I too have been reading Pete's book. There are a few new variations I'd like to try for myself. I'm looking forward to it.

Sorry to hear about with the trouble ...Hi Gerhard,<br /><br />Sorry to hear about with the trouble posting. I've had that happen before, too when posting on blogger blogs. No idea what the problem is. Jonas said he always copies his text before publishing, just in case it disappears, preventing him from having to type it all again. Good job persevering!<br /><br />Having built a chair once, I have to say it is a nice luxury to be able to build with a solid block of elm. However, I don't think it is at all necessary. Christopher Schwarz built a couple chairs recently with wood he got at the home center and laminated together. I think this is perfectly acceptable, especially if you have stretchers on the legs for extra support. I bet you'll be able to come up with some fantastic wood to use in Africa!<br /><br />I look forward to seeing what you come up with, and will post links to your blog.Brian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-39833150235276498142015-04-09T18:07:39.374+02:002015-04-09T18:07:39.374+02:00I think a chair is the perfect way to slake your f...I think a chair is the perfect way to slake your furniture building thirst during a kitchen remodel.

Anyway, I think this is a very good idea and will try to be ready to join the build. I need to find some wet wood first, hopefully on a trip to the Okavango (bordering Angola) in May, as I really want to try out some of the techniques in Peter Galbert's book. It should be fun and useful at the same time building it in tandem with other woodworkers.<br />Cheers<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850486690987015170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-48578908150534170572015-04-09T16:25:38.717+02:002015-04-09T16:25:38.717+02:00Oh man that sounds like a lot of fun... since your...Oh man that sounds like a lot of fun... since your last build I have been wanting to build a stick chair. I'm about 30% through that book and it's only making it worse. Unfortunately, I suspect that in June I will be knee deep in our kitchen remodel (I've put it off successfully for ~2 years) (also I've stalled on my workbench) I've been sketching a chair for a few weeks, so if I have a break, who knows, but regardless, I'll be watching attentively.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028867150859768771noreply@blogger.com
