Very nice, I am going to make a couple or 4 of these. Were the plans provided detailed enough and accurate? How long did it take to complete the project? Anything to watch out for?
Man that is nice! I'm in the middle of making two for myself. Takes a while to build the forms and all of the templates but I am hoping it goes smoothly after that. I have all of the curved slats and the arms finished and am getting ready to assemble the first one.
Any hints on things to watch out for?
Once again, nice job!

Nice work GoJoe! I couldn't find where else to share this, so I'll do it here - I recently purchased the print version of the project plans and it has a few errors. I spoke with the editor that did this plan, and he acknowledged the error. In the article, the leg length should be 44 1/2". The 1:1 print plan has it at 47". I've also noticed that the arm form height is incorrect. After I made mine, it is several inches taller than my leg plies (it's not a big deal). Other than these errors, I do like the quality of the print plan.
I am in the process of making several of these chairs. I made 2 of the seat/back rest slat forms to speed up the gluing process. So far, so good!

Congratulations! Very Nice.
Did you build from the article in the Magazine or also buy the plans?
I am making my cutlist now and it seems difficult to get accurate measurements just from the drawings in the mag.
