   I think I’m missing something… Tom cuts the legs to about 1/16th wider than the finished dimensions on each side and then clamps it in the jig which has been built using the finish dimensions of the legs. One would think that this would end up having the other side a bit too narrow to trim when he moves it to the other side of the guide?

   While the front edge of the jig is routed exactly to the pattern, the back-stops with the clamps on the first edge are not a true reference. Those stops only matter on the second edge. So give yourself a little extra wiggle room on the first edge and you should be fine.

   Those patterns really come in handy with a project like this, where you will be making multiple copies.
   White oak is great to work with, too!

   On a continuing note, how would you modify this design for an end chair(one with arms)? That would be required to complete the set. Looking forward to the plans becoming available!

   Hi Guy, when you make the jig for shaping the legs, the first reference stop is far enough back to leave the excess on the rear of the leg.

   The second side of the jig has the reference stop at the correct distance to machine the leg to final dimension.......Rod.

   Still looking for the plans. They would be essential to build the templates and jig. Wife wants 6 chairs.
   Are they coming soon?

   Are plans available? A pattern for the back legs would be very helpful. Thanks, great show!

   That is really an outstanding looking chair. I would pay good money for detailed plans that could be made full size...

    I once saw a trick to get more out of a board by gluing the first cutoff piece on the opposite side of the board. You get a wider board and if it's wide enough, you could get 4 legs from the same board.

    I've made the chairs and am almost to glue-up. My question is: do I install dowels during glue-up, or after joints have dried? Thank you
