Making a Rope Lounger Chair - Bent Lamination

I started by drawing a chair outline on plywood board and cutting the mould pieces from leftover wood pieces. Pieces are attached to the board with wood screws. I cut 2.4mm thin veneer sheets from 4x12cm spruce boards, 40 layers all together. Sheets are then cut to length and sanded down to 2.2mm. Sheets are bent and glued together using two component melamine glue with open time of 45 minutes. After 24 hours in the mould, laminated pieces are taken out and planed. Main piece is cut lengthwise into two identical pieces. Each one is planed on the cut side. Main pieces and round pieces are conected together with small 12mm thick walnut slats held together with acetate glue. Everything is sanded first with belt sander then with orbital sander and finally by hand. Holes are drilled on the outer edge of the lounger sides with 2.5 cm spacing in between . Beech dowels are then glued into each hole. For seat and back rest I used nylon rope braided between the dowels..

I watched this and thougt "I wish I had the shop and skill to make that." Then you marked for all those dowels and I thought "I wish I had someone to do that." :D Very nice work.

[@lignumchannel]

:D especially if you mark it all wrong and have to repeat it like I did.. Thank you! I'm glad you like the project!

[@tingcraft3920]

ensen89 - Well watch more videos like this, learn all you can about having and maintaining a wood shop, If you learn all you can without hands on experience and you feel like it's something you'd enjoy, look for woodworking classes in your area, or someone who could have you as their apprentice. Woodworking is slowly coming back so I'd say the more the merrier! Personally I don't have a workshop but that's something I'm striving for as I see this as something I'd like to make my living Remember, experience is invaluable Mistakes are moments for learning and are precious! Admire where you're at with you skill but never stop striving to improve! and last but not least, find a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

Lignum videos are never a disappointment. That's why I try not to miss a single one, sadly I feel very few people are really doing anything 'new' on KZbin. Lignum however never ceases to provoke such deep thought. Love it.
