- I've been designing this chair for 6 months and it is finally time to build. I share the prototyping process as well as how I landed on the build decisions I did.

As a doctorate of audiology student and a fellow woodworker, it makes me so happy to see that you are starting to take hearing conservation seriously! Thanks for mentioning the importance of this and leading by example!
It's very important! If I can't hear what my son is saying to me then I don't really care about much else.
I know you've put so much work into the video, editing it yourself and all, and it shows a lot more of your personality. Great job! The chairs turned out killer as well. Rock on.
Thanks man! I enjoyed making this a lot!
Enjoyed seeing the process and love the design 👍🏼 Good work Mike!
Thank you brother!
I loved the Walnut chair. The contrasting grain accentuated those unique outer lines bringing the design up another level. It made me wonder what it would be like in contrasting woods against the skirting. SO Zen.
That would be interesting for sure!
Chair turned out great and this is another fantastic video. Really enjoyed you sharing the design process. Please keep the build videos coming.
Thank you and I will for sure man!
25:14 I made a similar mistake on a project and fixed it the same way. However, I did it in reverse order. I scanned a piece of scrap that had a knot, traced the outline on-machine then routed out an inlay. Then increased the offset (to account for the bit) and routed out the exact shape on the project piece. It fit perfectly and you'd never know it wasn't a natural knot
That's smart!
Chair came out soo good and loved the insight to the design process.
Appreciate you man!
Killer design, Mike. 👏👏 Great recovery from the error too!
Thanks homie!
Another banger. Love the final product. Great work!
Thanks buddy!
Soooo satisfying watching those mortis and tenons fit together perfectly 🤙 beautiful work.
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful piece~! I really like the seat slat design...as well as the rest of it. Great work~!
Thank you very much!
Chair looks great . Great video as always
Thank you, sir!
Great video i was looking forward to this one after watching all the storys about it
Thanks for watching!
Great video, not seen yours before but will check out your other ones. A world away from my very much diy approach, but your skill is inspiring. On the chair width question, and related questions around ergonomics, have you read Chris Schwartz's The Stick Chair? It has a wealth of practical information on exactly these sort of questions, drawing on historical record and Chris's own experience as a maker. I believe the PDF is available on his site free, though the book is well worth the price.
I have that book! I need to read it for sure!
Nice job on the chair also on the filming!! I really like it
Thank you! It's my first time doing a video without my camera guy. Very nervous!
Nice work. Came out great
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video!! Love the way you describe exactly what your doing in what your building. Is there any chance now or in the future you would release the Cnc files to the chair build? Keep making great videos!!
I think I will!
Nice looking chair! 👍🏻 I sure hope you sell the templates! Oh… I just subscribed to! Thank you for sharing your work!
Thanks for the sub! I think I will be getting the templates up!
Good point.
I know right!
Another Coffey Custom Banger of a build. I felt that “F***” moment in my soul. If you’re anything like me, I’m sure you had to fight the urge to throw the chair across the room after that.
Hit me all the way down to my plums! Brian thought I was going to throw it for sure.
I think we all have the "WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SO COMPLEX" moments in Woodworking. I know I have had one or many. LoL.
Man I love the challenge!
I wanted to see more of the chair in the outro! The main shot talking about them they were out of focus!
I'll make sure to share more finished pics in the future.
It’s clear in the final build how much time you spent thinking about all the little details
Thank you! This chair means a lot to me for sure
Great video and really enjoyed the process.
Couple of thoughts. You mentioned about making the chair (and hence the seat) only 17 inches wide. Did you stick with that? I think that may be a little narrow for the average behind.
You probably won’t be doing much shaping by hand if you’re using the cnc to do most of the shaping (which is sweet), but instead of the cutting disks, would a heavy cut with a spokeshave or even slightly curved drawknife/scorp be just as quick with less dust?
I’m just a CZcams commenter, so my opinion isn’t worth a whole lot. I really do like the chair and build, and as some others mentioned would definitely be interested in potential files for the cnc. I’m also interested in some more details on how you cut the crest rail on the cnc (because I don’t have a large enough bandsaw rough out the shape)
Yeah they might be too narrow. Going to get them out to more people to test.
A spoke shave was used for cleanup but I'd probably buy a draw shave or an inshave.
I'm thinking of doing another video just showing the machining process.
Everyone makes mistakes but the chair looks awesome
It happens for sure!
Nice work! Just a thought but if you used loose tennon on the stretcher, put it tight on the leg and loose on the stretcher, but did a through mortise on the leg and used a walnut domino then the joinery would match the rest while achieving the same result? Just a thought as design is always personal. Great work.
That would definitely be an option! I think anymore through tenons and it would be distracting though. Just my opinion.
Great looking piece like always. Any chance you sell the cnc files for this chair in the future? Would love to make some the “cheating” way 😂
Still thinking about whether I want to sell this design at all.
on the pantorouter, "the tenon is justified to" said side. "Justified" huh. never heard it said like that. Seems to make sense. Did you hear that somewhere or just made it up?
I believe I made it up? Not sure.
@@CoffeyCustomBuilds lol! Own it! It will stick.
You talked about CAD being helpful for furniture design, but then went through design iterations that could've easily been visualized with CAD (i.e. the chair back angle). Why go through physical implementation for this feature?
Like I said in the video, things in CAD just don't look the same in reality. For me, I need to see the piece in person to make my final design decisions. Also, not everyone is used to or has access to cad.
Per usual, the finished product is absurdly rad and I learned quite a bit. But here’s the real question: in a world where a Pantorouter and a Domino cost the same amount, should an aspiring pro-sumer furniture-making hobbyist buy the former or the latter?
Thanks so much! What are you planning on making? (As of now)
@@CoffeyCustomBuilds I’ve done a smattering of tables and other pieces over the last couple years, but I feel like chairs/desks are the next step. I love both MCM and Craftsman, but I’m also not planning on woodworking becoming my full-time job. The dream is to have a shop where I can build my (patient) wife and loved ones whatever they want whenever it comes up.
That is a fantastic plan!
@@CoffeyCustomBuilds So Pantorouter? Haha. I appreciate I’ve set you up with an impossible question. I promise you have zero liability should I buy either.
Are you selling template files or Cnc files for this chair?
I'm trying to decide on that. I believe I will.
Good idea. My wife really likes the chair and wants me to make a set of 6. Going to use cherry.
Size was not the issue. I believe the issue is that the chair is squarish. All my chairs taper towards the back.
That's cool
Enjoyed watching you go through the process! I love that walnut one.
Thanks man! It's so pretty!
