I gave a client a price for a cherry dining room table and it looks like she is going to go ahead with it. She is also looking for some “simple chairs.” Does anyone know a good source for plans for dining room chairs? The only ones I’ve made are quite fancy and I’m not sure I want to make 6 more of them.

Jim,
Yesterday I received a copy of Jeff Miller's book on chairs. I was transfixed for half an hour as I scanned it. I noted that it won an award from some outfit as 'Best How-To Book'. I agree.
I was surprised to find at the front of the book, a series of photos of chairs by other furniture builders. (Garret Hack, Michael Fortune, etc.) Great idea.
He offers photos and detailed, woodworker-language, descriptions and pictures of the construction and design process. I highly recommend it.

Hi Frosty,
I bought Jeff's book as well as the FWW book on making and designing chairs. Probably overkill to have both, but sometimes it's helpful to have two slants on a subject.
