      That is a cool design. You’re fortunate to have the chair as a template. Will this go to an expectant friend or maybe …….?

      What Woodworkiing fans are doing for a living and how much they make to be able to afford it ?

      By Coop · Posted

      I think you will find that your answer will run the gamut from lawyers and doctors to peons like myself that retired from the fire and safety business. I bought what I thought were the basic tools needed for the project(s) I wanted to build and saved to upgrade when necessary and add to the arsenal for the next project. It also depends on what your other hobbies and priorities are as to how much you can allocate to woodworking.

      Hello Guys, I've been wondering about how we, you,  dear amazing reader, as a woodworking fan, ( Having it as a Hobby/Passion..) , what are doing for a living, and kind of, if you don't mind/wanted to share, how much would you make per year, to be able to afford it,  to buy the required tools, the lumber, all of the required thing that would let a project be successfully done

      MCM Chair

      By Chestnut · Posted

      This has been a pretty quick project and has been a lot of fun. With a decent template and the stock on hand I took some time making paper rough templates from the large overall template. These were more or less to identify parts. Additionally i used the templates to trace parts and nest them within boards to reduce scrap. I feel like most builders of chairs like this just cut long boards and then waste a lot of the material but that just doesn't feel right to me what I know I can make better use of the material. The front legs were nested out of 1 board. The only wide part necessary is the area where joinery happens. The long main leg was a bit harder to nest, but i was able to orient the board in such a way where the off cut was a usable size for another part of the chair. The only trick with this is to make sure that joinery angles are maintained. This wasn't difficult with the large master template. I just established strait baselines. The bevel gauge was my friend. I have no idea what the angles where they just got transfered to a miter gauge and cut. Once a few parts got laid out I was able to rough in the shape to get an idea of where joinery is supposed to go. No surprise I used the domino cutter to make mortises and then used home made floating tenon stock. Tenon stock was air dried green ash as it's really hard and nice and springy. I did my typical multiple plunges 5/8" apart on center to make one larger mortise. 2 plunges makes just under a 2" wide mortise 3 plunges makes close to 2_3/4" wide mortise. Once the joinery is identified and cut I then laid out lines on the parts to cut the shape from the rough blanks. The shape was cut on the band saw and then cleaned up with a spoke shave, block plane, and rasp. Care was taken to ensure that the shaping wouldn't interfere with the joinery as I tried to maximize joinery size. I also did not clean up the curves that were near the joinery at this point. Leaving 10% will allow me to blend the separate parts together once the side is glued.
