Power Carving a Sam Maloof Style Guitar Stool
In this months video we're power Carving wood in Sam Maloof Guitar Stool. As far as I know Sam Maloof never actually carved a Guitar stool, but if he did, this would be pretty close, so this is in more of the Sam Maloof style.
You can purchase templates for this stool and build it for yourself from Canadian Woodworks.

Makes me want to touch it which is the ultimate complement. Rich materials + fine tools + courage = great result.

Thanks Randy that means a lot 🥲
This is my favorite stool besides the one the Michael Alm built with paracord. My Brother is an amazing guitarist and plays a lot for his church so this may become his Xmas present this year! Love the joinery btw

That’s an amazing stool. Also, you’re shop is complete! For the tight angles I would think the ROtex90 would be perfect. For the larger surfaces, I see how you would want the 150.

great vid. I thought it might be one of Scott Morrison's Maloof inspired tea chairs - it is very similar. I found it interesting that you thought the festool 150 would be a better sander for this project. I am building a chair like this now, and was considering the 90 like you have instead of the 150 already in my shop!

Hi, Beautiful work, could you please tell me the name of this Joint?
@GopherWoodshop
Жыл бұрын
Hi Jon, I just know it as the Sam Maloof joint, but its basically a rabbit cut into the leg and a tongue of the exact same size cut into the chair seat, it's incredibly strong which is what makes it perfect for a chair, then you carve the excess material and smooth it out. 👍
Ive watch a couple vids and wonder why the 3/4” round over was done after the leg dados?

Hey Edad, great question, I did it that way because I needed a square reference surface to cut the dados first.

That’s interesting as one woodworkers too much glue is another’s too little glue perhaps you’d like to define what you would consider to be the perfect Goldie Locks quantity for your liking and I’ll be sure to meter just the right amount in my next video for your glue viewing pleasure.
