Every time I sit down and watch a woodworker with huge workshop, they always say they are not good at it. Can you stop lying and pat yourselves on the back? Because you're doing a great job
It's one of those things that have changed with the advent of the internet; Some one somewhere will have a video doing so much better with less...being humble is a way to protect yourself from the mental shock of inferiority that will discourage many; from amateur to experts alike. It's ok to have pride in what you do; just don't pride yourself in having the acknowledgement of others.

@@roberthoffmann1848That is the IKEA effect, our perception that item produced by ourselves is somehow higher quality than mass produced items utilising wonders of industrial machinery with standards of quality control
@@roberthoffmann1848yeah, I got into sewing because I was sick of uncomfortable cheap plastic clothes that don't age well, seem to absorb nasty smells and never let go, and have to be replaced so frequently, can't be easily dyed, etc. Even with "luxury" brands, almost all mass produced clothes are cheap quality. I can buy quality materials and make something that will last 10 times longer. Yes, it will initially cost 2x more than some mass produced plastic equivalent, but I can wear it for years, alter it into different things, have spare matching fabric to patch and repair things, and easily dye over lighter garments that get stained. The initial investment sucks, but it is cheaper in the long run, at least for me.
yea, the only exception ive found is 3d printing, why buy a print unpainted for €700 plus whatever the delivery is, when I can buy the stl, material and a new printer for that same price
It is a pleasure to watch a chair build which, particularly for us older craftsman, is the ultimate in wood work skills. I certainly hope you obtain a large viewing for this project.
I love Cam's explanation about chairs in Japan 🤣 Besides - who needs a chair when you can just use the stump from the tree you cut down for the rest of the project!
We usually learn more from our failures than from our successes. Or yours. Thanks for normalizing trying new things that don't always work out as planned. It's a great lesson for makers and for life. And sitdown.
For the problem you’re having at 20:50, I have had success by transferring the shape to some pattern plywood. This can be easily cut and sanded to the line - a little angle or roundness of the edge doesn’t matter as it is so thin anyway. Then clamp that to your workpiece and use a flush trim bit on your router to transfer the edge from the pattern to the piece.
Brilliant and complex piece of work Jonny. I really appreciate you showing your mishaps. Your kumiko turned out amazing, sorry it didn’t work out. Chuck a cushion on that and I bet Katy will be glad to sit down - especially looking after the wee one 🤗
"Sit down" I always watch the videos until the end and skipping the end doesn't show you all the mess ups, learning points that you go through while making what ever make. So thank you for your videos I appreciate it
Great video! Chairs are definitely something only to tackle when you have a clear vision and passion to complete it no matter the cost. Sit down and enjoy your hard work.
Yes I built my ex wife shelves , a fireplace mantle, repaired her grandmother end tables, built a electric fireplace repaired old dining room chairs but she has everything I built for her but she said I was a cheap man cause I built them not buying something else I built everything with love and to make something to be proud of but this is life.
It's okay, baby. Your ex-wife is the true cheap bitch because you put your money elsewhere, and did more than she ever did in any relationship she was in, or will be.
A chair is a piece of real design. There is so much character in it. I am sure you had a great time challenging yourself on that one. I really love what you did.
Sit down! That is such an incredibly beautiful chair. That style of chair is by far my favorite. I recently inherited a very, very old one that has been in my family for many years and I cannot wait to get it reupholstered.
Sit down. I love chairs! They are personal architecture. I have over 150 of them. I collect miniatures. Anything from charms to just to small for a toddler to sit on. So sit down just not on one of mine.
If you attempt this chair again, consider making individual kamiko panels and space 3-5 of them around the back curve. Then if you really want to mirror the curvature, each sub panel could be sanded to fit. Another great video sir. Thanks for sharing this insightful video and your comments regarding the process. Wishing you and your lady a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather. Peace brother
Ok I have something to say and you just might need to sit down and listen for a second, Do you realize that you walk 25 miles just for a 5 mile hike? Your answer to your seat issue that you wrestled with at around the 24 minute mark was just you simply change the order that you build the chair in and use the seat as the fixture that you bend the parts around. Or simply use the fixture you used for bending as a template for the seat. But I am sure that I am wrong considering I am not a wood worker nor builder of furniture so my opinion is about as helpful as a tornado during a barn raising.
Loved the video and the final product! Bummed about the kumiko not working out for you, but your plan B worked out great! Sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor 😊
Even if I'm not able to spend time in the shop right now due to moving and the ensuing chaos, it's nice to be able to sit down and watch woodworkers show new techniques and tricks to explore when I get the shop back together.
I always enjoy your videos and was super happy to see another one waiting to be watched when I sit down to take a little break before I get going to my afternoon appointments. Thanks for showing us your great work!
One more thing to say. You did a great job on this. It inspired me bc I didn’t know about the wood bending technique. Thanks for showing the mishaps. Sorry the Kami didn’t work out, but at least I did something u liked and was relaxing. I may try to make a Spawn style instead of the pattern. I’ll have to figure that one out. Thanks again J!
I really love your videos. I have been an enthusiastic amateur woodworker for years now but have yet to try a chair.... you have inspired me to give it a go, though. Now, all I need to do is sit down and put a plan together.
I love to sit down to watch someone working who knows how to work. Ah, a fellow Okie. I recall what my mom told me about 60 years ago when I commented that someone was living in a really dilapidated house. She said, "There's one thing you need to know about Okies. Okies will live in just about anything...except town.
Sit down and I don’t worry about what you’re building, I care about how you build it. All techniques are awesome and watching you use them is what it’s all about for me.
It's always great to sit down in front of my computer and find another great woodworking youtube channel. I really hope you can bring yourself to tackle another chair project in the future. Sure, they might not pay as much per working hour, but the techniques involved are really fascinating. Definitely consider some of the more historical designs, and the ones from antiquity, there are some really interesting designs out there!
Very cool place to sit down. Not sure I would have the patience to even try. So glad to see you understand the axiom, happy wife, happy life. Thank you for sharing.
So inspiring. After this I'll go back to my clothes hanging poles to be use in the garage for our raincoats after motorcycling. I stopped because I lost interest on it... but now it's different. Thanks.
I would need to sit down and really think about the amount of time to construct a chair with this amount of detail. I think you are an excellent craftsman and clearly recognize the importance of a comfortable place to sit down!! 🎉
"sit down " Another great video , I appreciate all you do , as a non woodworking person I am amazed at what you do ! The chair looks fantastic , and well mmmmmmm it looks fantastic..............Thanks for sharing !
What I love about this chair is not only that it looks very good but all the details that went into it. One detail (don't think that was the purpose tho) being that when you sit down and have to let some air out there is a channel for it in the chair haha
Best you go and have a sit down Johnny 😊 With the kerf cuts try a much thinner blade and closer together. That should reduce the stress on it. You could also do a woven pattern between the dowels. Fun to watch and good to see you show the mistakes.
This is really awesome, seeing work being done at the sme open source level is always great! One note you can always use a 1depth shallow gut clone, so much faster for things like builds and installs where you don't need a whole source tree
I love how this chair turned out! I think maybe before I Sit Down, though, I'd add some kind of cushion. I think I dark green would complement it really well!
Mr. Jhonny, I really would have liked to see the Kamiko back on that chair. I love the stuff you make, and I am learning by watching. I do need "hands on" so I really get it down. Thanks for trying new things and this chair is an example. Keep up the great work and attitude.
This is awesome. Always good that you show your mishaps. It's making me feel better when I look at my mistakes. Just last week, when I was routing a curved edge to a small tabletop and forgot to set the height of the flush cut bit right, so I was routing into the actual tabletop, since the ball bearing didn't ride on the edge of my template. Well, now the table is about one eight of an inch smaller than intended. I guess my wife wouldn't have noticed, if I didn't tell her. Maybe it would have been a possibility to use bendable plywood for the Kumiko and just cut it on the CNC or with a laser. Maybe worth a try for the next chair. :D
Awww, SIT DOWN, and I watched the whole video, and I'm still amazed how you come up with these ideas! You are super creative, and your chair shows it. Great job..
Sit down! Best thing ever!! Really interesting to watch, but as you say, people highly unlikely to pay in the thousands for a chair. Wonderful craftmanship. Beautiful result.
The biggest issue with the comfort is getting the seat pan contoured. I saw one you tube build where they were able to set up a depth map and had their C&C go to town. The cameo's from the other youtube woodworkers was pretty cool. Thanks for the video.
Love the steam bender! I got into longbow building and gotta build one out of a Wagner wallpaper steamer that is collecting dust. You said sore knees with running. I was a Phys Ther Asst and did a lot of research and experiments ...I'll try to be brief. Natural running style similar to barefoot runners, with low-to-zero rise (heel) shoes, was a game changer for me. You lean slightly forward, preserving momentum, and utilizing your feet and shock absorbers. Heel striking is how we walk, and causes increased wear and tear when running in the same way. Get this...Nike invented the heel cushioned shoe so fluffy people could jog. Your feet may be sore for a while, it's because they're out of shape. Sorry if preaching to the choir, good luck with your fitness goals!
Sit down. I am not sure why you want this but I’m a direction follower. Lol. This is the first time I was recommended your channel. I loved watching and learning from you. Great project. And yes-I subscribed.

It's not the size of your workshop. It's the quality of your wood 😂
Go watch bourbon moth woodworking. He's pretty unapologetic.
They have a huge workshop with $2 million worth of high end equipment and they are a beginner/amatuer

Mistake are sometimes edited out just so you know
"why buy something when you can build it for 3× as much" isnt only woodworking. Sewing. Electronic repairs. Any crafty hobby. It's everywhere.

In 10 years it's gonna be true for most of white collar jobs as well. Why use AI when you can hire a person for 100 times the cost?

Wow! Nice work - glad I took a moment out of my day to sit down and watch this process.
I love Cam's explanation about chairs in Japan 🤣 Besides - who needs a chair when you can just use the stump from the tree you cut down for the rest of the project!
Priceless
Sit-down
Sitting on the floor indeed works just fine.
It was a real "think about it" explanation 😂
This is the first time I’ve interacted with a video creator in such a manner, but I just loved the way you did it. I hope you get to sit down soon lol
We usually learn more from our failures than from our successes. Or yours. Thanks for normalizing trying new things that don't always work out as planned. It's a great lesson for makers and for life. And sitdown.
It’s easy to sit down when your chair is ,are into a masterpiece of art. Good work.
I love to see the "sit down" moment with the chairs!!!!!!
For the problem you’re having at 20:50, I have had success by transferring the shape to some pattern plywood.

I love to sit down and watch these videos. I don't think I'll ever build a chair, but I can still learn something from this.
I also love to sit down in front of these
Nice job Jonny. Thanks for taking along for the ride 🌞
Seen nearly 100 slab table builds, this was unique and refreshing!
I would absolutely love to sit-down in that chair. Great job.
Yes I built my ex wife shelves , a fireplace mantle, repaired her grandmother end tables, built a electric fireplace repaired old dining room chairs but she has everything I built for her but she said I was a cheap man cause I built them not buying something else I built everything with love and to make something to be proud of but this is life.

Why did you forget punctuation like a sentence in 💀
@@jacobbartlett331 just so you would notice my story.
Probably the number of drinks he was in at that point.
couldn't sit down on this one, it was awesome! love how you show us all the stumbles and new learnings to make things move forward!
Bless You ! The Chair looks amazing and your persistence duly noted…
I was told to “sit down” so much as a kid…
Look, tell the H8ers to pound wet sand! I love the craftsmanship you put into each build!
A real sitdown comedian :) Honestly, this was a very entertaining, and educating video that just had to be watched to the very end. Thank you!
Enjoyed sitting down to watch this! Great job!
A chair is a piece of real design. There is so much character in it. I am sure you had a great time challenging yourself on that one. I really love what you did.
I forgot to sit down 😂
If you don’t watch Jonny build from start to end, boy sit down and take several seats. Love the chair, beautiful still😊
Sit Down.... Late but I enjoy seeing the failures and fixes we all make.... Thanks so much for doing what you do
Sit down! That is such an incredibly beautiful chair. That style of chair is by far my favorite. I recently inherited a very, very old one that has been in my family for many years and I cannot wait to get it reupholstered.
Awesome build I would never try it, but it was fun watching you do it, especially when she sat down in the chair God blessings on your new baby❤
You know, "Sit down and be quiet" is the most essential chairy sentence teachers use again and again.
Always great to sit down and watch a good woodworker finish a fine project.
Jump up, jump up, and sit down. Love it. Thank you! ❤
Really enjoyed watching you work through the problems that went into building this chair. Sit Down!!
Sit down. I love chairs! They are personal architecture. I have over 150 of them. I collect miniatures. Anything from charms to just to small for a toddler to sit on. So sit down just not on one of mine.

What a fun and creative design, thanks for sharing!! Sit down, and enjoy the support of that custom art piece.
I have seen so many table builds that this was a nice. Thank you for this build.
I found it very interesting watching how you built this chair and I would love to sit down on something this beautiful and unique.
I normally watch these on the treadmill, but I had to sit down for this level of detail in a chair.
Beautiful and unusual. Thank you for sharing this technique.
Sit Down, this build turned out absolutely amazing!!!! Can’t wait to watch the table build!!!! 🤯❤️
Yeh my dad showed me the way. He gave my mom a cement mixer. And a year later we had a flagstone Pateoin the back yard. The gift their kept on giving!
Sit Down - Yet again another Jonny Builds video! Woo Hoo - Since discovering your channel - I have not missed a video! Love all your content Jonny!
Sit down and I don’t worry about what you’re building, I care about how you build it. All techniques are awesome and watching you use them is what it’s all about for me.

Love the chair! A great place to "sit down"!
@Jonny Builds Relax and "sit down" friend, you did an amazing job and are a remarkable craftsman.
I had to "sit down" as I watched you make the last adjustments to the seat pan, and loved the video.
Best you go and have a sit down Johnny 😊
With the kerf cuts try a much thinner blade and closer together. That should reduce the stress on it.
You could also do a woven pattern between the dowels. Fun to watch and good to see you show the mistakes.
To sit down in that chair once complete must be satisfying. So much time to build... But looks stunning. Love your videos!
Well, I would sit down on that chair! Beautiful, creative project!❤

Just love the process “sit down” and enjoy.
Can't wait to see how someone can sit down on that wood puzzle you made. Nice work!
I loved this project. Please post more... ❤
Yeah, now you can "sit down" and relax. Super informative, thanks, mate!

To see a truly beautiful chair can be memorizing. But to sit down in a beautiful chair is transformative.
