Hi David,
All metals, except gold, oxidize. This oxidation must be removed before you can get a good weld, brazed, or soldered joint. All you have to do is to use a stainless steel brush and...
Hi, I am trying to solder aluminum with a propane torch. I am unable to do it. I am using .063" 6061 aluminum. I have tried silver solder, Al-3, and Muggyweld Super Alloy 5. I have only gotten...
Hi Josh!
Thanks for the positive comment. I use 8/4 lumber. And I think there is about 45 board feet in this chair. This is the first chair of this design. So being aware of that, it took me...
Hi John,
If you would like to make this chair, I would be more than happy to help you get it made. I have never done this before, and I don't know what it would entail, but let me know if you...
Ha Ha, that's funny. :D
Check out this video.

Hi Prashun,
Well I can't say that I have any kind of really artistic process to designing. I have taken some college and graduate level architecture classes. So I learned something there,...
Hi Jim,
No, it is easy to get out of. It isn't like a Adirondack chair. When sitting, a persons knees are not higher than their hips. Pete
Hi Billy,
Although the chair tilts back a bit when it is unoccupied, it doesn't when a person sits in it. Everyone who has sat in it has remarked at how comfortable it is. When a person sits in...
Hi Everyone,
I thought I would post some photos of a rocker that I made a while ago. As you know it seems like everyone tries not to copy another persons design. Instead, one tries to put their...
Hi Everyone,
I have been trying to make a chair that doesn't have a crest rail or you might call it a shoulder rail. Sometime ago someone posted photos and text about a chair they made that...
I would like to inform all of you who have helped me that I recieved the new part yesterday. I replaced it last night and I can now say that the saw is working as good as ever. Thanks again for...
Thanks everyone for all of the useful information. The part is indeed bent. It doesn't look like there is a crack any where that I can see. I went to your post Glen and saw that Iturra has a...
thanks Willie! I will take a closer look to see if there is a crack. I didn't notice one before but I didn't look for one either. Pete
Hi Everyone!
I am having a problem with my Jet 14" bandsaw. It just started today. I always loosen the tension on the blade each day when I am finished using the saw. Today when I started...
Thanks guys for all of the recommendations. I will need to look online a bit and go to HD before I make a decision. I sure hope Wetzler comes through. Oh, what's the throat depth on the Bessey...
I need to buy some more F clamps. I have also seen these called bar clamps, or quick clamps. These look like the capital letter F. I only need them to be about twelve inches by 3 inches. They...
Hi Doug, Shaping the chair parts is the most time consuming job of making the chair. For me all of the shaping was done by hand. For the back slats, chairs legs, and back posts, I started with a...
Thanks for the kind words Vince. Although I have no intentions of selling this chair, I have thought about what it cost to make. The class itself was a $1000.00. The walnut for the chair was...
One more photo.
Well it took me almost two years to finish this chair. I am extremeely happy with the way it turned out. It's very comfortable and I am sure I will be useing it for the rest of my life. Even...
Hi Gordon, I came up with a crazy idea as I read/looked at your post. Lets say you cut two 1/8 inch or maybe 1/4 inch thick strips of oak that are a little wider and a little longer than the...
I think the common sense approach to this is to ask the questions. Which would make you a happier person? Which makes more money? Which one makes you whatever is best for you? Then I would chose...
Hi Raymond, I suggest you visit or join Yahoo's rocking chair group. One of the members made that rocker. He asked a lot of questions while he was making it. It turned out really nice. Here is...
