The chair blog: Steaming girt arm bows
http://woodability.blogspot.com/2012/03/steaming-girt-arm-bows.html
Green wood furniture making. Wednesday, 28 March 2012. Steaming girt arm bows. After several weeks in the making, I've finally got together my new rig for steam-bending arm bows. It's based on the method developed by James Mursell, and does away with the need for several guys and girls huffing, puffing and sweating away to bend the bow blank around the jig. Instead, all the bending force is provided by a winch that pulls the bending strap and blank around the jig. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The chair blog: Adzing
http://woodability.blogspot.com/2011/09/adzing.html
Green wood furniture making. Monday, 19 September 2011. Adzing out a chair seat is by turns my favourite and least favourite part of chairmaking - favourite when it goes right, least favourite when it doesn't. Either way, it's also very hard work. I favour the old-fashioned tool-between-the-legs method (not as rude as it sounds), which can put a lot of strain on the back after a while. If you've been fairly uniform with the depth of your cuts in the first stage, you should end up with some fairly smooth ...

Green wood furniture making. Friday, 16 September 2011. This is the first post of my new blog, which will contain musings on the craft of green wood chair making.

The chair blog: Bodging in Brixton
http://woodability.blogspot.com/2012/03/bodging-in-brixton.html
Green wood furniture making. Thursday, 29 March 2012. Last Saturday I ran a fun little workshop for Brixton's Transition Town group. They've developed a really interesting spin-off project called the Brixton Remakery. After approaching Hannah Lewis, who runs the Remakery, I was invited to run one of a series of workshops they've been organising over March to give local people taster experiences in new skills. The gritty urban environment seemed an incongruous setting for a craft that has such rural conno...

The chair blog: Cherry rocks!
http://woodability.blogspot.com/2012/05/taster-of-batch-of-chairs-im-currently.html
Green wood furniture making. Friday, 4 May 2012. A taster of the batch of chairs I'm currently working on for the Fisherton Mill Gallery in Salisbury's Out of the Wood. Exhibition coming up in June. Still, the overall effects are really pleasing, I think, and it works well with the grey hemp seat. If anyone's interested in the exhibition, I'll be demo-ing there on Saturday 9 June. Hope to see you there. 4 May 2012 at 15:15. 28 August 2013 at 00:14. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
