Sellers Home Rocking Chair: Episode 9
The various elements of the seat become very apparent in this episode.
The various elements of the seat become very apparent in this episode.
Taking the angular rectangular components to create the organic shapes, Paul walks you through the steps carefully using the techniques he has developed for his specific rocking chairs.
The actual rockers are a major part of the rocking chair and this video walks you through all the details to create the process.
In this episode, we finesse the connecting tenon to the mortise joint of the seat, to the posts.
Paul came up with this concept for joining the frames to the seat in a unique way and enjoyed the whole process. The layout is critical and then too the cutting.
The bent slats for the back support make the chair incredibly comfortable, so in this episode, we make the former that allows us to create the ‘S’ shaped slats. Paul walks you through the steps, from creating the hand-made slats all the way through to ‘inline’ tenon cutting and fitting on curved pieces.
All of the techniques Paul uses in this part of making are his own uncopied versions. He developed them as he made them in the saddle whilst at a gallop and then a sprint. The end result is what you will have when you reach this point. We hope you love the sprint part!
The layout can be the greatest challenge to keep the attention of the woodworker. In this video, we cover all of the complexities to unite them with the spirit creativity often demands.
This presentation is a landmark episode for all of us. It’s the first episode in the first series on the first piece for Sellers Home, our new program for teaching people how to design and make a houseful of furniture.
This is the first design for the houseful of furniture we are designing and making for sellershome.com. It has been an exciting development and from here on you will be able to follow the whole design process from beginning to end on through to the installation. The journey has already begun!
