In the next video please tell us how many copies you sold

I just bought the plans. I have no wood or tools. I'm just here to support this man and his fantastic channel

Even though you didn't actually say it, I heard it. I miss my dad too.

I bought the plans to support your amazing work and to help fight the war against bad woodworking and pocket holes.

Okay. But only because you asked nicely lol. Love the chairs.

Your Father was a true craftsman. I'm glad to see you followed in his footsteps. My dad was also a craftsman, furniture and cabinet maker, and I'm doing my best to carry on in his footsteps.

Just bought the plans, but I don't have a shop : ) ... just as a thank you for the nice videos!

I had to look up the german word for spokeshave and learned it's called "Schweifhobel". As a native german speaker it's funny to learn the woodworking terminology only in english and I'm often at a loss for the right word when I talk to my father about it :) Thanks for all your videos, they do mean kind of a lot to me.

I just bought your plans. I have previously purchased plans of yours (band saw), so I can attest to the extensive detail and exceptional quality. Very well done, happy customer

I know most of the people kind of take it for granted but I really appreciate you giving background on those chairs even the parts that are more private.

ok ok just bought the plans, not really because I'm going to build them (however if I ever want to build chairs in this style, I'll definitely consult your plans, it's just that I prefer different styles of chairs with more handtoolwork) but to support you, I have been enjoying your videos for a long time and I'm happy to support you with a few dollars. edit: I really enjoy when you explain why you make something the way you do and why it is stronger (or still strong enough but easier to make) this way I have learned a lot this way.

As much as I admire your craftsmanship, your father's chairs are at another whole level. Beautiful, beautiful work.

I don't have the tools or the skill to build these chairs just yet, but I purchased the plans anyway because I like your videos and want to support you in making future videos.

I don't have the material, skill, or tools to make these BUT I bought them anyway.

It still staggers me the amount of thought and care and ingenuity that goes in to anything that is build well and to last. I love this for giving me a window into the thinking of someone at the top of their game.

For all the hours of free entertainment you given I'll gladly buy the plans just to say Thank You!

I do have woodworking ambition, but my skills are just not there yet to take on the chair projects. But I'm buying these plans as a goal project for maybe a year or two from now. The amount of analysis and consideration put into your builds are always a reassurance that I'm getting something that I can rely on for years to come. I'll return the please by saying, please don't stop making videos and plans! The quality of your work is second to none.

You should make some scaled down kid sized versions out of two by four. Also, I love hearing stories about your dad.

I can't argue with you, bad chair designs are bond to end up on someone bench to be repaired. I know that I had to fix all those chairs. Thank you for the interesting video

Hi Matthias, I am not planning to build the chair any time soon but I just bought the plans to support you. Keep up your amazing projects and videos! Greetings from Switzerland

The way you speak of your father makes me realize I need to use the time I have with my dad. I know it's been years since he passed, but I'm still sorry for your loss.

Hey Matthias, I have to tell you that I am a bit proud of it to have a copy of your plans from your Dad's chairs. Not just to support you a bit ;-). I actually will build those nice chairs and if you don't mind I will send you some pics from the build. Stay save Tim from France P.S. Ich meine diese art von Stuehlen schon mal im Schwarzwald gesehen zu haben. Die waren da aber schon 50 Jahre alt und super in schuss.

Love these chairs, I've bought the plans. (I also bought the swing set plans as my sister-in-law's swing set is falling apart!)

Done. Bought one, what a bargain. It now gives me something to aspire to in the not so near future. Thank you.

I bought some plans too, I don't need chairs, but you are truly inspiring. Love from the Netherlands!

I just bought a set of plans. Actually I don't like the classic design of the chairs that much and if I will ever build chairs I might modify the plans to suit my needs or do something completely different. Main reason for me to buy them was to apprechiate you, your work and all the stuff I was able to learn from your videos. All the best wishes to you and your family from Germany, Hesse!

Thanks for providing the plans.

I don’t need any chairs but am tempted to buy a plan or two just to show my appreciation for your genius creativity.

I can’t believe that apple press and shredder article is almost 20 years old! I’ve been following you for a long time! 😊

Love these videos that are tributes to your fathers work. He clearly was a true craftsman just like you are.

"a machine of moderate complexity" ;)

Ok, I'm in. I really enjoyed this walk-though describing all the thought that both you and your dad put into these. Scott

I'm a former electronics engineer with a background in laser cutting machinery. Now, I'm what's called "an old fart" but I built a shop at my retirement property, and I absolutely enjoy your presentations and especially your plans. Anyway, as an official Old Fart, I don't do Instagram (or Facebook, or Twitter) so I pretty well get left out of those communication channels. Thanks for the KZfaq videos.

Having recently struggled to build an Adirondack chair with the plans from Rockler I really appreciate the skill it took to make these chairs. Great job to you both. I bought the plans just to support you. The chance of me making a chair is slim to none and "none" just left town. I just do not have the skills.

I like the opportunity to support creators that I like.

Just bought the plan. Everything download fine, including the cad drawing. Thanks.

I think I might buy a set of plans for these chairs I get paid tomorrow. Not cause I'm gonna build them but cause I've been watching this channel for 8 years now since I was just in middle school. I've learned so much from this channel from basic precision to knowing how to be patient with the wood. My dad is a carpenter but you do so many things he's just never done and seeing them done for real instead of just reading about it is so invaluable.

I was thrilled to buy your plans. Thank you for your great videos. Please keep making them.

The square design is actually quite appealing. I made once a four kitchen chair set, and can easily see the strength of this design. Kudos to your dad for it! I'm sure he's proud of your version.

I've been wanting the plans for the screw advance box joint jig for a while, so I checked my bank account and it wasn't at $0 for a change, so I bought that and the chair plans as well.

Ordered. Also subscribed - no idea why I didn’t do that a long time ago. Thanks Matthias!

Its good to see these kinds of videos from you again. This is what made your main channel the success it became way back. Not trying too hard is part of your recipe that works. And your characteristic workshop is part of it too. Thanks, and all the best!

Just purchased plans. Thanks for making the Sketchup file available as well. Sometimes there is a view or measurement you want and that file makes it so easy. You really do great work Matthias.

I just purchased your plans. I think i can covert them to inches but if you make a set with inches I'll buy them again. Thanks for all of the working videos you do, they are really informative.

Bought to support! Top 10 fave channels on here. Thanks for the amazing content as always.

Just bought the plans, Thanks Mathias, I'm not sure I'll make them but I will let you know if I do. I do enjoy your channel and this honors that work and your Dad too

I bought them. I've been thinking of making some really sturdy chairs, and even if I decide to change the style, this would be a good starting point to riff from. Plus, I've been watching you for years and learned a ton from your videos, so I'm happy to support you! One of these days I'm going to buy one of the hybrid pantorouters, too.

This is great! I've been working on a few chairs based on a fairly inadequate plan I found online that were put together with pocket hole joints. The first one split exactly where you pointed out, no surprise. So I've been getting ready to modify the design to use mortise and tenon and to do steam bending to curve the backs. Thanks for the video!

I must say, you've come a long way with the sales pitch! I remember way back when you made your video about the lawn chairs and how much you hated asking people to buy plans... These do look pretty strong and I liked how you explained so well about the strength of the joints. I do think I'd miss the "butt scoops"... but then I've never actually had flat-seat kitchen chairs so maybe I wouldn't.

Bought cuz you provide hours of knowledge that I enjoy and sometimes use. I have Big print on my computer at work! Saves ink and helps me print scaled photos and drawings!

Thank you for the content. From the first video in this series I was hoping you would have plans available. I just picked up my copy. All the best to you and your family!

Hey Matthias! just bought some of your plans, i'm about to get a new property where i can have my workshop finally setup as all my tools are now stored in a small room, I've been learning a lot of techniques thanks to your channel, and have made some cool stuff, always been scared of the mortice and tenons joinery, but i'll try it out, can't lose anything but gain knowledge. Keep it up on your content!! Best regards!

Chair fixing videos have always been interesting !! Anyways i think what i find most impressive is the understanding of wood. Like you explained all those things that go along with woods properties in the chair design and why inferior chairs might break cause they are deviating more or less. real woodworking.

Plans purchased! Love these chairs.

Since we all enjoy your videos, and you insist on not having a patreon page, now I need some lumber to make a chair.

Since you asked so nicely, I purchased the plans!! :-)

I'll buy them man Ur awesome Always enjoy ur videos Ur my relaxing end to a stressful work day painting other peoples cabinets.

I can make those chairs and with your plans, it becomes so easy that if you make them, considering time spent + material, it is still a lot cheaper than a chair that you buy from shops. Unfortunately in my current condition, I can't make them, even though I have both tools and knowledge, you know, you can't do much in a 300sqft apartment. I should admit, every single one of your plans, worth buying since a lot of thought goes into making them, and as a bonus every single one of them is tested and shown in video. Thank you Matthias

This video makes me really appreciate the skill of the craftsman from the past,before there was cad or computers the men had to work out all this either on the fly or with very rudimentary "Plans".Not to mention everything was done with hand tools.You have to really respect people like matthias's father and our ancestors for what they knew and how they did their work.

Bought the plans, so some day, maybe....

Hello Mattias. I just viewed this video, I just purchased the plans. I don't know if I'll ever build the chairs, but I wanted to support you because of all you do for this community. I truly enjoy your videos, especially the ones when you say, SHIT! I don't know why, but it just sounds funny coming from you. Anyway, thanks for everything.

Just bought. Thanks! I may give it a try next week.

Bought the plans as a thank you for all the videos - got hooked by the organ and the marble machines years ago. I definitely have neither the tools nor the skills to build the chairs - shame, they look sturdy.

Really interesting the history about your dad's work, dude. Really nice! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

10:00 IKEA wants to know your location...

Thank you for making plans for these chairs I will be buying the plans soon. I just score some white oak from my local restore that I have a mind to use to make these chairs with!

"Me too " movement in this sector. Thanks for doing the plans. I've had requests to do chairs but almost always declined because I didn't know what works well.

FYI: I bought the plans, but when I click on the "chair.pdf" download link it just takes me back to the prior page. However, the option to email the plans worked correctly so I did receive them that way.

I've started using the beadlock system for joining, as it's similar to the dowel solution for angles

I kinda like how you analized the way your dad worked and tought just by watching some chairs.

I agree 100% on the square vs trapezoid shape for the seats!

Ok, I usually don't buy plans but I also don't usually make chairs. So I downloaded the pdf. I will give it a try. Keep doing what you Do.

The plans are ridiculosity cheap too!!! I've always wanted to buy many of your plans but was always waiting to get a half-decent shop (currently I have lots of tools on a truck for work) I don't know if I will ever get there! anyway, fantastic plans... truly appreciate the effort.

This is your side channel, your main channel has tons of viewers, you should announce it there.

I don't know if I'll ever get around to building them... but I bought the plans anyway!

Your dad made some beautiful art

Your Dad was a very talented man God rest his soul.

Good advice on chair leg tenons. Thanks!

Hi Matthias great job on chairs look great.I did comment on your last chair build about you should see about doing a kit chair with a company making all the parts you all take care 😀

I am pleased to have a copy of your father's chair design! BTW the link to the sketchup file just took me back to the download page; just fyi, I was just curious.

I am going to buy it. Thank you

No plans to build chairs right now but I bought the plans anyway Matthias. Just because.

Thanks, Matthias.

I like how you apply analysis to the construction and design. It would be cool to see you deconstruct a Scandinavian chair design like that. Even the simplest, finding an IKEA chair and deconstructing its design. Or finding a mid-century Scandinavian chair.

If I remember when I grow up, I'll buy your chair plans.

Beautiful chairs. I agree with you on the style, and, I also like the bigger, square style seat, because of my rotund figure lol I only just found this video, so I've bought the plans... I assume you've sold some, based on comments, and time since posting lol

This would be a great chair if the seat was upholstered. I wonder how you would go about doing that. My thought would be to insert a seat with a cut-out that would then receive the upholster cushion. Still very new to furniture making and just starting on chairs now. Plan to create several chairs in this style with seat cushions.

Excellent

Done. I will call it my pandemic project chair.

Your dad’s chair design with somewhat of a maloof style seat would be really beautiful

I love it. French Canadian folk-Chippendale ladderback.

I like the back rung style of the oak chair vs the spruce chair

Always the best.

cool video!

Great job and I bought your plans just to support you. I hate to disappoint you but my skills are not up to this job so me making a chair is not likely.

I like the pine chair.

They are beautiful. Your Dad was a hell of a guy.

I'm totally going to go buy these plans! I'm a beginner who's been having tools shipped to him from Amazon, and I need a project. This might be too advanced for me, but I need something to start. 😂 Matthias, what would you (or anyone reading this really) suggest as a good beginner project? I'll tell you that I'm really drawn to making machines, but I'd probably be happy being able to "make a box". I've got a table saw, a circular saw, a router, a drill press, a cordless hand drill some clamps a couple of squares (carpenter square, speed square)... No jointer, thickness planer, belt sander, etc. I used to love making things with my hands as a kid, but my dad was a computer programmer and not very handy... So now I'm a programmer trying to rekindle that passion I once had as a kid who was always trying to "make stuff". Anyway, long story short I'm open to suggestions for good first projects. 😁

I do like chairs

Asked that last time too, might fir here even better: How did your Father came up with those plans and did he even make plans? Was it all in his head? And why was he so good at woodworking? Selftaught or was he a Carpenter? I agree they are really beautiful (i only find the parts sticking out the backrest like 1/3 too long) and the one in the Vid still looks brandnew. Thank you for sharing!
