Denette Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Beautiful work. I imagine that the challenge of this project is now that if something goes wrong, buying more stock is illegal! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing will go wrong And I dont think being on the Cites list makes it illeagal to purchase just much harder to find. 3 hours ago, SimonR said: those are shaping up nicely there! Are they starting to be "fun" to move yet? Thanks. Yeah im sure these chairs will weigh 100lbs each once done ! I was in the shop in my slippers yesterday and dropped one of the back legs on my toe......OUCH !!!!!! 3 hours ago, CandorLush said: Great ingenuity with the jigs, they clearly worked out really well Thanks, but really nothing new under the sun. These are pretty common techniques to work with this kind of oddly shaped stock. I take no credit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna S Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 These are beautiful! How do you like the plans? Well written? I've thought about trying to make the rocking chair on their site, but I don't know anyone who's built it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Marc is the gold standard of woodworking instruction I'd say Charles Brock is the bronze standard. His instruction is pretty good, just not awesome like Marcs.

Popular Post shaneymack Posted February 1, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I have been moving at a snails pace on this project. Life is kinda crazy. We put an offer on a house/acreage yesterday and put our house on the market last week. I've had trouble focusing on this in the midst of the craziness. Anyway, i got a bit done tonight. Had to drill the 1/2" hole on top of front legs to accept dowel to attach arms This was how i drilled straight with the leg. I just eyeballed the bit with the pieces of wood. Got got the holes drilled and legs attached with screws. As careful as I was, two screws broke off in the chair and I broke two brad point drillbits. This is an angry, angry wood. Lol Time to start cutting the profiles on the front legs Side profile : Front profile Small section at the top that needed to be cut off I also snapped a 1/4" bandsaw blade. I was going hard on it....oops. Here is what the legs look like on the chair Curve towards front Taper I have burned a bunch of bubinga already and my kindling pile just seems to be growing !! So much waste, breaks my heart ! Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post shaneymack Posted February 1, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Looking good Shane. Dream home or just next home? Thanks, Carus. Dream home. 45 acres, 20 of which is dense hardwood and a 40x45 shop with 15 foot ceilings, bathroom, hot water, 100 amp panel etc. Oh yeah and there is a house lol. There is an old barn as well but I would be building a new one from timbers i cut from the lot as i clear for paddocks for our horses. I plan on getting a wood mizer. Been a dream of mine forever. With the hardwood on this acreage, i can heat the house and shop and build whatever I want for a lifetime!

shaneymack Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I hear you guys, the problem is I have absolutely no time at all to make any cutting boards or handles and not even 1 spare square inch to store the scraps of bubinga.
