Today I finished making the upright pieces for the seat back, made both armrests, made armrest supports, and mounted the mid-level seat back support. That took a little bit longer than anticipated due to shearing off one of the bolts mounting the left armrest to the back support. I had to remove what was left inside the armrest and then drilled out the armrest and support holes to a slightly larger diameter to avoid repeating that mistake.
I'm quite happy with how things are turning out. The chair is quite comfortable. The only downside is the footprint of the chair is approx 4' long whereas the arbor is only 3' deep. That leaves an extra 1' to figure out what to do with it.
Still to do:
- Mount upright seat backs to mid-level support.
- Mount the upper support.
- Curve the front of the armrests.
- Curve the seat back pieces.
- Evaluate need for a rear leg horizontal support.
- Sand everything.
- Consider applying a water seal to everything.
This looks like great craftsmanship!
