She Told Me Not To Build This...Her Reaction Is PRICELESS!

She asked me not to build this, but I did anyway! I built a chair to match my daughter's bed and desk.

I dont know this song

[@jonny555ive]

Yeah, I've never heard of this song either. 😳🙄

[@stevenkeysecarpentry]

What song is it? I did also try and ask Alexa but she said ask Johnny

[@joeselzer850]

what is the very best glue to use to glue neoprene rubber onto a aluminum plate or sheet and what is the technique you're supposed to use to get it to be a permanent Bond????

[@ubetucan2747]

I have the same problem with upholstery. One of my students built a lovely rocking chair and I had some special Brogue fabric given to me by an old Upholsterer many years before. The fabric was kept for just the right project and this chair fitted the bill. As I was working with a number of students, this young fellow was sent, with the chair base, fabric and foam across the road to another skilled Upholsterer to see if he could finish the seat cushion for us. The student had been away for some time and the Upholsterer did more than just finish the job. He took time off from his work to instruct the student as he worked on his own cushion, personally overseeing his work. He returned, proud as punch with a quality result that did this treasured piece of fabric justice.

[@walterhefty5618]

That upholsterer was a teacher in a past life. That's how you teach!

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Didn’t you mean “brocade” fabric? Brogue is a leather, I believe… 🤔🤗 PS! Lovely story! 💓

[@ubetucan2747]

@@lottatroublemaker6130 Thanks for the correction, both terms ring a bell and it was a fabric. A rich gold and green with a raised pattern effect. I only have two Budgies, Timmy & Joey, one is blue, the other green. I often get them confused too. :)

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

@@ubetucan2747 That sounds perfectly like brocade! Like those beautiful drapes in a silky satin with a raised, shiny pattern on it. Or even wallpaper of the same, so elegant! I remember my grandparents having beautiful golden brocade drapes in their living room… 🤗 Your budgies sounds lovely, birds are so much fun❣️😊

[@dinkvjr]

That's cool

[@gigitrinidad921]

You are a creative, thoughtful and straight-to-the-heart kind of DAD! That was beautiful work. 🥰 it’s rare to see a dad that knows the decor taste of their children. Yours is grown and in the most challenging years of age. Kudos to you! 🥳👏👍😊

[@wangofree]

As my wife's granny used to say, " good as some, better than most ". Seriously, excellent job JB.

[@scotter_dotter]

She walked right by the bench she wanted, straight to the chair she said she didn’t want!😅

[@MrMaster2k]

The chair looks AMAZING. Can I ask as to why you didn't put casters on the bottom for easy movement?

[@walterhefty5618]

Great job, dad! You paid attention to what your daughter likes and built her something she loves. Bravo Zulu, good sir!

[@txolycomedes1686]

Navy or Marine?

[@Zeldur]

Comfy. Wow, that chair turned out AMAZING. Because you're redoing the cushions, I suggest going with a firmer foam. I have that foam on my daily foot rest and it has already started being permanently compressed after... Maybe a year? You could just make them removable and have replaceable cushions

[@jasmeralia]

I defonitely agree about planning the cushions to be replaceable. There's no way even the best foam is going to last as long as the woodworking will.

[@christopherbedford9897]

Yah the upholstery trade refers to that foam as "high density" when it's actually anything but. It's scarcely dense enough to cut a bath sponge from. What you need is what they call "composite", the stuff that's thousands of little offcuts of stiffer foam all sort of melted together (I guess there must be a reason they don't make sheets of the stiffer stuff? 🤷‍♂)

[@UTube354]

I ‘fixed’ one dining chair and replaced the seat cushion. It came out ‘meh’, good enough. My buddy was getting custom cushions for his boat, sent the paper template for the dimensions and picked the foam thickness. They were beautiful and reasonably priced. I sent off a template for the other 9 chairs and they were perfect. After more than a decade a few of the cushions needed rehab. I visited the local fabric store, the owner was very impressed with the previous work, 3 different types of trimmed foam, a batting for the elements and waterproof stitching. I was directed to materials and given tips for even a nicer, indoor repair. These held up even longer, closer to 20 years. Even used daily, when the set was passed on, the newer cushions could almost pass for new. The fabric store is long gone replaced by condos, nothing local popped up to fill this niche. Local machine shops, hardwood dealers, chandleries, tanneries, and craftsman are fading away being replaced by lower end, disposable, online orders. Please support these local resources, pick their brains and pass on these skills and knowledge before everything is replaced by cheap, mass produced, plastic, disposable, knockoffs of once beautiful bespoke pieces. Do it for the kids.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Also it is nice to give the foam a layer of wadding on top (spray glue it down). It gives the cushion a much more finished, high quality, look! 🤗

[@tom.coomes]

Most underrated song to me is “I've Been Loving You Too Long” by Ottis Reading. It just seems like the only song people know by him is “Sitting on the dock of the bay”, which is a great song as well.

[@JonnyBuilds]

I love Otis!

[@tom.coomes]

Another one that was gone way too soon 😞

[@tysonparker7403]

Great gift. I love that your daughter was genuinely happy and grateful with your gift. I have always thought that best gifts are made, not bought.

[@UltraSuperDuperFreak]

I don't know. You can only get happy over getting macaroni necklaces for so long haha :P

[@DotaBillfuc]

I love these projects for your family. The reaction is priceless.

[@karenknicely1788]

Watching you, is like watching my dad, all over again! He passed away in 2016, but I used to sit out in his woodworking area with him, talking to him

[@Danielnnaji_]

Hello fan 👆👆 Thanks for watching Send a Dm to the above address🆙️⬆️

[@balover2010]

Oh man this makes me think of my dad, also a marine, also loves to see his daughters happy. The thundercats tee is on point too lol, he's wearing a darkwing duck one I found for him today. So happy to see such positive father daughter interaction, thank you

[@madsenbaum]

Hey Jonny, I saw you're using a Bosch saw and it looks like the dust collection isn't working great... Check out Shop Nation's recent video!! He 3D designed and printed an upgraded dust collector that should work for your saw and is already compatible with your dust collector hose! I would definitely consider getting one if I were you! Hope this helps!

[@leeknighton1918]

Really nice build, my only criticism would be the projection of the legs, they looked like they stood out a little far and when sat on looked as thought they would get in the way.

[@vetti2u]

Comfy! Both the chair and the bench look great!!! Don't fret the cushions bc they're the easiest thing to change/replace.

[@kelvinnance8371]

Comfy, indeed. The real story here is of the relationship between you and your daughter. What a wonderful gift for the Holidays.

[@marlenemeinhard8956]

Beautiful. What a lucky daughter, having a Dad that can make awesome furniture. Cushions can be challenging, for sure, but I think your daughter is very happy with everything. Great project.

[@Danielnnaji_]

Hello fan 👆👆 Thanks for watching Send a Dm to the above address🆙️⬆️

[@raydriver7300]

Comfy. Why would people not watch until the end? Lovely chair, lovely accents, lovely inlays. Your charm, personality and charisma are only exceeded by your good looks and modesty. Keep up the good work 🌞

[@rubybananers8215]

I really like the fabric you chose for the cushions but that thickness of foam really begs for a tailored cover. I also love that you designed the chair around the way she likes to sit. COMFY!

[@yaja_nowakowski]

Yeah, I agree with you, I also hate the upholstery finish 😂. Love the color though. Definitely not your forte, but I know you've fixed that by now and they'll be complimenting your gorgeous woodwork. A beautiful gift from dad.

[@MCsCreations]

Amazing work, Jonny! Both look fantastic! 😃 Really well done!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy new year!

[@lorimecikalski3079]

Wish I had a dad like you. You are a rockstar in woodwork and creativity! Underrated song: "Summer in the City" by Lovin Spoonful Comfy

[@aleveraj]

Comfy, that chair looks really nice, it brings everything together in that bedroom!! Making cushions is very VERY easy, just need to learn how to remove the excess fabric from the folds and you'll get there in no time!! My most underrated song is "In the Ghetto" by Elvis, even when it made it to #1 for a brief time, I feel it doesn't get all the recognition it should. It carries a hugely powerful message that is still valid some 50 years later.

[@flamedphoenix84]

woof woof well done on the chair and she didn't even notice the upholstery. Just redo the upholstery with the same fabric. She will love it even more and she can change it whenever she wants which is great I may have to look at making one for myself.

[@samanthaf5333]

Awww this turned out so nice! Professional tufting is going to make a huge difference, if you can pull it away from Chloe now hahaha

[@VampyRagDoll]

Comfy… yeah the cushions were shocking but the chair and bench were exceptional.

[@karstenhaus]

Comfy! I agree with you on the cushions... need some work, but over all both projects turned out great.

[@rhanethomas2797]

Gorgeous work all around! Thanks for sharing.

[@sgsax]

That chair turned out pretty sweet and goes well with the bed. Looks comfy too. I can see what you don't like about the cushions, but don't think they look all that bad, personally. As for underrated songs, I would pick one from Bruce Springsteen for the troll factor here, but instead I'll go with Mohammed's Radio by Warrren Zevon (see also his Carmelita for a similar vibe, which was actually written by Kris Kristofferson). Thanks for sharing!

[@vampricloki]

I am the same when it comes to cushions. any bench or chair I make I take the cushion plate to an automotive upholstery shop and let them to the foam and fabric. that way I dont have to worry about sourcing fabric and if a client wants extra chairs or needs repairs a year later I can go to the same shop and know they can source the same fabric.

[@NadiaKilrick]

Comfy! I just discovered your channel today. I am in awe of your skills! That chair would've whipped me from the start. Great work on both pieces. And perfect entertainment on this closed-in, stormy Thursday morning.

Beautiful job Jonny! Because she is still young, have you ever thought about building her a hope chest? Something she can use to put knick knacks and dishes and blankets and other different things in that she can later on take to her first home or apartment. I can't build, but I am looking for one for my granddaughter. She's 14 and I want to get her started out now.

[@Comicsluvr]

The skills of a real woodworker never cease to amaze me. Of course, you also own a ROBOT, so there's that... However, you seem to be a really good dad so you get massive props for that.

[@tarafoley6030]

Comfy. Another excellent build! Your talent is huge Jonny ... Don't stress the upholstery too much - it's a matter of practice. Baby girl Chloe is a very lucky young lady.

[@davidlarson9013]

Very nice project. I like the ensemble you made for this bedroom. Your shop is nicer than mine. Can I come for two weeks and practice watching you work in a live settings? Oh, and your humor is top notch. Just like me, my family never know what to expect.

[@larryradelet1503]

You definitely have a gift and a love for your daughter,nicely done 😊

[@patriciaross1336]

Beautiful wood. I guess I am a little odd in that I am a retired nurse anesthetist who loves to knit but I have always been fascinated with building complicated furniture and wood turnings. Love your videos. How long have you been on You tube?

[@jeanb103]

I love your daughter’s comments. Glad you made an awesome chair!

[@jacintarichardson2376]

Comfy! That chair looks lovely. I'm sure she'll treasure it for years

[@jasonstarr6419]

almost a year after this was posted... i'm always amazed at a) what you "see" in your design mind, and b) the meticulous attention to detail. Many (MANY) years ago, I built a coffee table for the TV room so my and my (then) wife could eat while we watched TV. It was two 3'-4x12's with some 2x8's nailed across them on top with dark stain. weighed about 200 pounds. took ten minutes to build. You need framing, concrete, plumbing, electrical, roofing? I'm your guy. Fine furniture like this? call Johnny!

[@alankott3129]

LOL.... to this day I still do the 'Safety Squint' when watching welding on KZbin. Once you get a welding burn, you never forget. We Built this City is an awesome song. XD

[@JonnyBuilds]

On rock and roooooolllllll!

[@stewartg2101]

"COMFY" that was an excellent couple of builds. Thank you for sharing.

[@TangerineUnicornDesign]

I'm so glad I have a great upholsterer, it's one thing I''ve never been able to get right and now, I know when to outsource! Great builds though, super cool. The chair might have benefitted from some casters on the bottom.

[@danieldurkton2942]

Happy New Year’s Jonny !!! The table and chair came out awesome great job…

[@brucebissell7626]

WAY, WAY AWESOME DAD! GOD BLESS YOU.

[@peterdickason9147]

Mmm Mmm Mmm Comfy. You have me wanting to build myself a chair for this old bad back. I used to have a sailboat once and made the bench cushions the exact same way. material on wood with stapled down vinyl covering. I was quite proud of them. :)

[@Kls1972sm]

COMFY..Great work DAD..Love the comedy too..BEAUTIFUL work SIR..She will love even when she moves out and gets her own place, im sure..

[@JorgeFigueroa-lx6rh]

Comfy Absolutely beautiful combo furniture. Really dig that chair! Gerry Rafferty - Right Down the Line is my feel good, one too many drinks, blasting it at 150%, make my neighbors 2km away file a noise complaint song... uncertain how obscure or underrated that one is though...

[@BobDeGuerre]

Chair looks awesome! You're an awesome dad too. Thank you for leaving in the left arm blunder. So many people on here aspire for perfection in both process and product. It's nice to see that even pros can have brain-farts and the product still turns out well. Underrated song? Gerry Rafferty, Get it Right Next Time 😉

[@lisajean228]

Comfy! Great projects, you are so talented!

[@PCMediK]

Great project overall... Love the chair... I thought it could use some casters to make moving it a bit easier...

[@tonybrock5288]

This may be a bit late but ... for the cushions you should consider different layers of foam, ie: a laminate of differing densities. Starting with a thickish and firm base layer - to keep the structure, then a less firm layer in the middle for comfort and then a soft thinner layer on top - one of those foams with a profile like the inside of an egg box - for breathability and comfort.

[@jimputnam7539]

Dude that chair is amazing!! The total boat paint on the table base was sweet too. Comfy

[@decosse01]

Comfy! I enjoyed the video and the workmanship is fabulous! If I could make one tiny critique, for me the base looks just too oversize for the seating part of the chair and maybe overwhelms it a bit, especially in that setting. But that's just a personal perspective and shouldn't dilute what it is an incredibly well executed project and fun video. And the 'customer' was well pleased!! :)

[@JohnFourtyTwo]

I was thinking the same thing about the base, it’s too wide and to high in my opinion. Everything else is awesome.

[@mjb12141963]

Comfy!! Nice chair! I wish I had such a well stocked shop. Covering seat cushions is easy if you know how it's done. Some quality time on KZbin will show you all you need to know. My wife figured it out in an afternoon, and did 7 dinning room chairs in a day. Including removal, cleaning the nasty seats under the cushions, cutting and shaping new cushioning for the seat. Ours do not have backs. I would have put casters on the legs, and from experience I have found five legs on a chair is much more stable.

[@SWA-Projects]

Comfy! I felt i had to comment, maybe peer group pressure 🤣 Really nice build. Your bowties look pretty good from what I can tell, and just overall a very great video, you got me through the entire building process without skipping any of it. Thanks for sharing👌👍

Most underrated, yet very new song is from a band called "Nomy" they did a mashup from 5 80's songs in there own style about a month ago. Without peaking look if you can find out the titels. (Unfortunatly the bands are already in the title of the video) Comfy!

[@thealphacruze]

Well Done on that Bow-tie Johny, that was pretty cool, seeing you doing one by hand, there's just something about hand done Bow-ties

"Comfy" Love the inlay work. I've done brass inlay but have not done epoxy work yet. Keep up the dad jokes and the thunder cats shirt. Stay awesome.

[@lindahowe5618]

Comfy! and I love the 2 different wood species. My other half did wood turning and was always mixing wood for design and style! I think the cushions should be firmer but the rounded pleats have a more girl vibe to them. I hope you discuss with the upholsterer about not making it too boxy and formal.
