Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: The Chairmaker's Workshop by Drew Langsner

Since Mike Dunbar's book on building Windsor Chair's went out of print, the only definitive guide guide to building Windsor chairs was Drew Langsner's book. Now it is out of print and both books bring prices beyond their original cover price.
I am trying to build a set of Windsor's for my wife and would love to add this book to my library.

Re: Making a Windsor Settee Arm/Crest Rail

Tim,
You like me have two expensive hobbies. But unlike me....you use sketchup at the expert level and for the same things I want to use it for. I love your work. Took a Windsor chair class three or four years ago from the Chairwright, Bill Gullberg in Illinois, came home with a chair but did not follow through. Lots of excuses why.

You have reinspired me and I am going to get going. I am in the process of building a bow back side chair. Have the seat carved and I'm turning the legs. Learning sketchup slowly. How do you make the curves. Bezierspline,rb??? I find it very challenging.

Keep putting up the good stuff.
