   Awesome genecoder. I started seriously working with wood when I was 12. You sound like you know what your doing with wood if you're already making log furniture. Do you have any pics of work? I'm sure there will be a lot of us in awe.

   Welcome aboard and invite your freinds. I'm tired of being the youngest guy here. : )

   coder,

   Im assuming that you are trying to attach files per the button at the bottom.  It's a 3 step process for each file/pic, i.e. Browse, Upload then Done when you have Uploaded all the files/pics.  Also, when Uploading (Step 2) wait for the progress bar at the bottom of the dialogue box to complete and the file appears up near the top.

   Oh yes, and a hearty welcome to Knots!

   Regards,Bob @ Kidderville Acres

    

   A Woodworkers mind should be the sharpest tool in the shop!

   Excellent work genecoder! I see you've mastered the mortise and tenon joint on the front and back of the chair. Do you use a special tool or do you turn the piece on the late to form the tenon?

   I have a special tool called Tenon cutter made by Vertas. But i do have a lathe which i love to practice on.

   Genecoder:

   Get yourself a copy of Irfanview -- a free graphics program -- on the web. Resize your pics to about 25% of their current size. Them hewmongous files are gonna pizz of some of the dial-uppers around here.

   G,

   Perhaps the natural next step from the log-based stuff toward fine furniture might be via one or more of the green woodworking traditions?  The tools are simple ones; and you may have some already - carving axe, froe, spokeshave etc..  The processes are also "primitive" but can produce quite refined articles.

   Maybe a ladderback chair?  Maybe some bowl carving?

   You must tell us what styles of furniture you yearn to make....?
