Dining room carver chairs - Take 2

[derekcohen]

Derek, great looking work and thanks for your details of the process, both in photos and explanation.
You said you did not use a template for the back. How did you cut the angles for the two joins on the back rail. Did you set those cuts up somehow on your table saw or bandsaw, or did you cut them with a handsaw? Curious how your got those angles to mate so well. (You may have stated it earlier and I may have missed it.)

Rich, I did indeed post about this earlier. No problem ...

Calculate the angles with the legs ...



Saw ...



Test fit ..



Rough angle at the rear. Also position for dowels ..



Shape the rear, now now you are in a position to mark the sides ...



Lots of shaping follows !!!

Regards from Perth
