Hi there
Just recently I made a video of how easy it is to build a chair
with some jigs and templates that I built.
And I'm going to do another video of about building chairs
except this time I'm going to make them from oak
And also
the side rails and probably the back and front rails
will be umm...
...attached with loose tenons.
So the process is pretty similar
except those parts
So just to begin...
I'm going to put this
template on this oak board
trace the outlines
and then cut the leg parts off.
And we'll go from there.
After cutting all these leg parts
I can start to choose which ones makes pairs
because they all came little bit different compared to each other
like the thickness and size overall
just little variations there
So I choose the ones that are already...
...looks like they are matching quite well like this one
these two
these are already done
So then I just stack them together with clamps
and pick my tool
and after that it's just some manual labour.
Now we can start planing back side of the legs
but it proven to be little bit problematic
because of the curve
it doesn't....the blade doesn't catch anything
So what I did is I just move like sideways
Which is like....kind of breaking my heart
because it's easy to get chips out of the edge
So I had to be very careful
So umm...
So I plane just a little bit here...just to get it even and then I finish it off with a belt sander.
And this is the...
this kind of shape
really requires a compass plane
which I don't have obviously
So I guess I just have to work with this one.
I started marking mortise locations to these front legs
so this is the curved side
that is between the back and front legs
and they will be matched
with these mortises I already routed yesterday for loose tenons
and they're going to sit here....like so.
I'm about to start routing these mortises in these side rails
and I numbered them
back one is A...
fronts are B and sides are C
and I also marked them to these wood pieces so I will know which goes where
and this one is C1 and the other one is C2
So this one is C1
I place it on top of my drawing
So I have to first cut this in an angle
which is umm...
this angle in here
and for this chair
it is 82 degrees
If you watched my other chair making video
you know that I utilized my
the jig I built
but this time the angle is 1 degree different
so I had to make another one.
And...to make that
I took this angle from here
and I cut few pieces of MDF into that angle
It should match here....yup
seems perfect
And then I will simply attach it into this table
and seems I have to move this a notch forward also
But anyways...umm...
after I cut this in an angle
I clamp it in here
which allows me to use my router and this template to make perfect mortise.
Now that I have routed these other end of side rails
I can just place it on top of my drawing
and then
mark the cut length
Now I can go ahead and cut it with correct length
in an angle so it fits perfectly in here
and then route the other mortise on this end
As you can see - I did a little bitty test assembly here
just to see how well these parts are sitting together
And I didn't glue anything yet
as I still need to make the lower rail and the crest rails
and the figure between
in which I'm going to copy the one I did before
as I still have that template
After I cut these parts
I'm going to do some routing
and little bit carving
making those oak leaves.
If you remember my oak dining table project
In legs I did that kind of carving also.
Now I'm going to show you guys how I do the oak leave routing
on these crest rails
so just like before...
I copy the drawing
with a piece of charcoal paper
What I do is I place it on top
just eyeball it's in the middle
And then it's just quite simple
trace...
trace the drawing
let's see...
There!
After sanding all these router bit marks
and also I sand these leaves a little bit...
...because last time
when I did the table legs
I kind of left them looking pretty rough
...all the way from edges...I did use
chisel or gouge or something to
do a little round over....
But after a while it didn't look nice anymore
And I wanted it to have a bit more curves
just like normal leaf would
and...
I'm not sure how visible that is in umm...
through the camera lens...but..
there's a little bit rounding
and more smoothness in these
And if you remember what I did in my table legs....is...
basically just go bananas with these kind of tools.
and started
...denting the surface like so
and later...
it's going to look pretty nice pattern in here
I will show you guys later how it's going to look after I finish one.
To make these oak leaves look little bit more natural
and give some more life to them
I decided to
carve
just a little bit of the surface
to make some kind of
small
details
I'm not going to
carve too much...just a notch.
So I'm doing this with the same kind of fashion I did with the table legs.
I think
on that video I went into a bit more detail
So check it out if you're interested.
While I'm doing this....I'm constantly
changing the light source location
so...
it creates more shadows
and I can see better
how much I'm carving off.
Now I think that's about it
really don't wanna do it too much.
For the back rest design...
I'm using the template I cut for the other chair
Originally I planned to use it with router
to cut the piece off but umm...
...obviously it didn't work quite well
and I kind of destroyed the template
So I'm just umm...
...plan to trace these
...drawings on a piece of oak
and then
use a saw...just to cut if off
Oh I will show you later.
So now that I chiseled that part off...I can put this
metal corner in here and...
screw it
....on here
and it's going to be very very strong
...strong support
although I still need to change the angle of this
because this one is 90 degrees and this one is not.
This is always very interesting part when you start putting things together
See...there's a lot of things going on at the same time
everything in angles
So many things have to meet perfectly
side rails with the front legs
and also these stretchers
But I already done test assembly before this..before gluing anything
that should be just fine...so umm...
let's get it started
Yesterday I got so excited about my work progress that
I totally forgot to bring my camera and take it on film
But basically what I did is lots of sanding
all over on every surface
on these chairs
And then I used dark walnut color wood stain on these chairs and
after that I cur this kind of piece of cardboard
to kind of umm...see how
the seat part will match with the chair design
after that I traced it on a piece of pine
cut the back side off
the place it on top here and
trace the lines under the seat and cut it off.
Now I'm doing the final sanding here
especially these oak leave carvings
I'm going to sand more
so I can bring out that lighted wood color
and therefore
it will create little bit more 3D look
To finish these chairs
I'm using furniture lacquer which I dyed with a drop of wood stain.
Just to get a little bit more color
and also
the reason why I did that is
I did use the same method with the table
so I'm trying to acquire exactly the same color.
So the first layer will be a little bit thicker
Then I sand it with...maybe around 40 grit paper
and give another coat
and then I will see if it's umm...
if I need to lacquer one more time.
