Just finished - decided I needed a new table and chairs for myself.
Table is 44x60 made from 8/4 red oak with a mahogany urethane finish.
Glass is 3/8" smoked plate.

Have never built a chair before - what an experience! And lots of fun
- got to use lot of tools I normally don't, like a spokeshave and
bullnose planes.

All in all a rewarding, fun and learning experience.

Wow, that is very nice. Interesting collection of parts starrting out.
Did you plant the acorn too?

I'm sure you'll get a lot of satisfaction from this project for many years
and probably your grandchildren too, once then inherit it. .


LOL! Nope, just found a good lumber yard in my area that has decent prices.

This was the first time I built something in multiples so I marked each
piece, including the loose tenons. What surprised me the most was that all
the chairs sit squarely on the floor. I didn't have to shim any of the legs.

Fun project.
