Are you interested in making chairs?
Chairmaking is a fascinating branch of woodworking with many special considerations. In addition to aesthetics, a good chair needs to be comfortable and strong enough to withstand the forces and loads to which it will be subjected. Chairmaking topics range from use of templates, angled joinery, curved parts, steam bending and many others.
We are exploring the idea of a Special Interest Group, or SIG, for chair makers. This would be a forum dedicated to the building of chairs where we can share ideas, learn new techniques, and help each other with projects and challenges.
Whether you are just getting started, already building chairs, or just interested in building chairs, we want this group to support your needs and interests.
November 12 TOPIC: You make a mortise or tenon
Program
Topic: Recent meetings have demonstrated mortise and tenon joints by hand, router and table saw. Chairs can be daunting projects with angled joints. Come try out chair-joinery techniques yourself. Experienced members: please come help others try something new!
Show and Tell - bring your projects or plans to share
Hands-on - mortise and tenon making (your choice of hosted options)
Post meeting - no host snack and conversation at the Lucky Lab
