Shopsmith Forums

Hello all,
A friend of mine asked me recently if I could make a couple of copies of a small chair that had been made originally by her grandfather back in pre-WW II Germany. I’ve added a pic of the original chair. To make them, I used the Shopsmith saw mode, vertical and horizontal modes to drill and sand, sanding disk, my Shopsmith Bandsaw, Shopsmith strip sander, and Shopsmith jointer. I turned the legs on a separate lathe because I’m still uncomfortable using the Shopsmith lathe. I also have a Shopsmith jigsaw but it’s missing one of the upper Chuck jaws.

Here’s a look at the new copies. Apologies for the upside downness. Haven’t figured out how to work pics with my IPad.

SASman, congrats on reproducing the chairs. It looks like you did a great job on getting them right. I have to wonder how comfortable they are. I suppose by only having one leg at front that the child can easier put their feet back under the seat.

Nice job duplicating the chair! Good workout of the Shopsmith platform.
