Making Chair Parts







The last couple of days I have been making chair parts. I sort through my milled oak looking for appropriate sizes to fashion the chair's foundation: legs, arms and braces. The parts are cut using a combination of freehand band saw work and miter saw. The miter saw helps me to cut the many precise angles called for in the design. Once the parts are cut and sanded, I "dry fit" the pieces to make sure everything lines up. So far luck is on my side. We have tight fitting joints all around. Tomorrow we head into the assembly phase.
