Cabriole legs are a bugger to create in Sketchup 20 inch leg.skp

Nice job! I like the padding details. If I were going to build this, I think I would extend the legs up so that the sides attach to the legs with mortice and tenon joinery. I think that would eliminate a lot of stress where the legs meet the seat frame in your design. Also, not sure how the seat back is attached to the chair bottom. That might be a weak spot? The style seems to mimic these- https://www.chairish.com/product/8524736/pair-french-style-open-arm-parlor-chairs

I guess it is all in how you learned to turn. If you look at Richard Raffan, he uses scrapers almost everywhere. If you watch his sharpening videos, he doesn't add the relief grind to his scrapers.

@Gerald Thank you! @HandyDan Thanks for the video! I see lots of possibilities with the boring bar setup. @Fred W. Hargis Jr Thanks! The chuck is a really well designed piece of equipment.

Yes, it sorta does, but typically scrapers are help "flat". The change in the grind makes it so you don't have to adjust your "stance" when working on a bowl. And the scraper is less aggressive when removing material. Many of the carbide cutter companies put a "negative rake" on their cutters for the same reason- to make them less aggressive.

Happy B-Day, Phyl!! -
My first lathe was virtually identical to that one. Mine was a Bridgewood. I sold it for $75, too, along with most of the tool set that came with it. If you don't have it, here's the link to the manual- https://www.manualslib.com/manual/486586/Craftsman-113-23800.html#manual If you are looking for a chuck for it, you'll probably need an adapter as the Craftsman is more than likely 3/4" x 16tpi

Looking forward to seeing that one burned!

@HandyDan I completely forgot about this post and all of the great tips and tricks you included. I am adding this to the more recent thread so everyone checking in will see it!
