5:30 mark. I think you need a bigger crosscut sled. What about the kerf when you cut the master template into smaller ones? Wouldn't that cause a misalignment when putting the final pieces together? See 1:55 and 3:55 mark.
Thanks for checking out the video! By no means is a domino necessary at all. A cheap $15 doweling jig would work GREAT for those joints. In fact, here’s a link to a old video I made showing how to make joints with a cheap doweling jig: ruclips.net/video/lgwFmhqYfao/видео.html
Awesome work! I'm trying to psych myself up to build my first chair. I noticed you had one issue with this build that you must have resolved somehow: when you cut the template into four pieces where the joints would go (at 2:00), that created some imperfection in the curves due to the saw kerf (example at 4:06). How did you end up handling that? Would you do it differently if you were doing it again?
Thank you Jordan! I appreciate the kind words. Yes, I have to buy pre-milled lumber since I don’t have a planer. I work out of an apartment garage with only one 15amp outlet...kinda limited with tool selection 😬
A bandsaw would be a heck of a lot easier, but I just don’t have access to one at the moment. You can get A LOT done with minimal tools. It just takes longer and isn’t quite as accurate
Hi Eric, This looks great and a project I think I could tackle. One query, after you have cut the pieces and trimmed them with the router to match the templates, I notice that the curve of the joins don't align properly (see video at time 4:07). I assume this is due to cutting the template into smaller sections and trimming the stock for a straight join. How did you 're-shape' the curves at each join in a uniform way? Thank you
Nearly every young guy on RUclips making chairs makes chairs this way, with the structural element that supports the person's weight being the dowels. Maybe that's great, but it ignores the basic principals of building a chair that have been used for hundreds of years. Some of those couple hundred year old chairs are still around, not sure this one would be.
I wouldn’t say it’s better in the sense of making “stronger” or “better” joints. But it’s substantially faster than the dowel jig I used to use. However, if i was just woodworking for a hobby (not building for clients or making content on RUclips), I don’t think I could justify the extra cost over just having a doweling jig.
That entirely depends on what you’re using it for. If you can get client work out faster, then I’d argue the speed is worth it. If you’re a hobbyist and you’re just enjoying your time, it almost seems backwards to try to finish your hobby faster. You know?
Cool! The first Adirondack chair at 0:35 looks mighty familiar! I have built three of them a while ago. Recoated them this week with UV-protecting oil.

Great build. I like how you iterated the design. As a weekend hobbyist my only concern is with the biscuit cutter. They are expensive man.

@@SpencleyDesignCo that is true. Let me look at the other one. Keep building beautiful stuff.
I appreciate the support!
Looks awesome, Eric! You're growing as a woodworker and it's really cool seeing the progress!!
Thank you, Jaren! I feel like I’ve come a long way since my first project videos. Here’s to continually learning! 🍻

Thanks, Dan! I just re-sanded down those curves areas. I’m actually in the process of filming a new chair build right now!
Excellent job! Your chair turned out fantastic!
We love how this turned out! Awesome build!
Thank you very much! I appreciate the support
Nice design,
Do not forget the horizontal movements, otherwise it can be separated.
Thanks for checking out the video, Fabian! I’d definitely add a horizontal stretcher on a future version
Great work! This was your first video I saw. SUBSCRIBED!!
Thank you very much! Any projects you’d like to see me make in the future?
Thanks for sharing a great build video and rough plans. I look forward to building this chair. What species of wood did you use?
I just used poplar since it was the cheapest thing I could find for the prototype!
Spencley Design Co.
thanks, I too will use a soft wood for the practice one. Thanks again for the ideas.
Great build, love the design. Some of your other leg shapes would have looked good too. Consider doing a video on how you use SketchUp.
Thanks Jason! Definitely gonna try some of the other designs in the future!
Great design and congrats on the expanded confidence. I don’t see a planer in your shop - do you buy pre-milled?
Thank you Jordan! I appreciate the kind words. Yes, I have to buy pre-milled lumber since I don’t have a planer. I work out of an apartment garage with only one 15amp outlet...kinda limited with tool selection 😬
Cheers from Dayton, dude!
Hey there! Thanks so much for checking out the project!!
Great job - are you a foureyes fan? I get a similar vibe.
Huge fan! That’s the best compliment I could ask for!
Fantastic build Bud. And what a great cliff hanger ending!! Well done. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thank you so much for the continued support!
Awesome build, Eric. Love the design! - Joe
Thank you very much, Joe! This was a fun one!!
Awesome job man, really like how you made this 👏 great work and video
Thanks, Justin! I really appreciate the support!
Dude I LOVE IT . Awesome job and very curative
Omg watch four eyes much!
Budget 🤭
I glad you used jigsaw. I almost buy a band saw because everyone uses band saw for this kind of work

@@SpencleyDesignCo that's my situation and thoughts! Thanks for the reply 👍
Sure thing! If you want more examples, just watch my other videos. I have a pretty limited tool selection but still get a lot done 😀

Thanks for watching! I just sanded the joints smooth
Wow! It looks great! Nice job!
Thank you! And thank you so much for checking out my super small channel and helping me grow 😀
Don't cut MDF without a respirator.
Thank you for watching!
Flawless build great job.
Hi, it's a asome chair but after i download all plans are in inch, can you make one in cm, please?
Whats that jig you used for measuring and drawing those strait parallel lines?
It’s called the UG-1 from Bridge City Toolworks: bridgecitytools.com/products/ug-1-universal-gage?ref=wgyilr1kus5n
@@SpencleyDesignCo man thanks so much!! I need this!
You bet!! There are a lot of similar tools that you can get cheaper for drawing lines. I really like the incra t rules: amzn.to/3d23xcs

Fabuloso trabajo y diseño sos un creativo!!!
Thanks!!
Is it sturdy?
Did you finish the video, Robert? 😀😜
@@SpencleyDesignCo Just skimming over it on my lunch break. My bad. I have the design btw!
I’m just giving you a hard time 😀
@@SpencleyDesignCo i mean you just say go to your other social media to find out, you dont really show it in the video.....
I weigh 200lbs and it held me just fine 😀
What are the template measurements ?
Looks great!
Thank you very much for checking out the video!
This is awesome!!!
Thank you very much, Katharina! I appreciate the support!
What do you use for a cad design?
Great question! I use the free version of sketchup! In the future I plan on learning a more advanced software like fusion 360 though
How would you join if you didn’t have a domino
Fantastic question! I’d just use a simple dowel jig
Hi, I used your design, and thank you
Got that festool domino. Is it a lot better than your dowel jig?
I wouldn’t say it’s better in the sense of making “stronger” or “better” joints. But it’s substantially faster than the dowel jig I used to use. However, if i was just woodworking for a hobby (not building for clients or making content on RUclips), I don’t think I could justify the extra cost over just having a doweling jig.
@@SpencleyDesignCo the real question is? Is that festool worth the price? Thanks for the response

@@SpencleyDesignCo i do have a lot of deadlines due. Would a dewalt or any other brand work? Or is it better to just get festool?
To my knowledge, dewalt does not make a domino jointer
Looking greate.
Great design
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the support!
Вот бы получится у вас вашему ремеслу очень нравится!!!
Thanks for watching 😀
Could have at least used different background music then foureyes.
No finish?
I used a matte finish. Total boat lust in clear matte
@@SpencleyDesignCo Awesome
Love it❤
Very nice man
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the project

Please tell me you named your domino Doug.
He named himself. He’s the only one that does any work in the garage
I have only one comment, ASMR!
I wanna work with you
Oh yeah?
@@SpencleyDesignCo yes!
Are you hiring?
@@SpencleyDesignCo Not me! You! You want to hire me. I wanna work under you.

I did it with the Woodglut plans.
i'll take a look during my colonoscopy next week
Great plans
