Thank for commenting :-)
You are right,...Hi Jeremy<br /><br />Thank for commenting :-)<br />You are right, it is actually kind of a weird scam, I just guess that a lot of people think that with that many plans there sure has got to be something for them, and then they'll never have to buy another plan in their life again.<br /><br />I often wonder though, if the head scammer offers someone a free access to the plans if they spam comment at least 200 blog posts. Or Perhaps they have to prove that someone actually took the bait and signed up for the plans.<br />It could also be the head spammer/scammer himself that does it. I don't know but that is for me the most interesting thing about those plans :-)<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-5628979324582422442022-01-10T13:50:57.762-08:002022-01-10T13:50:57.762-08:00Glad to see a new blog post (maybe I should get my...Glad to see a new blog post (maybe I should get my stuff together and make a post again as well.)

I was actually discussing a bit with myself whether or not to do a blog post about it, since I don't want to give those jerks any attention. I just hope that by once in a while raising peoples awareness about that they still exist can hopefully help someone with not falling into their spam trap.<br /><br />Happy New Year<br /><br />Brgds JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-7189257947442382242022-01-03T05:40:39.856-08:002022-01-03T05:40:39.856-08:00I've gotten in the habit of blocking any Insta...I've gotten in the habit of blocking any Instagram account that mentions 16000 plans.

And people often fell for that argument and bought the stuff.<br /><br />If they'd only think the same way for a chair plan. I mean you buy a pizza without thinking of it, and that is a short lived joy (unless you get a bad seafood pizza). So paying something like 3 pizzas for a chair plan that you can use over and over isn't bad at all.<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-41990620080132735302022-01-01T07:08:46.637-08:002022-01-01T07:08:46.637-08:00Happy New Year Jonas!

I could not agree more about buying plans from reputable folks and companies. For your readers I can highly suggest plans from Curtis Buchanan. Professionally done by chairmaker Jeff Lefkowitz and Caleb James. As for books on chair making well there are several but a great one stop shop would be Lost Art Press.

I have read on a blog somewhere something like "my friend is a better woodworker than I but he can not work without plans".<br />On the Paul Sellers video, they convert precisely inches to mm. I don't need that feature. And, IMO, for those needing it, it would be better if dimensions were slightly adapted to make more sense in cm.<br />(Although in the big store in Belgium, we find boards 19mm thick...)<br /><br />I must admit, adapting to material available has once given me a surprising result. But that is acquiring experience. <br />I once made a Paul Sellers item, in advance of the videos, just looking at the teaser pictures on the blog. I have used too tick boards. So, while it is undeniably strong, the space inside the box and drawer is smaller then it should be. <br />I have made another one after. Some techniques used by P.S. were different than what I used for the first iteration.<br /><br />Happy new year.<br /><br />ps nice Captain stripes.
