Oh heck, is it already Wednesday!
I feel that I should be half done with the chair by now, because clearly Ray is able to complete the chair from starting out quietly Monday morning and being all done on Wednesday. At least that is what I imagine from his blog post (I have very high thoughts on Rays work as you might have guessed).
Well my Wednesday saw me completing the sack back bend, and from then on it was spindle making time.
There are 28 short spindles and 7 long ones. I discovered that I could make them much faster and better looking using a spokeshave than I could on the lathe.
Before calling it a day, I started sanding them, but I didn't get all of them done, so I'll have to continue with that today.
Generally there has been a steady progress on everyone's projects, and it is interesting to watch the different techniques employed at each participant's workbench.
