I would like it if there were some books or video,s to help those of us who have never tried doing any marquery work.I am not even sure where to begin.

what is the point ,that is old news.

I have a basement shop with a walk out and a seperate entrace to my shop.I have approx. 5oo sq feet to work in there, there is natural light that comes in with a graet view of the lake that we live on.I have started to dress up my shop after making such beautiful furnisher for other people it started with a bench witch is 11 ft, long and plenty of stoarage space under the bench , the low storage aera of the bench is made from black walnut and the bench top is oak with bubinga trim. Saw cabient is white oak ,miter saw cabient is walnut ,american chestnut ,cherry and maple. Now the joint cabient looks out of place so I will be making a better looking cabient for the 6in. jointer. I had made a plant self to start plants along the widows but took it out and put a bench top there so it looks as a big window sill but I use it for a place to set tools as I am working on the bench also I have put walnut around the widows and painted the walls.There is a 10in. powermatic table saw,powermatic drill press fl.modle,rockler 6in. jionter, mekeita compond saw,delta 14in band saw, I have two planers and a table mount router in my bench top ,also there is an old american lath witch I have in stoage and a sears jig saw.
I love the space that I have to do my work .

My brother and I made one of these chairs before Christmas, we left off the arm rest and enstead of the leather we srcewed wood slats to the back and seat.A very comfortable chair ,frist chair I ever made.Also I made the chair alittle wide and higher and I took the plans ,same plans as you see here and made my ouwn with out sketch up.We made the chair from western cedar not the best wood but it is what I had availeble.He took the chair home with him to VA he plans to make and offer them for sale.

It seems to me that you could just rotate the table top into the blade enstead of stoping the saw each time. I have done this making curved raised pannals before.

Any way we can get together for a smoke?

To much work to do ,I would never spend that much time on that kind of work.

I have some were an articel in FWW on how to make these joints,I have never tried to make any.It is in the older FWW volumes I think from the 70s anyway very nice looking joint you got my vote.

Very nice looking chair, I would like some day to make some chairs I think it would help me be a better woodworker.Are there any plans for this kind of chair you made?
