You had me at "OK".
I think this will be a really good starter chair for my daughter.
Thank you, Curtis.
Thanks Curtis
I’ve been hoping you’d do this chair!! Thanks Curtis!

Glad to see this. I've wanted to build one since seeing them at Greenwood Fest. Thanks, Curtis!
Thank you sir for the new series. It is a pleasure watching you and i always learn a lot.
Thank you again.
and a great looking chair to boot!
Hi Curtis. I'm getting up in the years and have made several chairs over the years. I've been watching your videos for awhile now and getting more and more interested in trying my hand at some of the same techniques, drawknives, etc. I fully understand the concepts of poverty and having to learn things few people ever try. Most of what I've learned over the years have been from necessity. I've often been too broke to afford even the most rudimentary tools, but we do get there eventually. Now I have a full shop, but still want to get back to the basic tools and skills. Heck, I never know when poverty might strike again and I might need these skills. I never take good fortune for granted. It can dry up very quickly and I've had to learn that lesson many times.
Thanks for the comment and good luck when you get around to trying one.
I'm almost done building my shave horse. Now I know what I'll build on it first!
Daaaay 1! Look forward to this!
Love this Curtis. You could always tell folk to make a wedge with the axe? I love wooden wedges. You have friends of mine, Jane and Peter heading over to make one later in the year. Rob.
Looks like fun.
Good stuff, cheers.
How long should the tree sit outside before you use it for a chair?
pretty much ANY hobby CAN be expensive if you're the type that wants to buy all the gadgets and gizmos a'plenty. but woodworking has been around for many centuries and they never had Gripper pushblocks and double sided sticky tape... yet they managed. people seem to be under the mistaken impression that expensive tools make a good woodworker. they don't. they can help a crappy woodworker be faster. something like this should be a prereq in high school shop classes. make SOMETHING by hand from start to finish. has to be useful, has to be durable. should be beautiful. cost is always a logical and socially acceptable excuse people use to avoid actually doing something.
