    Side Chair construction tip

    Upon making some dining room chairs, I was in a dilemma about how to machine the back leg. The back leg and back-rest were cut as one unit on a bandsaw (see photos). I had no problem sanding the kerf-marks on a stationary belt sander, but the joint where the seat attaches became a problem. I...

    In early November I started a Potty chair for my grandson. It was a simple plan and the construction should have been easy. I was going to give it to him when they all visited on thanksgiving. Didn't finish in time:BangHead: So then I decided for his birthday. Dec 26th -...

    First attempt at a Rocking Chair

    After a very long time, I completed my first attempt at a Rocking Chair. A couple of years ago WoodWrangler mentioned this guy http://www.kappelusa.com/ in one of his posts. He emailed my a Word document with some general directions and I proceeded. Many lessons were learned; the biggest one...

    Design for new dining chair

    Nothing fancy, but this is the new design, or at least probably will be, for the dining chairs to go with the new table. Only little difference from normal construction is the side rails are morticed in to the back legs on the large chamfer that runs the full height of the leg. This detail picks...

    An old chair replacement part.

    I was asked by a person who refinishes and repairs old furniture to make a replacement spindle for a chair he was working on. It is 19.5 inches long and very thin. I don't do a lot of spindle work, but was still able to get this one close, I think. A spindle steady would have been nice. Jack...

    Chair Refinishing

    I have 4 to "refinish" for a friend of mine, but I'm pretty much clueless about how to go about it! :help: These are fairly old I think, but they are sturdy and I don't know what kind of wood they are. I've kinda washed them off by hand with some mild soap & water as a starting point. Cane...

    Hal Taylor Rocking chair

    Doug Robinson and I have been "semi" working on building a pair of Hal Taylor style rocking chairs. I say "semi" as we have been VERY slow, and haven't done much to them in QUITE a while. They are challenging, and following Hal's plans are at times a challenge. All in all, it hasn't been...

    Adirondack Rocking Chair Plans

    I have a set of plans and templates for an Adirondack chair but the LOML wants rockers. Does anyone know the radius for the rocking rail on an Adirondack rocker? I figure I can build the chairs and add the rocker rails. Thanks in advance for your help.
