Re: the latest 'dana' dining chairs

hey you all, the joinery:
these chairs turned out very strong. i dadoed out the seat for the 8/4 legs, notched the leg leaving enough material on it to have contact at the seat bottom. once the glue dries, a self-tapping screw goes in through the leg into the seat for a strong joint.
the neck of the chair is dowels(2) where it meets the back, and 2 more screws come up through the seat into the neck from below.
i haven't chunked one out the window like sam maloof did, but a guy weighing in at 385 lbs. sat in it and it took him no prob.

thank you for the comments.
more photos to come.
