Eric. Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Those are awesome. I can't believe I've never seen those before. Are they off the Maloof site or are they knockoffs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pkinneb Posted June 12, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 So today I was able to get a couple hours in the shop and got the rest of the rear Maloof joints knocked out... I started by dialing in the round over a bit. I don't use the digital gauge on my router table all to often but it and a feeler gauge came in handy today I'm going to leave well enough alone with the power tool settings at this point I can live with this Batched out the remaining rear leg mortises. I used the saw blade because I don't have a sled for dado's and I haven't used the dado stack in the Sawstop yet and didn't want to take the time to figure it out today. Marc's tip (block to keep leg parallel) on the Maloof rocker build came in hand here Then cleaned them up with router plane...I really like these planes Joints on the rear legs complete Next up front leg joints... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Nice work fitting the back legs. Looks better after the router adjustment. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 this is a great project you got going!! Those chairs should look amazing when finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkinneb Posted June 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Started on the front Maloof joints tonight...cut the flat and the low side on all the front legs before I move on and raise the blade for the last cut. I can live with this Now for my latest mistake...note to self if you're going to take the time to mark and label your stock it might behoove you to pay attn to the markings ...luckily for me I was able to swap the legs and move on ...so tomorrow I want to finish these joints do you folks see any issues with this table saw set up? (affix a temp riser to the sled) Or should I make a router jig? Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I don't understand what you need the riser for? I can't recall ever needing to do that. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 To the tablesaw setup . . . Is the scrap piece in order to make the part set level? Are you trimming the dado to fit or is that a finished part and the part to be cut is sans dado? I'm not quite with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy's due to the lumber I had available and the grain I was looking for I did not have enough material to make rectangular blanks for the front legs. The front legs on these stools are curved (forward slightly) so to get a 90 degree cut at the Maloof joint I need to raise the leg about a 1/2" or the end of the leg hits the table and keeps me from getting a square cut. The other option I have would be to make a router jig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pkinneb Posted June 16, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Didn't get much time today had to mow and get a run in but was able to get one set of front legs done, I did go with the riser. Used turners two sided tape worked well. Here is the first stool Next up finish the front legs on the other stools then mark the joints to the seat and cut off any excess material at the band saw. After that I will round over all the edges I can to help cut down on the sculpting later then glue up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisc Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Looking good. Its got its own GT stripes running up the seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I don't know how but just found this thread. Awesome build so far and the "finished product" pics.. those are some sweet looking chairs. Like Eric, I've never seen this type in the maloof style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 You're gonna make me put these on my bucket list, Paul. Looking very cool. Can't wait to see them take shape. Good choice using lots of heartwood on these, too. I usually prefer my maple white, but for these, the character maple is definitely a good call if you're not using figured. They're gonna be earthy and interesting to look at. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan G Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Just came across this thread also. Im hooked already. Makes the itch to do a sculpted piece harder to ignore. Great woork! Looking forward to following along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have hickory cabinets through out our house and after working with it for my office cabinets I knew I did not want to ever use it again LOL. I think these will give the look of hickory without the issues that I found working with hickory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pkinneb Posted June 17, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Found another good use for blue tape...helped me set up my small router plane to dial in the Maloof joints Maloof joints complete... Next up stringer layout, round overs at the router table, and glue up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pkinneb Posted June 18, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Today I was back to sculpting the seats a little more before glue up got one as far as I will probably go prior to glue up...all the sanders were out... Then I used the spindle sander to clean up the outer edges To fair the outer edges I made a quick long board... It worked well, now two more to do 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 The grain on that seat sure is nicely arranged. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I have all those sanders as well. Awesome, everyone of them ! Oh yeah, and awesome work on the chair as well.
