If anybody is looking for something more CAD than Illustrator, but less of a commitment than Fusion 360, take a look at this browser-based 2D design tool that I'm working on with 3 folks... https://cuttle.xyz ... email me at forrest at that domain for an invite. 😉

One of my dreams is to appear in a youtube rewind!

John Harbaugh

You’re already out of this world. 🙂

Adam Schumacher

With apologies for the terrible photoshop job... https://imgur.com/a/i5b7VaJ

Franziska

Yes, yes and yes to everything in your vision. AND the street cred!

Damien Tonkin

Have you considered applying to be a reserve astronaut with European Space Agency? They've opened applications and I think you meet most of the requirements asside from the master's degree. Also I like that they've opened applications to people with disabilities, I'm not personally inclined and I'm not an EU citizen but I like that space is becoming more accessible.

Sam Patterson

Want! Our dog wants to share our chairs while we are WFH. A bit more ergonomic for the human side and we’d have new office chairs ;)

Sons of Lorgar

Yeah, was the notches too narrow or too few

Sons of Lorgar

Now that's an idea that might sell, I'm thinking magnetized bit holders of acrylic or brass or coloured aluminium with etched/sunken head icons on the front for each bit.

Ray Wood

How about a simpler version for sitting beside the bed to help little and older pets get up on a tall bed? Maybe narrower with just the stairs and a little sleeping nook for the critters. I'd buy that!

Jacob

Let's start our own space program! I left you a message on Patreon to see if you had time to be my "Astronaut Consultant" - a video I am working on for my channel (Venture City) :D

Matt

Yeeetch queen!

On the bright side, you didn't have to print a shirt with a bajillion names in .05 point font. Though, at the size, I would've hoped for Comic Sans just for the joke. The chair looks damn good and the video was even better. 👍🏼

Viniter

I'm sure you're going to have a lot of success with the chair! If I know anything about Swedes, it's that you have a knack for making furniture.

jamey l johnson

do.not.compromise... on the very cool glasses.

Jennifer Thompson

Yetch was the right move!

Matt Schwoebel

Glad you went with Yetch as the brand. Did you move away from the paintbrush hand as a symbol? Please.

SnazzyAI

You had me at very cool glasses.

Matt Schwoebel

All great.

Karen Kingsbury

I loved the video! Good for you and Scraps! I could see this work for my cat too.

Pete Ashton

FYI, during the "let's fuck up the prototype" montage, I was convinced the necklace was a stylish magnetic drill bit storage device for easy access. And now I want one.

Brooks Moses

Sounds like an excellent vision to work towards! And I think you should definitely have a set of excellent and very cool safety glasses. No reason to have just boring ones.

Shahid bellamy

Ehehe you could build a awesome space fort

Tree Carcass Mangler

Yeah that plastic coyote has a name but I can't recall it now...

Henrik Muskos

Synd på rymd.😳 ... Men attans trevlig stol!😊 Själva formgivningen med tappningen i räcke och valet av träbearbetning ser ju riktigt småputtrigt ut. Förstår att den vinner gillande! 😃 Klart du skall ha coola glasögon!😁😎

Jeff

Love love love it! How about casters and some height adjustment for the seat? Maybe that’s getting too involved... and w00t! The YETCH store!

U Can Unlearn Guitar

how about a built-in dog bed underneath your laptop EMF blocker. Sitting up is so 2019.

Tree Carcass Mangler

Congratulations on the success of the project! Congratulations on the pending launch of the Yetch store! ("Yetchworks"?) WilI your employees be called Yetchies? Sounds reasonable but I am not good at naming things either...

Dan Cowger

Simone!! I subscribed to you on Patreon to support you in all your endeavours, so don't worry if you neglect this page, I will still support you! Also, super excited about the YETCH store!

Amy Hua

This really could change the world 🐶🐾🙌We need it!

Bradley Mott

I believe it was Edison who said he had discovered thousands of ways *not* to build the light bulb. Chalk this space adventure up in the "how not to get to space" column... and keep at it. Can't wait to hear you're out amongst the stars after inventing a way to get there. :) And... I don't have dogs, but I liked the chair. :)

Joe Langley

I've made curved parts like you did for the chair. I felt the splintering in my soul. Also felt the shrug-and-hammer-on.

Jassen Bowman

Is that a.... coyote with a saddle???

Stephanie Mayer

It was so much fun watching TWO new videos and I think the chair might become a bestseller! Love watching you create!

Edgar Ernst

So is "Yetch" established as the name for your product company? Would be great. I also hope that you will continue to give insights on Youtube or Patreon when your dream comes true.

Biddy Fisher

So sorry to hear about the space competition but at least you have time to develop a Scraps friendly space chair/suit to take her with you next time!

Noah Jay

Yes, I would buy the chair (or should I say Shair? Actually...that seems more like a hair product)! Absolutely needs the ergonomics worked out, lol. Adjustable footrest height and lumbar that isn't set in place (I am short and other people are tall, yet chairs with built in lumbar shapes are in the same spot...why??) would make it worth buying so I can spend my 8 hours at a PC next to my cat.

J-Mo

Oh, one more thought. What do you think about shop chairs on casters? My only issue with them is that if you want to be stationary....... they SUCK! How about a shop chair (with our without pet compatibility) with casters where you can lock all the casters simultaneously with a conveniently places hand crank? Thoughts?

Simone Giertz

I've been calling it the Companion Chair! Not a thought-through name though, just the one that stuck.

Simone Giertz

I did submit a DearMoon application...

RyokiF

I am excited to purchase two of these chairs from you. My husbands wants one too, but he would prefer it to still be able to have all the adjustments that his current office chair has. We've needed this chair for our cats for years! They always want to be on our laps or keyboards, but there's never any room there. I wish I had one of these before my 16-year-old cat passed. She couldn't jump up high anymore and always wanted to be next to me. This is a great invention! Please let us shower you in money for inventing it and making it for us! <3

Dave Williams

Loved the video! Sorry you are not getting a free ride to space. That would have been awesome. There is still Dear Moon though? :)

Brian Liebeg

Thank you for the updates Simone. I love the genuine pride and enjoyment you get from your projects.

Dave Treadwell

Also, there had better be a store section for Commander Scraps merch!

Stephen Hager

The chair turned out great. Totally rooting for you to make a product line out of it!

Hanz Da Silva

Awesome job on the chair...dog love seat?? Does it have an official name yet? Outside of chair, of course.

Dave Treadwell

Sorry to hear about the space trip :( Next time eh! For us folks over in the UK, getting ANYTHING from abroad is a nightmare thanks to brexit and changes to how VAT is collected - I hope *something* from the store can be shipped to us! I’d love to see pins/patches (already have the patch you sent us a few years ago) avaliable - and tees (as there are services that will print and ship the tees in the buyers location which helps a BUNCH)

Jan Stodt

Awesome video Simone! My mom wants one for her cat. Sad to hear that you didn’t had it to space, but to be completely honest with you, I now can sleep well again after knowing that you will not get lost in space (no hard feelings Elon, you are awesome). Would have miss you so much 😊
