I build a take on the iconic Samwoong Lee finger joint chair using bent wood lamination, kumiko, and finger joint construction.

Every time I sit down and watch a woodworker with huge workshop, they always say they are not good at it. Can you stop lying and pat yourselves on the back? Because you're doing a great job
-
I love Cam's explanation about chairs in Japan 🤣 Besides - who needs a chair when you can just use the stump from the tree you cut down for the rest of the project!

We usually learn more from our failures than from our successes. Or yours. Thanks for normalizing trying new things that don't always work out as planned. It's a great lesson for makers and for life. And sitdown.

I love to see the "sit down" moment with the chairs!!!!!!
-
It is a pleasure to watch a chair build which, particularly for us older craftsman, is the ultimate in wood work skills. I certainly hope you obtain a large viewing for this project.

Nice job Jonny. Thanks for taking along for the ride 🌞

Great video! Chairs are definitely something only to tackle when you have a clear vision and passion to complete it no matter the cost. Sit down and enjoy your hard work.
-
Wow! Nice work - glad I took a moment out of my day to sit down and watch this process.
-
Brilliant and complex piece of work Jonny. I really appreciate you showing your mishaps. Your kumiko turned out amazing, sorry it didn’t work out. Chuck a cushion on that and I bet Katy will be glad to sit down - especially looking after the wee one 🤗
-
couldn't sit down on this one, it was awesome! love how you show us all the stumbles and new learnings to make things move forward!
-
Bless You ! The Chair looks amazing and your persistence duly noted…
-
I love how this turned out! The cracks look so cool in the light.

Sit down! That is such an incredibly beautiful chair. That style of chair is by far my favorite. I recently inherited a very, very old one that has been in my family for many years and I cannot wait to get it reupholstered.

If you don’t watch Jonny build from start to end, boy sit down and take several seats. Love the chair, beautiful still😊
-
Always great to sit down and watch a good woodworker finish a fine project.
-
Great work. Always love the detail you put in your builds. Sit down
-
Love your projects. Really complex and varied
-
I would absolutely love to sit-down in that chair. Great job.
-
Always good to sit down and watch one of your videos. I really like the design!

I have seen so many table builds that this was a nice. Thank you for this build.
