Chris. You are literally the biggest inspiration to me as a beginning woodworker. I am 16 and I am amazed at how innovative you are. All the sketches and designs are so impressive and it seems like you have a vision that just comes to you and it always ends up looking incredible. As I develop my website and skills, I always look to you first. Your website is so clean and professional looking and when I make mine, I hope it looks even close to as good as yours. Did you work as an architect or with interior design in some way before fully switching to woodworking? It seems like you always have a new idea on how to do something better or put your own spin on it. Is it a creative process or does it just come to you? In a way it’s almost discouraging because your designs always look so modern and sleek and I don’t have ideas that look that cool. I also don’t have the equipment to produce what I draw most of the time. If you could offer any advice or maybe do a video on how you think of or create designs, it would be appreciated more than you could ever know. Or something relating to midcentury-modern Vs. modern Vs. farmhouse modern, as I am struggling to wrap my head around the nuances of what makes furniture fit into a style. Do you start by saying you want to make a “midcentury modern” item and then design it? Or do you design it first and classify it later. Thank you so so so much for (hopefully) reading this, and maybe even responding.

I think it's awesome that you provide so many options with these plans. Gives somebody the opportunity to really customize for their own needs and tools. Thanks for sharing!

I think that this design is timeless. It has mid-century DNA.

I make lowback maloof dining chairs by hand and they are beautiful and comfortable. I made my own templates, modified them, and now make the legs and arms from 1 piece of mahogany 22" wide. You guys can do it!

I did a cabinet makers course in 1994 as part of my resettlement from the army and have worked as a carpenter ever since. I have made many many stools and have repaired many many chairs but still have never made a chair from scratch. You are right it is very scary. Lately I have been designing a chair as I need a set for my dining table, time to man-up and make a chair finally.

woah my two worlds coming together, i've been using field notes for years (even went to hq in chicago) and also been watching you for years. my mind is blown

Lovely piece of furniture as always. However, we have dining chairs where the rear legs stick out like yours. The number of times we and visitors have tripped over those legs is legion. The brain sees the back of the chair but doesn't expect the legs to stick out that far. Something to consider for future projects.

These intros are so legit! You should be a part of the writing team for the office or parks and rec, if they ever have another season lol. Definitely funniest intros in the woodworking community! Good job Chris and Shaun

Great content, great skills, great video editing. BUT, I think it needs 1440p. I mean it deserves it.

[aberba]

I'm definitely going to try building something similar
