The Dart [with Plans Bonus]: paskmakes.com/the-dart-bundle My first video for a while since a much needed break. It's great to be back and with the perfect type of project to get my teeth into. It has a bit of everything with metal fabrication and woodworking. :) Check out Corin's handmade tools, for free shipping use the code Pask-FP www.niroc.com.au
@@nehocdrofsnop It would get tedious to show every slight mishap and some small things would just halt the video for no good reason. But if it's a proper mistake or mishap then I always show it. :)
Oh yeah, I noticed this too. We come here to see those artistic flairs that make your projects stand out from whatever you can get off the shelf everywhere. A kayak, night stand, mini clamps, a guitar, lamps, etc... All that is already available and it is therefore "over the top" to try to make your own of pretty much anything. But these are _yours_ and that's the whole point of "makers" and channels like yours in general.
But Neil's approach to making custom plywood, while nonchalant, makes it appear within the average WW hobbyist's reach. The welding and press work is really impressive.
Part of the pleasure of seeing your projects is the "over the top" elements you design and add to your projects. You are an artist as well as a craftsman.
Once again, your "I'll give it a go" lets me know that we're in for a good time and that we'll learn a lot. Beautiful chair, Neil. Thanks for sharing this. This was very enjoyable and very informative. I always learn a lot.
Right?! When my father in law used a coffee mug to trace the corner of an outdoor seating area, it was a V-8 moment. (Of course any round item you use was made with a curve template!)
You Sir need to rename your channel to « Pask Can Do All ». You are truly a modern day Renaissance Man. It is an honour to watch you create. Thank you.
That plywood is incredible quality! Nice build. I would love to see you furnish your house some more with your own pieces. The shop furniture is so nice, I’d bet the furniture you could make now for your home would be top notch
The test of a talented and inventive cook is being able to create a delicious, memorable meal using only the ingredients and tools found in the kitchen. I think we can all finish the analogy on our own from here.
There isn’t much you can’t do and I love to see you try new methods. You have such a knack for jigs and fixtures. What a joy this was to watch. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Amazing vid! Very inspiring for me and my classmates studying Industrial Design! Great demonstration of techniques and practices that I often see left out. Thank you for sharing this amazing project!
I have a farmhouse table, inset bookshelf where my fireplace used to be, and a workbench for the shop going on right now. It’s great to sit back and watch you work while I put those projects off for another week lol.
The chair looks great. Well done. I like how you call it "making plywood" where other makers call it the fancy "bent lamination". I think you're right one, we're just making plywood! Love all the detail.
Your skills are unparalleled. I know you’ll think, “It was just a simple chair” but sometimes the simplest things are the easiest to screw up. Just the legs could have been slightly wonky or wavy but they are absolutely perfect. AMAZING!
I have been subscribed to your channel to watch your videos for a long time ! I liker how you tell what you are doing !! Keep up the good work !! Hi from the USA !!
Beautiful work and big thanks. You won't get anything like that from Ikea!! I am a hobbyist woodworker and furniture maker, yet to introduce myself to metalworking. Your vast skillset and experience are something to behold and I learn something every time I watch your well filmed and produced videos. Big thanks from Sydney - Dave
Neil, it's extremely satisfying watching you create your next project and how easy you alway's seem to make it look. That said the chair looks great and the best thing about it is that not only does it look good but it will definitely outlast anything that you could buy in the shops. I bet you really are happy about the fact that you rescued the fly press and restored it as it's possibly one of those tool's that you use the most. As alway's buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
Again a beautiful project and gorgeous craftsmanship 👏🏻 (You chose the most beautiful shade of green 😅) I enjoyed every minute. Thank you for this sunday gift and especially for the sincerity in your videos. Be safe Neil ✌🏻
Great timing, I've been wanting to make some laminated plywood chairs for my boat; but couldn't work out how to make veneers with simple tools. Corin makes heirloom quality tools in both quality and artistry of design; free international shipping is incredible given how poor our dollar is here.
You acquired some real skill with your flypress! What a unique project, thanks for sharing. Also, it's a great project with a wide variety of skills and techniques.
Isn't incredible that we manage to find round things in the shop that matches exactly the radius required on corners! Thanks Neil, from across the ditch.
Very inspiring project! You can make a press break with huge capability quite cheaply. Fwiw I made a 49" width capacity 40ton air-over-hydraulic press brake for a tad under $1k USD. It has theoretical capability to bend 3/8" mild steel plate 48" wide. The heaviest bends I've done so far were 37" wide 14ga. mild steel and 16" wide 1/2" mild steel. It handled both with ease. *We're Makers--we don't have to settle for buying expensive machines or do without because they cost too much 👊
Thank you, Neil, I always appreciate seeing your work, your thought process as you work and how you deal with unplanned speed-bumps. Many blessings from the remote outback of Northeastern New Mexico, USA.
It's the attention to detail that's so impressive. I ave a shop stool to finish, and I'm going to try real hard to invoke the Spirit of PaskMakes when I get it on the bench. Body Filler and Paint will cover a lot of the sins my welding skills would otherwise broadcast to the world! Good to see you back.
Wow. Takes me back 50 years. Looks factory made The plywood is really nice. There are a few 1960s bent wood chairs they still make today ill bet you would have no problem doing copy of.
As usual, a superlative job. Might be time to swap out welders. Miller has a multi-process that lets you have mig and tig set up at the same time, auto switch over when you activate the other gun control.
I just placed the order, I can’t wait!!! It’s really nice to support my favorite maker and I look forward to using the plans! Beautiful chair btw, I remember the metal scoring jig and its come in really handy. If you could do a welding class for these type projects I’ll definitely watch! I’ve always loved the mix of metal to wood to making your own marking tools, especially the chisels types and how you reuse old files or anything you have that you’d otherwise throw out and instead give these things new life. Out of all the channels this has been the most educational, thought provoking and inspiring. I never wanted to get into welding or knife and tool making till I discovered your channel years ago. I think it was your beautiful front door revamp that I clicked on first and then all the “scrap wood” challenges and so on. Anyways your work and channel is a true gem in the woodworking, welding, etc. maker community
Thanks very much and thanks for the support! It's awesome that my projects have inspired you, I'm not sure I'm the person to teach welding though. I reckon welding is one of those things you need to practice at and just give it a go, there's plenty of helpful videos to get you started. :)
My dad has a chair similar to that which he's used for years to do drafting. Although, his has a ring that you can rest your feet on, and soft padding for the seat and back, but it's still in a very similar form factor to this.
Nice video. One can also weld them up into the inside, using a Mag-welder, to restore the strength. I used this method on a compressor pressure-vessel legs. Excuse me for using the term "Mag-Welder", it is only the gas that differs from "Mig-welder" in that it uses 20 % Carbon-Dioxide and maybe 1 % Oxygen, the rest Argon, Mig-welder on the other hand uses allmost pure Argon or maybe Helium, with maybe some slight proportions of aditative gases for welding Aluminium. I think the thing is very important, for you can not weld Aluminium with a mixed gas of Argon and 20 % Carbon-Dioxide + 1% Oxygen. Hence Mig / Mag. You can not weld steel with pure Argon either, as with Aluminium. Metal arc welding inert gas = MIG Metal arc welding active gas = MAG Hence the term MIG / MAG. TIG is another cup of tea, it means Tungsten arc-welding Inert Gas. It uses a different kind of current and bow, a pure stream of Argon mixture, and requires additative metal feeded from the side, as in gas-welding, however extremely beatiful in the doing.
Gawd, I remember seats like this in school. Those bolts in the seat certainly left an uncomfortable memory when you're a kid without much meat on their sit bones! 😂😂 Hope your recessed ones are a lot more comfortable.
Genuinely amazing video and work quality, the plywood turned out well! One of the VERY few channels i will always click on the second i see a new upload. Even amongst so many thousands creators on this platform your video style just stands out. Also please do more chairs!
That’s a cool vintage chair project. I got a bunch of steel case desks tables and chairs, some very similar to this project in the 90’s when my job closed down. These things will out live me.

Great job!
I bought the Dart a few months ago, I haven't used it yet, it's far too pretty! 😁
Hope you had an enjoyable break! 💜
@@Vormulac1 Awesome though you should use it! Thanks for the support! :)
I've always liked that you don't edit out your mistakes, you don't try and sell some false view of your craft. It's admirable.
you don't know what you don't know
@cho4d fair enough. But the fact that he chooses to leave at least some in, that's more than a fair few youtubers can say.
No worries - Glad you're enjoying the videos. :)

Makes own plywood
"Making my own wing nut might be over the top" 😂
Yeah, you're probably right! :)
But that plywood was gorgeous and it’s the easiest way to get the shapes :)

I'm a sucker for vintage and industrial styles. Great job on this one!!
Me too - Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Once again, well done!
Really like the "homemade" plywood, it turned out awesome!
2:14 truly awesome techniques!
Once again, your "I'll give it a go" lets me know that we're in for a good time and that we'll learn a lot. Beautiful chair, Neil. Thanks for sharing this. This was very enjoyable and very informative. I always learn a lot.
Thank you Vickie - Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I love all the random things you use for circle traces (sanding disks, duct tape roll, etc.) So resourceful!
Right?!
When my father in law used a coffee mug to trace the corner of an outdoor seating area, it was a V-8 moment. (Of course any round item you use was made with a curve template!)
There always seems to be something with just the right radius. :)
The sanding disk for the compound curve of the seat was amazing too!
Damn, that is superb. I can only imagine doing something this nice.
Slick! As for your wingnut being over the top, nothing’s over the top if it looks cool!
You Sir need to rename your channel to « Pask Can Do All ». You are truly a modern day Renaissance Man. It is an honour to watch you create. Thank you.

I would love to see you furnish your house some more with your own pieces. The shop furniture is so nice, I’d bet the furniture you could make now for your home would be top notch
I was surprised at quite how good the plywood turned out. It really is the nicest piece I've ever used (minus the crack). :)

Heckof a lot of metal work but i know you enjoy using your shop metalworking tools for your own projects!
Corin’s tool are excellent. Awesome quality and well made.
Cheers mate!
There isn’t much you can’t do and I love to see you try new methods. You have such a knack for jigs and fixtures. What a joy this was to watch. Thank you for sharing this with us.
that was awesome. making your own plywood takes "DIY" to a whole new level.
Anybody can be a great welder , as long as you have a good grinder 😎
Just ordered the dart with plans. Thanks great deal.
I love mine! I have two…. The production model and the original prototype;-)
Amazing vid! Very inspiring for me and my classmates studying Industrial Design! Great demonstration of techniques and practices that I often see left out. Thank you for sharing this amazing project!
You said at the end: hope you'll like the video.
Absolutely Loves it! The chair is fantastic
Nothing over the top about the wing nut. It's perfect.
I have a farmhouse table, inset bookshelf where my fireplace used to be, and a workbench for the shop going on right now. It’s great to sit back and watch you work while I put those projects off for another week lol.
I love it when you say “ I think I can do better than that “ 😊
Looks great!
The chair looks great. Well done. I like how you call it "making plywood" where other makers call it the fancy "bent lamination". I think you're right one, we're just making plywood! Love all the detail.
Great looking chair. Better then any store bought one.
Your skills are unparalleled. I know you’ll think, “It was just a simple chair” but sometimes the simplest things are the easiest to screw up. Just the legs could have been slightly wonky or wavy but they are absolutely perfect. AMAZING!
I tuned in for the homemade plywood and stayed for the fly press! Gorgeous result and I love the finish. Can't wait to see your other designs!
Thank you!!! Thank you!!! For sanding out the inside of the pipe!!!! My CDO ( OCD) was kicking in and driving me INSANE!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your craftsmanship, ingenuity and patience always amaze me. Great chair!
Thanks very much! :)
Another fantastic build, Neil! That was so cool how you made the plywood from the floorboards.
I have been subscribed to your channel to watch your videos for a long time ! I liker how you tell what you are doing !! Keep up the good work !! Hi from the USA !!
I like the metal cutting jig, basically a copy of a roller type paper cutter, good thunking.
Thanks, I'm super pleased with it. :)
Beautiful work and big thanks. You won't get anything like that from Ikea!! I am a hobbyist woodworker and furniture maker, yet to introduce myself to metalworking.

Hello from Maine, USA
You should really have a look through his back catalog if you liked this one!
You really are a Master Craftsman's Master Craftsman!
this channel is very inspiring.
That is super clean and retro. Love the lines and the wood. Neil, another great project in the books.
I do not care if making your own wing nut is overkill. It was a marvel to watch you make something you wanted!!❤❤
Again a beautiful project and gorgeous craftsmanship 👏🏻 (You chose the most beautiful shade of green 😅) I enjoyed every minute. Thank you for this sunday gift and especially for the sincerity in your videos. Be safe Neil ✌🏻
12:58 the hellraiser clamps 😂
That fly press is like the decked out version of a book press and I love it
"I'll give it a go" makes me settle back in my chair with a smile. I'm Never disappointed! Thanks mate, and stay Blessed.
Beautiful piece. Video well done.
Великолепное рабочее кресло! В истинно ретро стиле. Основательное, чтобы могло служить не одному поколению людей! Спасибо Вам за творчество.
You always seem to come up with the most true to form vintage style designs yet fresh enough to blur the line between yet another great shop chair
Looks factory made. Amazing job.

Now you don't need to buy plywood, you make your own out of scrap wood.
👍🏼
Didn't think I'd ever say this about a chair but it looks delicious!! Well done sir 👏
Glad you like it! Thank you. :)
It looks _so_ good!
Great to have you back, Neil, hope you're fully refreshed. And, yes a superb project to kick off with and a real professional finish as ever!
Thanks very much - all refreshed and ready for the year ahead! :)
If Mr Pask was on Gilligan's Island, the folks on the island would have been back in Hawaii by the end of the first episode!
Neil making the Professor look bad.
Sorry, no. Gilligan would have put a hole in the bottom of the kayak.
Isn't incredible that we manage to find round things in the shop that matches exactly the radius required on corners! Thanks Neil, from across the ditch.
Unreal. You are incredible at what you do, including making homemade hardwood ply. That green is a gorgeous color too! Excited for the next episode.

Skills make you free!
Man that plywood turned out so pretty!! Brushbox has such a lovely colour to it.
It's nice to see so many small techniques used in one project combining wood and metalworking. Bravo!
What a work of art!! 😍😍😍 These old designs were perfect. Truly functional and made to last 👏👏👏

Stuck on a train on a Monday commute
Pask just made it better 😊
Elegant, in its industrial way. I love you make stuff I’d never think one could make in a home shop. Cheers!
Bringing the correct design elements that just work is worthwhile hiring a designer
The sounds effects in this one cracked me up!
Years ago, for making curved plywood, I used a fire hose energized with compressed air, and sandwiched between two forms, and two glued-up pieces.
Ottimo lavoro come sempre amico, sei bravissimo, saluti 👍👍👍👍👍👍👋👋👋
Awesome chair, sir, I would be happy to own one. Nothing is over the top for you because everything you build is already over the top! Well done!
This chair reminds me of school. Great job 👍
beautiful work Neil, you reminded me of the old Toledo furniture!!! Bravo!!!
Love it! I would also like to see you make your other vintage chairs that you are designing!
Everything pask makes is BYOOOOTIFUL.
Yes, please make more vintage projects! ❤
That’s a cool vintage chair project.
I got a bunch of steel case desks tables and chairs, some very similar to this project in the 90’s when my job closed down. These things will out live me.
