Je ne connaissais pas le Black Limba, mais il est très joli. Je vais devoir voir à quel prix je peux l'obtenir ici à Denver.

You showed up on the woodworking feed, so now you've got to be a wood worker! You can actually get started very simply without a huge space or tool investment. Check out Rex Kruger on youtube, he has a whole playlist called "woodworking for humans"

I think this is the way I'll be going. Rex Kruger has a video on making one I'll likely copy. Just need to source a good screw. (No pun intended)

Uffda, that's a kick in the pants. Seems like a perfect reason to make chairs then!

What's wrong with the Windsor? (Not that you need a reason to make a great chair)

The shoe is perfectly proportioned for that flair, this is awesome!

WileyX is a brand famous for work rated perscription glasses, I'd recommend those.

I hadn't really thought of Omni wheels. I like your point!

I'm not disagreeing, but now I'm super curious. What are the reinventions you are thinking of?

Kinda cunning, don't you think?

This is fantastic! Can't wait to see it.

Badass! Did you do the design yourself?

Going full windsor on this chair?

Planning a trip or two back to MN this summer, it's getting a bit more complicated now that I'm thinking we need to drive every time.

Love the crisp finger joints!

Yeah, I think that's where I'm going to go for this project at least. I found an old guide on various shooting boards and there is one they refer to as a donkey-ear. Seems like a good strategy is to cut the rabbet and then plane the miter in with one of these.

I'll have to look into that, cheers! I haven't heard of a miter Jack vise but I'm still transitioning from power tools. I briefly considered dovetails, but I've got continuous grain on this. Are mitered DTs essentially double blind?

I'm doing this with continuous grain on some walnut, but I'll consider splines. Some cherry or maple might be fun to pop the corners. Cheers!

Wonder if it isn't relieved enough on the bottom? You might take a de-burring tool to the backside and open up the holes, maybe that would make it usable.

Don't, seriously. It's pretty damn terrible. There is a vulture article in it with some summaries, but.. I don't recommend it.

A draw knife, of course! I'm going to be haunted by this for a bit. Is this a technique you developed, or is there a source you can point me towards?

This is fantastic! Did you turn the legs? The facets are amazing and also seem like a huge pain to do so well.

I have run into that too! My solution has been to keep a sheet of blotting paper in my journal to set my hand on as I write.

Intarsia and tattoo designs? This is great!

I've enjoyed watching your journey on this. (It's been coming up on the woodworking feed) Remember that perfect is the enemy of good, especially for a project with so many steps. You've got this!

Oh boy, that'd be great. This is my current rabbit hole to explore but I get very lost trying to tell the difference between various eras and styles. At this point I'm just doing a deep dive on each movement I can find. Turns out you can read the OG craftsman for free through the Internet.

These are all fabulous books, but I wouldn't say they provide much of a general overview. If you get one from that list go for the anarchist design book. It's a great place to start on early vernacular furniture. If you find the general book from the OP I'd also love to hear about it.
