Beautiful chair Jimmy! And what an awesome experience. :)

Top bloke

[@kleckerklotz9620]

I was wondering, what you would say. Loved your take on the Windsor Chair too, Neil.

[@jimmydiresta]

Yes it was! So funny you did it too!! in your boosh tee 😂😂 thank you! fir the book BTW ❤️❤️

[@____julia____]

Had to question my memory then! I thought, no it's Neil who made the chair. Great idea from two greats

[@rockstarfan886]

This brings back some memories of watching the woodwrights shop on PBS growing up. Roy Underhill is a ledgend

[@ericstoever9577]

The biggest lesson for us, your KZbin audience: never stop learning. Thanks for sharing the experience!

[@johnblake3863]

What a wonderful reward to be able to sit in your own built Windsor chair. Gorgeous.

[@jmsmith1767]

NEVER STOP LEARNING! A talent like you Jimmy still “going to school” I love it!

[@clausfrennessen2362]

Love it’ whay you don’t go to Sweden and learn! Same nife and the rest? Fan Sweden 🇸🇪. Fore a long time!

[@sjv6598]

That is a beautiful chair! You’re right though, when we have finished a project, the pleasure we get from saying “I made that” is sometimes immeasurable 😊

[@OpalSea]

Makes me so happy seeing you and other makers like Anne of All Trades together doing what you love

[@PaulMeyette]

I am blown away at the process. The craftsmanship is amazing. Greg seems to be an amazing teacher, showing the ins and outs to build these wonderful works of art. Great job Jimmy. 💙

[@Nandel67120]

Seeing Jimmy on the school benches (the school rocking chairs I should say) is surprising. Who knew he still had more to learn. It was a superb video. Thank you craftsman 👍

[@Z-Bart]

From boat builder to chair builder. You've done it all Jimmy! Very Nice.

[@vastyesaltydog]

Wonderful work Jimmy, I love green woodworking and Windsor chairs. The brits will be begging you to go to the Bodger’s Ball next!

[@RojasCarpentry]

A trip to remember! I learned so much. Huge thank you to Greg!! Can't wait for the next one Jim 👊🏼

[@STWHA_]

I was trying to imagine the laser aspect of this when you described it in the podcast. Holy smokes, that is cool!! Great job.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Outstanding job on that chair. Looks like Greg outs on a great class.

[@michaels136]

Even with all the modern tools it still looks like a challenge. So cool.

[@dpmakestuff]

I attended a class at Greg's in 2022 and it was so so great. Watching this brought me right back. Great job and a fine looking chair Jimmy. P.S. I'll pay top dollar for the real time footage of Greg turning that leg!

[@tomim7187]

Jimmy, it's absolutely beautiful! Well done, brother!

[@Bunk599]

Great. What a fantastic chair and process. Many clever tricks of the trade. In this day and age of CAD & CNC everything a chair handcrafted with skill and physical effort must be quite satisfying.....it is for me the viewer. Everything about the shop is charming and appropriate for the task.

[@LudwigHohlwein1974]

Great video. So enjoyed watching the whole, fascinating process. Cheers Jimmy

[@tysonkoehn1]

I was waiting for the huge spray painted "Diresta" across the top of the seat!

[@urbanlumberjack]

Nice work in the chair! What a great experience

[@CihaPet]

Doing something like this is definitely '"Bucket List" material. Looks like an awesome experience.

[@migomat]

Jimmy you are the best as always.

[@robdean54]

MAN! such a very cool workspace! I bet it smells fantastic in there! haha

[@athiker7209]

You did a beautiful job on that chair.

[@Netbug]

Awesome... looks like a great environment to learn in as well.

[@bencline9701]

Great video! Great to chat with you this past weekend!

[@adamkoontz2914]

Greg is a fantastic teacher and his class is worth every penny. 2022 comb-back student. Thanks for posting this video.

[@plakor6133]

A big accomplishment.

[@michellezenner]

You are amazing! ❤ Love a wood chair rockee!

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Wow, how fabulous! Such a wonderful compilation of 21st century wizardry happily married to techniques of the ages, creating extraordinary fineness with elegant lines, yet strong & delightful to gently rock in. The entire endeavor coupling love of quality work with the camaraderie of makers brought together by KZbin interactions & the vision of one man to provide outstanding teaching with the finest tools available. We live in such wondrous times. Thank you for sharing!

[@dennisbracci9212]

Awesome video. Beautiful chair. Everyone did a great job. Building chairs is artwork.

[@liammc47]

Beautiful heirloom piece, for sure. Great to see that you can share your experiences as well as learning new skills. Well done, sir. (I learned a new word: frow)

[@MASI_forging]

Great work. The chair looks beautiful 😊😊

[@birdseyeview1543]

[@garthbutton699]

[@MrDanyoumell]

beautiful job Jimmy!

[@vincentvega8132]

You like a Mel Gibson. just got it right the first time. Good teacher you have.the secret is in splitting logs like for a barrel board. And many other things)))

[@christianblack2916]

I smiled at ye olde traditional laser! Nothing wrong with incorporating new stuff to make trad stuff better

[@garaghnyi_trud]

Итличная работа парни! Джо в подарок!👍

[@jpwoodwork]

[@RYwoodview]

I built a Windsor chair with friends following Mike Dunbar's methods. One of the best experiences of my woodworking life!

[@marcmmclellan]

Good old fashioned craftsmanship!

[@ElmerJFudd-oi9kj]

I had to laugh when I imagined putting the rockers on sideways by mistake 🤣

[@thedistractedmaker]

Chairmaker perfect! Bucket list for sure

[@quirkygreece]

[@Jbobonline]

Fun project ❤

[@sapelesteve]

What a mindboggling rocking chair build Jimmy! I would love to take that course and build one of those amazing chairs! Thanks for taking us along! Rock On......... 👍👍🔨🔨

[@TheGrainDoctor]

Great account of the experience - thanks, Jimmy!

[@Shawnbbeckner]

What a cool experience. Love this style of video.

[@stevefranks9873]

This was such an amazing video to watch. You always post awesome videos of course. But knowing you were also learning while creating is amazing. I watched it twice already and I want one!

[@DavidDavis-fishing]

Gooood morning from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great day!

[@princess33064]

The author does like to from scratch, kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

[@davidwhiren817]

Never too old to learn & experience !!!

[@NemoSampaio]

Never stop learning! Great lesson and outstanding chair!

[@Meister1551]

That was an outstanding video and you ended up with a beautiful rocking chair. Thanks for sharing this with the world...

[@bcbloc02]

The steam bending is always wild to me.

[@alastairmackay4589]

[@ericluba6287]

[@claytoncooper422]

[@GibClark]

[@alansmith4734]

I follow April Wilkerson, who is from Texas. She took Greg's Class in 2020. I started to enjoy watching Wood Working in the 70's, after watching Norm Abram's from This Old House. April Wilkerson w/ Greg in 2020: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZuxiYFuf7etZs0 PS - Your cats will be nervous, because you have a rocking chair. Old Saying - As nervous as a cat, in a room full of rocking chairs!

[@rickhand8228]

Great video, lighting, close ups, interior of (school) shop was very warm & inviting but did not see any coffee /snack area..hey, where's the nourishment?..oops, it's Tenneessee, so guess the Burbon was off camera, aye? That was a great video showing enormous complication to build your steam bent wood rocking chair. Great job filming & editing.👍👍. Stay safe & carry on !😊

[@TrevorHigginsDustysqueak]

This is a great edit of what was all of my IG feed for the week that you all were there. Stellar work Anne, Jimmy, Rob and Pat.
