    Thos.Moser Chair

    Thanks for the replies. The seat on my practice chair has a good angle on it. As you mention the seat angle is critical to the comfort of a chair. The back angle is where I screwed up and I appreciate the suggestions. I am checking all the chairs I find to determine the most comfortable...

    Gum as a secondary wood?

    Gum can be a good choice for secondary wood with some reservations. Gum is prone to twist and warp and is known to be moisture sensitive. It will expnad and contract with varying relative humidy so you will need to provide for this movement in your construction. I would be careful and let the...

    Air drying cherry

    Cherry for use in furniture should be 6-8% moisture content. A 40% relative humidity is average for the Carolinas and 6-8% MC in your cherry lumber will maintain dimensional stability. John B.

    Everyone favorite wood glue

    My favorite glue is Titebond Original. I would use Titebond II or Titebond III if I needed exterior performance. I would not use a urethane for any application. The Titebond Liquid Hide glue is great if your are working with a long assembly time or think you may want to disassemble the part...

    Jewelery Chest,Cherry,Rosewood, Ebony

    Yes, It came out of my own imagination. I had some time to think about it before I started cutting and that time really helped. I tend to build without drawings so I need to spend a great deal of time thinking a project through before I start making long boards short.

    Best glue for bent laminating

    Skintknuckle has the best advice. Fortunately you are gluing fir which is extremely easy to glue and has a minimum spring back memory on curved parts. The primary concern I would have for your bent lamination is using a glue with sufficient open time to accomodate assemby. Titebond comes in...

    New Shop

    Great looking shop. Sounds like you did your homework before you started building. The only thing better than a dedicated workshop is adding just one more tool. Congratulations John B.

    Jointing Boards

    This process works equally well when use use a hand jointer plane. In fact, when using a hand tool for jointing it is the only way to get a uniform and tight joint. John
