Chair Progress A 6 Pack

After returning from the great Thanksgiving trip, and back to my day job, I was able to hit the shop hard and finish all six chairs up to the point of upholstery. I finished the chairs with 2 coats of General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint. I had not used that product before and I was pleased with the coverage and performance straight from the can. Top coat is General Finishes Hi-Perfomance semi-gloss. Well deliver the chairs next week and will apply the 2" foam and the fabric my daughter-in-law picks out.If you dont like mortise and tenon, dont build these chairs :) The are 22 of them per chairs so I cut a total of 132, not counting the ones I screwed up. I think overall the chairs came out well and I will post some photos of the upholstered chairs after we return from the Christmas trip.

Sewing Center

Here is a sewing center I made for my wife for her craft room. It is constructed from solid cherry and cherry plywood. When closed, the cabinet measures 48" wide by 18" deep x 28" high. To open, the longer section of the top flips back to the left and is supported by the left door,  the shorter section flips forward and is supported by the door for the surger . The machine lift is supplied by Rockler.
