I normally don't make New Years resolutions, cause I don't ever keep em'!
But....this year, Ive promised myself...PROMISED!! That I'm going to build a couple of chairs. Maloof style chairs to be exact.
I've admired his work for years, and always said I'd like to build one of his rockers....but always find an excuse not to. Basically my excuses have been nothing more than PURE INTIMIDATION to this point.
SOOooo.... this year I'm going to start with one of his more 'simple' (yet similar) design's just to get a feel for the joinery, and basic design concept's.
Once that one is completed, and Ive gotten a feel for it....I'll move onto the final goal....
One of the more 'intimidating' things about the whole thing, is there are no plans available for either chair. Plans (very expensive) are available for other guys 'variations', but not the real deal.
So the majority of the design and planning have to be done from pictures, and other bits and pieces that I can gather from the internet.
No sweat....
