- would come in Monday. It arrived today. Electrician is scheduled for Wednesday.
Got Northfield's price on a set-of-four 16" jointer blades - $420 plus shipping, plus 3% for credit card transaction. Wowza! Didn't think they would have been that much. I may shop other vendors.... undecided.
Very nice. My first thought was wow, that looks like it will be really, really comfortable. My second thought was, where would I set my beer?
Ouch!. Might want to look into getting a replacement, spiral segmented cutter head for that sucker. Several places make them, might not be all that much more, and they really do a much better job in all ways.

I had made this one -

/in/photostream - for Mom many years ago. Probably the most comfortable s eating I've ever made. Since Mom has passed, my sister wants it for her o ldest son.
She wants this new one for her other son. I think it's seating (comfort) profile is exactly as the first. I had made templates for the first chair , so I have good resources for this one. The hardest parts were to custom mate the arms to the backrest curved style, multiple angles to mate.
The angled arms do present, somewhat, an issue for drink containers, but it 's not really that big of deal. The angle might look drastic, but not real ly so. Also, one usually doesn't let go of a drink on any chair arm and mo re so on a moving (rocking) chair. It's also not so easy, sometimes, to ta ke a sip while rocking.... you have to stop rocking to take a sip without s pilling your drink, and I suppose especially after too many sips. I had m entioned making the arms flat, but Lorraine wanted them angled.
This new one is made with pecan, except for the top backrest rail, which is (live edge) hickory.... I didn't have a decent pecan board for that top ra il. The first one was made with red oak.
