No-Fear Chairmaking with Christopher Schwarz

Chairs don’t have to be difficult! Follow along with Christopher Schwarz as he shows you how to make a chair using a small set of tools – but with none of the typical chairmaking anxiety.

You’ll learn:

  How to orient the legs for proper splay and rake – without a whole lot of math
  The secret to strong leg joints so there’s no need for stretchers between the legs (much less complicated!)
  How to design a comfortable seat without the complication of saddling (shaping)
  How to shape octagonal tapered legs and spindles, with no need for a shaving horse
  To make a curved crest rail from firewood using a super-simple steam-bending method
  And much more!

Take the fear out of your first chair project!
