Back Country SAPFM chapter at Klingspor Extravaganza

[Charlie Buchanan]

Hope all you who attend the Klingspor Extravaganza in Hickory next weekend will drop by the SAPFM booth and take a look at our organization. We will have some member projects on display and the builders will be there to answer questions. If you're interested in furniture building I think we are worth a look. Jim Moon will be showing his replica of the Studley tool chest and it is something to see. Tom Sears will have one of his side chair reproductions there and he can talk about the finishing routine he used to duplicate the look of the 18th century original.


Here's a small photo of three of Tom's chairs--one original and two of his reproductions--one before and one after finishing.

I'll have one of my efforts there also along with some displays like plans, templates and study models of parts.
Come by and say hello. If you like building American furniture you'll find a shared interest in SAPFM.

Here's a photo of Jim Moon's replica of the Studley Tool Chest alongside a photo of the original. Jim's replica will be on display at SAPFM booth at the Extravaganza.

Sounds awesome!

 

[Berta]

I am fascinated with that tool chest!

Charlie tell me Jim doesn't have a Stanley #1 to fit the tool chest? The tool collection is one subject the toolbox is another. Both amazing.

I have been a SAPFM member in the past and found it a little inactive in the Durham area.

What is the meeting schedule and location for most of your gatherings?
I was very pleased with the activities of the SAPFM group in the Wash DC area back in the early 1980's but it seems things have slowed down a bit.

Maybe an update would get me moving again.

Dan:

Yep the #1 Stanley is in there. It is in the upper left quadrant adjacent to the front knob of the large transitional plane in the area that has a round top.

Some guys have all the fun. See you in Nov. Working away on some parts now.

When I eat a good breakfast its time for some labor. This will burn some calories​

Bill Clemmons gets a close look at Jim Moon's replica of the Studley Tool Chest Friday at Klingspor Extravaganza.

I tried to stand far enough back that I wouldn't drool on anything. :swoon: An AMAZING piece of craftsmanship. Jim Moon is to be congratulated and recognized for this incredible accomplishment.

 

[KenOfCary]

This piece was truly impressive. That is the only word I can come up with to describe it. Since I haven't seen anything but pictures of the original, I don't really have a comparison, but regardless, this is a work of art. I was really glad I got to see it in person.
