I think the bit of randomness that the live edge added makes a flowing, organic design just that little bit more organic. I like it a lot. the Maloof joint is very intriguing.
You have outdone yourself this time. This is the type of woodworking art which compliments the castles and temples of history. This work sits at the table with Jimmy DiResta and Pedulla Studio.
Beautiful work. Made two of these about 2 years ago. Lots of fun doing the carving. Then made two more but used the”back” leg that was extended and put a small curved backrest on it. Thx great video.
Canadian Woodworks has the plans and videos that go into more detail on the jig. It's the best $4 you can spend. You can figure it out just from his videos on RUclips but like it said, it's only $4.
Good morning 🌅, very nice guitar pick stool, I have seen builders use a router table, with donut 🍩 😂 ring over the router bit to shape the legs 🦵 😂, , I have the rocking chair plans, hoping to make a pair next year, I have not been able to work properly for a year so, I have CTS very bad in my left hand, I have just had my op about 10 days ago, good luck with your next project, look 👀 forward to seeing it, cheers from France,
Good morning 🌅, I have been trying to get the plans for the stool , I have hope that the PDF files cannot be downloaded properly, and not to scale, I’ve even sent Canadian woodbox or whatever it’s called, to find out what thickness the seat needs to be, and have no reply, I have some pieces of ash that I cut down a few years ago that need to be flattened , and I have some large boards or European oak that I purchased many years ago, but not sure if they are suitable as they are only around about 2 1/2 inches in thickness, could you give me some idea please? The thickness is required., and if there is a way I can find the full size plans, as I do not like paying for something and they’re not being correct, kind regards from France,
@@Hog-g2z I'm sorry you haven't heard anything back from them. The plans call for the seat blank to be 20X20 inches and 1.75-2 inches thick so your blanks are plenty thick enough. I made the depth of cut for the leg joint 1" deep which wasn't enough. The drawings call for 1 3/16 inches deep but if I do it again I will make it 1.5" deep. There is some conflicting information between the plans and watching his videos. Sorry for the crazy imperial measurements.
Hi 👋, Thank you for your feedback, That is a great help, I have been trying to keep busy, I have just about finished my work bench/assembly table flattening jig table, I’ve just got to glue it and screw it together, going back to the plans, from what I can gather when you download them, they’re not the actual finish size, some people can’t download the PDF file, I know it’s only around four or €5 or dollars whatever it is, but if you can’t use it and you’ve got to make it bigger, it seems a waste of money, anyway thank you for your help, I’ve been looking through my wood stack over the weekend, I have three boards of oak, that are a fraction over 2 inches in thickness, so they are going to be well thick enough, and I took down a Ash before it fell, about two years ago I think I read it was down to about 14% a few weeks ago so probably by the summertime comes round it might be down low enough to make something like a pic guitar stool , i’ll let you know how I get on, and thank you once again for your information, regards from me to you from France,
Well done, nice looking stool. Paul @CanadianWoodworks offers ( or used to ) courses on building this and the maloof style chairs and bar stools. Really a good time.
Great job , if you do an another get some sand paper grits up to 500 or even higher , it can really make the wood come alive but you spend twice the time sanding
The stool is beautiful but the way the hand scraping turned out I'm so happy with that portion of it. I've never been fan of sanding ( who is ) and actually have never sanded anything above 220. Some day I will have to give it a try. I have seen stuff done and it is glass smooth but patience are not one of my qualities.
Thank you for the video! It made me happy to watch. I want to build chairs with the Maloof joint. How comfortable is the seat? The plane, Shinto rasp and building jigs are my frequent tools. I also really like working with jatoba. I have only ever built one thing mahogany but jatoba is frequently available at my wood store. Anyway, thank you for the video!
The seat is quite comfortable. From what I have been told Jatoba is quite a bit harder than the Mahogany so I'm glad I did make the mistake because it was easier with the hand tools. The Maloof joint is a beautiful thing! Thanks for watching!
Good question! Because I've never done a Tung Oil finish before and wanted to see how it looks. Also, there is a difference between drying and curing so I only waited a couple of days between coats when it was dry before adding the additional coats. When it has cured in a couple of weeks I might see how it looks and slap on some wax or sand the whole thing down and fix the spots I missed or leave it as is.
Unfortunately I have no musical talent what so ever. I like music but can't play music and will have to stick to dancing around my shop when nobody is looking.
Nice project and beautiful wood. A suggestion for your videos is to lower the sound level (a lot) when it’s just machines running. . My ears will thank you. 😊
You can always tell someone is a furniture maker when they put adhesive on all gluing surfaces. I see so many 'woodworking' videos in which someone dabs a little glue into a hole and pushes a dry dowel into it.
I have to admit I'm guilty of that on occasion but this was my first time using epoxy as glue (I think). I do agree though. Once you get into the swing of things you realize that glue is not something that should be used sparingly.
Why do you use citrus solvent? I like seeing videos like this because initially I always thought it was hard to make something sturdy when it had legs. The more I see expert woodworkers, the more I think thats prob just some shoddy builds that led me to the false conclusion. Lol. This looks very sturdy!
I use the Citrus Solvent because it thins the Tung oil so it can penetrate better and dry a bit faster between coats. It's also smells nice and is a bit more environmentally friendly in the shop. As long as the legs fit well they are very sturdy. Thanks for watching!
I think the bit of randomness that the live edge added makes a flowing, organic design just that little bit more organic. I like it a lot. the Maloof joint is very intriguing.
I think the live edge works too. The Maloof Joint is a beautiful thing.
Yes!!! This is one of my top dream builds, the maloof joint guitar stool!!! So excited to watch
I think it's a really cool build too.
You do beautiful work. We’re watching from Missouri
Thanks for watching!
You have outdone yourself this time.
This is the type of woodworking art which compliments the castles and temples of history.
This work sits at the table with Jimmy DiResta and Pedulla Studio.
That is some high praise right there.. This is the kind of project that makes you look like a better wood worker than you are. Thanks!
Love the project and the finished product is great. Maloof designs are beautiful. Thanks for the video. Scott
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful stool! I do believe I will try and make one myself.
I absolutely recommend making one. Good experience and gain some new skills.
Great build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great job!
Thank you!
Beautiful work. Made two of these about 2 years ago. Lots of fun doing the carving. Then made two more but used the”back” leg that was extended and put a small curved backrest on it. Thx great video.
That's a brilliant idea.. I might have to steal that for the next one..
That is a beautifully shaped stool!
Thank you!
Looks very comfortable & beautiful...excellent work sir!
It is quite comfortable to sit on!
Fantastic project, love that stool... where can I get plans, I would love to try one myself...

I have seen the donut used but wanted to use some hand tools. If I make more I may make a donut to speed up the process. Merci

He seems like quite an entertaining character. That would be a fun time.
Wow! Love it!
Thank you Annie!
Very nice Sir!
Thanks! Glad you like it.
That is one good looking piece. Wonder if it goes for sale? I like the way the legs came out.
It will probably go to the basement with most everything else. It would be quite an expensive stool.

Why do 4 coats of tung oil when it takes over 3 weeks to cure the first coat?
Good question! Because I've never done a Tung Oil finish before and wanted to see how it looks. Also, there is a difference between drying and curing so I only waited a couple of days between coats when it was dry before adding the additional coats. When it has cured in a couple of weeks I might see how it looks and slap on some wax or sand the whole thing down and fix the spots I missed or leave it as is.
@ i see, I usually just use one heavy coat and give it 30 to absorb then let cure and it always comes out nice 👍
Very nice! Have you tested with a guitar? 😁
Unfortunately I have no musical talent what so ever. I like music but can't play music and will have to stick to dancing around my shop when nobody is looking.

Whoops.. Normally I do, must have missed one. Thanks
Красиво, интересное решение.
