More chairs

[Mark Rainey]

Well done, Mark. You’re going to enjoy those a lot. I often find it hard to make multiples of anything. Takes a lot of motivation. On the other hand, once the forms are made and the saw is running it’s sort of like why not make four or more. Hopefully, we’ll all be vaccinated soon and you can have a proper get together to break in those chairs.

Thanks Phil. You are insightful. After resawing and planing a few hundred board feet of cherry, "the thrill is gone". The hobby can hint of drudgery. I suppose I have to engage in delayed gratification - people seem to really like the chair and because I do have the forms and method down I think it might be a good gift idea. Yes, as far as COVID we are eager to get outside this spring and see people again around our fire pit, sitting in our chairs.

Snazzy.

Kudos

Thanks Jim. I see some enthusiastic Neanders playing around with the Blackburn monster resaw frame saw. Shall we try to get together and do one of these chairs by hand? We need 56 4 feet strips 1/8 thick and 5 to 6 inches wide.

Thanks Mike. Yes, it is a lot of resawing & a lot of glue ups. About 56 1/8 inch laminates per chair.

Wow. Kudos! A nice execution of a Fortune-esque neo-classic. The extra effort and attention to detail garner the great responses you've gotten here. It's the willingness to put in that extra effort that elevates our work.

Those are fabulous, Mark. Would you mind posting a few more pics of the undercarriage and different views...please.

I'll check my schedule.

I hear my Momma calling.

Once I get through my "Honey Do" list.

After I go to Disneyland, in Japan....

(That's what, 300 bored feet?)
