Well it's completed, at last.

My chair is just about completed and time for assembly. So I'm just wondering what type of glue I should be using for this. Thank you.
Brian.

I'm just about finished my chair. Time for the hardware. I did not want to use the wooden pins for the back rest. I found this gentlemen that made me a pair of these brackets. The tails on the arms...

Before I vent. Happy New Year to all Creekers. My chair is pretty well done or so I thought,and I'm really ticked. I have discovered that I have the same problem as Ben. The back rest will not fit...

Just wondering although I haven't figured it out. But does anyone know how many board feet of lumber there is in the Morris chair. Thanks.

Thanks for the info Mike. LV does have some,but boy is it expensive. $33.00 for one piece 39 inches long. I happen to be talking with a fellow yesterday. He gave me the name of a company that has all...

Can anyone tell me where I can get some buffard banding. I have lots of it but no two pieces a like. Thank you.

thanks for posting that Jim. The work in that,unbelievable.

I'm not sure if I should post this or not. But I will. I have been involved with bikes and hot rod custom painting for some years. So I thought you guy's may get a chuckle out of this. No I didn't...

Today is the day my steam bent arms come off the bending form. I'll let you know what the results are. Pics to.yipeee. I'll show the steam box set up to. It's a rube glodberg invention,but it sure...

Hi Walt. Glad some people can use that link for the hardware for the chair. Larry is a pretty nice fellow. I kind of like the hardware he manufactures. I will keep the guy's informed about the...

Hi Ben, the steam box is 12"x12" and four feet long. Your going to laugh at this. But I used my wifes pressure cooker. Then ran a hose from the spigot on the top of the lid to the steam box. It has a...

the glass he gave me was 1/8" thick and seemed to be quite strong. I was a little concerned about it snapping while using it. But it didn't. Seemed to be fine. I have a glass cutter and cut some more...

Hi Ben, thanks for the heads up on the tenons (measurements). I was thinking the same thing on the through tenons for the arms. I think I would probably find them to get in the way. I just steam bent...

I was working on my Morris chair today.getting ready to steam bend the arms. An old cabinet maker with about 50 years experience dropped by.a neighbour He saw me working with a scraper. He kind of...

it's time to shape the arms on the chair. I'm not sure which is the best way to go. Laminating or steam bending. What do you pro's suggest. I do have the means to steam bend them. Just not sure if...

Well all Ican say is that my wife was diagnosed with a heart problem and had many many tests done. The end result was her having a stent put in. Then there was the medication after all this. The...

Wow, just beautiful. That will be an heirloom for sure. What are you going to do for the upholstery. I hope mine turns out as half as good. Hope the back is on the mend Walt. Cheers

Thanks Ben for the info. I'll stick to the plans. Yeah I don't know why he made a template.just use the arms as you say. Thanks again,I'll just carry on. Just wanted to be sure.Cheers
Brian.

Maybe one of you experts and straighten me out on something. On the Morris chair the palns call for the upper side rail. (the curved one that fits to the curved arm) The plans call for 2" in width at...

Yikes, that looks as though it could spoil your whole day.

Hi Walt I would like to post some photos,only problem is my wife is away and guess where the camera is. But I will post some. I got the back slats and the form for the arms done to day. I think it...

Well I thought the same thing on BTM. Hard to or a pita to set up and the results were so so. I did a lot of research and decided to jump. So I bought a Steel City unit. Spent the afternoon setting...
