It is VERY humbling when a guy who has every single possible tool available (and some that aren't!) to human kind at his disposal uses a drill, a hand plane, a band saw and a table saw to make this beautiful chair. This is why he's the Godfather!. Thanks for the inspiration man!

Very enjoyable and inspiring. Brass screws are absolutely unforgiving. Best to use a steel screw first to cut the thread and then back it out and slip the brass one in - much less chance of munting the brass screw head. Thanks for the video. Cheers, David

So relaxing to watch while waiting for a meeting, your flow is amazing I wish I had the space to indulge my creativity like this. You remind me of my dad who on weekends would disappear into his workshop with his cache of scrap wood and a myriad of glass food jars full of assorted new and salvaged hardware. Eventually a few weekends later a beautiful piece of furniture would emerge. If it was a chair sit on it once a table run his rough hands over it with one eye he gave 99% of the pieces away as it was the process that was the reward.

I noticed you have a Do All machine in your shop! Years ago the steel company i worked for shut down the pattern shop which was used to make molds for pouring steel. A crazy guy i worked with in the fab shop bought all the machines. Everyone thought he was nuts because they were all 3 phase. He was crazy as a fox because he got them for cheap and sold it all for $25,000! Today they would be worth three or four times that much. They were all in excellant condition and built like tanks !

The best has to be, this can be anyone’s workshop, although very nice, nothing super flashy. You show the middle of the build. To me, the most important part of any build. The place where many mistakes can be made and ideas are formed or changed.

Great build. The chair is great. One microscopic detail that rang my OCD bell. My father always made me line up the screw head slots. Really they all had to be in a straight line. I think I will make for of these for my patio. After all they only take 20 minutes apiece to build!

What a cool car in the background ! What make and model, 1950’s rocket ship styling. The woodwork going on is pretty good too. I teach Design Technology at Diploma and Middle Years programme. I would love to do this as a project etc. I was a fine antique conservator / cabinet maker in London before teaching in Jordan and now S Korea. I am pleased to see you using push sticks. I cannot show students videos with hands going close to saw blades as it sends mixed messages on safety.
