sticker shock!
Holy shnikeys!
Let me start by saying that I really didn't think that it would cost me much for materials for this chair. I thought I could get everything needed for around 100 bucks. After I was done shopping for wood, hardware, and a couple tools I need I spent $177.00. Then I went to home Depot to check thier prices and ended up buying a few more tools I will need like a speed square, router bits and clamps. After checking out I spent a little over $70.00.
So now I've spent way more than I thought I would, and that was just buying the cheapest wood for my first go around. But it will be well worth the cost. I'm just suprised how spendy it gets just wait till I make the set of chairs out of Bubinga!
So far I have printed the plans from jakeschair.com, and drafted all of the pieces onto poster board for templates. Now I have half of them drawn onto the poplar I bought. After there all transferred to the wood I've gotta get a resemblance of a wood shop going in the shed. We shall see, I might do a lot of the work at my work after work and use thier band saw and sanders.
