You don’t look like a novice to me. Great job. I really love rocking chairs and that one is a beauty.

You reference “Hal’s plans”, is that something you are willing to share? I have always dreamed of making my own rocking chair… Any suggestions?

-- Derrek L.

believe me Derrek
I was interested in building telescopes, not rockers, but Hal plans made me attracted to this hobby more, it is well instructed and I am planning to buy his new version of plans soon.

more over this man will be your friend and indeed he will offer you any help you could ask for, he is such a nice fellow.

Wow, for a novice you created an heirloom first try. What a treasure. Great job.

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Thanks every one love your generous words

Beauty of a chair. Cannot detect anything “novice” about it. Great job.

Very nice work!

A novice no more. Would like to know more about Hal’s plans, like how to acquire them.

Adventurer, you’ve done a great job here. I’ll look forward to seeing another one from you. :)

I’ve been considering buying Hal’s plans for some time. For those of you asking I believe the plans refered to are Hal Taylor’s at rocker plans .

Adventurer…thanks for posting this.

Beautiful rocking chair and telescope. I just finished my first Hal Tayler rocking chair and starting #2. I can see these rocking chairs can become habit forming. I am also a amateur astronomer

Amazing chair! I looked up those Hal’s plans and $275 is a bit steep for me. for a set of plans. You did a beautiful job.

-- Trent Tidmore, Grapevine, TX

when I decided to buy the plans I wasn’t looking to the paper value, but the 15 years of experience and excellence that Hal sell in his plans.

my 2 cents

I appreciate every comment thank you every one

Good looking rocking chair…..well done.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.

Beautiful! I was lucky enough to spend a week with Hal Taylor last year. Unfortunately I still haven’t got my chair started yet. Trying to get a lot of things out of the way so that I can focus on it. I expect that once I start there won’t be time to eat. ;) I’ll keep your chair bookmarked as an inspiration!

Sam Maloof should be worried nice chair how much did you use the plans?

-- All bleeding will eventually stop.

in fact without the plans I would never attempt to do this, I use the plans step by step

Very beautiful chair. So it’s a ripoff of Maloof huh? Not too bad. I like it non the less. You did a masterful job on it.
