I would stabilize it by adding 4 vertical pieces of wood that connected from the seat slats to the floor. 😎
It's been done a million times
@@betanick14 that was the joke
That's genius
I see what you did there. 😂
That's genius. 🤯🤯
Everyone gives you a hard time for making chairs that you can't sit on because they seem fragile. I think you should make a throne that you can park your truck on.
well sure.. he should.. but that doesnt change the fact that he cant.. becuase hyes clearly bad with weight managment in all forms
He should try to make a da Vinci bridge
One already exists....lol
Now I'm picturing a pick-up sized throne. 🤔
“It’s wants to fall but can’t because of constant pressure”
Same chair same
🤣🤣🤣🤣
actually the joke is "It wants to fall but can't because of constant stress"
same...bzz
Daily dose of memes?
@@mynameiswhat105 well it has 69 likes hehehehehe
"I can sit in any chair and snap it in half!" Same John, same...
Anyone new to woodworking, just because Bessey sponsored this video doesn't mean that him saying " Bessey is the answer" was because of the ad. They really do make the best clamps you can buy. Especially for the price. I have never had a Bessey clamp fail on me.
You my friend are correct hahha
Having a clamp maker sponsoting a woodworking project is like a fresh lemo ade stand in the middle of the sahara...
The only answer a woodworker can give to how many clamps do you have? Is "not enough"
John, I think some of the issues may be coming from how the cables are ran through the wood as one cable. I think the way they are ran through the seat back proper allows the chair to slide back and forth. If they were attached to the chair as individual pieces the chair couldn't move.
More importantly the supporting outer cables need to be tensioned when the chair is under load. The way it was produced here the supporting outer cables become slack under load ie. not supporting the load. Applying more poorly tensioned cables did little to improve the situation.
The outside cables don't support the load, they go slack when someone sits down because you're taking tension off of them... The only cable that supports your weight is the center cable, the rest of the cables try to balance the forces. If you imagine a plate on a ball with each corner tired to the ground, as you push on one corner the rope on that corner becomes more slack, while the opposite corner becomes more tense. HOWEVER, your point is still valid to a degree. You can over tighten the outer cables, causing the object to collapse with the smallest tip in balance while it's not under load, but you don't want them to be too slack while under load, or they are not fulfilling thier purpose.
"Is that right Rambo..." 😂 Boondock Saints!
HAHAHHAHAHHAH such a good line
@@John_Malecki Is it dead?
“You and your stupid rope” is from Boondock Saints. My favorite movie
"Why don't you make like a tree, and get the f*ck out of here?!"
What is the "SSSSSSSSSSSSymbolism"
Fooken rope*
Are you ohbe kaybe
What makes these tensegrity items so “magical” is that it looks like it’s floating; when more and more cables are added it begins to lose that magic because it looks cluttered. The fewer cables the more magical. I also think you should increase the distance between the underside of the chair and the top of the bottom support to really emphasis the illusion that the body of the chair is not connected to the legs.
The center of gravity needs to be centered more over the central cable when someone is sitting in the chair. But the fact that it's a chair means that leaning back places a rotational moment, moving the CG that overpowers the cable tension in the front. a stool would probably work better. Though, it does look awesome.
I thihnk i need to triangulate the whole design, add some widt hto the back and it may help! thanks Puke!
@@John_Malecki
if you make a cable from the lower suspension point to the rear legs, it probably stops the unsteadiness and the lower point cannot move forward.
and was able to learn many of your projects and use in making projects in the netherlands
Had to agree. I would love to see this as a stool as well, since you will only sit upright on the center the twisting/rotation will be minimized
I agree with Schmill. The main cable that holds the weight needs to be towards the rear of the chair. Basically line it up with your spine when sitting. You had it too far forward and created a moment that caused the front cables to burden the load instead of containing the load to main support cable.
I’m a mechanical engineer so I saw the issue right away.
Could you add another main cable from the center straight to the main support of the top... and add tension so when you lean back the chair does not
The Golden Gate Bridge had less cabling than that "floating" chair... interesting build though
It's coz it's a first try for them but yeah taking notes from suspension bridges is probably needed here.
Liar.
To be fair though!
Actually there is about 80,000 miles of wire on the Golden Gate Bridge and there is approximately 11 to 14 feet of cable there
@@wyattstanley5349 r/woooosh
What helps a lot with these tensegrity structures is diagonal cords. like from the left front down at the ground to the left back of the seat itself, from the left front of the seat to the right back down, etc. i did that on my tensegrity shelf and the stability improved drastically. evan and katelyn have a video about it
"Charlie Bronson's always got rope.
He's got a lot of rope strapped around him in the movies, and they always end up using it."
That gives me an idea for a full tensegrity dining room table
Not what would be cool.
Wow, I typoed that one really badly.
Make a metal frame covered with wood do some seriously scary you've never done it before cable tension with a lot of weight on top of the table it will be Rock Solid
@@greggarrot8132 I'm in the process of building it got the design done. Its going to be amazing
Intermediate skills world class shop tools. Geometry of cables is absolutely paramount. Love the videos and his personality.
"Serial crushed by a big friggin' guy" - One of my favorite lines from that movie, lol.
We're like 711, we ain't always doing business... But we're always open.
Bahaahahaha
Amazing quote, "Someone skinny! Prepare your ass." 19:03
As an amateur wood worker, seeing those perfectly square edges after jointing makes me weak in the knees
Dude same I only been woodworking about 2 years now and the two best days of my woodworking life so far we’re the two different days I bought A a plane and B and jointer lol and don’t just buy the cheap ads big box store bench top ones sage up and buy the big 13” dewalt planet and a floor model at least 6” jointer that’s what I have and now it’s so so easy to make perfect square edges and faces that are beautiful and will leave you loving your hobby much much more it’s totally worth it oh and a table saw and track saw and good sanders lol that’s all you need literally
@@TheHomeMaker1 I bought a wen lunch box plane and it does a decent job. But I also bought and had to return a porter and cable 6" jointer. The jointer had aluminum tables and jointing just soft yellow pine for one project on it, huge deep scratches went into the face of the jointer leaving positive matching scratches onto the wood face...
I'm now saving up for a for model, any recommendations?
@@pengwin429 if you can afford it (or save up enough), one with a spiral bit cutter-head. I still need to get one eventually. Probably a Delta, Jet, Grizzly etc.
John that is the greatest movie ever! Boondock Saints, and when he says “aye Rambo” hilarious.
Boondock Saints. The first one. I love those movies.
"What we need, is some rope" "Is that right Rambo?" "Take your stupid ...rope" LOVE this movie!!! "Is it dead?!"
ooooooohhhhh what's the cat's name?
I was thinking Boondox Saints.
You are literally living my dream. Your shop, your job, and your creativity are all dreams of mine. I’m wanting to start an epoxy furniture/countertops business but also want to be able to do all kinds of metal and wood work and build different types of furniture. Literally what you do!
Oh and home remodels as well!
@@loganmorris9005 did you ever start the business
That is the most beautiful carnival ride I have ever seen.☺️
Pretty nice work, John! 😃
It may have problems, but looks really nice!
I don't know what to do to fix it, but next time start with a cheaper wood as a prototype. 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
“I’m f**king fine..... I’ll catch you on the flip side.”
Just found your channel today and have greatly enjoyed 3 videos so far... love them and can practically smell the wood... love it!!!
This was so dope , you guys should Build another one ! I wanna see the whole process of building a fully stable one where you can sit at any angle
185 people cant even build with legos, its amazing how many keyboard professionals have all the answers and opinions, yet you are the one with a successful business and RUclips channel.. weird how that works.
I know right? It's almost as if other professional woodworkers are actually watching, and commenting on RUclips videos. We know that's not possible though. Why would people who are actually knowledgeable in a subject they're interested in watch videos on that subject?
Awesome job, sitting in the chair may require some mental focus, Best line in the video "Someone Skinny prepare your ass" John you said that right as my Girl Friend walked in my computer room.
YES! please do another one. I am also a big guy and would love having a chair like this.
especially if I built one myself.
Of course! you have to make another one !,Cheers from Toronto Canada!
"I'll get my stupid rope. I'll get it. There's a rope right there!"
I can't recall ever laughing with someone sitting in a chair!
Nicely done boys!
Getting crazy wowsers amazing video as always John keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend keep making
I have a Boondock Saints movie poster in my home theater. One of the best movies ever.
and I believe it's "...stupid fuckin' rope!"
What about a tensegrity hammock, where each “arm” that holds the hammock is a tensegrity element?
I admire the maximum clampage greatly boss!
How can are there people not loving this content. Keep on going man! love it!
As a project it's quite nice. I've always loved this kind of "How the hell does this work?" things.
My thoughts about the design are, that the connection between the base and the chair that supports everything should be more on the rear, this way the main tension rope goes with the center of gravity. Probably it's enough to invert the orientation of the wood hooks that he made for the main cable.
Can we get a "Fancy as F&*%" shirt?
I will add it to the idea sheet !
I've never been this early to the party, but I'm psyched about this build! Ready to learn some more about real woodworking!
Boon dock saints is absolutely one of my favorite movies!
Boondock Saints!!!! Love the ass clownery!
Nailed it !
You could benefit from taking some physics courses.
The main issues you're encountering are coming from alignment. Your loads are varied, but your cabling is not, it generally follows one direction which is obviously weak and unstable.
That is not to advise perpendicular alignment. I recommend short interval curved parallel alignment. Consider compression, ductility and the engineering benefits of shallow, long span lateral and vertical arches when designing your pieces.... Good luck.
9:40 I can't believe the chair disrespected your time and effort like that! Your commentary is so funny and your woodworking skills are top notch, keep up the great work.
“ Boondock Saints” One of my absolute favorites. We can officially be friends now John.
Hey I know one like might not be much but what ever helps supports what you love I’m glad to do it and I love wood working myself
Yood video! I am impressed that it is much harder to get it to work than I thought it would be. The flexing of wood is a problem. That might be why most are made of steel instead of wood.
After watching your vids I finally bit the bullet and used some nice wood in a project, built a black walnut toolbox with a thick poplar handle (not the strongest ever I know but it seems alright hahaha) but wow!! I still have a ton to learn but honestly it looks really nice, Im so pleased! Thanks for the inspiration man
IT WAS A FIREFIGGHHHTTTTT! great movie. Great floating chair
Gotta love the 'Saints'!
"Oh, is that so, Rambo?"
That was nicely done, Roc...
Run the play until it is perfect!
Looking forward to chair version 2.0
Love your videos! More and longer videos please.
Boondock Saints, my favorite movie!
Fantastic video John!
Yes! Nice work.
Excellent work!! 👍
"Go to your home!" Gotta love the Happy Gilmore reference!
Big guy problems with chairs, my life story 😆 I'm with ya John, great build and video!!
Love the look. The only way I see fixing the forward/backwards rotation is to move the center of gravity back as you said. Boondock saints is one of my favorite movies.
Boondocks Saints. One of the best movies ever!
Hell ya Daniel ! never gets old
Very nice build. It looked like some of the wires you built were able to slide through the wood. I would change those out were they were unable to slide. Also I would run wire from the back piece at the lower point that has the main wire (the very first wire that you built in thto the vide) to the front legs. Hope this helps.
I may have been rooting for a ca-chunk moment there at the end... LOL! Killer build John. Tension structures always start to look a little radio tower like, so I think you're on the right track.
For stability tighten the front wires a lot more, bringing the chair forward a bit. Then how about, adding wire straight down to floor base, as oppose to two that you did and add tension spring to the center tension wire also to absorb some shock?
smart and funny enough to get my subscription
AMAZING
Wow floating table to floating chair amazing.
This is CRAZY!!!!
Nice idea i would try adding a tension line just under the front of the seat to the top of the pillar to stop sway back
Very cool. Definitely make another one that is a chair you can actually sit on for a while.
I'm paralyzed from the waist down it would be awesome if I had a realtor that floated. Awesome chair and great video
"You and your stupid rope" - Boondock Saints. Great movie indeed, in my top 10 for sure.
This is peak design !
Boondock saints is hands down one of my top 5 movies
Nice, let's see another one!
You need your own Waterboy for some high quality H2O. Awesome build.
Bessey IS the answer. At least in my home shop
Boondock saints is the one of my top 3 favorite movies and what a good scene to quote as well
I can't even put together Ikea items, yet I can't stop watching this channel!
Tables lovely. Could really do with a couple more cables
More DIY vs Amateur vs Pro ! Love that series
Love these builds, Boondock Saints greatest 2 movies ever.
Looks like the Wright Brothers first flying machine...I like
Well it certainly illustrates the diversity of the word!
To fix the rocking back back problem you can run a hole from the base of the seat "arm" (where it pokes out from the rear vertical back support) and twist the 2 wires together and inlay them into the front arm of the base to anchor them at the very bottom where the chair sits on the floor
This is sweet! I feel the not being able to sit in delicate chairs. Another great creation.
Wicked idea and execution... I have to see every stone, pound & ounce of your hefty frame suspended in one of these chairs. I recon it's going to take some scaffolding-handrail bent with a mandrel and some slightly thicker gauge wire!
Boondock Saints. One of the best movies EVER!!!!!!!!!
What a shop... I love my shop it’s home but oh boy am I envious haha
It’s a shame that I haven’t long discovered your videos/builds. I like you and think you are pretty cool. I would like to see your interpretation of a floating shelf with a hidden compartment? Something like we have not already seen on youtube, I’ll continue to catch up on your videos whilst you figure something rad out.
Boondock saints! My favourite movie of all time. Nice reference.
Boondock saints! My all time favorite movie and you just became my favorite wood worker for that lol
Awesome build. Maybe call this one frankstein and the next version floating chair 👍🏼
this is very cool would you ever build anything from hemlock i know its a strong wood and it kinda looks nice
Another great video! Why not use the CNC for the chair legs?
The best movie. Boondock Saints!
This is sweet. i still cant wrap my head around whats keeping it from rocking backwards, at least to the point where the lower mounting cable mounting point (bottom of the chair piece) goes forward and its the back of the front vertical support. I'm sure its simple, but its some kind of optical illusion that I can't figure out
