To be 100% honest, the most beautiful projects involve defects in the wood! Whether enhanced or left as is it is character. It reminds the observer or user that you created something out of a perfectly, imperfect and formerly living thing. That it was made from a tree that grew with all its history and defects as it’s meant be… and that’s what makes woodworking so damn cool!

@@TuanBui-yp7oz I probably won't make a video, but I can confirm, it's very comfy, everything is great, the only slight regret is the cushions are a bit firm, but I'm sure they will soften up with time. The webbing is also fine, time will tell how long they last but they're very easy to install and it's not very expensive so if they fail down the track (which I doubt they will for a long while) they're not hard to replace. In terms of the angle of the seat, it is more or less the same as the first seat, but just tilted back a bit, if that makes sense. They're both 10 degrees from seat to back, but the new version is just rocked back which makes it feel less upright.

I enjoyed watching this video. The chair really looks great. I’ve found most manufactures have much too long a seat which is really designed for the purchaser to buy more cushions. This long seat makes for an extremely uncomfortable chair as you tend to slide forward, they also don’t match the rake on the seat to the rake on the back. I’m 1.89cm tall and this still happens to me. Hopefully, just changing the rake on the back fixed your problem.

Hey I just found your channel. I love it. I'm age 22 and did gymnastics for 14 years. I started working at age 13 to make pay for gymnastics academy fees and transport. It was at a property management company and I did a lot of house remodeling. It started off just make money but then I liked the work. When I was age 15 I got severely beat up by 3 older athletes from school who thought it would be fun to see how long I could take hard punches. I lasted a long time trying only to survive. That got me churning about gymnastics and life. I turned toward bodybuilding out of fear. I'm adopted from Ukraine and raised in rural USA. I asked the farmer who owned the farm my adoptive mom rented her house from if I could remodel an abandoned tiny house that was not habitable. He loved the idea. With the help of his grandson I tore out the ceiling to make the living room open to the roof rafters to hang my still rings. I built some workout equipment from wood and tore out the kitchen to make room. I then started to make some cabinets from scraps and old cabinet parts. Over the next few years that house gym became my refuge. I graduated high school and left gymnastics behind. But I liked construction a lot and my first year of community college the pandemic closed everything down. When things started to open up I got a job at Menards (big box store) in their building materials dept and from there got noticed by guys working for a construction company who asked me to work for them full time. I have only 1 year of college and haven't gone back. I've been helping some guys in construction make furniture and lots of cabinets. I'm learning a lot and hope to lean more into furniture. I'm a fan of learning from KZbin. I hope to learn from you too. Pax.

Yes, woodworking in general is inherently dangerous, doubly so with certain tools if guards are not in place. However, we can work safely with such machines when we pay attention to what we're doing. I understand this may sound like "Normalized Deviance" to some folks. It's not my intention, nor am I being cavalier.

As a furniture design/maker the beautiful attention to the walnut frame is sadly let down by the blocks of the seat pads which are almost an after thought. In fact your video got to 20.34 of 21mins before you mentioned that you got a couple of cushions and the chair was done. Good design requires the whole chair to be one. In this case, the frame is completely separate from the seat and back. Where was the original thinking in the design to make the whole design more than just the sum of its parts? Your video screams - I’ve got two cushions and some walnut - I know, I’ll make a chair. In that sense the finished product sadly lacks synergy.
