Angle the tenon, or angle the mortise…
Looks like you are on a roll here.

Have you built a prototype and sat in it? I over think these things. I have half a dozen prototype chairs, and nothing to show. I need to change that.

Thanks for the inspiration,
Steve

moving right along here gary

watching this brings back memories
of these same tasks
and the ways to accomplish them

what a lucky guy

after the wife looking in all the high price stores
(wal-mart lowe’s home depot ikea)
the wife picked you
to make her furniture
an honor indeed

you will need to have your own signature on them
to keep from getting bunched in with
chippendale hepplewhite krenov and the other period antique furniture makers

without a doubt
you have the gift

Ang galing Gary, I see how a professional do it the right way. The variable angle slider (I do not not how to call them) is now added to the list of tools that you have used. There are lot of jigs design and construction that I have seen but nothing can be compared with yours on the accuracy… one of the secret of mass production and fast enough to compete with time.

SPalm – No, I haven’t built a prototype. A chair is basically a chair with common dimensions. The only thing I did make in advance was a mock-up of the back. I just used my template for the back and made two pieces and screwed them to a third. Took the whole thing and set it in another chair and tried it out.

The first attempt had too much lumbar support a little too high. The second attempt was just right.

Looks kind of like some torture device, huh? It actually very comfortable. With the upholstered back it should be exceptionally comfortable.

BertFlores58 – The fight tool for the job, huh?

patron – I’ll add you to the list. :-)

If you do enough of that thinking part, the woodworker part goes a whole lot easier, huh? Keep it up.

It’s looking real good, Gary.

No surprise there.

I was wondering how you were going to handle that. A wood worker is only as good as his jigs. Another tool to add to my list.

Nice progress Gary. I have the same tenoning jig. One of those things I didn’t think I’d use much that I use all the time for all sorts of things ….and not all tenons.
Good blog too.

Making good progress Gary. I wish I could get that much accomplished in that little of time. Not to mention pausing to take pictures for the blog. You make it look easy.

I am really enjoying watching this project. Thanks for sharing.

What do I love?

Woodworking.

I love doing it, talking about it, AND watching other people do it too:)

It is fun watching all the pieces take shape.
