Having made the templates for all the main components for the full scale model (which took bloomin' ages, BTW), the next job was making the real thing. Easy, right!

As all the frame components are cut from solid maple, the first step was to make a series of jigs to cut them out using the spindle moulder. This was no mean feat, given the length of the back leg - and quite a job manouevering it around the machine without banging into either the wall(!) or one of the many piles of wood stacked up in the machine room.



It turned out I've enough Maple to make two chairs - one with arms and a second without. A bit more work in the finishing but at this stage, once the jigs are made, cuttung the components for both chairs at the same time takes no more time.
