I've been meaning to make an industrial style chair for a long time and I actually have a couple more that I'd like to make too. This style of furniture appeals to me and I really enjoyed making it too. For this project I replicated an old chair I saw in a photo and worked it out from there. If you want to see the original, do a search for 'Rubery Owens stools'.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

No matter what you do - keep on! I love this video as much as your others, with the aluminum feet you really got me. You are the greatest example of what is possible even if you don‘t have each and every tool. Improvisation is key!
Bostin Job 😁
Is that a portaband on a hinge?
Looks brillianr. how springy is the seat?
the design would lend itself for an height adjustable chair, by inserting a threaded shaft in the 2 big metal pieces... but if way too high already it may not be possible to insert that mechanism and get back enough height to your liking...
Quite possibly, the single most skilled thing you did with this wonderful project was 'welding up a simple jig for the fly press'! Pretty effective way to accurately bend a steel bar along the edge like that! As always, a very creative project, done masterfully!
Back when you restored the fly press I thought now what good is that tool. What could he possibly use that for in his shop. Well now I know. Very nice chair.
It is so easy for Pask to hide his mistakes in editing, but he always keeps them in the video. This not only shows his integrity but also shows to all of us planning some projects that mistakes are always possible and sholud never stop us from trying and continuing. Thank you Mr. Pask!!!
Who ever did not like this, they are totally blind.
This is totally a craftsmanship.
I wanted to suggest that "craftsmanship" was the word you wanted, but "marksmanship" works - he "hit the mark". So cool. :)
"Oh I accidentally drilled straight through, well I'll just cover it up"
"Oh I shouldn't have used plywood, it chips, I'll just cover that up"
"Oh I don't want to blacken the nuts, but they are on the under side so no one will see"
Great chair still, but I wouldn't say hes the greatest "marksman". A great craftsman would right those wrongs
After watching what has happend in the USA over the last years, and especially months, I'm so convinced, that there more idiots out there than I thought, and some of them just love to spend their time on YT opening video after video just to give them a thumbs down. Not watching or knowing what the videos are about, as they really don't care!
It just makes their day perfect, the more videos they can dislike and the more they can spread their bad vibes!
They are just scum, these anonymous cowards! That's all to say about them! Scum!
Normal people just watch and give a thumbs up to the videos we like, evt. write a comment now and then, and we move on when there are videos we're not interested in. Simple as that! Right? (y)
@@pirakoXX Absolutely you are right.
Man! I love watching you make this stuff but I cant imagine having as much patience as you do for some of these builds hahaha
The aluminum feet was the most impressive to me. Whole project was amazing. Looks awesome!!!
I have to agree with Greg Norvell on that aspect of the build. The aluminum balls looked perfect, they showed real craftsmanship. Super nice build, I so enjoyed watching you make things from a photo! Please keep em coming!! Thanks for sharing :)
Exactly! Use the tools you have to the max!
Glad you enjoyed that Greg! It was the only way I could think of and I was determined to make them somehow! :)
Agree! I was sure you would say after making one that it was too much. But they look awesome.
Bending on the fly press is inspired. Super impressed by that. Great job.
Glad you liked it!
Pask sharpieing screws black makes me feel weirdly better about myself😂
I consistently find myself unable to express my admiration for your work. All of it, fresh and original content, skill, patience, ingenuity, editing. Thank you for beeing on youtube Neil.
I always enjoy single part videos, I’ll watch 2 part ones. When they start to get multiple over weeks then I won’t watch as easy, unless the parts are already out. But you Neil I’ll always watch.
Lovely project, Neil, well done.
And thanks a lot.... now I need a flypress. I've been fascinated with them for quite a while from blacksmithing channels. You just don't see them for sale often in the US.
Glad to see you got a metal bandsaw. I don't know how handy/maker people live without one. They're not "good" tools, but they are indispensable. I've had one for ~25 years, and pro tip, the top wheel bushing needs greasing once a year or so, otherwise they wear out.
Wonderful science demonstration while bending the steel with the fly-press. The color/texture change shows what regions are now in compression, tension, and unchanged.
Every inch of your move is worth watching. Insha-Allah (if GOD willing) sure I will make this chair and the welding work table.
Many thanks for bringing up these ideas GOD BLESS YOU take care
@Pask Makes, instead of heating the 'whole' area when you try to 'unbend' the tight radius, you can simply heat the longest side of the radius to a red hot in a few places around the area to correct. This makes the steel expand while hot (making a tigher curve/radius yes) and contract to an even smaller area than what it originally was. You can also use this to correct straightness on a pole, per example, after welding heavy passes on one side which will make that pole curve like there's no tommorrow. Doing some 'spot heating', every couple inches afterwards will essentially do the opposite and straightenthe piece.

I loved watching your craftsmanship and attention to detail. I have an original “Blade” chair as they are called which I am restoring. I understand that they were produced for the Air Ministry in the 1950’s. Sadly there is nothing online about how the chair was designed and developed. I would love to get more history about it as part of our lost UK industrial heritage. Rubery Owen were a significant engineering company at one time manufacturing components for aircraft and vehicles amongst many other components.
Marvellous piece of work, reminds me of chair bodgers working with coppicewood and a pole lathe. Now I want a chair like that of course!
An artist's eye + amazing craftsmanship + hard work + patience = beautiful, functional furniture. Your photography site is also amazing. Impressive!
Love the rustic table in the background as well
I loved the rinsing of the bolts in a strainer over a full bucket. I will try to remember that one for the future. Great project by the way.
I love the blue tint to the blackening process.
The transition of the back rest supports blackening was so satisfying! Such clean execution!
Oh yeah! I can see why you choose that design of chair.
It's really encouraging to see you showing your greater range of skills with addition of the metal shop.
Another great addition to the shop!
I find it amazing when a craftsman says "Oh, I didn't have a mill (or metal lathe), I did the best with what I had" and the result is stunning. Well done. Love the design and the execution. Can I order a dozen?
Beautiful video. It blows my mind that you can cold-work on a fly-press that effectively. I would've gone right to the forge with that. I've always wanted a fly-press, but now I really want one.
Really enjoyed this one, every step was interesting and well thought out. My favorite part are the feet, and I loved how you made them with what you had
Awesome brother. I hope I can get back making stuff again. I have so much talent but not the health to stand up and walk. One day at a time, I am stubborn enough I will get back my life and hopefully one day show you all few cool designs I built. Including free energy power.
You are my absolute favorite RUclipsr!
What a fantastic piece dude..
Your vids are always full of tips and tricks for all those folk who only have limited tools.
Great stuff as always....
Glad to see the fly press getting some good use put in, it's a super cool tool.
I am SO IMPRESSED with that fly press. I had no idea you could cold work steel, essentially by hand. That's incredible.
I was not expecting the legs to bend so nicely on the fly press! Nice work!
Wow. Very nice design and excellent manufacturing. Congratulations from Mexico
Awesome job mate!! I am a big fan of this style as well. Absolutely live it!!
Thanks for the content and you always give such good explanation as well. Cheers
You sir are a master woodworker and an Amazing steel fabricator and all around genius ! Amazing videos Mate..
Boiled linseed oil is my favourite finish for wood or steel. Good job.
Bloody brilliant Neil! No end to your improvisation skills.. regards, Mark (South Africa)
I like seeing your process on the fly using basic tools and included all your setbacks. Great piece👍
Love it! I need one. I really enjoy the cleanliness of the little feet covers. They look fantastic. Knife walls help tame splinter prone plywood. Cheers!
Incredible work as ususal. I particularly like the work you did on the feet of the chair.
Hello Mr. Neil! I've been watching your videos a long time and you've inspired me in the way that you did woodworking but eventually had a foray into metalworking. I found myself inspired, going from solely resin and 3d-printed art into sewing. I'm in the process of making my first full costume right now! Cheers to broadening horizons!
Sewing is really cool! can I ask what you are sewing?
Awesome - good luck with the costume! :)
Beautiful job, the foot rest will really finish it off well.
You never cease to amaze me with your creativity, skills and patience.
Superb build on this old-time machinists chair. This sort of remind me of a chair I sat in a drafting class way back.
Always looking forward to your new videos, keep them coming.
Beautiful job. I'm so glad to see you use gun bluing. I use it a lot on steel items. As the stool legs were being made I was thinking what great sled runners they would make.👍
I feel like I'm becoming a bit of a scratched record here, but you sir are as ever a patient craftsman, with attention to detail that is rather extraordinary.
Once again, this was a joy to watch, and showcases your talent and skillet with both wood and metal work!
Thanks very much Joseph - glad you enjoyed it! :)
your craftsmanship is exceptional!
Very good workshop, excellent, inventive, down-to-earth CRAFTmanship and we have our relaxing dose of the day! Pask does MAKE!
Man you have a steady hand on that bandsaw ! Beautiful bench congrats.
YOu're super skilled Sir .. well done... loved the video and the stool
That fly press worked amazingly well!
great work mate. that is really nice. The fly press made short work of the bending. Cool as. Also the new band saw looks too be pretty effortless
Top level of workmanship, exemplary !
Your attention to detail is remarkable.
Great video. Yep, not all plywood is created equal.
It's funny the lengths we all have gone to working with cheap plywood.
Extra 10 bucks and that top ply is just that little bit thicker.
It’s cool seeing the metal change colors when the bending force hits it.
might be the scale chipping off?
The last time that Pask said "I'm not sure how to make that" was in 1983.
No, he says it all the time, then adds "but I'll give it a go", and makes something amazing!
@@sciangear4782 came here to say that. What a great attitude to have towards life!
Basically the Australian Chuck Norris.
I just can't get over how clever you are with all these projects...awesome job as always.
I so much enjoy your projects and when I came home from a long workday tonight (7 AM to 7 PM GMT+1 Stockholm) and went on YT and saw that you put up a new one it made me genuinely happy! Great project and great camera work as always! Cheers!
This is an AMAZING project!! The fact that you saw something you liked and then were able to recreate it is like a superpower. I envy you 💕💕
Good job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Beautiful creation, congratulations Neil. It is not easy to combine woodworking with that of iron with this precision and quality. SL
Your projects and craftsmanship never cease to amaze me.
Your work as ever is fantastic. Wish I had more than a 7 x 4 shed to work with.
Fantastic build. Thank you for sharing. I now want a Fly Press. Never saw or heard of it before. I know of the Arbor Press.
Wow you are one talented individual. Well done Sir, love watching your videos. Thank you. 👍👍👍
Man, that looks great! You've got a ton of patience, making all those aluminum foot pieces that way would have driven me nuts!
Looks amazing, fantastic job mate 👍🏾
Foot rest will absolutely fit right in with this design...👌🏾
I really enjoyed the build process and I also love the industrial style of the chair. I never would have thought that flat bar would bend in the direction where it has the most resistance to bending. A true functional work of Art!
Fantastic build. Extremely satisfying to watch every step of the project! 👍👍👍👍
Man I just keep getting amazed with your craftsmanship. Amazing work. I'm a wooden sailboat architect/builder and do build them myself so I hope you understand the recognition I have for your works.
Great film, nice story telling. Very beautiful chair. Love that fly press. Mahalo for sharing! : )
That looked like a lot of work. Turned out nice
Love it and gave me some ideas. Cap nuts might be an option for a more finished look to the bolt ends.
Great job Neil, good interpretation thanks
I love your ingenuity. Your solution for making the ball feet was impressive.
Stellar work as always Neil. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Wow! Is there anything too hard for Pask! I am addicted to your videos, look forward to the next one! So awesome!!!
Such a wonderful chair...you are really skilled !!!
Turned out very awesome keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work make on my friend
Well done, mate.
As an aside, if you throw the steel parts into a bath of vinegar, with their mill-scale still on them, the scale will usually vanish in twenty-four hours. Saves on noise, 'lectricity, grinding discs, ear torture, and so on. If you want to speed it up, use a solution of water and 10% hydrochloric acid (also known as muriatic acid), available from the local hardware shop. That takes only a couple of hours.
For oddly-shaped parts like these you can make a "bathtub" from scrap wood (you got plenty of that) and that orange plastic sheeting used by the chaps who dabble in concrete. They put it under concrete slabs and footings, but it's cheap, easy to use, acid-proof, and readily available. In Australia, the most common brand is "Fortecon", also available at your local hardware shop.
Just sayin'
Your skill level will never cease to amaze. I look forward to every build, the fact that you always own your mistakes makes it even more enjoyable!
I love the way your work is more about the process than the result. And still the result is always amazing
I so enjoyed this detailed video of all the metal working tools and the chair made using them. You are incredible!
hope you got your mill by now, want to see more of your video's, with metal work, awesome.
Beautiful work sir. As always I enjoyed this very much. Well done!
Easily my favorite of your videos. Such a great showcase for your myriad talents and clever construction. Kudos!
Simple beautiful and also creative work.
I found your vehicle draw slides video a while ago and ended up staying to check out your other fantastic videos. Quite inspirational. Thank you !!
Insane amount of work. That is not an industrial style chair- its a piece of art and there was a lot more timeand effort put into it than some modern "art pieces".
Absolutely beautiful. Loved it.
Great Job Neil!! Always inspirational!!
seriously this is my new favorite channel.... your builds are so amazing.
Good old school chair.Good job.Regards.
Awesome to hear you're adding a milling machine to your setup. I'm looking forward to watching you take your metalworking game to the next level.
you can turn aluminum and steel on a wood lathe, use a narrow skew chisel and turn at the slowest speed your machine can manage.
clickspring has some clips on graving brass and steel
Shows a process involving multiple tools and steps that would take me a day: “It was a bit of work” :)
Awesome job by the way, the chair looks great!
Mr.U did such amazing job thank u for sharing
Take notes, because there was a lot to learn from this video. Doing what you did with what you had came out beautifully Neil.
Thanks very much Damo - glad you enjoyed it mate! :)
That is a super cool chair. I love how you arent afraid to show your mistakes!
Wow! You make it look soooo easy. As ever, very nice! Thumbs up from the other side of the globe!
I really enjoyed this video Pask, you are a proper tradesman. Thanks for sharing
Amazing, you are very creative. I really like the chair you made. Success for you
