I should have been posting here but forgot. I’m taking a chair making class in Maine with Peter Galbert! I’m on day 3, so here’s a picture from each day #woodworking

Day 4 #woodworking

Day 5. Most parts go back in the kiln so they will be dry before they go into their mortises, and swell as they come up to typical humidity, locking them in place. Note also the requisite blood sacrifice has been made. #woodworking

@frew

Looking good.

That chair behind to the right, however, with the wraparound twisted armrests, looks uncomfortable if you leaned left or right. Maybe it’s just the photo.

What are all those curious pieces leaning up against the yellow cabinet in the back?

@wedge @frew I was wondering about those too. I am curious if they're some kind of folding shaving horse.

@amenonsen @wedge the helix chair with that crazy bend is inexplicably comfortable. I was sure it would not be but it really is.

Those things in the back are bending forms for creating the spindles in the backrest of the chair in progress.
