With an extra long weekend
giving me lots of time to work on my chairs, I got the frames completed for all
8 chairs. After a trip to the store for more wood, I finished cutting out all
the back rails. They got clamped together and roughly sanded to ensure they
were uniform in size.
The lower back rounded
pieces got cut out and sanded.
Finally it was time to start
assembly. The first step was attaching 2 back rails together with a curved
piece at the top of the frame.
Then I built a jig to attach
the side seat pieces to the front piece/front legs assembly. Since they are on
a slight angle, this allows consistent and faster assembly.
All these seats and legs had
to be stacked, cause I was running out of floor space at this point.
Next was attaching the front
assemblies and back assemblies together and adding the curved piece at the back
of the seat. This was the most pain in the butt part where I wished I had
another set of hands, but I got through it and all the frames are complete
I love the way they look all
lined up in my shop like this.
And now we know: always buy
double the amount of screws you think you need, I had to make a second trip to
the store for pocket hole screws
