Wait a second, are you reading my mind - what the !

Makes me crazy why it isn't more accurate - [B]PLEASE explain, anything to make it dead-on would be tremendous.

Thanks, can't wait.

After releasing the clamps last night, this:

I'm pretty happy with the 'fix'.

After thinking about it, decided NOT to run it through the planer - instead, waiting to glue up final board...

Haven't popped the clamps yet, been working on stupid stuff at work and trying to get a date on Match (equally like work, if truth be known...).

I know the underside can be left alone, I was...

Alright - this site is AMAZING!

I took a couple bits from Paul, Mike, Scott, Derek, etc.

So, what I took was to get back to flat then deal with the 'bump'.

This is a picture of the benchtop...

Come on man, don't poop on medium to inadequate, never fully dimensioned to spec, twisted, cupped, warped, knotted beyond the legal limit, poorly stacked, dregs of dregs, wet, lumber - that's just...

Electric hand plane????

I don't have one, haven't for years, used them a lot for hanging doors.

I remember then to be LOUD and rather unforgiving if not set up right.

Maybe???

Mikita...

As I mentioned Steve, I've left the bottom to be whatever to deal with or not later so, I have NO flat surface to reference to - Paul's idea of a sled is maybe the only big picture fix.

I don't...

Photo with clamps off - light from garage door coming in from right of photo exaggerates the screw up but illustrates it for clatiety.

Damn, I'm so mad at myself!

I'll just go ahead and admit it - super stupid move on my part.

Project Setup:
Building a Roubo Split Top bench, my first real bench in my life (57 years old, working with wood since at 13 in...

...I know but, I brought wine....

Great work!

I'm working on a reproduction of the 369 Drop Arm Spindle version of this chair - different set of plans but many of the same bits.

I have a question - the back-slats,...

I know I'm late to the game but, having built a handful and starting on another series right now, it's exactly what Doug said - 15 per side, 3/4" for spindle size and spacing between all including...

You know it - I'm adding 2" to each end.

It's a crazy comfortable chair, trust me, I wouldn't make it otherwise.

And yes, I'm a mockup maven!

Gimmie some of the Doug-Fir, I can build...

For sure, that's one way but I was trying to have the most clean start rather then a copy of a copy of a copy.

To your second point, yes, 'close enough' is a problem I have - I'm working on...

Ben, Kevin and Prashum,

It was where to start the mark for the radius. Following ya'll's similar solution, I made this and it comes pretty close to almost exactly what the full size drawing...

Just that I can't figure out how to layout the semi circle.

Cord 21-3/4"
Radius 23"

That's all I got.


I know how to cut long.

Inches.

I agree, I can't get the radius I'm coming up with to match the scale drawing of the radius.

Hence, why I'm here - I know it's something so simple - I just can't see it.

I'm not...

Oh man, Kevin, good reply. For those of you playing along, here's a high school flash back refresher of terms he's talking about:
460457 (no, I didn't make it small, I just don't know how to make it...

I don't know Bill, didn't match the full side drawing that one of the plans came with. Also, seems overly bent. Maybe I didn't understand your idea. Anyway, I wrote a more exhaustive description of...

I am going to start over - I don't know how many of you guys are on other (not necessarly wood working) sites / forums - this has to be the friendliest of them ALL - THANK you all for trying to help...

No no Bill, I think you figured it out. Let me try that. Be back tonight.

Thanks - Patrick

No Mate, I'm all good with how to bend wood (for now at least).

I don't understand the part about laying out, marking, doing a 'tighter' radius going from 23-inch radius to a 22-inch radius - it's...

Hello All,

For my first post here, an embarrassing question that I just can't figure out.

I'm working on a reproduction Morris chair and have to stem bend the back-slats. The direction for the...
