New Chair Maker's Workbench Coming Soon




I have just completed yet another chair making class last week. They made the classic sack back chair. Mark and Leon were extremely focused and finished really fast on Friday afternoon. The class was scheduled through Saturday but we didn't need the time. Their chairs came out very high quality and ready for finish. The class did make realize how important a new bench would be with multiple students. The timing of Jameel's new classic leg vise was perfect. I ordered one today and will start designing a smaller bench specifically for the chair maker. More to come.

  2. Hey Glen, yes time is always an issue with me too. I'm selecting the wood and vise is in transit to be here tomorrow. Should be fun!

  3. Greg are you doing the turnings, or are you having the students do them? Bob

  4. Bob, I am doing the turnings but do turning demos and sharpening of turning tools if requested. I do individual turning classes on occasion which are usually by request only.
