| « Part 3: Here is day 3 | Part 4 of Rocking Chair Summer Camp with Bill Kappel series | Part 5: day 5 and only 1/2 day to go tomorrow » |
Today, we did more sculpting, cut and glued up the laminates for the rocker runners, and created the headrest and the first back slat. The following pictures tell the tale.

When you say “Bending the Rails” are you doing a laminated glue up? I started at the beginning of this series and it really rocks. I’ll be following it. Thanks for taking the time to blog.

I just got caught up with your blog and I’m amazed at how much you accomplish in one day for what has always appeared to me to be a complex project. It must be a very rewarding week and a great way to spend some vacation time.

thanks Stanley.. I am also amazed at how fast it is going. Please keep in mind though that I am working with Bill Kappel and he has been making these chairs for many years. Having an experienced pro to help teach me makes the processes go much faster than if I was home trying to figure it out myself.
