I like that chair, I only thing holding me back from making one is the carving. Hmmmm..... maybe the pantograph? Thanks for posting, Steven.

Besides, it will need four casters, and a decent rolltop desk to make it complete...

they had forgot to delete 135+ pictures of a trip to Tybee Island

What bothers me here is you DELETED 135+ pictures of Tybee Island, GA...I would have taken the pictures...:P Haven't been there for a few years now, but except for Savannah itself, Tybee was our second favorite vacation spot ever! Loved swimming in the ocean with the dolphins, then gorging ourselves on fresh blue crab, oysters, & shrimp...course the sting of being roasted on the beach kinda' took away from the dining experience somewhat...;):D 

 

Now for the chair...certainly resembles a Federal era chair but likely more from the 1860-80 era. A whole lot of that furniture used to be had in antique shops from Savannah to Charleston...I probably could do the heart pine floor under the chair but not the chair...course you'd have to "loan" me the heart pine and the 'ole 45 to make the tongue & grooves.:lol:

No room in my files for that many pictures.   

Shucks, I'd bought you a new SD card for Tybee pics or traded you some rusty 'ole tools^_^

I think I could handle the casters.

The roller part goes down, I think.

Looks as though they used an iron 4-way socket to attach the legs rather than the dovetailed hub style socket joint usually seen in that old furniture.

Kinda like the instructions on the sod rolls..."Green side up"?
