This chair is ready up for common use. The again leans 12° off the seat, and the seat is tilted 3°, so the again leans 15° off the ground. The seat is 16-3/4″ above the ground, which is a great top for many sitters. Total, the chair is 38-1/2″ tall and there may be 19″ between the hands. 

Like several my chairs, the joints are assembled with cover glue and oak wedges, so the joints are sturdy however may also be simply repaired by means of long run generations. The lavatory oak is completed with a home-cooked linseed oil/wax end that has no toxic solvents. The end gives low coverage, however it’s simple to reapply as wanted (with out a particular abilities or gear) by means of the landlord.

One ultimate observe: I purchased about part of this lavatory oak boule with a pal (hello, Andy!). I estimate I’ve sufficient wooden for roughly 5 – 6 extra lavatory oak stick chairs. So there might be extra at some point. Alternatively, I will not say precisely when. The wooden is moderately tricky to paintings, so I’ve to house those chairs out a little bit to offer myself a ruin.

A boxjoint and tenon SUPER jig!

I believe there may be attractiveness in fast, easy-to-make, one-time-use jigs, however I’ll admit it, I’m a sucker for over-complicated jigs. In truth, I’ll argue that in the event you’re going for versatility, there’s no such factor as too advanced of a jig. Through the appearance of his box-joint and tenon jig, I’m beautiful positive Carmonius Finsnickeri of Sweden concurs with me. For some, part of the joys of woodworking is making jigs. If I minimize extra box-joints, I may simply see including this one to my venture checklist.

Drawing ellipses in SketchUp – FineWoodworking

Drawing ellipses in SketchUp – FineWoodworking

Lately I used to be running on a SketchUp fashion of Thomas Throop’s Oval Facet Desk for plans. This desk has an elliptical best and shelf; a rather fundamental form this is simple sufficient to fashion in SketchUp despite the fact that it is probably not all that glaring. Despite the fact that there are some extensions that may draw them for you I most often simply use the Circle and Scale equipment to do that. But if I want to display the ellipse in a plan I love to incorporate the foci with dimensions to make it simple to structure in the store. If you realize the space between the foci nails pushed into the development board, a loop of string and a pencil will then make fast paintings of drawing the ellipse. The trick is determining the place the foci want to be. It’s essential to calculate the places however there are more uncomplicated tactics. On this video I reveal doing it with an Ellipse plugin from Sketchucation.

It’s price noting that the period of the string from foci to edge to foci is equal to the main measurement of the ellipse.

It’s essential to find the foci by means of building with the Arc device, too. Draw arcs from the center of the facet (there will have to be a vertex there) with the radius equivalent to part the main period. The arcs will intersect the centerline on the foci.

Give it a attempt to see the way you get on.

Workshop tip: Add a sliding vise to your hollow-chisel mortiser

Workshop tip: Add a sliding vise to your hollow-chisel mortiser

I’ve been pissed off by means of the present fence and hold-down device on my hollow-chisel mortising system. It really works, however continuously forces me to upload clamps to stay the workpiece strong. And the clamps have to be untightened and repositioned after each and every sq. hollow I lower. Additionally, I’ve to reposition the fence to create mortises which are wider than my biggest bit.

I solved those issues as soon as and for all by means of including a machinist’s cross-slide vise to the mortiser. The vise holds workpieces firmly and appropriately, and will also be moved within the X and Y instructions by means of turning two massive handles.

hollow-chisel mortiser with standard stock fence and hold-down assembly

First I got rid of the usual fence and hold-down on my mortiser. Then I drilled holes within the solid iron desk, and bolted down the brand new vise so it was once underneath the mortising bit and sq. to the mortiser’s desk.

The vise steals 5 in. of plunge capability from the mortiser, however I added maximum of that again by means of striking spacers below the submit. One is forged iron, which got here with the system as an adjunct, and the opposite is a 1-3/4-in.- thick, shopmade maple block. For those who lack the accent spacer, you’ll merely make a thicker hardwood block. Both means, you’ll want longer bolts for attaching the submit to the bottom.

The cross-slide vise is a easy repair for a irritating downside. Now I will create best mortises of all sizes, in a long way much less time than prior to, and I glance ahead to the method.
