I just got out of the shop here, and I finished the prelim cutting of the seat notches.

 

Flattening the seat blank, it had a very slight cup in it.

Cutting the rear leg notches on the TS

The final cuts for the rear leg notches, perfectly square!

Front and Rear Leg Notches cut, and routed with a 1.5" rad rabbeting bit.

I also was to get the back brace holes routed in the rear of the seat as well tonight, I used a 1/4" spiral bit and a 1/2" OD guide bushing with a template.

Thanks for looking folks! Now, back out in the shop I go!

Wow! John, you're moving right along. Looking good. Take lots of pictures of the "scooping out process" Please.

Looking good John. I love to see the progress on the rocker.

 

Keep the pictures coming.

 

You got it Rich, or should we say the grinding out process! I wish I could tell you I do the romantic way with a chair scoop and all, but it's done with a right angle grinder and disc. Pictures will abound at your request though Rich regardless. Thanks for your interest.

John, I just want to buy the seat.  Those of some beautiful boards.

Yea, you could re-saw those and have twice the material.

Thanks Randall, the seat is for sale! After the leg and arms and back are attached to it!
Thanks again Randall,

But the seat wouldn't hold my big butt after that Rich!
