I spent a few hours on gluing up another arm on my chair and I cut the back braces to fit. I still need to cut the shoulders at the top of the braces and get the spindles to fit properly in the headrest, but we are making progress! I am coming down the home stretch on this one now, should be just a matter of a couple weekends and I'll have it spit shined and in a gallery. First photo below is the arm I glued up last-night.

Next picture is the chair with both arms installed, obviously there is a ton of sculpting on the arms and other parts of the chair before it's ready for finish.

Next picture is the back brace dry fit, the bottoms are inserted into the seat but the tops are out of the headrest, I need to shoulder cut the tops and give them a nice top design. Then the top spindles get a 3/16" roundover and a fine sanding to fit into the bottom headrest holes. Afterwards the arms are sculpted into the legs and the rear joints and the back braces are in, it's time for the rockers and we are almost done. Thanks for looking!

It be nice to have clamps that did not rust with our climate here. The trade-off of living on the Keys-

Cheers John!

I know exactly what you mean Captain. I was raised in a beach area, we virtually lived next to the ocean for the majority of my young life up until I ran oft to the Army. I remember Dad's little shop, and it was a battle with the rust situation. I thought all table saws had brown tops! WD-40 was bought by the case and rust was just a fact of life. The good ol days! Thanks for checkin in Capt!

Way to go John. You have that chair further along than I had remembered seeing. Good to see you back at it again. I love that walnut. Hope you get time to work on it and put in the gallery. Thanks for the update.
