ABOUT THIS VIDEO
I decided to make a special piece of furniture for a special person using the trashiest wood. I got a lot of design input from the customer on this one, and had a lot of fun figuring out how to do it all. I even took a crack at upholstery.

Cutest "customer" ever! And a great chair design, too.
-
As a seamstress/woodworker/crafter- I’m delighted to see that you used decent scissors to cut your fabric. I will also be stealing your bandsaw foam cutting method from now on instead of my electric knife approach. For any future iterations consider pool noodles to thread onto your octagon structure and then glue the sheet foam to the noodle as it will stick easier. LOVE the end result!
-
Love all the moons. My immediate thought with the end caps was that you could’ve done a lunar progression with light and dark shapes across them (similar to PRS pearl dots). BONUS MOONS!
-
You must really like this customer.
-
Not only is the build awesome, you totally nailed the soundtrack. And not just because of the space/moon motif. Synthwave/retrowave just works well as "work music," regardless of "genre."
-
Nothing beats a super demanding (+cutest) customer's biggest smile! But, you know, you put way too much love on this one!
-
The little guy feels safe in your arms answering your questions in anyway that he wants. That makes you a great Dad, young man. Space age Doo-Doo Chair! To the Moon and beyond!
-
I'm a sim racer and love woodworking. I am toying with the idea of creating my own custom sim racing rig. Seeing the Moon Chair gave me some ideas of how I want it to look.
-
Thanks for letting us meet Master Boyd,
-
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! What a good dad you are. He will remember this well into his adulthood, I am sure.
-
What a cute and smart young lil man you have there Shaun. Love the interaction between you both on his first furniture design collaboration. Can’t wait to see your next collaboration together. How precious and special!
-
The fact that this is made from a bunch of leftovers from your past projects is really kind of cool for you both to have. awesome build.
-
Came for the chair, left admiring that musical transition around 243 seconds which was an absolute masterpiece of editing.
-
I watched this just to hear you little man’s reaction ! What a great little man, Dad ! You’re doing a great job ! God bless U & yours !

I’m a furniture maker but for my main job I’m a CAD designer/CNC operator that received inadequate training and I had to learn tons on the fly. A lot of where I’m at now came from using the machinery constantly and learning what worked and didn’t work by seeing what mistakes happened repeatedly and what the commonality was with them. There is so much to learn that is unique to CNC operation (chip load, feed and speeds, etc) and it basically takes a ton of time to get good at it, but it can be done.
-
So cute. This will be a story he tells his kids(if he has them) and say "man, my dad made me a badass rocking chair when I was a kid". Such a cool project for him!
-
So much mutual love, trust, and fun. Very precious. 🥰 This Doo-doo Moon chair really rocks.
-
Brings back memories of making small furniture for my young daughters. Thanks.
-
Thanks for sharing that special customer with us. Adorable. Cool chair too.😊
