Shaker No. 3 dining chair

Chuck_Griffith, member | April 21st, 20131 comment

Shaker chairs ranged in size from 0 to 7, so the No. 3 is at the small end of the scale. However, it makes for a fine dining chair, especially if the room and table are relatively small too. For...

Shaker counter stools

Chuck_Griffith, member | March 4th, 20131 comment

I'd be embarrassed to tell you how little I charged for these. I figure they're pretty simple, so don't overdo it. However, because of the way I position holes for the rails and stretchers, the legs...

Miniature No. 0 Shaker rocker

Chuck_Griffith, member | January 8th, 20131 comment

I make full-sized Shaker chairs. My wife collects miniature chairs. So for Christmas this year I figured a shrunken Shaker piece might do the trick. The result is an exact "half-size" version of the...

On Saturday, 13 November 10, I had my first opening at an art gallery. I had six weeks notice to start making stuff, but my workshop was being totally remodeled, so that really meant just 3 1/2 weeks to...

No. 7 Shaker rocker, tiger maple

Chuck_Griffith, member | June 15th, 20102 comments

This is the last of my Shaker chair exploratory. But 12 chairs in, I learned enough from this one to think that the exploring isn't over. Except for the stretchers, this chair was made from a single...

No. 4.1 Shaker rocker

Chuck_Griffith, member | May 31st, 2010

Yet another chair, but this one's a bit of a departure from tradition. The No. 4 is a smallish lady's bedroom chair, this one with a woven back. However, the normal Shaker practice was for the bottom...

Chuck_Griffith, member | April 5th, 20106 comments

No. 7 Shaker rocker

My first big (non-children's) Shaker chair. These are a familiar sight, so they're easy to take for granted, but, trust me, there's serious geometry going on here. The back legs are bent in two...

Would You Like a Front, Side, and Top View?

Killenwood, member | January 11th, 20102 comments

It seems a paradox, while producing a complete detailed 3D model, there still is a benefit to having the old standby top, end, and front orthographic view. In the beginning with SketchUp, I abandoned...

Shaker rocking chair

JFink, member | October 2nd, 2008

This chair was based on a FWW article by Ernie Conover. It was first attempt at making a chair, and the learning curve was incredibly steep. I opted for back splats rather than a taped back, and I...
