   Jose,

   Could you post a picture? I checked my collection and it only goes back to issue 21....rats!

   They would not call it REsearch if you only had to do it once, that would be just search!

   I'd love to but I'm not equipped w/ the technology to do so.

   Maybe someone "out there" would be kind enough...

   thanks

   Jose,

   I did a google search for limbert arm chair and saw some that were very similar to my Stickley style arm chairs. Does the picture look like my chairs? If so I can help you.

   The low-seated arm chair in the first link comes close.  However, the backrest in this chair is not independent of the back leg posts.  Imagine the same chair w/ the backrest situated b/w the back legs.  The backlegs in the arm chair (whose plans I'm on a mission to discover) butt up against the bottom portion of the arm-rests much like they do w/ the front leg posts of the stickley chair whose image you sent as well.  The great mystery for me is to figure out if the back rest is joined to the back legs the way Morris Chair back-rests are joined to the backleg posts (w/ dowels inserted to each side of the back stiles and into the corresponding backleg posts).  Such joinery seems odd in a chair such as this.

   I too have spent hours on the www/google trying to come across the plans for this elusive chair.  What I'm after, essentially, is to build an uncommon arts and crafts style chair and this one is just the ticket.  If I don't fare well I suppose I could try to track down the design plans for the chair you sent as an image and whose design comes close to the one I'm after.

   Well, thanks for your help.

   Jose,

   I found a couple more "odd" looking limbert chairs that might fit the bill...

   the low level chair is nice, but the other two sure are--as you say--"odd".

   where did you come across these images?

   maybe if I navigate that site I might be able to identify just the chair design I'm after.

   I'm sure that that would be a big step in actually locating the design plans.

   In any event, thanks for your interest and time.

   Jose

   Jose, sorry I did not keep track of the sites. One of the pics has Daultons.com on the bottom, so you might try there. The 2 searches I did were "limbert arm chair" and  "limbert armchair". You'll get a number of pages, but just keep looking and you should find them all. If I find anything more I'll let you know.

   Limbert Chair!!!!

   Dr. Bill,

   Are you still around?

   It's been some time...

   I still want to build this chair.  Since we last communicated I built a rocking chair and figure now i  am an "old pro" and ready to build the Limbert-style chair.  I've scanned the photo.

   I hope you are still around.

   Thanks (do hope you have been well).

   Hello Jose,

   I think that Popular Woodworking had  Limbert chair plans in one of their issues.  I will try to find it and let you know what issue or email you the plans.

   Hello Jose,

   the april 2001 issue of Popular Woodworking has plans for a Limbert inlaid rocker.  This might be what you need.  Other issues have Limbert trashcans and cabinets.  My scanner died, so I can't send you a copy of the plans.  Hope this will answer your question.
