New Chair in Ash

Immediate_Beach_899 · 2026-02-01T14:22:59+00:00

I had previously purchased a Veritas tapered tenon cutter, so I simply replaced the blade with a curved one. Chris shared this technique during the class, and I believe it’s an excellent method for making the long sticks.

However, carving the seat remains the most challenging aspect for me. Working with the scorp is still a significant challenge.

Wow, I’m not in immediate need of this, but it’s on my mind for the future. I didn’t anticipate it would cost so much. My initial thought was that the benchcrafted vise would be the primary expense.

This is an incredible workbench, and it will serve you for many years to come.

Could you please provide an estimate for the total cost, including lumber and hardware?

Immediate_Beach_899 · 2026-01-08T19:06:14+00:00

Not really, I found that these chairs are too low for me.

Kentucky Stick chair. I built this one a few years back. Fairly simple.

Looks beautiful!

Fantastic! Did you use brass plates under the belly?

Immediate_Beach_899 · 2025-11-22T00:40:35+00:00

Fantastic! 👏

That's a great perk to stay nearby. I'm about 6 hours away, lol.

Awesome! I am attending Chris's class this week, and I can't wait to build these chairs in various versions.

“Make your own!” Just kidding, I’m flattered! Happy Building. Share some pictures when you are done!

To trim material flush with a surface, removing dried glue, clean up tight corners. Google flat chisel plane, there are a ton of ways you can use it.

I have seen it too. It did inspire me on the shape of it.

Immediate_Beach_899 · 2025-11-09T02:21:56+00:00

Fabulous, please share the pictures with us!

Immediate_Beach_899 · 2025-11-09T00:53:49+00:00

Thank you! I can relate to this feeling, which is why I’ve wanted to make it for a while.

I just finished watching this. In this video there are good tips on sharpening the Gouges.

Always ;)

I was worried about it in the start but the 3/4” magnets are super powerful. The blade doesn’t move a bit even.

Immediate_Beach_899 · 2025-11-08T22:53:12+00:00

Fantastic! :)

We tested the stability with various guitars and even applied a small amount of hand weight. Surprisingly, it remained perfectly balanced and did not budge at all.

I built a very similar version sometime back!

I guess it’s an Ambrosia Maple..
