Hey everyone its Dylan and we've got a little bit of a different video we're doing a start
to finish process on these dining chairs that we've designed so we've been working on these
chairs for probably about a month and we decided to put it all together in one video it's kind of
our first time we've done this start to finish and we're going to show you the whole process of
assembling these solid wood frames and kind of the the joinery saw we use we're going to show
you how we used our CNC and what techniques we did by hand as well because we kind of combine CNC and
hand cut techniques in this then we also got this custom upholstery done so this is Italian Euro
soft leather the chair frames are walnut this is a pretty pretty awesome video we're pretty pleased
with how it turned out so let us know what you guys think of this chair design and if you'd like
to see more videos like this in the future hey everyone so we have been working away well Brad
mostly has been working away today on our chairs so I thought I'd give you guys a little bit of a
walk around at what he's got going on and show you the different components but this is going to be
the first ever chair design that we've released so there's Brad there he's programming lunch on
what you're doing on the machine they just setting up our first little component run here I'm gonna
want to run the chair bottom pieces up the legs the bottom of the legs Apple tenant on the end
yeah glued together or not glued together taped together to accommodate a larger pod to give me
more suction to hold them down in about 5 to 10 minutes still and I should be ready to run this
suite and then we got the Maloof joints right yeah and those are another part of the whole
deal going on here testing dusting blocks of testing chair design right coming along
some layout for cutter Maalouf joinery lots going on lots of fun you guys okay so well
breads finishing up on the CNC I'll show you our components so this is going to be our seats they
are hollow that's because there's going to be a cushion and upholstered cushion with nice fabric
that's going over top of this then over here we've got some of the other components but I
believe this is a bottom rail on one of the chairs you guys are going to get to see why we have this
piece of maple taped in there that's actually a dummy piece but it's just so we can fit one
of these large pods to hold it instead of one of the small pods looking for 10.8 pretty close yeah
basically bang on,
okay guys these are the chair backs we're going to be cutting as
you can see they're taped back-to-back here and you can see I've got a filler
strip in the middle of these two to allow me to grab these pieces with a
larger pod you'll see as we go through our process should be very interesting
any cuts on this one is well to do it so yeah yeah cuz this isn't just a straight block or small cuts
to know is there Oh here's the program everybody in here today I just spent I don't know the last
15 minutes right now pull a custom program for where to cut these pieces big mortise cut in
the bottom we're ready to run our second set of chair components but our much-loved EF siro
Mairead this is there we bought it for on our machine and the Paulette and rail tape system
more versatile for pizza parlour pieces apart two components as opposed to sheet goods you would use
a table page system Howard's is pod and rail a coupon system there's a vacuum pump actuated
right now it I lay my piece approximately in position there's some dimples that'll get a
kick to press here these little balls the vacuum itself is actuated by a foot pedal down here now
if I hold my pieces in place and that pulls the whole thing down here you guys nice
this whole kerosene were cutting for Malou style corners going to be going in this one
we're just continuing work on our custom chairs that Dylan is designed and then we figured out
some really amazing joinery well as far as we're concerned it's amazing joinery this
was a test blog to create my corner attachment this is our seat base here done with the Maloof
inspire type joinery this is our test block it we've modified our program just a little
bit from here the leg will get attached to the block and then the leg will be glued on as well
here too so I've got all my testing I'm ready to run the walnut pieces of this test block
see that this was our test block it's all geometry everything has a little radius line
give an endpoint so our test block as you can see here when we put that in there I had a little bit
of a gap left in here so I worked on some geometry and did another slight little radius change line
and give an endpoint and look at that you guys it just fits like a dream okay so we deliberately
left the cheap frame older slice here you can see that compared to the lakes I didn't know
how much I was going to leave it oversized but now what it allows sighs the final pitch
there we are one two three Sun tell them what you're doing with the holes yeah so
the last thing we do here and is as much fun as all this amazing food joinery is are their
strengths and weaknesses in every particular design yes there is and for longevity and
be the woodworker now said stop it when I was 14 years old how many years you know whatever
okay we're gonna use number twelve by four-inch long screw when we glue this and screw it into
this component of the chair here forever this will give longevity of generations by putting
this one screw in each spot here I mean it's possible up to 30 40 years it just sweetness
the chair may be the glue joint starts separating a little bit with this screw
in there the chair unless it's crushed or broken in and will stay together forever with one screw
so we're using a combination Moluccan style inspired type of table leg or chair leg joinery
and in combination with that we're also pilot holy and we're using the four-inch long by number
twelve wood screws to add almost a lifelong stability to this chair and the Maloof joinery
in itself should be plenty strong enough but you know after 40 or 50 years maybe the glue starts to
weaken a little bit on a chair this single screw in each leg will hold this together a definite
we use a paper towel with water to get the glue off the reason for the water
is just because it doesn't quite smear the glue into the wood grain
as much and it actually helps lift it off just mix your clean up bit easier
today I'm actually filling these holes with dowels made of African blackwood it's really
nice stuff really clean cuts like butter if you got sharp tool of course and I'm
just gonna dab some glue in there and stick this all the way through you can
see that it's a little bit wider than the whole leg so we'll have a little
bit sticking through and the inside on the outside and we're going to kind of flush up
hey guys we're finishing our chairs here we're
using extra thin Osmo and this is what it looks like
okay so we have picked up our upholstered seats from Calgary interior corporation
they did a pretty nice job on these and they did our navy blue Italian Euro soft
leather and now Joe and I are going to fit the two seats onto the black walnut chairs
okay well there we go the three chairs are complete these are our first three chairs
we made like this you know we probably should have done some kind of prototype first but we
didn't we made it out a very expensive wood and very expensive leather but overall they actually
turned out perfectly so we're very pleased the price on these that's one thing I want to talk
about you guys are probably going to ask about the chairs that are shown here with walnut and
leather these are going to be probably around $1,500 Canadian we will have an option of these
chairs that will probably start around $1,000 Canadians so that would be in probably just a
maple or ash frame and then with a fabric back and seat but again let us know what you guys think I'm
really pleased with how they turned out and if you guys liked it too don't forget to leave a
like down in on the video and let us know if you like this new style of start to finish videos
