Aircraft Carrier Class. I wonder how much it weighs?

That is HEAVY! I think a large shop would almost be a requirement, you
are never going to want to move it once it has been placed.

I bought it and put it in my shop. It fits quite nicely:

You wouldn't be the owner of that out of square foundation in MT, would
you?

Cheers,

Love the picture on page 4 of the pdf showing fingertips resting on the
"Circular Safety Cylinder" (cutting head). I'm sure it is safer than a
square head, but I don't think that picture would ever be published
these days.

I was looking for a 16".

There was a 20" Oliver in Houston about 5-6 months ago, for about $2K. The guy said someone offered $1500. I thought about it for a few weeks, but was hesitant for one that large. I suppose I could have asked if he'd take $1700 or $1800, if I had considered buying it. There's been a time or two when I thought to call and ask if it's still available.

It's been a while since I've posted: The cypress chairs are slow going. Hand hewing the parts is a lot harder and time consuming than I bargained for, but they are getting there. Using shaving horse, draw knives, scorps and chisels on dry/salvaged wood.... despite being cypress (generally soft wood), the carving is not nearly as easy as with green wood. I have 4 chairs at about 75% complete. The fifth chair is essentially not started, yet. They are heavy, so I've been trying to shave off as much bulk wood as possible.

I don't think I'll be doing another project as this, at least not multiple pieces in one project.... lots of work. But I wanted to do a project using only hand tools. This kind of work is for younger folks. I'm liking the chairs, though. I think they'll turn out pretty good.
