Hi people,
There was lots of help about what tools to get and things like that.
I see that a few have posted pics of their projects so I thought I might just add a couple of photos of my latest.
This is a full size model chair I made. I was thinking of making some more out of teak for the balcony. But it is quite nice and it has found a spot in our bedroom.

I based my design on a chair I saw in a furniture book. A little on the modern Eurpean side but we like that. The legs are angled front to back but I also put a very slight angle from side to side. This made some tricky angled mortice and tennons that I wasn't so sure if they would work out or not. But it was a model to test what I was able to do before spending BIG bucks on good timber.
And here is the chair without the cushions.

And as I have been asking about tools I thought I might show you what I used to make this project.

What do you think?
Does this bring to mind any tool recomendations
