I'm sure I could have managed those 4 cuts without jigs, but you just can't beat them for repeatability. When they're just made from scraps, all the more reason to make them. Funny you should mention a rocker - that's been on my mind lately. Perhaps a future project if no cats will be harmed. :)
The more I looked at the scoop in your previous post, the more I thought about manta rays, and I wondered if more organic shapes (possibly something inspired by a sea creature or plant) might suit the chair better. The curved legs feel very appropriate.
Thanks, Ron. You know, I think I'd make better progress on design if I was more skillful at making those kind of observations. You've got the knack.
Aussie Larks commented about 3 hours ago And if I'd read 1 & 2 I'd have known the answer to my previous question. Who'd have thunk it, a hot tub corner. As I said clever......
Thanks, Aussie. Now that I've started, I just have to make at least one of those salvaged hot tub pieces into a chair. Maybe a mix of patience and OCD. :)
HokieKen commented 42 minutes ago Thanks for the write up Ross! It's really interesting to get a peek into other people's design processes 😃 I really like the chair you chose for inspiration. Looking forward to your finished take on it!
Thanks, Ken. Yeah, that Kagan chair is something - only 50 ever produced, I read. It definitely got my gears turning.
