The next step in shaping the rear legs for this Berea Ladderback Arm Chair is to cut the entire length into an octagonal profile. - I’d you’d like to learn to make this chair, I have in-person and remote classes available.

We call the top of the rear leg the “ears” of the chair. This is a place for you to leave a signature when you make a chair. This is the basic shape I teach in all of my classes. It was developed by Jeff Lefkowitz as something that can be learned and repeated easily by students.

This winter I’ll be offering a pilot workbench class that will combine recorded video with one-on-one and group video chats with a bench kit. I’m looking to provide an introduction to hand tools and a workbench that will last for generations.

I love it when my kid asks a question. Especially about woodworking!
He asks the questions that my students are often afraid to ask. They're also the questions I often don't think to ask myself. And in answering them, I get a chance to examine my own thinking about how things work.
Curious students are always welcome in my shop. They make me a better teacher.
If you're curious about becoming a student, take a look at my classes...

If you were paying attention when Jeff Lefkowitz covered his "6 Components of Strong Joinery" you'll know why the surface quality of our mortises is important.
Choosing the right bit is a big factor. But you also need to be sure to put it in the drill press properly.
And then you need a way to make each mortise the same depth, even though the distance between the work and the bit changes with each mortise.
This week's video...
This 3 minute video shows you the type of drill bit we use for all the mortises on the Berea Ladderback Chairs.
You'll also learn the right way to chuck it into the press and how we set it up so we can drill without any stops.
If you're interested in joining a small group of remote students as we build some Berea Ladderback Chairs this Spring, just reply to this message and let me know. It's a great time to get enrolled so you start getting ready for the build. Class starts right after Valentines Day.
