roughsawn Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Get better Ronn. I had a short bout a month ago, only lasted 4 days. Shots and boosted here, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Sorry you're feeling poorly, @Ronn W. If it's any consolation, it would be worse without the shots. When you're better I'd like to hear about the course, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Glad you're on the way up so soon, Ronn. Probably a good thing you had the shots. We got the fourth, combination shots Friday. We felt a little slow Saturday, but decided to just relax and let our immune systems do what they needed to and stay out of the way. By Saturday evening, we were back to our normal selves. 400 people a day are still dying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legenddc Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Don't be surprised if you have some random symptoms over the next few weeks, even if you didn't have them now. I had no respiratory issues when I was sick but over the next few weeks I would randomly get out of breath, even when I was just sitting. Glad you're starting to feel better!

curlyoak Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 I love the chair. Built here white oak is a no no. Over time mold gets under the finish. In 2 years it is mostly black. I replaced a white oak door on my house with sapele. The wood of choice for outdoors around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some discussion in the past and White oak was an alternative for exterior as being okay to use.. Like anything else, it's about the maintenance. ..

Unfinished white oak is good for many years. A white oak outdoor bench where I used to work was already gray when I got there. Fourteen years later, still in service. Unlike teak or Ipe it can get rough after several years. A flap sander in a drill motor cures that pretty quick. I have a lot of sepele . . . maybe I should make some of each.

I know thick, raw mahogany truck decks last for many years fully exposed. Hmmm . A long time ago I lived in Northwest Arkansas. And white oak was the wood of choice for outside. I would guess the sapele would hold up her without finish. I have a scrap of sapele I will place outside and see what happens. Passing a test here will be meaningful. I live in a caustic environment.

Certainly chair comfort varies as much as we do. For me at my now reduced height of about 5' 10" (shrinking with age I guess) it is a good fit. I listened to my mom and sit up more than a lot of folks so my posture is fairly erect. I find the angle comfortable; tilted just enough to let you relax without slouching and the curved rise between butt and knees keeps you from sliding out. You know of what I speak if you've ever had a chair that seems to pour you out as opposed to cradle you. As to the specific plan, some part alignments rely on the pilot hole pattern supplied. This generally worked but I learned a good deal by building a single chair first. The front leg to rear leg / seat support junction is pretty critical. I will do relational measurements to double check the screw positions prior to drilling on the next ones. There wasn't really a problem but a minor miss on these locations could telegraph to a teeter-totter problem. Unlike a standard legged chair, adjustments to the leg height could be awkward on this design. Better to get it right at the bench than correct it later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely an Adirondack-type design. The seat is higher and the angle less severe. The front curves back under which lets you get your feet under you when rising. Similar look but a different ergonomic design. I can say that as I get older the easier in and out are a big plus for me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Beautiful chair, that must be a monster to move good thing you can get it where it belongs and leave it. 13 hours ago, gee-dub said: Unlike teak or Ipe it can get rough after several years. Have you tried using water to raise the grain of the white oak before applying finish and puttin git in service? I did that with a pair of white oak rocking chairs that I gave to my pareents and after 4 years they are still pretty smooth. They do get moved inside for winter. I tried Outdoor defence from the real milk paint company. It has zinc in it which is an antimicrobial. It's based on tung oil so there isn't really a film and yearly applications have resulted in zero mold. Sounds like you plan on going naked though which is also a good option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gee-dub Posted November 4, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 First off today, I had to recover. The brutal California winter is upon us!!! It is actually going to be below 70 degrees today!?!. It took about 20 minutes of random drawer opening but I finally found a pair of long pants. I will be wearing them today as a testament to the horrific shift in temperatures we have to endure in my area. I know that FEMA is already responding to many calls for assistance after yesterday's slight moisture residue deposited by some overnight precipitation in the range of about .0021". There was actual visible moisture on my concrete!!! As if the abrupt arrival of Old Man Winter wasn't enough of a shock, I decided to go to the lumber yard. Where's the $700 !?! Do you see $700 ??? I don't see $700 . . . $700 worth of lumber used to make my truck squat and do wheelies when encountering the slightest bump on the way home. Apparently now it is just 70 bf of rift sawn white oak. To be fair I did throw about 12 bf of obeche in there. It is like a blond sepele. I'd never seen it before and just wanted some 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well compared to you, up in Northern California we had near blizzard conditions, we got .43 in a 24 hour period. and about 5 days before that we had a 5.1 earthquake about 12 miles east of were I live. Just a little jiggler by Cali standards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys at the yard called it "blonde mahogany". The boards in the bin were leftovers from a large order for an obeche wainscotting job for a library in someone's "house" so someone was familiar enough with it to special order it. I have visions of someone's library that is bigger than my whole house; we have those folks around here . I think it looks more like sepele which is the board shown on top of it in the previous pic. Like sepele, it comes in wide widths. My preferred yard sells by the board foot. The local yard adds a premium for wide widths or thick boards and even sells by length (at a premium) if the material meets some qualifier that I have not quite nailed down. Be that as it may, I was glad to find the obeche. It was new to me and will make some small object extra special due to the novelty. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
