Thank you for this, my wife has asked me to maker her a rocking chair after I built our decking. I have no training at all in carpentry so RU-vid videos like yours are a god send!

@jenkins1979 3 года назад

I also just love the taller rocker.You are an inspiration for my 3 young daughters

@JaCk-bj6hs 4 года назад

April, disregard my first comment. I finally got around to looking at my email and there it was. I've downloaded and printed your simple to follow instructions and tomorrow will head to the lumber store. I'm 78 and this will be my first major woodworking project. Thanks again

@shopart1488 4 года назад

After watching this video how could anyone in their right mind give it a thumbs down, why don’t these people just quit RU-vid. Great video absolutely perfect, keep it up. We own a large cabinet shop so I think I know when things look good.

@lorenknowles1521 4 года назад

These are the kind of projects I enjoyed in the beginning. As much as I appreciate your growth, I'm never going to build a massive shop or band saw. I will build garage shop projects and I enjoy learning from your videos.

Christmas toys are good wood projects and if you read this your saying wow, I sure like that idea or I wish I would of thought of that or maybe your already doing it... over one million subscribers. That takes my breath away. I love cedar and how it cleans the air

That sawdust and glue trick has just blown my mind! Beautiful chair April!

Yeah that's pretty boss. Will try on my next project because I always forget to pick up wood putty

@PDX53 4 года назад

Well Mee Maw, all you need is a hand knit shawl around your shoulders & a cat on your lap. Great design & product - as usual. I bought a pair of wired ISO Tunes a couple of years ago when I saw them on your channel and convinced my contractor nephew to buy a pair & he loves them. Probably time for me to upgrade to the wireless - just because I like new things.

@jrkorman 4 года назад

Loved seeing you sitting there in your new chair, petting your chicken! Makes me feel better knowing we're not the only ones! Greetings from Haskell Co, TX!

I wish I had even half your talent, even 25% of your shop space and maybe 50% of my own age. Maybe your work will stay in my mind long enough to allow me to re-engineer parts to save my favorite old rocker that is falling apart. Thanks. -Ron

Lookin gorgeous April!!! You👈🏼 and your rocking chair! Ohh pls leave your western red cedar as it is plus clear matte poly!!! Pls don’t stain!!!!!!!!!

I wanna see her collab. Maybe build furniture for Matt's mansion.

@em21701 4 года назад

Bunker branding handles her merch. Matt mentioned it in an off the ranch video.

@enriquepalomino8636 3 года назад

i knew I liked her videos since the beginning, but I I love Demolition Ranch and she happened to be wearing some Demolition Ranch merch. That is just awesome. Maybe April and Matt can make a colab video, that would be interesting.

@larrybe2900 4 года назад

April, really cool rocker. What is not to like about it? Rock on. One suggestion to prolong it, being softer wood, would be to attach a layer of plastic on the bottom of the runners since it might encounter rough surfaces. Or not.

@patmanhoward5681 4 года назад

The ISOtunes bluetooth are the most comfortable and noise effective plugs I've ever worn. Thanks for the recommendation April! AND the Videos!

@mattmorrissr3571 4 года назад

I love all your videos. You are so beautiful and a true craftsman. Your skill in the shop is better than most of the you-tubers who try to be experts. You are a winner.

@fredericrike5974 4 года назад

I suspect we are getting much closer to dropping the gender identification in a lot of such terms- maybe "crafter" or "maker" would fit better all around.FR

@charleyl264 4 года назад

A simple tip - When removing glue from an inside corner, I found that a disposable soda straw pressed into the corner to form it into a triangle and then pushed forward collects the wet or partly set glue very well. A pair of snips removes the glue filled section, so you can continue using the same straw, but lacking the snips, just throw the straw out and use another. You will be surprised how well this works. I never miss one of your videos.

@javierybarra6255 2 года назад

@dushan9392 3 года назад

@ricklott5923 4 года назад

April you never cease to amaze me. Thank you

@ron827 4 года назад

Another quality project documented with a quality video. I know editing takes a lot of time but your videos are perfect. They are perfect in part because you speak fluently, coherently, not too fast, use easily understood English and are VERY well organized with what you say and do. Your videos are the zenith of what other MeTubers should strive for with their's. Outtakes are always a hoot.

@BrilliantDesignOnline 4 года назад

What Ron said. And great editing. You cracked me up when you cracked you up when test sitting the chair :-)

@xavier8351 4 года назад

I love the idea of the simple strap. As a bike packer, it would come in handy when strapping down the gear to the bike and not scratch my frame. Nice chair!

@AZ-ql6nz Год назад

I learned something new from you thanks. I love that glue and sawdust tip. Definitely would have never thought of it

@jenkins1979 3 года назад

I have to think there must be older people ,retired like me that don't do computers well.Hard to down load,print or even get something you purchase online like plans or printed explanations.Not to mention paying for something with PayPal or that new thing I heard of...venmo I think.A lit of us still use cash or checks in the mail.Im just saying all this so WE are not forgotten. Thank you April your shows are awesome and very skilled.

@zifnab6824 4 года назад

April - pro tip for removing glue squeeze out. a plastic straw cut at a slight angle off 90 degrees works so much better than anything i have found in the last 30+ years.

@johnthreesixteen5643 4 года назад

Some people might forget to like the video. This is awesome and you should ask the like in case the greatly large portion that actually like the video forget about it

@jimm3370 4 года назад

Just want to say this in case anyone slags you for putting up sponsor ads in your vids: 'They put a few bucks in your pocket, but don't put any words in your mouth." In other words, I TRUST your judgement, and thus your endorsement is more word-of-mouth than anything else. I'm really glad that you've reached the level of success that such good co's seek your endorsement. Congratulations.

@upsidedowndog1256 4 года назад

I would bet a large amount of money that you are currently off your rocker! Edit: excellent result. My grandfather had a furniture building company and he personally specialized in rocking chairs.

@thesheff79 4 года назад

I make my first 4 seat slats 1 inch wide and space rhem 1/4 apart. This gives the nose of the seat a more curved perfect look. The remaining slats are 1 1/2 wide and spaced half to 3/4 apart. Your chair looks great by the way.

@timcombes9054 4 года назад

Great project! Well done! And you look really great rocking on that chair held together with nothing but clamps. It just provided the drama for us "hoping" to see you fall down ... but you didn't. lol

@jrlopez7348 Год назад

Very nice job love the way it came out I love working with cedar plus you can use the sawdust In garden to keep pest away

@jayeckhart1561 4 года назад

You have more faith in the clamps than I do, but then I weigh about two times as much. I think that you demonstrated that chickens are not a lap animal. Nice rocking chair.

@bobbanker4457 4 года назад

I just received the templates for the rocking chair... Thank you! One suggestion on the templates if I may... identify the template parts. Although watching you build the chair over and over is certainly enjoyable, it makes for a long day😆. Thank you😀 Bob Banker
