About this Class

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
