starting and stopping

[HowardH]

I'm towards the end of completing two sample Adirondack chairs I've been working on for a few weekends.  I'm glad I don't do this for a living.  Once I get started, I hate to stop.  I could go on well past midnight but I force myself to stop telling myself it will be there tomorrow.  If I had an air conditioned shop, I'd hole up for days.  I started this morning pretty early and finished up about 7:30.  Hopefully, I can get the chair completely assembled and ready to paint tomorrow.  Then I have start on 4 more!  Those should go a lot faster since I will be using composite decking as my chair material.  Prepping real wood takes a long time.  Oh!  BTW, my TS55 was bogging down ripping Ash for my seat backs.  I had the factory blade.  I went to Woodcraft and picked up a Panther blade.  Holy cow!  It went through it like butter.  I'll be leaving that blade on from now on.  [laughing]

Here is the first one:

I'm giving them away to some friends.  I have to paint one burnt orange (Texas grad) and one gold (Southwestern University)

Those look nice.  Can you share photos from the other angles?

 

[HowardH]

sure. I have to go to the BORG (big orange retail giant) tomorrow to get some plastic feet to keep them off a potentially wet ground.  I'm also going to modify the angle of the seat slat transition on those two seat slats so it isn't so pronounced.  You can see quite a few of my woodworking toys in the background of the second picture.  Can't ever have too many! ;D
