I enjoy both flat work and turning. While this chair is flat work the pins that hold the back on and the ones used to adjust the back are turned. The wood is Cherry and took at least 3 times as long to build as it should have.
I'd been in a big hurry to get that project done so I could relax in it! Great looking project Stuart. I'm currently doing metal work, actually refinishing Tonka trucks for our first grandson.
I know what you mean. I have a couple of bowls that are now finished I need to mail off to a cousin. I am about 1 1/2 year behind in getting the fruit bowls to them.
Frank, if you have the interest I suggest the plans on Title: Products – The Wood Whisperer Guild . The plans cost $100 but you get a very good set of documents and around 5 hours of instructions. The instructions show how to build and use forms for the arms, back and so forth. Once you buy one set of plans you become a member for life. This give a very good Facebook access plus a monthly live chat session.
