An heirloom rocking chair where beautiful curves and fine details go hand-in-hand with amazing comfort
Building a rocking chair is a great achievement for woodworkers and this particular chair is both beautiful and comfortable, it’s a chair you’ll want to sit in every day and pass down to your children.
Frank draws on his 30 years of experience working with hand tools and power tools to help you build this chair, all the while teaching you valuable woodworking techniques that can be used throughout other areas of your woodworking. The skills that you will take away from this class will enable you to build a set of dining room chairs if you choose.
This six-day class will take you, step-by-step, through the process of handcrafting your own Craftsman-style Rocking Chair. Each part of the process is broken down into small, manageable steps so that you can concentrate on mastering one task at a time before moving on to the next. In addition to showing you how you will also get to understand underlying concepts and how each step fits into the big picture.
Key Learning Points
You will learn both traditional and modern-day building techniques and make a piece that lasts for generations.
It is a great project to sink your teeth into after taking a Beginner Woodworking, Handtool, and/or Table Making class. It’s really going to help bring everything you’ve learned and move it forward into a new type of furniture.
If you are flying in, work can be shipped home, unassembled using a large flat box (ie, bicycle box), and potentially checked as an extra bag.
Materials Needed: Fabric for the upholstered seat – we will provide you with more info closer to the date.
