I’d like to have one of these for my desk chair but prefer a more upright than the low back. Yes Coop, it's a deep chair. I think it wouldn't be too hard to move the backrest forward, it would just be changing the location of 2 cuts. The other thing is they are very wide, much wider than the Low Back. That may not be a big problem, but could be if you have a desk with limited leg/knee/foot space. Changing the width is more difficult as you would need to change the pattern. If you want any measurements of the final chair just ask, I'll get them for you. On 8/28/2019 at 10:17 PM, Chestnut said: Beautiful. You should submit those to marc through the guild website. I think it might help the project if people see how others modify the plans and make them their own. Submitted and they are now posted on the guild site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Those came out really nice. I like some of the changes to the design... Now lets get the rocking chair that is in the back ground finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KansaSawyer Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 I am very interested in purchasing and building this chair, though I have two question that remains outstanding: First: how high is the top of the back rest? I'm curious about the overall height as it looks so short to me. Second: Is there any way to construct this (particularly the back rest) without any access to a large bandsaw? The list of necessary tools in the guild write-up indicates a bandsaw with 8" resaw capacity is necessary (I would assume this is because the back rest is curved -- and it is curved before the sculpting process that further softens the back) and I am having a hard time envisioning any way to achieve that curved backrest without a large bandsaw. I have everything else I'll need -- a great table saw, planer, a domino, etc . . . but the bandsaw is the one holdout. Thank you in advance for the help.

wtnhighlander Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 If you are willing to provide the sweat, a turning saw can do what the bandsaw does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 I thought you could only get those by stealing them off the wall at Cracker Barrel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardA Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 I was pretty sure you saw that when you were up here. That's been in the shop for about 3 or 4 years. I just did it to see how it would work. I bought the blade in Iowa when you were eyeballing that redhead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 If it weren’t for the back pockets, I’d have sworn those jeans were painted on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Wiped on by choice! Smooth application. I seem to remember that Steve @wdwerker‘s choice of color was red heads! I miss that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
