Continuous Arm Windsor Chair Plans Are Here

Ok if you haven't already gotten an email from Curtis Buchanan about his continuous arm chair plans being up on his website for sale then here is your notice. If you already know about them then this is just the snooze alarm going off. Wake up and go get your plans. If you want them that is.

Curtis and I spent about eight months getting these put together. They include the full scale turning patterns, bending forms, seat carving topography map as well as a front and side view in 1:2 scale. I think you will find that this takes these plans a step above the previous one. We considered full scale but then the plans just get to be impractical to use in the shop for reference. Plus I think this size looks kinda cool just hanging on the wall in the shop. Heck, maybe frame them as some shop art. That may be taking it too far but thats just me.

I have had about all I can take of sitting at the computer as of late. I can do technical drawings but I much prefer to make stuff. Though I do hope to get around and put together a small project for those that want something to try out in the Danish furniture vein of things. I do love my Danish modern furniture. It is where I started and probably won't ever venture completely away from it.

I hope you all are enjoying this awesome spring weather. Well I am. If you are not then I hope you do soon.

Take care all!

Continuous Arm Chair Plans - UPDATE

I just wanted to update everyone to let you know that the chair plans of Curtis Buchanan's continuous arm chair are almost ready. I have finished up my part of the technical drawings and we just need to get that fancy topographical map of the chair seat together. Someone else does that.

Curtis is working on a new website that will make it easier to make a purchase. I can't wait for the videos to start rolling out as well. They will be posted up on Youtube. This time he wanted to have the plans ready as he rolled out the videos so that you could build along if you wanted. Should be great.

There are some extra videos on some really important subjects that will be following as well. You will like them if you have ever needed help choosing a good log. He has tons of experience.

I'll update everyone when they go up on his site and the videos are up on Youtube. It should only be a few weeks from now!

1:2 Scale Front & Side View

Dark Side Of The Moon

I have been deep into completing some plans that have been in the works for about 8 months now. I have been dragging these out and am finally on the home stretch.

I know that many people have been asking Curtis Buchanan if he is going to put out the plans for his continuous arm chair and the answer is yes as soon as Caleb finishes them! So you can blame me on your having to wait so long. The fact that I have been slow to blog as of late is that I am trying desperately to get these finished in time for Curtis' You tube videos on making this chair are posted up.

We are making these extra special this time with a front and side view and we will see if we decide to fit the top view in as well. The plans will be large and detailed with all the turning patterns and bending forms just like before, only better.  These plans will really inspire you to make this chair and give you all the details that are so critical for this type of chair.

Here is a sneak peek.
