I build a take on the iconic Samwoong Lee finger joint chair using bent wood lamination, kumiko, and finger joint construction.

Every time I sit down and watch a woodworker with huge workshop, they always say they are not good at it. Can you stop lying and pat yourselves on the back? Because you're doing a great job
-
I love Cam's explanation about chairs in Japan 🤣 Besides - who needs a chair when you can just use the stump from the tree you cut down for the rest of the project!
-
It is a pleasure to watch a chair build which, particularly for us older craftsman, is the ultimate in wood work skills. I certainly hope you obtain a large viewing for this project.
-
I love to see the "sit down" moment with the chairs!!!!!!
-
We usually learn more from our failures than from our successes. Or yours. Thanks for normalizing trying new things that don't always work out as planned. It's a great lesson for makers and for life. And sitdown.

If you don’t watch Jonny build from start to end, boy sit down and take several seats. Love the chair, beautiful still😊
-
Brilliant and complex piece of work Jonny. I really appreciate you showing your mishaps. Your kumiko turned out amazing, sorry it didn’t work out. Chuck a cushion on that and I bet Katy will be glad to sit down - especially looking after the wee one 🤗
-
Great video! Chairs are definitely something only to tackle when you have a clear vision and passion to complete it no matter the cost. Sit down and enjoy your hard work.
-
I would absolutely love to sit-down in that chair. Great job.
-
Nice job Jonny. Thanks for taking along for the ride 🌞
-
It’s easy to sit down when your chair is ,are into a masterpiece of art. Good work.
-
I was told to “sit down” so much as a kid… Look, tell the H8ers to pound wet sand! I love the craftsmanship you put into each build!
-
Sit down all the way from South Africa. I'm a fan.
-
Enjoyed sitting down to watch this! Great job!
-
Sit Down.... Late but I enjoy seeing the failures and fixes we all make.... Thanks so much for doing what you do
-
I love to sit down and watch these videos. I don't think I'll ever build a chair, but I can still learn something from this.
-
I love how this turned out! The cracks look so cool in the light.
-
"Sit down" I always watch the videos until the end and skipping the end doesn't show you all the mess ups, learning points that you go through while making what ever make. So thank you for your videos I appreciate it
-
A real sitdown comedian :) Honestly, this was a very entertaining, and educating video that just had to be watched to the very end. Thank you!
-
Wow! Nice work - glad I took a moment out of my day to sit down and watch this process.
