Hey guys,
Need some recommendations - I want to build a nice rocking chair... The wife needs something nice to rock the babies in.... Unfortunately, the "Boughten" sorts are either permanently upholstered (AKA Spitup catcher) or Horribly uncomfortable... or crazy expensive.
What's your...

Hello All,
My latest project is a Rocking horse I am making for our Baby Girls' first Christmas. It is being made out of Maple, Cherry and Jaboda with a Classic Cherry Stain. I would appreciate all of your advice on the best finish for this project. What would be the best for look, and...

Doug Robinson and I have been "semi" working on building a pair of Hal Taylor style rocking chairs. I say "semi" as we have been VERY slow, and haven't done much to them in QUITE a while. They are challenging, and following Hal's plans are at times a challenge.

Alrighty then,
After my previous jigfest/what am I building post, most of you guessed correctly that all the jigs were in fact for a rocker. The rocker in question is a Hal Taylor plan rocker with some changes to both his front legs and his arms.

I have a set of plans and templates for an Adirondack chair but the LOML wants rockers. Does anyone know the radius for the rocking rail on an Adirondack rocker? I figure I can build the chairs and add the rocker rails. Thanks in advance for your help.
