Re: Thomas Jefferson's Campeche Chair

Hadley, no offense, but this is a sign of how lazy we Americans are becoming. We are proud to be the old guy in overalls with a wad of cash in his pocket who just figured out this internet thing. And if he asks enough forums someone else will do the work. I am enjoying Killen's angle on this-- intended or not. Don't wait until a video, set of plans, and a free issue of Finewoodworking has to accompany an article. Strike while the excitement is there. In 2 weeks someone will have a plan made up and it just won't seem worth doing. Do you buy puzzles preput together?

Re: Thomas Jefferson's Campeche Chair

For scale you can save the picture of back stile in your pictures and then print it out on 8.5 x 11 paper and take it to a copy place and blow it up 350%. You can also save and print the the front stile and have it blown up 250%. These can be cut to be used as patterns. If that does not make sense to you then take your printout and keep exploding it until the bottom of the chair stiles are 1.75 inches. It won't be exact but should be within an eighth of an inch of plan. There are pictures available of the chair on the internet that show the leather on the chair just google campeche chair and look at the images
