shaneymack Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 What about the leg to floor connection?

Popular Post shaneymack Posted February 15, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Got a few hours Saturday and a few hours this evening. I got all the arms glued up. Here is a pic to see how drastic the curve is I had to fine tune the back compond angle after the glue up. Got a.nice tight fit on the mitre and the bevel. Now with the back angles perfect I had to locate the dowel. Drilled the 1/2" hole with a square to guide me With that done i could make the last cut on the arms. Still a perfect fit. Most lf this will be sculpted away A few pics with all parts in place My lil guy loves them So all parts a made. Only 2-300 hours of sculpting and this thing is done.....lol Next up, i need to make dowel for the front leg to arm connection.

shaneymack Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 So you're making bubinga dowels ? I was going to but decided not to. After breaking one bandsaw blade, completely dulling two other bandsaw blades, breaking the ceramic out of my toy bandsaw and dulling my kapex blade and breaking two drill bits I didn't want to have to sharpen the blades on my dowel maker for two bubinga dowels lol. This 8/4 bubinga is some tough, angry wood. LoL Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk Looking awesome Shane! Will be interesting to see that transform when you do the sculpting! Im going to put these things aside until spring so I can sculpt outside. I dont want everything covered in bubinga dust. As you are well aware, sculpting is messy business. This bubinga dust is the harshest I've ever breathed. Nose bleeds and sore throats have been common after my shop sessions. Im going to start the grandfather clock guild build next week.

wdwerker Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Sounds like that wood has cut quite a swath through your equipment. If it isn't going to show who's going to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I assume you're using a respirator? Fresh cartridges? I rarely wear a respirator unless im sanding or doing something that is spraying dust everywhere. I wore my respirator for almost two hours today though. No more bubinga dust for me. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk Sounds like that wood has cut quite a swath through your equipment. If it isn't going to show who's going to know? Exactly. At first I thought it would be cool to make dowel out bubinga and then i came to my senses. :-) Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wore my respirator for almost two hours today though. No more bubinga dust for me. Those chairs are looking awesome! Looking forward to spring to see you transform those bad boys! I never used to wear a respirator. Only when doing really dusty work would I wear one of those flimsy dust masks. I usually ended up taking that off though because it would fog up my glasses. On a project a few years ago I was doing a lot of routing and sanding with western red cedar. By the end of that project I was having some respiratory issues/symptoms. Took quite a while to clear up. I now wear a respirator with particulate filters anytime I am in the shop milling, cutting, sanding or in any way creating dust. It seals up nicely and is fairly comfortable to wear. I also just snap in organic vapor cartridges when I am working with oils or other chemicals. Its just habit now, like hearing protection. That fine dust is really bad for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is our youngest he is 21 months old.....he's kinda big lol Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk The pen turner in me just cried a little. I hear you man. The problem is that most cutoffs are unusable. They are all very curved. By the time you'd get a square, straight piece of stock out of it there would be nothing left. I've kept all the straight cut off for small projects, pens etc. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drzaius Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 For the arms, couldn't you make the blank just a bit taller & then get 2 arms out of the blank? I love this build, but ya, all the waste is tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this build, but ya, all the waste is tough. Not really. The sweep of the arm from the bottom of the leg to arm connection to the back of the arm where it meets the back leg is around 6 1/2" high. So the blank would have to be at least 13" high. That would be difficut to cut the drastic left to right curve. Basically you'd be resawing a huge curve 13" tall.
