Stick-chair Sunday Video

Posted on by Lost Art Press

Here is the window for our stick-chair livestream. You can also watch it on Vimeo via this link. After it’s complete, we’ll clean up the livestream, add some show notes and post it for those who couldn’t join us live.

Remember: We are Lost Art Press. Not Lost Art Podcast or Lost Art Videoblog. So it’s gonna be a little agricultural.

Also, commercial content: This is the book we’re discussing: “The Stick Chair Book Early Adopter Digital Package.”

  2. Sharpening the reamer demo was ESPECIALLY helpful to me. Great video production. Thank you!

  3. Great job, mine dropped out when you were just starting the planing stop though.

  4. I understand your reluctance to do these livestreams, but both have been good. On a separate note: money in the budget has been allocated for [redacted].

  5. An hour well spent, so many thanks to Chris, Megan and Bean for a most interesting and enjoyable watch!

    (I think, though, that cat videos are more of a thing on that other site … 😉 )

    Joking aside, Bean seems to be a true natural; his capacity for stealing the show rather brings to mind the late (and much missed) Nigel of Gardener’s World fame.

    And then, a question, but not a stick chair-related one: that center-view holdfast looks like it might be version 2.0?! Is that so? And if “yes”, are my eyes deceiving me, or does it have a bit more of a reach than the 6-5/8″ (or so) of the original version? And also, are you shipping the 2.0 already, or are you still busy depleting the 1.0 stock?

    Cheers,

    Mattias

      1. Thanks, Chris – that’s good to know! I drilled my holdfast holes on Monday (to fit my Crucible 1.0 holdfasts) and am delighted to say they work an absolute treat; based on that, I’ve been thinking that maybe one more would be handy to have to hand. I think I’ll try to pick one (or maybe two) up from Rubank Verktygs AB when I’ll be in Stockholm next month, though, as having cast iron shipped across the Atlantic is not inexpensive …

        Cheers,

        Mattias

  6. Thanks for taking the time to pass along Your Great Wealth Of Knowledge. I Really Appreciate. You Have Taught Me Alot through these last few years. Where Could I Purchase The Steel Reamer From?

  7. Thanks to both of you for a fun video, entertaining as always, and full of great information! Can’t wait for the stick chair book to be published.

  8. What inshave do you use?
    Can you recommend any?
    I see a lot of conflicting advice when it comes to radius, length, and shape (round vs U)

  9. Was crushed. I work in a hospital and am on call. Was really looking forward to watching. Then I was called in 25 minutes before it started. Hope to see a “cleaned up” version soon

  10. Thanks Chris and Megan, Mine was the question about chair height for taller people. Popliteal height is a great thing to know about as well as lumbar height. I’ve built a few of your stick chairs and they are comfortable. Since we are close in height I’m not surprised. I don’t imagine that an inch taller in those two areas will make a tremendous difference but I’m starting tomorrow to see for myself. Thanks for the video.

  11. 27.33ff is hilarious. “I just push it up against a stop, and I jack off to it.”

    1. Glad I’m not the only one with a mind in the gutter! I thought it was pretty funny also. However, I will be looking for another method – my old wrists will not take kindly to working a jack plane one-handed like that!

  14. Hello! Nice to hear and see you both! You have really nice color voices, both of you. I really enjoyed your “agricultural” video!

  16. The section on using and sharpening reamers was quite useful for me.
    Thanks for your efforts.

  17. This was great, thanks. I don’t know who advised you that we don’t have metal coat hangers up North here – we certainly do. They’re great for poking a hole in your bag of milk…
