Gee guys, kinda nice seeing my site mentioned without me prodding anyone
to slip it in their posting. I learned the chairmaking from a guy who
learned from Malo*f. I have changed a few things that make them a
little more comfortable and hopefully are not copies of his chairs
anymore. They also don't cost $30,000 ;*).


Okay, I gotta ask. Assuming you don't send the wood sailing through the
bandsaw at odd angles like Maloof did, how are you accomplishing the same
thing?

I remember seeing in the video how he cut the seat pieces at slight angles
to get the rough seat shape. One of those great ideas I never thought of
but seems quite logical now that I've seen it. :_)

But can I assume you're using things like a powered carving tool and
travisher to shape the seat?
