17. Chamfering the Back Edge of the Seat and Boring Holes in Posts for Crest Rail

Curtis demonstrates how to chamfer the back edge of the seat with a drawknife and also how to bore the holes in the posts for the crest rail on the Democratic Chair.

I really like this chair and the concept of keeping the tooling simple.

Where to buy your drawings? I'm from Russia. Such chairs should appear in our country! This is the best I've seen in my life!

Curtis are you ever going to do that beautiful Mantis chair or is that a secret 🤫

[@drekowski]

How far in do you mark for the back edge chamfer? I'd have guessed around 3/16" and a 45° angle?
