Here's my second attempt at making the rocking chair that I designed. It's still not right but I think its looking pretty good. It's looks are an improvement over the first one. I think I made some nice refinements. The first one can be seen at http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=7819&highlight=rocking+chair
This one is getting close to being finished. It is made out of cherry. The problem with it is that it doesn't sit well. I was trying to go with Sam Maloofs measurements but I goofed somewhere along the line :o . It just doesn't feel good to sit in. Does anyone know what the measurements of a rocker should be? Maybe the next one will turn out right. :)
The next photos are of my shop. It is in the basement and my work space is about 10' x 7'. You can see my Jet bandsaw, my Inca jointer/planer, and my 1950s era Sears Craftsman table saw. All second hand tools but they work pretty good. It gets a little tight when working on the chair, but I seem to make do.
In one of the photos you can see the new Rigid sander that I bought (it is on top of the table saw). It's really a big improvement over the old Sears sander that died on me.
Thanks for looking. Feel free to critique my work. Pete
