Let's make a stick chair - part one

This is the introduction to making a stick chair and includes making and shaping the legs.

Wow that jig for turning tapered tenons is genius! You could make another jig to make precise straight tenons too I suppose! 👏🏻

[@crouchvalewoodcraft]

Yes, you could make it any shape you like, within reason 👍

Great video rob, even though you have taught me how to make chairs I have already learnt something from this video, can’t wait for part 2

[@crouchvalewoodcraft]

Cheers, Lewis. Part 2 is nearing completion 👍👍

This is definitely beyond my skill level, but I'm really enjoying watching your process . I have made a leaf stencil, though ready to make the privacy screen from your last project. 😊

[@crouchvalewoodcraft]

Thank you. Thanks for watching. It's great that you are making a screen after watching my other video. Cheers 🥂

What did you rub on your planer? When planing the legs

[@crouchvalewoodcraft]

I used a piece of candle wax to lubricate the plane some. Works a treat. Thanks for watching 👍

Good video Rob. Is there any wood you wouldn't recommend using for a stick chair?

[@crouchvalewoodcraft]

Thanks Vic. I've not used anything that I would never use again but then haven't used lots of different woods. I have made some seats using larch which can leak resin in hot weather, which isn't ideal. But any straight grained, strong, hardwood is fair game.
