This design is so perfect. It's "beefy", yet clean lines and timeless style. Lots of options with the feet or no feet. Perfect for some many indoor, out door uses. This design can grow, or downsize with the family and circumstances. A set of 4 would make a versatile modular set. 3 make a couch with 1 chair, 2 make 2 love seats, or 4 chairs to put around the fire pit... so many flex ideas.
I completely like the chair, feet or no feet!! Maybe just a small rubber foot pad under it to keep it from scratching or rubbing the area you place it. I’m going to make a couple of these! Thanks again for a great video.
I'm seeing this as a pool side chair. Slick looking chair. I like how it breaks down for storage. The weight means it'll stay put. It won't blow into the pool. Great job. 👍
The feet really elevate the design (it feels more like an art piece with them on) but I totally get leaving them off for outdoors for practical reasons. I appreciate the level of detail and thought you always put into your videos, thank you for all your hard work!
I love this! For my knees, I would need it to be a little higher, but I like the look either way. Maybe make a couple of each, so guests could choose which to use. Redwood would also be a great look for these. Excellent presentation of your process also.
Made the chair, my friend loves it! She is smaller so I made it so the seat had two places to install the back. One for her and one for anyone else. I used the larger lumber for the seat and thinner for the back. No problems with strength on the back. She installed industrial rollers for the feet to help her move it. Now she wants a foot stool to match ! Thank you for the great ideas and videos.
I like no feet, but I think it should naturally sit a bit higher. Geometry of the base would have to change a bit but you could still get the same look
Interior and exterior glue. Amazing. I was using some exterior glue that said “under no circumstances is this to be used indoors.” Great video I’ll be making one!
Love all of your videos. Wish I was good at carpentry and had my own tools to try and tackle some of your projects. You make everything look so simple even for people who do not posses the trade. Thx for your inspiring videos. Love them.
I like it with the clear feet, because it looks like it's floating but also because it introduces a second type of material to the chair i.e. wood + perspex/glass.
Oh the price of lumber will not be noticably decreasing, and neither will the cost of anything else. If people haven't figured out what is happening yet, they'll likely not at all, or at the very least, figure out too little too late.
I deleted my original post because I read the other comments. people, like me, critique the way they would like it or build it. You have the original concept and it works for you. Great build and video. keep up the good work.
Hello, the chair looks amazing with the feet. I also love how neat the bottom edge of your garage walls look. How did you cover the bottom part? My garage has about 6 inches of exposed concrete and the the drywall on top.
My wife has been after me to make some patio chairs! Now I know what to make! Great design! 👍🏼 I also make heavy furniture. I use old reclaimed wood for all my projects and some of my stuff looks like stuff from mid-evil area! But people buy it! Thanks for sharing this great looking chair! 👍🏼🙏
Looks like something that belongs next to a pool or on a sandy beach. I like the bulk of the design. I'm a big guy, and this looks like it would hold me just fine. Quality work.
I'm with WRC, Glen. I like the chair both ways. If I have to pick, I'd go with the feet, because it's hard for me to get up from a low piece of furniture. This is a fantastic design. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Both look good but I agree with no feet! I just found your channel and I'm already glued lol I'm a diy gal myself and I've always wanted to try making furniture but a lot of videos are more for men or I can't understand them but I can perfectly understand how you are teaching so thank you! I'll send photos of what I make! Keep up the good work!
I like this. Simple and stylist. I think it looks better without the feet. I would suggest you stain and seal wood before putting together to protect all of the wood, including the dowels and between the joints. Thank you for making the plans available.
This is exactly what I needed, props to you. Yes, it does need a ton of work to be a full “Woodworking Bible”, but Woody Hyezmar’s book is still in draft status and available for all to download.
Those are beautiful, well-made chairs. I’d prefer them either without the feet or to have the same shape of the feet in the same wood and stain color as the rest of the chair.
Thanks for sharing a lovely video. I like it without feet or with a small invisible rubber pad to protect the floor from marks. Overall very good looking, relaxing and mobile chair. Thanks again. Cheers from Darwin Australia 🇦🇺
This chair is excellent, the only thing I would do for it would be to run a 2x4 along the bottom so that you can lock in the seat back when its in the folded position.
I look the appearance of the chair with no feet, but it would be too low due to chronic knee problems, so will have to modify and add higher timber legs. Thanks for the video.
I'd like the extra height added by the feet. In fact, I'd rather have it higher still, But it is a nice design and I agree about the substantial look of the 2X lumber.
Heh Glen, I prefer the chair WITH the feet. I feel it gives the chair the FLOATING look, as you said and so I believe it makes the chair look and feel more elegant. Great share.
