Thanks Joe, my favorite part is the designing of things...wait till you see the models I made on Tuesday night (session 1) 🙂 Ahould be a fun project. Thanks for your kind words, and for watching!
I remember that rocker episode of Rough Cut! I made a Morris chair a few years back and really enjoyed the build. Thanks for sharing your great talents with us!
Hey John, You’re the second architect who wrote to me finding the humor...I’m hoping I didn’t say anything to offend. I would actually think you would be at an advantage being an architect, all Frank Lloyd Wright uncomfortable chairs aside :). My guess is he could have made them comfortable if he wanted too and wasn’t so focused on the aesthetic over comfort in that setting. I can’t wait to get started, just picked up the white oak this morning. Thanks for watching! Tom
Hi Tom, I missed the live stream, I just got done watching you tonight. The craftsman coffee table is a great idea it's going to be enjoyable watching you design and build it. In this session I can see you have the design, some what pictured in your mind already. The slite curve in the legs is a great idea.... I like it. Is the craftsman style all mortis and tenion joinery? And are there screws ever used, such as holding the table top? Looking forward to this project, see you on Tuesday.
Thanks Steve, Yes, it should be a fun one, I’m looking forward to getting started. And for the most part it’s true, for perpendicular joinery the mortise and tenon joint is primary, not always “through” tenons, but various types. And it is always preferred to secure table tops with screws to allow for movement and they certainly did...typically those were the only time screws would be used. Thanks for being part of it! Tom
Yes Jardel, we will be giving it away! I suppose if you win we could ship an unassembled of the same so it would be flatter and probably a little cheaper shipping costs for you. Who knows, we’ll see what happens...😎 Thanks for watching!
