love how eden is so supportive and just so honest straight to the point lol everyone needs someone like her

Love the progression: Please don't sue me---> Please don't sue me(again)---> They can't sue me.

You should write some code that auto updates the title of this to the current highest bid every time it changes!

FYI, for future reference, if you want to get a soft things like rope to go through a long hole, don't push it. Pull it. Use a piece of solid core wire, push that through the hole, have a hook on the end, attach your rope and then pull it back through.

Or even just a much thinner rope like dental floss, easier to get through the solid hole, to then pull the thicker rope through.

Helped my mom out by threading a cluple hundred pull strings on laundry bags for the NHS a few years ago. A copper wire made it so much easier. Though with fabric you still have the issue of getting past pleats in the fabric.

I understand the idea of impact, but impact doesn't mean unfinished. I think there was definitely some things you could have done to finish up this chair, especially after eden mentioned the hanging triangle piece hit her face as she sat down. Tying up and neatenting the rope a bit, making sure the hanging triangles hung only to the sides or hung higher. I have no doubt that you'll sell this chair, but I'm not sure how long the buyer will want to use it before it takes more energy to sit in the chair than the person has. Impact is important but so is usability.

It's basically a non-stretch fabric. When you use fabric to make anything form-fitting, you don't just drape a flat sheet around the form, you assemble it from shaped panels connected at their edges.

Hi Morley, I think the chair could retain the back if you use a wider C shape beam to support the entire structure instead of a long straight beam, to achieve that chair like look and be able to lie back on it

Rip wizard staff. You’re magical in our hearts

[rwizard]

I enjoy your works, even though my tastes are more traditional. Keep it up. One suggestion: As someone who grew up on the water, where knots are an important part of daily life, the name of the knot is pronounced bow (like beau) lynn (not line) so if you think beau-lynn you'll be good. Lots of old pronunciations on the water, gunwale is pronounced gunnel and so forth. Next week on "knots so funny" we'll talk about boom-vangs and Plimsoll lines - neither of which are knots ; ). Take care.

22:40 currently at $5, 800 about 5 hours after posting, I expected to see well over the $1500 he said, but I definitely think it's possible he might actually see that "impossible" $10k now. The people buying this type of thing aren't considering cost, rather how much they want it.

[nastyscaper]

Morley, a bidding war doesn’t reflect the intrinsic value of the chair itself. At this point, you're a Youtuber people are excited to watch, and what they'll be REALLY bidding on is YOUR work. It’s not about how much the chair is worth—it’s about how much a Morley chair is worth at this point. People will want to own something you’ve created, like buying art. The bidding reflects your value as a creator, not just the chair’s. Congrats on making it ! ;)

Man after all the effort I was hoping for something not as hideous. Love the dedication and effort put into the video

[PabloEdvardo]

21:55 I like how the auction ends in the past. You've just betrayed your time-traveler secret!

[dude]

Her "oh?!?" reaction on turning around was honestly the best summary of this end result. Hitting your head on debris to get into the chair, masses of unruly tangling rope hanging off the sides, and no work on tension variance to support the sitter where needed. And because of removing that section instead of altering the tension in the back, you dramatically drop the supportive strength of the rope and put more stress on the 3d prints.

[Garage]

Wow I really love how the "fabric" bunched up at the bottom when you first hung the chair. Granted, doesn't look comfy, but it almost looks like an afghan blanket thrown onto a table that naturally wrinkled or something. Really cool final product!

[NfIsTheBestOpening]

morley will be cursed forever for breaking the wizard staff.

[wheeldealrepeat]

Impressively hideous results. I hate it but I am continually astonished by your abilities. Keep going!

[rayrodriguez]

If you want it to wrinkle less, you could selectively remove pieces from the grid. If you assemble 7 or more of the pieces around a central point and then connect the ends, forming a loop, they'll be forced into a pringle/saddle shape. If you assemble 5 or fewer into a loop, they'll make a bowl/cone. By stitching together flat sections with sections with this inherent curvature, you can make any shape that you want, though I'm guessing it'd be a lot harder to assemble.

RIP the wizard staff. You were bendier then all of us 🫡🫡🫡
