- A draft of an introduction to a video series I'm working on about making one of Jennie Alexander's post & rung chairs. I've got the video about 1/2 done as of now (Dec 29, 2022) and will announce it on my blog when it's ready.

Interesting intro, Peter. I look forward to seeing the completed video series!
This was very informative. Thank you for sharing Peter. I find it interesting that JA started with turning her chairs when she first started out. All the best in 2023.
I like it a lot.... I's so interesting and quite relaxing listening you talking ... thank you Mr. Follansbee....
Very nice overview of the fine details overlooked by so many. A nice tribute too.
Finished the book last year and look forward to seeing you build one!
Looking forward to the build..just got some nice red oak to try building a chair out of.
Looks like it is going to be a wonderful series. Has anyone ever seen one of these with arms?
Yes, I can hear the thin slat when you slide your hand over the wood; it was alarming sound to my ear! When you twirl the chair around, I can see/hear the lightness;I bet that chair weighs between 3 and 5 pounds!
Great intro, funny I purchased JA's book just 4 days ago from LAP, I look forward to the series. Here in Europe, I am wondering how to get some hickory bark strips. Is there any other species one can get it from, or anyone knows of a good source in the US? Thanks
Hi Peter - I followed the video link here from your blog post. I can't wait to see the full series - what wood(s) are you using for the build? I've recently started riving and shaving an ash log for making my first JA chair. Looking forward to hopefully having your series to reference soon.
white oak posts and slats - hickory rungs. Ash is a favorite of mine as well. JA hated it. No reason given other than "it's not white oak."
nice
Six chairs in a summer? Can't eat unless you can bang out six+ a week. See Clissett, Gimson, Neal, et al.
big respect to you, however intro very long, up to 6' 30". Thank you very interesting!
I posted on my blog the other day that I was a windbag. "Introduction" is not the best word to describe this. It's an in-depth look at this chair & how it came about.
@@MrFollansbee still respectful.
