i’m thinking of tring a project like this…it looks great !!!
is there a site where a guy could get plans ?

Wow, that’s nice!

I didn’t have any plans just some basic dimensions from several Sam Maloof books and a video. Hal Taylor sells plans to his Maloof style chair http://www.haltaylor.com/
or you can take a class from Mark Adams http://www.marcadams.com/ he teaches a class on a Maloof style chair. which ever way you decide to go you can order the “official Maloof rabbeting bits, they come in 5 deg (85 deg and 95deg) and 3 deg sets depending on the Chair style you are building, from www.woodline.com. Wayne Sutter, the owner of Woodline, is a good friend of mine; they make very high quality bits for a very fair price.

good luck and let me know how it go’s
