Almost perfect timing! I am building this rocking chair right now - from your plans - and just finished installing the rockers. While I was doing it I wished you had a video on your process. Fortunately, I muddled through and my method was much like yours - watching all of your previous videos so many times rubbed off I guess. Thank you.
Hi Curtis, Nice video as always. Another chairmaker also took a slightly thinner board than the rockers and attached sandpaper across one face and edge and fine tuned his slots that way. Thanks, Steve First
Hey Curtis, great to see you. Thanks for this, it’s very helpful. I built Pete Gilbert’s rocker a while back and the rockers turned out….okay but not great. I especially appreciated how you make the bottoms flat to the floor, I had difficulty with that. All the best
Ciao Curtis. It's always a great pleasure to see your clips... this one, particularly, made me wonder when I'll have the privilege to build a chair. I will eventually, probably only when I'll be on pension... I am learning from your clips meantime... Thank you so much for taking the time to teach me. Max.
I've been thinking about you the past few weeks. There's a Virtual Railfan camera over at the Chuckey Depot Museum, and whenever I see Jonesboro show up on the VR youtube channel I naturally think Curtis Buchanan. Always a pleasure to see your tips & tricks explanations here.
I just thought of you today!! I was going to come back to try the democratic chair build. I love you're work sir, and I'll be moving to the united states soon, so I hope to see if there's a way I can learn from you.
@@curtisbuchanan7691 sorry what I meant was suppose you already have a Windsor chair. And you wanted to make it into a rocker could you apply the blades? Or is it made to be a Windsor not a Windsor rocking chair
@@ralhmcc47 Ralph, you might be able to. The legs might not line up. The legs might not be large enough in diameter for the rocker slots and you won't be able to use my lay out system with the 1/2" blocks because the legs probably taper.

A joy to see you back on CZcams Curtis. Very happy memories of your first series.

Always a wealth of information, presented in a way anyone can understand
Fantastic video. Thanks for being a constant wealth of information.
I forgot to say that making it the board long enough to reach through both slots while sanding guarantees that the slots are parallel.

thank you
I ordered your plan from the website, can you respond me
What plan did you order? It's easier to communicate through my email.
@@curtisbuchanan7691 thanks for reply. I send email now
Crazy question time, could you attach blades to a Windsor chair???? Just thinking
Yes, actually I am working on a type of windsor in the video. It's just a modern version of one.
@@curtisbuchanan7691 sorry what I meant was suppose you already have a Windsor chair. And you wanted to make it into a rocker could you apply the blades? Or is it made to be a Windsor not a Windsor rocking chair
@@ralhmcc47I suppose it would depend if the rake and splay are aligned?
Just saying.
@@MrLawnmowerman2 That what I was thinking. Because if not would the chair break somewhere? Thanks
