Hi all,
Anyone knows where to find somewhat accurate plans for Wegner's "The Chair" ? FWW#21 has an article and a small sketch, is there something in Noritsugu Oda' book ?
Thanks !

I don't know of a source for plans but between the sketches in FWW#21 and this you might be able to get it sorted out. Unless you speak Danish you'll have to read the subtitles. I wouldn't be surprised if legitimate plans were unavailable. I would guess that PP Møbler keeps tight control over that sort of thing.
That was a fascinating video!! I was enthralled watching the process they go through to produce such a beautiful chair. Thanks for posting it!

Near the end of the video, when the legs are being glued to the back/arms assembly, the craftsman uses one glue on the tenon, and a different glue on the shoulders. Anybody know what's going on there?
Jamie,
went back and watched it again. It appears its the same glue but he uses a small brush in the mortises and a larger one on the face around the mortise. Then he moves to the tenons and their shoulders using the small brush again. Looks like the same glue pot.
