My first Windsor Chair - Now with added WIPs

[Good Surname or what ?]

On Monday I will start a 5-day windsor chair making course with James Mursell at the Windsor Workshop.

Just one other student. I can't wait. I just hope the pub I'm staying in offers a broadband connection as well as a selection of real ales. Then I can upload my progess photos as I go.

If not, you'll have to wait until next weekend to see the result.

 

[Philly]

Have a great time, Phil!
Look forward to seeing the result of your labours,
Philly

 

[Gill]

I'm really excited for you! I bet you have loads of fun; I can't wait to see the photos.

Hi Phil,

As long as the real ales are okay you'll be fine. :wink:

Good luck with the course.

Cheers,

Phil,

Sounds a great way to spend a week. Hope you have fun and learn lots. I am looking forward to see the pictures.

What a fantastic week. I'm hooked. Can't wait to go back and make a double-bow chair.

If I get time this week I'll write something to accompany the WIPS.

wow, thats looks quite beautiful
i particulary like the cherry seat's shape

 

[wizer]

Excellent, I particularly like the shaped seat. I have seen Norm make a windsor chair and the whole process of shaping out something for your bottom to be comfortable on must be most rewarding! :wink:

That seat just begs to be sat upon. Well done!

What skills did you have before you went on the course ie there's obviously a fair amount of turning involved - did you know how to do that etc.
