It's that time of the year and baseball is back this week!! The grass is finally turning green again and what better way to celebrate than by building a giant 3' diameter baseball, Jackman style. Other than the bats and conduit, this chair is built entirely from pine 2x4s (and a little bit of wood glue, per usual). The two halves are basically just massive segmented bowls that I carved down to shape using the TurboPlane and then added laces to it using the Power Chisel, both from Arbortech. The disks were also laminated from 2x4s and were used to cap off the top of the domes. The seat was dished out, just like any classic piece of furniture... Then lastly, the baseball bats (t-ball bats actually, shhh) were threaded with a tap and die set and then screwed into place as a couple of arms and also a couple of supports for the back. The back is held in place with some black iron pipes inserted through the base and then the arms are held in by being thread into the back and supported in the front with conduit. The whole thing is finished with lacquer.

The "Refer Friends For Extra Entries!" link seems to be broken - not sure if you have anything to do with that.

[@WatchMeDIYIt]

Awesome! As a baseball fan, I love it!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

that sawdust angel transition though 👌👌👌 Awesome video!

[@JackmanWorks]

Got to take advantage of the mess... I feel like the janitors weren't a fan of me though.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Jackman Works I'm sure some of it stuck to you... and therefore you helped clean up!

[@muddyfences5559]

EvanAndKatelyn Plus whatever ended up in your, ummm, boots. :)

[@ArbortechWoodworking]

don't forget the flatulence 👌 hahaha

[@knaaker]

Your comedic timing and editing is top notch among the makers on KZbin. Plus you make some cool stuff that I would never have thought of. Thumbs up and keep on!

[@krtwood]

In my head I know you were making eye contact with everyone while applying the finish, but in my heart I know it was just with me.

[@JackmanWorks]

Oh, I'm watching you

[@PJGalati]

heheheheheheheh

[@BruceAUlrich]

ha ha ha...yes!

[@KSFWG]

I think you two would make a cute couple!

[@eln74]

krtwood Hey knock it off he was winking his beard at me!!! 😆😉

[@s2pointoh]

Ridiculous. Ridiculously AWESOME. You keep getting better. Thanks for sharing your creativity and humor.

[@MasonR3]

You’re by far one of the best KZbinrs I’ve seen. The woodworking, the music choice, the transitions, the funny bits are all gold

[@TheEveryMaker]

That came out awesome, of course. I respect the insane amount of work that went into making such a unique piece!

[@Dopefish76]

Those are the biggest pair of segmented BOWLS I’ve ever seen! The chair came out so sick! AND I’m in the video! 😃 Great meeting you at the show and seeing how this awesome monstrosity turned out!

[@InspireToMake]

WOW!!!! This is Awesome!

[@johnhunter273]

Awesome! Really like the weathered leather finish. Well done sir. Well done.

[@digitaIgorilla]

Well edited, I bet the real-world full build without cuts and time-lapse took months! Great finished seat, worthy of all that time.

[@CammiesGarage]

Great video, Paul! Nicely done.

[@woodsmccloud]

That was simply majestic.

[@i.381]

Oh great!!!!! Great project, great result, great video and the idea of doing this chair is so great!!!

[@holdemNE1]

Watching you make this has inspired me to never even think about doing something like this. Great job.

[@terristroh3965]

Glad you are back to your own style of videos. As always great project!

[@RiaanOliver]

What can I say?? It’s awesome just does not do it any justice. Really loved the videography, it’s has well thought out and captivating. Cheers Paul.

[@smilingrin]

You are a creative genius! If I hadn't seen the final project before hand, I'd have had no idea what you were building! I wonder if YOU knew what you were building when you started? Thanks again for another amazing build video encouraging all of us fledgelings into using our imaginations when it comes to building, really, anything!

[@beedykh2235]

That is one of the most satisfying things I have ever whatched!

[@thenuptse8827]

You’ve got big ball taking on a project like this!

[@phunkissartisticcreations2316]

Education and entertainment wrapped around a baseball, it doesn't get any better!

[@hdwoodshop]

[@myxology]

One thing is certain, you are not afraid of doing long-term, monotonous, hard work. Whew. This project and others that you've done. Wow. Great stuff, man! Oh, and the sawdust angel was epic. Thanks for that. :)

[@secondwind75]

What a great project, Paul. Very cool idea and execution. And thanks for the well needed laughs. Very well done. Troy
