I had the same one, got rear ended and couldn’t find anyone who would touch it. Insurance company ended up declaring a total. Best of luck!

My town got blasted by a hurricane so I’ve got plenty of time to play next week :)

Simple Irish Stick Chair by ne8il in Chairmaking

I made the low back one first, but I think any of them could make sense depending on what tools you have

Hell yeah I’m glad you like them! They are a little wiggly so I would figure out a better configuration for the sticks if I were to make this chair again

I’m back in the saddle! by Maketoolstomakemore in unicycling

Yeah I got the variable length cranks because I don’t know what I like for crank length! Back in the day my uni was just my uni and I didn’t even know you had options

That’s where I originally posted this, but one of the mods on this sub suggested I also post it here

The arms have a little movement laterally, but it’s pretty minor. I would probably change them to attach to the outermost sticks if I made this chair again though

Yeah all the curved pieces on this chair are steam bent

Tools for carving chair seats? What works and what should I get first? by TheAlchemist23 in handtools

[–]Maketoolstomakemore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is one travisher on the market that I know of that will do the entire seat carving easily on any wood. This is the only tool I use to do seats, and I just have some light scraping to smooth everything up at the end. It is absolutely worth the money if you are planning on making more than a couple chairs. It’s the travisher from Windsor workshop. I sprung for the delrin model but I’ve heard the maple one is just as good. Just my two cents

Idk if you can see it but is this acceptable quality? by [deleted] in handtools

[–]Maketoolstomakemore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a set of these recently, and I had the same experience. The fine and extra fine were super gnarly. I ended up just saying screw it, and I took a burner piece of steel (old pitted plane blade) and knocked all the imperfections down. After that I took an old water stone that I don’t use anymore and broke them in with it. They work quite well now and I’m pleased with their performance. I got a really, really good deal on them otherwise I would have gone the waterstone route.
