Wooden Patio Chair Build || I Saved 700 Dollars

[@b.a.ritzenthaler5874]

Jason, I’m sitting on a pier in Souda Bay, Greece listening to this video without head phones. A Greek gentleman heard your voice and said, “Bourbon Moth?” You’re world famous!

That's brilliant lol

[@Diasx]

This is a particularly awesome comment!

I'm sitting in my living room and my wife said "he sounds just like Ryan Reynolds. So there's that 😆

[@danielap.8239]

You are an absolute delight to watch. The precious and the pride you take in your work is amazing.

[@Erik_The_Viking]

I've been building furniture for my parents because of the sticker shock at the stores. Even factoring in cost of materials and my time it was worth all of the effort. I get to learn and practice new woodworking techniques and the results are higher quality.

[@Zie_carpentry]

Hello friend 🙏😊🤝🤝

[@woodworks2123]

Exactly, it's much better for your mind and soul

[@luisbarquero5704]

Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!

[@markusbaumgartner3817]

I watched all of your videos and I keep watching it. I never comment. Not my place. Today, I don't know why, I felt I need to say something. I love what you do, how you do it and I love who you are. You are brilliantly funny and expertly precise. It is mindblowing. Never stop. Greetings from Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

[@geekcommentator8567]

I cannot articulate how perfectly timed this is. Was literally about to make a chair like this this weekend. Happy to watch for some added inspiration and guidance.

[@AB-C1]

Yeah I been thinking about it weather been crap though got garde to do, this is next possibly 🙄🤦🏻🤣😎

[@eskbmxrdr1]

Excellent build my man!! I wanted to drop a note and let you know that I bought the plans and am currently looking them over. There are a few mistypes or inconsistencies between the measurements on the pictures of the boards and the actual cut list. Not a huge deal. But, if someone went ahead and ran with the cut list, the apron would be short by an inch and the back legs would be short by an inch and a half or so. No worries on my end but I wanted to let the community know in case anybody else needed to jazz up their back porch!

[@toddmichaelryan]

I also didn’t see the board feet for the 6/4 slats.

[@salimufari]

8:28 A tip for the repeat cuts on the steep angle before you run that through the saw. Screw in a pair of blocks to a miter sled that rides on one side of the blad. No need for a full width sled for this. One on the end & one on the back of the cut piece. This way when you do the other parts you just seat them into those blocks so all 4 match. Much easier than the router table gag.

[@jayp6990]

32:20 Time now for a matching side table build!

[@DaveSchneider42]

I've now made four of these chairs and have some tips and tricks. Referring to the downloaded plans, there are four pieces in each side frame: A - Bottom apron B - Front leg C - Bottom leg support D - Back leg In general, the dimensions and angles in this plan need to be rather accurate. A 1/16 of an inch or half a degree of angle inaccuracy can lead to pieces out of alignment. 1) The pieces of each side frame should be considered as a set. Mark them and keep them separate. 2) Do not cut (B) until you have cut and dry fit parts (A) and (C). Then trace and extend the sides of those pieces on a piece of cardboard to define (B). Only then can you cut out and fine tune (B). 3) Don't attach (D) until the other three parts have been dry fit. Layout the sides on top of each other with the (D)s slid into the half-laps. Make sure that they align before screwing them down. I used 3/8" dowels and waterproof glue. That seems to have worked. I also make a bench out of two of the chairs by connecting them with an extra set of slats. Dave

[@effu9593]

Beautiful

[@aarondrossart6026]

I love working with sapele. It's my absolute favorite. cuts like a dream Also, I have the powertec dowel jig set. I honestly think it's faster than dominos. You drill 2 holes per setup and you only need a single center reference line. No hip thrusting involved :) Also, also! At my work, we call that radius on mating components a "glamour groove". It intentionally makes a larger gap so you can't tell when there is a tiny gap there! I'm happy to see that you stumbled upon something that engineers use regularly when designing parts!

[@vincentl2841]

🤣🤣🤣 I loved your intro how you stared at the camera then "Hey..," hilarious I love to watch your work extremely professional and humorous. 👍👍👍

[@billmorash3322]

Of course those chairs are comfortable. Wait twenty years when your knees won't agree. As always, great video. A perfect meld of information and entertainment.

[@Ro2006Ro]

Hi, I love your work. I've been doing this only for a couple of years so pretty much a rookie still and I've learnt a lot from watcing your videos. Just in case you weren't kidding about not knowing how to take an angle from sketchup, the protractor is under Tools menu. Keep up the good work!

[@raynechantel2738]

Beautiful - they could have been built with less expensive wood (if there is such a thing) and been even more affordable - but Sapele is gorgeous!!

[@LordiLortsen]

I love your videos. Informative, funny and for me as a German a good training in my mid-30s to deepen my school English a little more. keep it up. Greetings from Germany. Skål.🥃🍻

[@jaredbrunskill2540]

Im going to make these for myself. Everyone and their dog are making adirondack chairs. its nice to see something different. Sapeli is to expense in my part of Canada so i think ill make them out of cedar. Thanks Jason.

I really liked the design and build of these two chairs! Your Craftsmanship is exceptionally awesome! Well done, Sir!

[@curbshooter]

Thank you for sticking with project builds.

[@warrenmunn3224]

The satisfaction of knowing you made the chairs from scratch, over 5 or 6 weekends for the average person, makes up for all the hours spent on the construction.

[@raymitchell9736]

I think Craig is working out just fine at the shop... I like the way he tests stuff for you, at 1:14... I mean... what's not to love?

[@lackleonhard3981]

Jason i Love your Videos. After the First Minute there was the First smile und my face. Great Job on the chairs. And i was hoping that the last scene would be exactly like this. Thanks for smiling and learning. Peace, Love and greetings to your Family from Germany

[@flamabl1]

Just screw in some support pieces on your sled/jig when you get the first piece lined up and then it becomes repeatable and you won't need to use the first one as a router template to get them all exact. Check out some of Shaun Boyds videos, that's where I saw it.

[@Chuckletopia]

The flicking commitment in the story...amazing!

[@claytonreed7489]

This is an awesome build, I have wanted to build chair that I see in magazines for a long time, any chance you could do a video about how to use sketch up for dummies like me????

[@MandoHalrissian]

Your honesty about your design "inspiration" is inspiration in itself 😂

[@crankstonshnord6591]

If you ever have to duplicate an angle on a "poorman taper jig" like that again, you can screw a couple of blocks of wood into your plywood when the first piece is still held down with double sided tape. Then, you just use those blocks of wood as fences to get your other pieces aligned when you tape them down.

[@glittalogik]

Chris Salamone uses this in a lot of his videos, good example here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnPHf4h4frqjrtE

[@crankstonshnord6591]

@@glittalogik cool! Never heard of him I'll check him out!

[@knotemployedwoodworking]

Keith was right with rounding over everything 🧐 First with the Epoxy and now round overs! You monster. 😂

[@kliether33]

You have the most relaxing and comical woodworking channel on KZbin, and I watch Rex Kruger. Nice job man. I aspire to your level of zen. Maybe the bourbon cereal is the secret.

[@wainwright2868]

Hey you building this chair was masterfully made, however your narration is the best I've heard Keep up the good work 😂

[@countrymagic61]

In Sketchup, I use grid lines all the time. When creating a circle, square, rectangle, etc., the pointer SNAPs at the intersection of the grid lines. Also, after using the "Tape Measure" to create the grid lines, you then can use the "Dimension" tool to measure, or just use the "Tape". I am not an expert with Sketchup. However, I do know my way around pretty will.

[@TG_humaN]

Good to know where the hardwood centre holds the good stuff. I'll keep it in mind next time I hop over there

[@ThatGuyWithMinecraft]

Literally saw this exact chair and was planning to make it! This is hilarious, the internet overlords really do control us.

[@NoName-nb9qi]

Not only am I gonna save money building these, I love when people ask me where I bought it and I tell them I build it. It’s a nice conversation while drinking some beers

[@RockyRiverWoodworks]

Awesome work. I love just connecting the dots. Way better than math!

[@SirMorpheus]

In older versions of Sketchup, you could use the Escape key to reset the pencil tool to keep it from drawing continuous lines. Maybe that still works in newer versions.

[@michael7324]

And I like to use a mouse, not the mouse pad.

[@johnmagro5984]

Really love your show s

[@SeanChYT]

I really would like a hardwood center in my region. The only choices I have for lumber are either spruce, spruce, spruce or spruce. If I am lucky there will be some pine one in a while.

[@raydriver7300]

Lovely job. I went through one of my patio chairs yesterday when I was sitting on a deck with a neighbour yesterday. I think I’ve found my next project 🌞

[@ruiwang9924]

Lol I almost bought those chairs from the store!! They are incredibly comfortable and quite big!

[@joegutierrez4197]

Awesome build Jason! That sapele was an awesome choice and I'm so glad you just left it natural. I almost cried when you toasted your sapele swing! To be honest, that turned out great too! Keep up the great work! Blessings to you and yours!!!👍

[@lolaharwood619]

A tip for the angle measurement in sketchup- draw a line that follows the midpoint of the piece you want to measure. Isolate the line by clicking it with the mouse. Use the rotate tool (looks like a 360° protractor) and rotate the line about the endpoint until it goes through the midpoint perpendicularly, PAYING ATTENTION TO THE NUMBER THAT TELLS YOU HOW MANY DEGREES YOU HAVE TURNED THROUGH, and boom, angle measured only using the normal tools

[@pacificdune]

Hi Jason, liked and subscribed…. This may need to be my next project after I finish my new front door…. For which I bought thousands of dollars of Festool equipment for…. At any rate, I can bet the Crate and Barrel chairs were not made with dominoes, and did not use sepele wood. So, you paid half price, got higher quality results, used better materials, and had fun and satisfaction. Works for me.

[@andrewsmith4492]

Beautiful chairs At 19:52 that clamp is missing the red pad. Just last week I was using the same clamps and realized one was missing. I have the same clamp sir.

[@robertmadden7324]

i would also like to see the collection of plans you have available. I just got started on my workshop and I really want to start building shit. I totally like your sense of humor, that's the kind of shit I find funny. Keep on keepin' on.

[@NooijsAudio]

Cool chairs!! Now I've something like those on my mind.... Thanks on behalf of my wife... 😁😁😁 A small tip, in Sketchup, you can use the protractor function to measure your angles. 😉

[@timcloutier3729]

This video was so relaxing to watch. If I was told he was building my "coffin" for my own funeral...........I'd be alright with that. 🤘🏻😉 EXCELLENT tutorial brothaah!!! A MUST needed chair for my fire pit area.

[@casual257]

you can use the protractor in Sketchup to find the angle ... easy!

[@LuisSanchez-wf9zw]

Hi, Jason. I was wondering why you used that Fast Cure for the Dado joints instead of using say the flexible total epoxy to help with the exterior environment’s strain on the wood with expansion/contraction?

[@AnnemarieHulsman]

selfmade chair combined with selfmade firepitt and both look BEAUTIFUL! always like the fun guys jokes

Nice easy chair to make. Adapted for a two seater. 90 degree with corner table.

Thank you for sharing the video. You did a great job and it was nice listening. Thanks for posting.

[@Jeffcvt]

The chairs look awesome, and yes while you *do* have those thousands of dollars of specialty tools and spent hours and hours to save about $700 on them, you cannot understate the value of knowing they'll last. If you decided to just buy the ones online, how do you know they wouldn't break in 2 or 3 years, forcing you do buy new chairs again? Take that into account, and you could very well be saving thousands of dollars over the life of them. Also, not to say the epoxy isn't going to hold just fine, but why not use Titebond III? It is a water*proof* wood glue as tested using ANSI/HPVA Type I testing standards, and would no doubt be much easier to work with when using dominoes. I've always wondered why you don't use this glue, because if you look up the test to be rated type I, it's honestly pretty amazing to me a glue can even stay together after it, much less have any measurable strength. I feel like it should have no problems holding up to normal outdoor use, and I've never had any issues with it personally.

[@runeosnor]

I really like your dry sense of humor! 🙂

[@MekareP]

Apt timing. I was looking for patio furniture and the prices are insane. Inflation can only account for so much 😮‍💨

[@paulstern4085]

Jason - Ive never used Sketch up but I am lazy and do not like math either. I also have ADHD which causes me to always try and think of easier ways of doing things. To that end, could you print a 2D, life-size image of the piece (or end of the piece) you are trying to angle, cut it out with scissors (or a paper cutter for a straight edge) and then use that as a template for multiple pieces?

[@heimwerkerzeit]

Great woodworking project. 😀👍

[@PrincessTS01]

im gonna use 2x4 cedar should be fine... a few cedar fence pickets and you got slats too.

[@ammo1033]

Jason, those are some good looking chairs! appears to be relatively easy to build!

[@vbaspcppguy]

Those roundovers in the joints are going to be advantageous in a few years when the finish at the joints will normally have visibly cracked from being outside.

[@ted9876]

Nice work. Like the round over/shadow line idea. I use it all the time also. Kind of camouflage

[@mbgrocott7115]

I don't have the tools to make the chairs you made but I stuck with the whole show just for the entertainment value. And...I did pick up some ideas for a different design which I can build with the few tools I do have. If you ever do a video on how you make pizza, I'll watch that one too.

[@johnnyutah1053]

You should make some out of pallet furniture!! Haha! Another awesome build. The roundover was a really good idea and looks great

[@andrewcairns2288]

Dude, I had to pause the video to come and tell you to get a mouse for sketchup! A mouse with a scroll wheel improves the user experience exponentially compared to using a track pad. Also, thanks for the videos, they're always great

[@boppe1299]

Jason, can you make a tutorial on using sketch up and using it to design furniture? I’m new to sketch up and I could use some help learning to use it.

[@jlansdale536]

Whiskey in the cereal? You are an inspiration. Love the content.

[@priyavazare]

Nice chairs.. and fun watching video..

[@CaptainWyatt]

I'm sure someone else beat me to this - but use your Esc key to kill the pencil tool once you've drawn the line you want. Much faster than going back up to the pencil button in the toolbar.
