Brendon_t Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I would be super nervous to try the turboplane on wood that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its definitely a challege but I think the real challenge will be when its time to card scrape and sand. Im enjoying it though, its fun to work with. Great work, Shane! I think you'll find that it scrapes like a dream. With a card scraper, the higher the janka the better the shavings. Sanding is a whole 'nother story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God that after the many hours of card scraping there will only be a few hours of sanding.

sheperd80 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Looking good so far Shane. Ive only worked with bubinga enough to know that i wouldn't want to sculpt it! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post shaneymack Posted January 4, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I did one leg out of poplar to be sure not to mess up the bubinga. Here is the test leg in place It fit well so onto the real legs. One set of front legs done so onto the next set. One leg needed some work to get it to fit nice and tight I cut the round over deeper and adjusted the dado Got it Next I cut out all the rear legs on the bandsaw Serious amount of waste for the burn pile Time to pattern route. Glued a little support to the template. You can see it here I did the one side then modified the jig for the opposite side All four legs done. Next up rear leg joinery. Top of dado is 14 3/8" from the center of the top of the leg Before cutting the dados i cleaned up the face where the dado will be and planed it 90° to inside of leg Setup for dado I stopped there. Didn't cut the dados. It was getting late and i wanted to add an aux fence to the miter gauge for additional support so I will start with that next time im in there.

wtnhighlander Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 This is looking great, Shane! I like this chair better than the Maloof-style rocker. Where did you obtain that set of plans & templates? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 How does that shear cut bearing bit like the 28gigawatt Janka bubinga? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 How does that shear cut bearing bit like the 28gigawatt Janka bubinga? Routing downhill no prob. It got a little angry routing up hill. Turned out great though. Bit is probably finished lol Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the Chinese are depleting Africa of all its bubinga. That what ive been told. Death by China. Ahh... I just looked. Bubinga as of January 2, 2017 is now listed in CITES Appendix II, which means the wood while not endangered trade is heavily restricted. So it's going to be like Rosewood, Ebony, etc... an exotic. The note also says that not just the wood, but finished products will be restricted. I wonder how that's going to impact handsaws and planes which use bubinga handles. Anyway, beautiful chair... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Nice work as usual Shane. Was there a reason you didn't have a throat plate in the router table when you did the pattern cut? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
