- In this months video we're power Carving wood in Sam Maloof Guitar Stool. As far as I know Sam Maloof never actually carved a Guitar stool, but if he did, this would be pretty close, so this is in more of the Sam Maloof style.
You can purchase templates for this stool and build it for yourself from Canadian Woodworks.

Makes me want to touch it which is the ultimate complement. Rich materials + fine tools + courage = great result.
Thanks Randy that means a lot 🥲
This is my favorite stool besides the one the Michael Alm built with paracord. My Brother is an amazing guitarist and plays a lot for his church so this may become his Xmas present this year! Love the joinery btw
Thanks so much.
Very very good execution! And the finished product is beautiful!
Thanks so much Diego, I’m so happy you enjoyed it.
Unbelievably beautiful
The details are gorgeous
Thanks for this amazing video
Glad you liked it
Followed your link from SMC. Beautiful wood, great craftsmanship. I think Sam would approve.
Thanks Jon, that means a lot 🥲
Finally got a chance to watch the entire video, more enjoyable then Sunday brunch!
Totally agree lol 😂
I have been very intimidated of chair building. Thank you for helping me face my fears.
You can do it!
@@GopherWoodshop I can’t. I don’t have any tools.
@@pr0meth1um Ahh I see your problem, use a sheet of sandpaper, it might take you a little longer, but hay it's the joy of building something with your hands.
Finishing is always fun 😂. It’s actually my favorite part of any project. Looks amazing!! I see your shop has improved greatly from the past few years.
Hey buddy, thanks for the compliment, yeah, it’s in a perpetual state of change, trying to be more as efficient as possible, shop-time is always premium time. Question, what do you all do to maximize your time in your shop?
You do beautiful work.

That is beautiful wood. I need to start on my Maloof style guitar stool. But first a bed for the new grandson.

Beautiful beautiful piece.

Excellent work Mike! Really enjoyed watching your process on this!
Thank you so much, you’ve made my day.☺️

Greetings from the low countries......nice work
Thank you
Beautiful work. Well done
Thank you Kim
Fantastic work, and great edit on the video!
Dude! that means a lot coming from you. Thanks 🙏
Now that is nice work.
That looks awesome! Definitely want to have a go at power carving one day soon 👍
Thanks Man, can’t wait to see your results?
Beautiful work! Love it!
Thank you😄
great vid. I thought it might be one of Scott Morrison's Maloof inspired tea chairs - it is very similar. I found it interesting that you thought the festool 150 would be a better sander for this project. I am building a chair like this now, and was considering the 90 like you have instead of the 150 already in my shop!
Interesting!
Great job! From korea
감사합니다
Thank you, I’m heading to Korea this month.
Beautiful build! And an excuse to do some power carving!
Lol thank you sir
Nice job Michael. Makes me want to get a Sawstop. Enjoyed flying with you yesterday.
Thanks. you too buddy
Beautiful build and video.... Now when the wife says she really needs a dozen chairs for large gatherings....
Lol, Thanks Tom,
Awesome WoodWork !!! Your channel is very good and I met you through Instagram !!! Thank’s for sharing !!!
The
Thanks, sorry for the late reply, just saw your comment.
Just found your channel hope to see more content soon ? Amazing talent mate 🙏
Cheers👍
Really nice work! You had my cringing when I saw all that excess glue. 😅😅😅😅
Lol, yup I went a little overboard on the glue for sure.
@@GopherWoodshop Hey it turned out awesome!
@@webcrawler3332 Thank you 😊
Smooth!
Thanks Stacey
HELLO FRED THE CAT!
Perfect!
Thank you 😃
That’s an amazing stool. Also, you’re shop is complete! For the tight angles I would think the ROtex90 would be perfect. For the larger surfaces, I see how you would want the 150.
Thank you, I do love my shop but I enjoy making it better, lol
Amazing!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Pretty fantastic work, man... It turned out amazing! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! Cats included! 🖖😊
(BTW, I have 3 cats here. 😬)
Thank you, never had a cat before, but Fred's a good one.
@@GopherWoodshop Well, after more than a decade that I have cats all I can tell you is that there aren't 2 cats with identical personalities. Each and every one of them is unique. And once they like anyone they're always going to be around. 😊
One of my cats behaves like a dog with my mother! 😂
@@MCsCreations LOL
ITS SOOO AMSING!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Emily, your AMSING to notice it.😂
That quantity of walnut in my country would bankrupt me!
Luckily the wood was free from my mother in law.
Belo trabalho. Parabéns.
muito obrigado
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Where did you find the plans for the stool?
Hey Mike, I listed them in the description. They are from Canadian Woodworks’s. You can look them up on the Internet. Best of luck with your new project.
Hi, Beautiful work, could you please tell me the name of this Joint?
Hi Jon,
I just know it as the Sam Maloof joint, but its basically a rabbit cut into the leg and a tongue of the exact same size cut into the chair seat, it's incredibly strong which is what makes it perfect for a chair, then you carve the excess material and smooth it out. 👍
Great video and nice work on your stool! After watching this, I ordered a set of plans to try my own. How thick was the material that you used for the seat? 8/4?
Thanks Man. Yes 2” thick walnut, it’s still looking great an I love the Rubio finish, good luck, hit me up on IG if you need any help.
Hi 👋, great job, did you ever make the chairs, Phil from the moulin France.
Hi Phil from France. Not yet! But I’m about Halfway finished on the prototype, unfortunately my day job gets in the way of my woodworking, lol I hope to have a build video out before the end of the year, but then I’ve said that before and been wrong.
Can you please, write exactly the names of the three tools electric machines u used please? thank you
Sure, i'd be happy to. Are you referring to the carving and sanding tools or the bigger machinery?
Ive watch a couple vids and wonder why the 3/4” round over was done after the leg dados?
Hey Edad, great question, I did it that way because I needed a square reference surface to cut the dados first.
Daughters cat? 🤨
You said it Bro
Way too much glue.
That’s interesting as one woodworkers too much glue is another’s too little glue perhaps you’d like to define what you would consider to be the perfect Goldie Locks quantity for your liking and I’ll be sure to meter just the right amount in my next video for your glue viewing pleasure.
Stupid camera wobble spoils a good video
Not sure which part of the video your referring to? But thanks for your comment anyway.
Beautiful!
Thank you so much.
Stool looks nice but Sam Maloof pieces ALWAYS have screws to support those joints covered with ebony plugs. Watch him at his drill press in his build videos. Your stool may just fall apart over time...
Actually, these joints are so tight, that adding a screw would have zero effect on the strength. The leg would break before the joint. I’ve only seen Maloof add screws through the crest rails.
