I resist making jigs like I resist going to the dentist. So when I do break down and build a jig, it’s going to be something with a dial indicator and lasers. No, that’s a lie. It’s going to be…

To keep my hand planes and chisels razor-sharp, I like to use a wheeled honing guide. It works great, but I wanted a way to quickly square the blade in the guide and to set the correct blade extension for the bevel angle. The result is the acrylic angle-setting jig shown.

It's been said that chairs are the single hardest piece of furniture to build. Many woodworkers shy away from the challenge, but the ones who bravely (or stupidly!) attempt chair making often wind up with chairs that are either uncomfortable or poorly designed. Everyone of us has had a chair with stretchers that have loosened up, or with joints that have failed. In fact - a lot of people call me to repair those chairs! Chairs take more abuse than just about any other piece of furniture in your home. People tip backward or rock on two legs, or they stand up on the stretchers, or slam their bodies down into the seat - whatever. They get abused. Not to mention the design aspect of chairs – they have to be comfortable or you won't want to sit on them, right? So – there is a lot going when you make a chair. I've been without a set of dining room chairs for a few years - so it's finally time to build some. I have so many designs floating around in my head that I can't decide which one I want to make. And - truth be told, I get bored building the same thing, over and over again. So I came up with an idea - I'm going to build my chairs in sets of two. Four different designs. No boredom. Problem solved. My first design is going to be a solid wooden chair, as opposed to an upholstered one. I love solid wooden chairs, similar to the ones Thomas Moser makes. They're comfortable, they look great, and there's something pure about them only being constructed of wood. No padding. No fabric. Nothing but wood. A while back, Lupe made a shop stool after seeing the video made by Scott Morrison. There were a lot of nice features in the stool but I didn't like the curved legs, nor some of the design details that were included in this piece. Still - I decided to adapt this design to make my first set of two chairs. Lupe scooped her seat by hand, purchasing a small hand-held grinder and a Holey Galahad, which is a grinding device. Carving the seat took about three or four hours, and made a lot of dust. More dust than I wanted to deal with, that's for sure. Luckily, someone sent her a link to a chair scooping video on the web. She ended up building the jig for seat scooping, and demonstrated its usage at the last Sin City Woodworkers meeting held at my shop. It's a terrific device, and- I don't have any clue how someone could've invented this - but I'm glad they did. So I borrowed the jig, and got down to business. Here's the seat blank made in solid 8/4 ash – it's lovely. I cut the notches at the corners that will later allow me to attach the legs. And here's the jig. This is one of the dustiest procedures I've ever seen in the shop, but it's at least it's not as bad as carving the seat with the Galahad. Luckily, Lupe was there to run the vacuum for me, as well as film my progress. Each seat took about ten minutes for me to scoop, and I'll tell you - in all my years of woodworking, I'm not sure I've ever seen anything so slick. This device is screwed onto the bottom of your seat blank it is used to control the seat while you maneuver it over the blade. How did someone come up with this? It. Is. perfect. I'll say this - even though the scooping only took about 10 minutes per seat, it really took a toll on my back. For some reason, the motion of flipping this wood around on the saw put a big strain on my lower back. Thanks for the video work, Lupe! Time for a break - I needed some Advil and some sustenance. After all the cutting was done, I checked the machine to ensure my blade was still up at 90°, and reset everything back to normal. Here's what my gears looked like inside the Sawstop. I cut a couple of sample back leg stretchers, to check the back angle. Most reference books on seating will tell you that a comfortable seat angle is anywhere from 5 to 30°. I cut these at 15° and tested the angle. It was pretty comfortable, so this is the angle that I'm going to use for these two chairs. My next big decision will be whether I'm going to cut the curve in the back, or if I'm going to do a bent lamination. But for now - I'm just going to take a break and ponder this. Stay tuned.

Q. I was making a three-legged stool with round through-tenons attaching the legs to the seat. When I drove a wedge into one of the slotted tenons, the seat split. I was able to repair it, but I don’t want to risk more damage. How do I get a tight wedged joint without splitting the seat again? Carl BensonCasper, Wyomin
