About this Workshop
This tall chair builds on the comfortable Number Nine dining chair. With the additional height comes a footrest and additional structural members. The chair students will make can be customized to fit most counter or bar heights. This chair involves mortise and tenon construction throughout, with a coopered seat and back to make it wonderfully strong and comfortable. During the week students will make the patterns so they can build more once they return home.
Key Points
- Through wedged mortise and tenon construction
- Anthropometrics of chair comfort
- Coopering using the bandsaw and shop made shaping tools
- Cutting three dimensional curves on the bandsaw
- Safe method for making compound cuts on the table saw
