I like how you provide alternate methods and explain why you're doing things. The "why" is much more interesting than the "what".

[boysakovlogs]

Your step by step is unmatched! YouTube should use your videos as the example for other DIY channels because this made me think I could build anything. Great content and beautiful family. Brilliant - a stylish design that is also simple to make. As for making cushions I suspect you will be very good at it. Please keep these lovely ideas coming. 👍👍

Thank you. So clearly explained. As a beginner (with some minimal experience with woodworking) I just cleared out my shed so I have a place to work. These chairs are exactly what I want to make. Even my husband was impressed!

For those of you who live in places where it rains a lot: Move the support piece that runs parallel to the arm rest up a bit so that piece isn’t sitting in water. This is an awesome chair!

I appreciate how you show alternative ways to a process.

[edwinbarreto]

You provided multiple methods for cutting! Excellent and very practical instruction. Brilliant workflow. Thank you

"Inexpensive lumber" - good days :)

[gc]

Ohhhh the “friend” in much earlier projects becomes the Mom. We love your videos !

[hirschmj]

Love the design, and I love that you're making the effort to explain how you could do this with less tools. Even a hand saw, a hand drill, and some screws would get the whole thing together. Nice video!

[lukefitt]

Awesome looking chair! I like how you showed another way of cutting the joints to help out those who may not have a table saw. I like the color as well

[ddk]

I love how you show how to build it using different methods for those that don't have the expensive gear. Great job.

[andydiaz]

Great job! Just showed my wife, now I gotta make 2 of them.

[Erolinna]

Wow this is a great tutorial! I’m just getting in to building garden beds, benches, etc. so I do not have all the woodworking tools of a professional shop so your suggestions on how to modify the plans to use what you have is GREATLY appreciated.

[billypoe]

Thank you for sharing your family and your skills.

[decision]

Thank you for offering your plans for free. That raises you above the other diy-ers. Most people here either want to make stuff thereselves or don't have enough money to just buy the furniture. You are offering the solution for both those groups, that suits you. Keep up the outstanding work! You get enough money from sponsors/advertisements & maybe patreon?

Cheers brother, now someone with a budget can suprise his kids too by making them a gift!

[jeahmae]

Am I the only one who thinks this man's wife is freakin' lucky to have such creative man? 😍

I'm clearly a fan of his works lol

[TJay]

Your step by step is unmatched! YouTube should use your videos as the example for other DIY channels because this made me think I could build anything. Lol great content and beautiful family.

[FOMI]

To make it higher you could add four 4x4 to the legs , this way you will get the needed hight and keep the legs away from moisture and wet ground since it's an outdoor chair.

[carlbarrs]

So simple, so functionable. You are blessed with a beautiful family.

[sophie]

I love that you give options, i always run into DIY's with people with these crazy tools that i don't have, i appreciate the video and will definitely try
