I am interested in learning how to build a Windsor Chair but don’t have the time to attend a class at the Windsor Institute in New Hampshire. Are there any step by step plans and templates available for windsors similiar to Hal Taylors plan’s for Maloof rockers?

Thanks

Looking forward to see what I can learn from this book. Lowest price that I could find on Amazon for Make a Windsor Chair With Michael Dunbar was close to $100
