..Kev Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks guys.. Looking forward to getting the spindles in but, still some details to take care of first. Can anyone view the previous page on this build? Mine just locks up when I tried to go to page 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Kev, mine locked up to when I tried to go back a page. It also locked up when I went to page 1 then tried to go forward. Eventually found earlier post. However this his is fast becoming a project that is almost to nice to use. You are definitely knocking this thing out of the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Thanks.. I sent a note to Marc to let him know.. In the meantime, I'll post today's progress here again. Got the arms out of clamps early this morning and starting working the joint. Will try to get to the spindles tonight or early tomorrow but, have a few details to work on first.

..Kev Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Got the spindles cleaned up and installed.. Back to the sanding tomorrow to clean up the squeeze out. Still a little time left in my day so, cut up ply to form the rockers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Marc, obviously you're a good instructor and have at least one qualified student!Heck of a job, so far Kev! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Thanks Coop! There's a couple things along the way that you have to think about but, Marc does a pretty damn good job. It pays off to watch a couple videos ahead and know what's coming so that you're prepared when you get there.I dropped the ball today and didn't have any black transtint dye on hand because my ebony plugs will be a little under sized just as Marc's were. Fortunately, they're plugs so, doesn't "have" to be the next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hey Kev, try to keep in mind the things that weren't clear in the videos to share with us. Might help one of us future chair builders from screwing something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might help one of us future chair builders from screwing something up.They should become obvious if you stay a couple videos ahead. The horns are the big one that jumps out at me. Kind of a last minute 'oh by the way'.. Marc did a good job of catching up but, if you were just going step by step thru the videos, you could end up with your legs glued up before you make the decision you need to make.

..Kev Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Interesting day in the shop today.. Was on my last 2 strips for the rocker when the switch on my table saw went out. Just banged them out with the TS 75 and I'll go to Grizzly this afternoon for a replacement part. Got the first one glued up. Lesson learned on the form, leave enough ply to support the lamination on the thin end.. I used a clamp to reinforce it but, building it properly up front would eliminate that issue. And, for those of you with a dirty shop fetish Off to Grizzly to get replacement parts. Then, a little shop clean up is in order! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Thanks.. I sent a note to Marc to let him know.. Hey Kev, I started the thread last night about this problem. Mine seems to be working okay this afternoon, it wasn't this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..Kev Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 First rocker out of clamps, in goes the second. Also got all the pieces sized for the riser blocks.. Won't do anything else with it until late tomorrow afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Kev, is there a concern that one rocker will "spring back" more than the other when they're removed from the form? And I don't mean to jinx ya and hope I don't, but as I've never done bent laminate, just wondered? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick S Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Just curious - what glue did you use for the laminations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Just curious - what glue did you use for the laminations?Titebond for this one. You definitely need some time to work this one. I think Marc used Titebond Extend but, he's in AZ with some warmer temperatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strasberry Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Many times those rocker switches just need to be taken apart and sawdust cleared from the contact points inside the switch! Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 New switch is on order.. Should be here Tuesday. I should be done with the saw for the remainder of the rocker build now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Kev, did you attempt to blow it out with compressed air before ordering a new one? My scroll saw switch fails every once in a while and I've found in just need to stick my compressed air nozzles in there and give it a few bursts.

My scroll saw switch fails every once in a while and I've found in just need to stick my compressed air nozzles in there and give it a few bursts. Yep.. I even pulled the plug apart as well as pulling the cover off at the motor and checking things there. The switch was only 20 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
