Class Is In
First, I want to thank all of you who have followed me, and especially those who have subscribed, I’m excited to build this as a resource and community. You are also supporting my efforts to finish my house before the snow collapses my tent, for which I am eternally grateful.
It’s been a busy week teaching so I thought I’d share a video of one of my talks. It’s about gluing up seats, which is a very common activity in my shop. I find this a satisfying part of the process because you can make a joint that will last and also, using the technique that I describe, will look harmonsious with the shaping of the seat. I hope you enjoy it. I will be adding material available to the subscribers soon as well as continuing to offer posts available to everyone.
I love hearing different chairmaker's thoughts behind their techniques. I'm going to have to try this out on my next chair. Thanks!
So with this board configuration, it looks like you have the grain running front to back instead of side to side, yes? Do you generally prefer that for your seats or are there circumstances when you’ll have the grain running side to side instead?
