"The Sway" Prototype?? An Industrial Modern single seat Lounge Chair

- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Hi,
Most of you who watch my videos know Tim Sway. I know that because he sent a lot of you my way either by his re-edit of my Bar Stool video, or from his shout outs on Reclaimed Audio Podcast. So as a small token of my appreciation for Tim and his work, I almost named this chair after him (haha). Well, it's not like that, the chair is not all re-claimed so I'll make another out of pallets or scrap wood and that will be "the True Sway". This is just a practice run mock up for the real deal! You can see all of Tim's outstanding work on his You Tube Channel, or check out his Website. One of my favourite Sway videos is the "Ballard of el Saguaro" plasma cut cactus lamps. Tim: Huge respect my friend!
This chair is heavy and not likely to blow away in a storm. I went through lots of 70's and 80's ballads, heaps of podcasts, a few F bombs and it was a thoroughly enjoyable job that I'll never do again (out of steel). I hope you enjoy the video and I hope you check out Tim's work. Send him a message, tell him Scott sent you and tell him I'll buy him a Whisky if I ever get back over his way. Be good and keep smiling.

I admire your work and your artistry so much. Guys like you are what inspired me to start learning and incorporating metal work into my furniture making.
Wonderful!!! Thank You, I very much appreciate your comment and all the best with your work,
To call that a piece of furniture wouldn't be giving it justice. What a work of art! Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your build.
That is a wonderful complement, thank you so much!!
I found ur chanel 2 days ago. .stuck at home .the vires thing. In USA 🇺🇸 really gutting bad. Can't stop watching. U are a amazing artist 🎨
I really appreciate your feedback John. I hope we all recover from this ASAP. All the best
Mate, you are one seriously talented man with a welder & grinder. Impressed does not cut the mustard as a description. Very nice work.
Love the shirt too. Good to see another Aussie rockin' the sway swag.
Thanks again Damo. With a grinder you can grind out crap welds ;) Pretty chuffed about the shirt - the genuine article. All the best Damo.
Hey Scott! That is a great design. I am fond of wood and metal brought together and your interpretation of those two materials into an excellent design is impressive.
Keep that creative momentum going!

Thank You Jim, great comment and much appreciated. I love wood and I love steel and I am lucky enough to be able to create so all going well, lots more to come. Cheers and all the best!
It's a real treat to watch you work. Thanks for sharing!
Thank for watching, cheers!
Just a fantastic piece of furniture art. I love the work you do in steel. Great video and I agree... Sway is the man!
Cheers to Mr Tim Sway. Thanks Cory!
Scott, this is so incredibly inspiring. I loved watching your hollow leg metal table build and thought how creative that was. And this chair takes your creativity to an even higher level. I got chills watching you incorporate full sized CAD (chalk aided design) to pull it all together. You are a true artist and I appreciate all the effort to record, edit and share your passion with us. Thank you! Joel.....
Truely wonderful comment Joel; thank you so much! CAD, love it!
You’re an inspiration and what got me into welding. Congrats on 100k subscribers!
Thank you Patrick! Happy welding!
Holy Smokes!!! Never say never! Things have a way of repeating themselves.....
Never say never - Thanks again!
I love your design sense, Scott
Thank you Christopher! One of my favourites.
I just want to live your head for a while...must be an interesting way to appreciate the forms and materials that make up your world.
:)
Whatever you call it, it's freakin awesome!! Can't wait to see the finished chair.
G'day again JimGam730, fantastic, glad you liked it. I can't wait till covered as well, maybe Feb unfortunately. See you next time!
Another masterpiece, I could spend all day just watching your videos and the amazing things that you produce, a true craftsman in his own right
Much appreciated Tony - Thank you!
Great design. The work is lovely! Like!
Thank You!
Metal working overload. The angles and curves all out of 3mm steel is outstanding.
Hi Wayne. Yeah it was a job and a half for sure but I'm super glad I made it.
Now make a couch to go with it!
What a ripper. Really enjoyed this build and video. You make bending metal look easy!
Thanks DRMNZ, glad you liked it! Takes a bit of thinking and a lot of effort but it is worth it. Cheers
Another fantastic job as always Scott - it looked like a heap of work but worth it!! thanks for the vid!!
Thanks Chris. Yep lots of work but so glad I did it!
You really don't go easy on your projects. I had to laugh at how you were forcing and hammering this fucker together. Very beautiful outcome and design!
I need a bigger hammer - Thanks Man!
You have a really good eye for design, and the hand skill to complete a truly beautiful piece of art. Well done!
Thank you Martin, I appreciate your feedback! All the best!
it is such a beautiful design. It defiantly is not getting blown away in any storm. The only issue with your videos, is that I wish there were more. LOL you do a great job with the content, and edit. Keep them coming
Derek
Thank Derek, bring on the Storm (could do with some rain here). Lots more videos to come, they just take a while ;)
Beautiful piece, incredible artistry and craftsmanship. Love the look of the metal and wood. Would be cool to make a wooden seat.
Thank You Devin!! The more I look at it without any upholstery, the more the wood grows on me. I think I can do some variations to my design. Thanks again!
Супер! Когда смотрю на эту работу, то настроение поднимается). Позитив). Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие!
Действительно приятно слышать, что вам понравилось видео. Спасибо, что дали мне знать. Всего наилучшего!
That's a thing of beauty Scott. Unbelievable design and craftsmanship.
Thanks Andrew! I think it scrubbed up ok in the end. Many thanks!
You sir are a genius such craftsmanship and man it's good to see reclaimed items. All my knifes are made from reclaimed stuff can't beat it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Huge thanks! Working reclaimed is very rewarding. Keep up your good work!
Scott Turner sure is buddy thanks and you too 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Scott- great build. I can see the effort that went into the contoured sides. It was absolutely worth it though mate.
Tim
Hey Tim, cheers. You are right, when it is all done it is very rewarding, though when you first have the idea and start the work you are thinking gosh what have I started here.
Wow...... that chair is beautiful......wow!!
Thanks! Probably my favourite piece.
Lovely project! And I'll bet Tim Sway would love to see a fully reclaimed version.
Hi Paul, I agree! I started this with the name in mind and during the build thought I had got it wrong in terms of materials considering what Tim stands up for. So I'll build the full "Sway" version after I've finished picking out all the metal splinters from my fingers. Cheers!
Scott I have just subscribed.This chair has one of those rare quality's about it where everything is just right, style comfort beauty originality,and that special something that can only come from been handmade.Well done.
Hey Rusty Nuts! Thank you so much! I do get a bit intense with some of my builds, I have to achieve a certain look, kind of hard to describe though when I'm finished I get a sense of relief and satisfaction. Not everything I build turns out nice, I've made plenty of crap things too ;). Thanks again Rusty Nuts (love that name).
Oh and thanks for the Sub too!
Piece of art. Excellent.
Thank you again Steve, there was a lot of work in that beast, though worth it 100%.
Awesome build once again Scott. Your builds always inspire and put a smile on my dial, have to get up to Townsville sometime and catch up for a beer. Can't wait for the next project.
G'day Peter, you're welcome up here any time! I'll have a few beers waiting for you. Thanks again Peter!
You my friend are a artist. That's a beautiful and unique chair. So much work, but at the end it deserves it.
Kind words, thank you Sir and yes I think it was definitely worth it!
Wow an amazing build. Love the shape. Tim has never looked so good
It's an imposter. Thank You!
Wow! That's a work of art. Well done!
Thank You Andrew!
Welding and smashing steel art !!! Very nice 👍🏻!!!
Thank you kindly!
Is that Flock of Seagulls I heard back there? Cool chair AND good taste in music!
Yes - I Ran, loved that song as a teenager and still now! Thanks Cary.
I really enjoy the details in your work. It’s quite obvious you enjoy this. Nice job!
I do - thank you!!
I can't believe I hadn't found your channel until today. Awesome work man and it's all my favorite style "industrial" . You've gained another subscriber.
Thank you for the Sub cj c! Plenty more to come, cheers!
Dude That chair is the bombdiggity Most excellent my friend, and Well Done Sir. . .
Cheers! It's better now it's got upholstery :)
Mario da Roma: ciao, con la sedia ti sei superato hai realizzato un design futuristico che resterà x sempre di attualità tra un centinaio di anni avrà un valore inestimabile. In poche parole andrebbe collocata in un museo d'arte. Grande ciao.
Molto apprezzato Mario :)
Brilliant design..you are VERY TALENTED. I love watching your videos..very inspirational.thanks for sharing and merry Christmas
Thank You Fifi!! I appreciate your kind words and I am glad you get some inspiration from my work. Have a very Merry Christmas too Fifi, see you next time.
That is a really nice design. Looks good and actually comfortable to sit on.
Thanks! It is actually comfy, but it will be much better when it is properly upholstered. Cheers!
Very nice. Soooo much work too. That front curved hand rest area looked tough to do. Much respect.
Thank You! Yes it was a big tricky job that's for sure, but it was all 100% worth it. ;)
Sway - love that guy - nice project
He'd da man! Thank you Shogun-Jimi!!
This is my first comment ever on a video
Just to say this is an absolutely beautiful chair. I wish I had the money to afford one or better still the skills to make one!
You are an inspiration to people like me who are just starting out making things.
I'm off now to look at your other stuff and find more about Tim Sway.
Many Thanks for posting this.
Lee :o)
Hi Lee, I'm really glad that I can be of some help. Your comment is heart warming, thank you, and thanks for dropping by. Tim Sway is a walking, talking inspiration that the world needs more of ;) All the best.
awesome design and build.☺ thank you for sharing.
and the music is chearry(happy go lucky. ;)
Hi Malene, super glad you liked it and thanks for watching! Music is always an issue as I have lots of songs playing in the background which I cannot play for more than a few seconds in the video, so I have to find some thing else. Thanks again!
Felicitaciones excelente trabajo gran imaginación para las curvas de la silla saludos desde 🇨🇱
¡Gracias, un diseño favorito mío!
Scott o metal parece papel em suas mãos, belo serviço parabéns!
Muito obrigada! Thank you, very kind!
Love this chair Scott, has a nice retro aviation feel to it, looks amazing now, cant wait to see it when upholstered.
Hi Alex, thanks for your feed back! I'll post an update when it's done, ;)
Excellent design. The amount of work that thing required is super intimidating--but it sure turned out well!
Truth be told, when I started this thing, making it out of flat bar I was very enthusiastic, especially when it started to take shape, then I had to make 3 other sides and then skin them and then the job made me its bitch. Man I spent hours on the bandsaw, grinder and welder, but now that it is done I'm so glad I did it. Thanks ZH Fabrications, I always look forward to seeing your builds!
Fantastic design , a lot of hard work but awesome result. Well done Mr. I would like to built it for my living room.
Hey Bill, give it a go, it will be worth it, thanks!
I Love that design. Looks Amazing!
Appreciated Ben, thank you!
Отличный стул ! Приятно смотреть процесс изготовления . Молодец
Спасибо! Мне нравится этот стул. Это действительно подтолкнуло мои способности, и я так многому научился от этого!
When I first saw the thumbnail I was thinking .. plasma or plasma cnc ... nope plate steel patched together and shaped ..!! Nice work
Thanks. Yes, done the hard way but it was worth it
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious yes !! I just found your channel .. I’ve watch prob 10 episodes .. subscribed
@@jfcustomfab Great to hear and thank you!
Incredible, nicely done.
Thank You!!
Hi, I'd like to suggest you get a plasma cup attachment that holds the tip of the torch away from the metal. It keeps your arc always the same distance from the surface, and your cuts become much neater, less slag. Very nice design. Regards, Ken
100% right. I never use the Plasma enough to get really good with it so any help is good (Less grinding later too). Cheers Ken.
I liked your video and work very much, keep up the good work!
Great, glad you like it Tomas.
chair is impressive just like a giving a best shape to chair
Thank you, it's my favourite piece from a sketch to realisation. It's unique!
great build and some amazing music,i like your taste and your style!
Great Karl, Many Thanks!
Beautiful work.
Thank you Steve!
That's a really good looking chair. Really enjoyed the video!
Thanks Alexander, I think the hard work paid off. Cheers!
A flock of seagulls....I like it
Great hit for the early 80's. Brings back fond memories. Thank you!
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious Sorry for my lack of education: the most important thing is the amazing job you did with the chair. Congrats!
Wonderful work, my friend! Congratulations!
Thank you Ricardo. One of my favourite projects.
That is a really cool looking chair man!
Thanks dude, we have an abundance of steel in Australia and half of it is in this chair ;)
That is one ridiculously cool chair.
Thanks heaps! I think the pallet wood Sway upholstered in ripped jeans and old scarfs will be cooler, that's a job for another day.
extraordinary , great great job, I love it , congratulation from Uruguay
I really appreciate your feedback, thank you! from Townsville, Australia!
muito bom ! gostei muito essa simples cadeira de aço e mateira mas muito bem trabalhada ! você scott turner é um artesão de mãos cheia abraço forte amigo parabéns ! ( sehr gut)
Obrigado! Esta é uma das minhas criações favoritas. Eu não tinha certeza se isso funcionaria, mas aconteceu. Obrigado!
Me encanta todo lo que haces, tienes una imaginació increible. Felicidades.
Salutacions desde Catalunya
Gracias de nuevo. ¡Palabras amables! ¡Me ayudan a hacer lo que hago!
Amazing work
Thanks Fred!
Nice work, mate you must have shares in companies making grinding and flapping discs :))
I love grinding, thanks dude!
Yup , a True Artist , Well Done 😉
вы волшебник металла !
Всегда учиться. Всегда учиться. спасибо
. Always Learning. Thank You!
Awesome stuff, cannot wait to see it finished. Also cool to see another Aussie maker on youtube!
Thanks Andrew. I would have loved to have it 100% for the video, never mind, I'll have to do an update video down the track! Keep Smiling!
Cognates! That's awesome
Thank you John!
Great work really like the design.I heard about you on reclaimed audio podcast glad i checked it out and subscribed.
Hi, thank you for the comment and the sub! Reclaimed Audio is a great listen, love the guys!
Very good.
Thanks Jonathan!
Nice work ! Good idea
Thank You!
The chair is awesome Scott , you should work with LEGO and develop a 1 million piece chair kit ? But when you open the box , only one big piece falls out and you have to cut the pieces out as you need them ..hahaha
Ha! I'm up for it
OK I am impressed
Nonde Menai Thank You!
Freaking boat load of work and beauty, my friend! Typical, I learned quite a bit from you. And you are right, that chair should not be named after me - it requires far too much patience and skill. BTW, how much to ship it to the US?? I have some chair ideas on the whiteboard, I may just have to name one after you :)
G'day Tim, unfortunately it fell short of the mark in the reclaimed department, hence Prototype of the ""Sway", so that gives me an opportunity and challenge to build another that I think you would approve of (more so). Although not reclaimed, this sucker should last and last so I'm happy about that. Whilst I enjoyed the journey of the build, the "Sway" concept forced me to think about all the waste we create in our modern lives........and I am still in that space and that's in large part due to the work that you do my friend. Gosh sending this fester to the States, I'm not sure but I'd love for you to have it. Be good, enjoy the moment!
Maybe Scott Turner should come to your place and build one with you? would be a decent collab!
Slap Stuff Together That would be awesome, maybe one if these days ;)
great video~ awesome work
Hey David, Thanks!
very very very good work!!!! from italy
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for commenting! (I hope to get to Italy one day!)
FANTASTIC
Thanks Rag Tie!
That's a really sexy chair! And yes, Tim is touching people all around the world. Stylish t shirt too, I've got one here in England. Thanks for sharing this video, cheers mate.
The shirt is a must have. I'll try not to burn too many holes in it with the welder ;) Thanks Richard!
Beautiful chair! Have you considered getting some of the big pieces of steel laser cut? My local laser shop often ends up remarkably affordable considering they buy steel by the train car load. With Autocad you can design in all sorts of locating tabs and other detail work to make the whole job easier and almost no grinding. Still your design and fabrication, just less bull work.
Hi John, yes have definitely considered laser, though at this stage I go the hard way to get the concept out. And you are right I probably need to get into Autocad to make things more repeatable. Thanks John.
Thank You for the inspiration! I wish I was your neighbor and you could teach me some welding. I am somewhat of a self taught maker and I have the scars to prove it. I am just not brave enough to try and teach myself to weld steel or aluminum as of yet. I don't like the idea of setting my balls on fire while trying to stick two pieces of metal together. Thanks again!
First tip, don't put your balls between the welder and the steel and they should be happy (remember that one, it's important). Great comment Vigil Ante and funny!!
Yeah, thanks for that tip. But seriously, your work is very inspirational to me. We have similar methods when it comes to bringing a design to reality. I have been doing a lot of woodworking lately, but I really want to start working with metals. After my hand heals from my Drill press and Forstner bit mishap, I am going to try some welding. I've got my asbestos jockstrap ready........Thanks again, keep making stuff and putting all of it on the tubes. I really appreciate it!
Holy shit man, you´re amazing!!!
Greetings from Brazil!
Very kind and much appreciated Leo!

amazing
Thank You!
wonderful work.
Thank you! this is one of my personal favourites!
Beautiful mate!
MKRBRKR maaaate thank you!
Hermosa, que buen trabajo
I hope you take this as constructive criticism because your chair is beautiful :
This chair must weigh a ton. If you make another one with perhaps a thinner gauge steel you could lighten it up and have a whole lot less work.
Secondly, i think you should have gone with your original idea for upholstery. With horizontal cylindrical cushions it would have looked far cooler than a car seat. Upholstery has a lot easier learning curve than welding.
Yes it's heavy for sure, but its unique quality outweighs its actual weight in my view. I don't take into great account the weight of the piece, for the concept coming to life, I guess is my driving force. Lighter gauge steel would work too, though you just have to be careful that the heat doesn't warp the metal. I hope to learn some upholstery one day and try all different techniques. Thank you for your feed back and taking the time to comment, much appreciated.
If you do try upholstery may I suggest using real upholstery foam. The stuff they sell at most hardware stores and fabric stores will fail in a year or two at best.
I don't have a clue about how to do RUclips videos but I have made some steel framed upholstered chairs.
I made my chairs with 1 inch x .065 steel tubing which I bent, notched and fitted up to a full sized drawing. I used the full sized drawings to make a three dimensional plywood jig to tack the frame together. That was what it took for me to have the complex frame come out straight.
I love making stuff from my mind's eye that requires me to learn new skills. I think you have that same mindset.
I think you are right, I love the journey, and I love the challenge ;)
มันคือศิลปะครับ...มันคือแรงบันดาลใจอย่างดีเลย
