making chairs

[@davecsaszarable]

My grandfather was a carpenter. I never met him, but it makes me very happy that some of his pieces are still in use in different countries. I really enjoy your channel, the quality and nature of the projects are great. Sadly in Finland where I live there's little market for this noble profession. Not to mention that everybody has IKEA at home. I tried to furnish my house with mid century pieces.

[@ronaldmiller6822]

You make the project seem so simple. I appreciate the process detail segments. Thank you for an enjoyable and informative video!

[@oscardimitriarevalo]

What a coincidence!, I am a junior carpenter (I hope soon like you), and my wife is costume designer. Simple and beatiful your new chairs, by my side, a have a dinning table 😀, but not my own chairs 😔. Greetings from Chile!! Enjoy our summer time.

[@ch355_]

nice design and thoughtful process. thank you for sharing this

[@kurtfattig9370]

I really enjoy your designs and the creativity you have. I also like your mellow, even-tempered nature. Nice presentation of very beautiful designs and craftsmanship as well. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

[@entstudio63]

Great work mate! Greetings from Melbourne and from a cabinet maker with 25 years of experience!

[@johnhorsfall3281]

Very pleasing design. Look fantastic and comfortable. Great Channel Joey

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+John horsfall thank you

[@trishblakely3476]

As a woodworker, I love these chairs. As a quilter, I covet the Bernina. Great work all around!

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+Trishy B cheers

[@kensmith411]

This was awesome that you went into so much detail about a build with all the jigs. Thanks for that. Also, on another note, I think it's cool that you and your wife have matching tattoos of the diamond for the ring finger and wings on your left arms. Never noticed that before. Keep up the great videos and thanks for keeping it simple for all of us.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+Ken Smith cheers man

[@kenmarapese9085]

Good looking chair. Drawings, jigs and a prototype, time and materials are wasted without them.

[@GS-wx5pr]

LOVED seeing the wife and kiddo!!!

[@clydedecker765]

As always, Joey. Love your work and the finesse you utilize to get a top pro job done. I think the suggestion to put "breather/relief" holes in the plywood is a good ideal too. Love the simple but comfy look.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+Clyde Decker thanks. Will see how they go if I need breather holes or not.

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Super video . . . your music makes AC/DC seem tame . . . jigs are fantastic, makes ten units as easy as one.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+Rod MacKinnon cheers ha sometimes. That's the plan....

[@tomruth9487]

Great looking chairs. So many angles, so many jigs, I guess that's the nature of chairs.

[@drmkiwi]

As usual with your videos Joey, so much to like (and only one thumbs up per person per video). Enjoyed the ideas, the humour, the style, video production and workshop productivity and those "ugly" jigs - just awesome. Thanks and cheers, David

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+DRMNZ cheers man

[@jamesosullivan5096]

Beautiful craftsmanship as usual, and a multi talented family also! Keep up the great work and videos

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+James O'sullivan thanks

[@jrsnfd]

I love the design of the chairs. Mid Century Modern era of furniture is my favorite and that is what I build for my own house. I hadn't thought of using jigs like that for my domino but I will be doing that in the future. And being a Bernina tech on the side it made me smile to see your machine.

[@brianhackett9649]

How wonderful that you both had a hand in making something that your family will use everyday. Great work!

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+Brian Hackett cheers

[@NickMakes]

Awesome video Joey, really enjoyed the jig overview and insight. Thanks for sharing!

[@MrKenhaigh]

Nice job. vent holes in the seat base will allow air to escape and prevent air pressure from possibly damaging sewn seams. Compressing the foam while tacking the cover helps get a nice snug fit. It'll mean another jig though !!!

[@johnconklin9039]

Great looking chair design. Good luck with them standing up to the kiddo, lol.

[@alasdairmackenzie515]

Excellent! Thank you for yet another piece of inspiration. PS Your summers are just like ours here in the North West of Scotland....

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+Alasdair MacKenzie ha that's what they say

[@justcruisin109]

I really enjoy the way you present your builds. Not just a "here's what I have made" but a thoughtful insight to the process and how to improve the build along the way. Nice style too - sadly I'm a mid-century product as well. Cheers.

[@SMee67]

Awesome build and design. Love the choice of wood, looks sturdy and comfortable. 👍

[@Blazer19742002]

"Now I need a dining table. Hmmm" LOL! The chairs look great, can't wait to see the matching table :-) Tfs.

[@wseejattan]

Well done man . Beautiful family effort.

[@nicholasphelps7489]

"Let's just call these countersunk holes, eh?" 😂😂😂😂😂 awesome build! I laughed hard at that!

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+Nicholas Phelps at what ? What are you talking about😉

[@christinecahill2874]

No furniture maker worth they're weight would ever use pocket hole screws. Thats what he is laughing about. Especially when you went through the trouble of making a slide down dovetail backrest, then you went and used pocket hole screws. One word of advice for you. If you plan on selling these chairs to the public I'm thinking either all joinery, or no joinery. Not half & half ok joey? Other then that i happen to like most of your stuff! ☺

[@michaeladamson1729]

@@christinecahill2874 What an ignorant comment

[@KarimDK81]

Awesome 👌🏻 thanks for share 😊

[@GuysShop]

Chairs look great Joey. I really enjoyed how you show how the use of jigs speed up the manufacturing process.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+GuysWoodshop thanks guy , it was a bit tricky putting the vid together actually, do I show jig making, do I show all 14 jigs, is it going to be too boring etc.

[@OneManBandWoodworks]

Nice design mate the chairs look very elegant

[@5656eric]

Yes, you need to make the table ... :) Congrats for these superb chairs !

[@kuffyswoodwork]

The chairs finished up really nicely. Sooooooo many jigs, even a little blue jig to drill a counter-sunk hole. Leaving nothing to chance hey? 😀

[@highjix]

lol, is it just me or is his rough mock up better then anything I have made before

[@Nissimus]

Beautiful outcome, loving the family effort !

[@LukeDorny]

This is my favorite video of yours. I really enjoyed it. Thanks, Joey!

[@demirdoken]

Hi, great work and enjoyed the video. I really liked the design. Any chance that I can but the plans for this chair? Thanks.

[@MyVinylRips]

Love your work and your videos. Pure meditation to watch, and truly inspiring.

[@robbysearle]

Great skills.Awesome jigs. Back to the shop then to make the table, eh...

[@alisam8919]

very nice and easy to make it..thanks for idea

[@zaknefain100]

Risom inspired? Love the minimalist beauty of mid-century modern. Has a warmth and character that a lot of more 'contemporary' pieces lack. This is beautiful work mate, thanks for bringing us along to see the process.

[@RobinLewisMakes]

That sliding dovetail makes them so much more fancy, even if it's straight forward with the jigs. My wife's sold, I reckon I'll be trying something similar

[@paulc9395]

Nicely done. This is why I hate building chairs. The demands of repeatability take so much time it's difficult to price the work reasonably.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+Paul C yup I hear that

[@triboysmeubel]

Bang tetap semangat dalam usaha hobi kayu good 👍

[@russthibault8800]

that’s a gorgeous design, can’t wait to see the dining room table 😁

[@Alanbataar]

Good work! Handsome chairs.

Thanks you Joey, great job. Very educational video IMO.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+David Spinadel cheers

[@ahikernamedgq]

Those look great, Joey! Good for you!

[@jacobthellamer]

Nice chairs! haha that rain filled my tank up :)

[@gelazarnadze2800]

Good job 👏

[@gunterschone8402]

Nice video. The chairs look very nice. The covers for the seat you could have also sewed. Sewing is not difficult, I've sewn a leather cover for my seat.

[@marlucesantos.1553]

Great job. 👍

[@patrickfinney2623]

Great work!! Are you selling plans?

[@Hiksan5]

Great video! I build MCM furniture and have had a hard time finding knowledge on how to make chairs like this. Liked that you took the time to show the different jigs and setups. Super usefull and much apreciated. If you at some time feel like expanding a bit on the topic I would love to learn a bit more about your design process; how do you get to that exact shape, what/who inspired you, what goals did you set etc? Keep up the good work!

[@mardakworkshop4450]

nice job man 😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@iancraigen]

Looks good, like the colour

[@danielnita2130]

Very nice job!!! I'm interest ed în your router table jig, is something you've built or bought?

[@bothann]

They look great, congrats.

[@MrGuardcaptain]

These are great Joey. Any chance you can make plans available?

[@natansouza1887]

I believe that a dinning table will not be a problem haha

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

we'll see .......

[@robertstewart4639]

Who makes the sliding jig on your router table? Looks very well made.

[@floridabeardedwoodworker]

I would like to know as well.

[@maurolimaok]

This is a very beautiful project!

[@diegodiaz7118]

Hi. Congratulations for you job!! Are the plans for sale? Thanks

[@nimblybimbly4002]

How about a flat pack option? You could do all of the cutting, shaping and domino prep. The purchaser could do the glue-up, trim the top of the chair-back dovetail, stain and upholstery.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+NimblyBimbly ha i have been thinking about that

[@120Livi]

KingPost TimberWorks what do you think you'd need to charge to make it worth your while?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

hmm not really sure maybe $100 plus timber cost and shipping. id need to do a few like that to work out time.

[@carpenterone3]

Great job Joey!

[@ckm-mkc]

Wow - those are amazing - to bad you are not closer to me, I would commission some pieces...

[@cobberpete1]

Just watched Jordan Crawfords' Stance Table build. I think his table and your chairs match quite well.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+Peter Compton yea true

[@lanabrown3939]

I am would like to make a project like that. Will you be willing to share the design?

[@julietphillips1991]

That was fun!

[@andrebrown9070]

What are the blueprints for this chair and I love the stage tables

[@onepairofhands]

brilliant stuff as usual Joey

[@jeremylawry5156]

You are really KING.

[@topmovies8535]

Really nice job

[@pauldejesus9644]

very nice

[@a6cjn]

Nice work Joey Have you considered 'vent' holes in the plywood seat? - helps the vinyl and foam keep its shape after prolonged use. Chris

[@JimmyKip]

Yeah that's the way Mr Sellers does his too. Oh, and re using leather & sewing, in his guide he just uses one sheet I think & stretches it around the seat: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4qpqpqYnKypY68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKewdp-hfbGmesU

Elegant chairs

[@rickgreen9936]

Good looking chairs. Perfect ending.

[@bradlandolt4763]

I really enjoy your videos! I think you speak enough but not too much, and speed up/edit out the right stuff so we can still follow your process without watching you sand. Love the foreshadowing in the outro too, looking forward to the table design that those chairs suit.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+Brad Landolt thanks. Me too!

[@ilyaivanov1745]

I liked the chairs!

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+BUK thanks

[@markfoster2833]

I have a new KF700 so I was very interested in seeing your taper jig in action.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Oh cool. Yea it's super easy with a sliding table. And super repeatable.

[@craftedworkshop]

Nice work Joey! The Domino is such a killer tool for chairs. I’ve built both a set of bar stools and a set of dining chairs and would have been lost without that tool. Some really clever jigs there as well! Wonder how fast you could batch out a set now that you have the jigs done and one set under your belt?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+Crafted Workshop cheers Johnny, yes deffinitly the tool for the job. I'd say 2 days for a set of 6. That's the plan anyway.

[@kuchi214]

It's benn 3days already since I've watched your videos. And here I am again. Watching

[@patmos72]

Hi, I enjoyed the project and the process of making it. Learned a lot. Thank You. What is that sander whic appears in 7th minute. Greetings from Tenerife

[@ElTallerdeNino]

The truth is that the work you do is excellent, I would like tomorrow to get to work, film and edit your way. Congratulations

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+El Taller de Nino thank you

[@hazembata]

I dig it.

[@andresarboleda3226]

Muy bonito, me gustó!!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Really nice looking chairs!

[@marc_spence]

Absolutely brilliant! I love how understated the jig making process was presented - like it didn't take hours on end with a multitude of coffee and furrowed brows. Quick question - with the left and right female dovetail jig on the back rests at 11:11, how did you set the length stop? Was it just marked out and eyeballed for the pull saw cutoff later?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+Marc Spence it was a nice coincidence that my router base had to line up with the link in the leg. So I just eye balled that. Cheers

[@aaronkreisler5584]

Lovely chairs, but dining chairs with arms like yours are reserved for the ends of the table. On the sides they are finger pinching and space taking nightmares for the most part so they aren't used in that context. I would consider adding a version of the chair without arms so you can sell a proper set.

[@seankeeth471]

Was that some Leftover Crack I heard?! Great videos, thanks for sharing!

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

+Sean Keeth yup
