I've lived with MsBubba too long and have caught some of her ways. This morning after looking at the options for jointing the long stretchers I started moving machines. Just like MsBubba and the furniture I didn't really change much functionally but the machines are all in different places. The big change is the tablesaw is against the West wall and out of the way. Photos when it is all hooked up.

Hi Ken
ReplyDeleteThe chair looks really good.
My favorite detail is the way the back spindles reduce in size a little distance before holding the backrest.
And the color of the chair matches the red edge banding of the carpet.
So I think it looks a lot like a success!

Thanks Jonas,
DeleteIt may be, so far MsBubba hasn't sent it to my office. In a week or two we will know success or not :-).

Looks good and promise not to comes apart with the season? SOLD. Will have to try that someday soon
ReplyDeleteBob,
DeleteAll the joints are wedged or pegged. Traveling from Houston in the summer to Alaska in the winter shouldn't make a difference.
Do it. it is an enjoyable build with new things to learn.

Wanted to add, even the first go at it will give something that works and is strong. It might not be "pretty" but it should be functional.

Chair looks great. Liberate yourself: ditch the tablesaw. :-)
ReplyDeleteAndy,
DeleteThanks.
Wait until you see my next post :-). The table saw is in its appropriate place against the wall and out of the way, photos to follow. If I could sale it, not give it away, it would be gone. I expect I will use it like Ralph does as a storage table.

Sometimes I hate Blogger. fingers get ahead of brain and spell check is useless and there it is for all to see. Oh well, it proves I'm a dumb old West Texas farm boy like I've always said.
