knowledge, I like this project bro. 💝💝💝

[@MichaelAlm]

Finally got a chance to watch this! Such a beautiful design! Well done Shaun makes me want to build one 🤔

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks man! Would love to see your version of it!

You guys RAWK, plain and simple!

[@wiltondarbelles907]

Crazy sick

[@ADVBear]

First of all, you guys are one of the best duos of all time. You guys are super charismatic. Second, this chair is definitely an art gallery piece. It's just insanely beautiful, and one of those objects which you just can't decide the best angle. Bravo.

[@shaunb66]

Really appreciate that, Alexandre! Thanks for watching!

Chris & Shaun, I've always enjoyed your individual channels and have even noticed design similarities; however, the two of you together produce the content I enjoy the most. I wish you both all the best.

[@profangineer5462]

I looked with pleasure. Well done!

[@josiahutah3712]

Hey guys, thanks for the sweet videos! Why is it you use the tablesaw to make the joint cuts rather than relying on the router template?

[@Ding_Bat]

Fantastic design and execution as usual. One (serious) question: How much weight do you estimate that chair can take?

[@shaunb66]

Really appreciate it! I have no idea how much weight it could hold, but I imagine it can hold more than anyone that will be sitting in it.

Thanks Tim! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@timstratton9]

Shaun Boyd - Foureyes omg Shaun Boyd commented on my comment... I’m almost famous... LOL... Seriously you and Chris have the best channel for woodworking on the KZbins...

[@trrvideopage]

Very nice design. But how much testing on that joint between the back and the seat have you done ? I have serious concern about the strength when it is rocking. There is a great deal of stress on that joint when the persons weight is back and they begin to rock forward.

[@ericplautz3622]

You two work so well together and keep me entertained. Thank you
