Having the chairs completed feels pretty great. I can remember back several months thinking they would never be done. You will get there too. Taking your time is not always a bad thing either - it lets you work out a lot of little details that might otherwise be missed. Keep me posted as you continue to work on them. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />KonradKonradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975387560456769892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-17887492813375111652012-10-14T17:39:25.432-05:002012-10-14T17:39:25.432-05:00Hi Jeremy,

There have been a few points where I considered a bronze sole, but never that seriously (not sure why not really). I agree with you though - this might be a good plane to try it with.

The issue had to do with the dimensions of it being so close to that of the light fixture above it. <br /><br />Interestingly - we used the 6 seat top mock-up for thanksgiving and when we put a table cloth on it, it still looked "right". That was another good confirmation that we are on the right track. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />KonradKonradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975387560456769892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-5869925856905943962012-10-13T09:58:51.654-05:002012-10-13T09:58:51.654-05:00The chairs are amazing, love the subtle curves fro...The chairs are amazing, love the subtle curves from every angle, contrasted with the sharp lines and points. Every time I check back on your build I go out into my own shop and draw all over my roughed out chairs. I'm glad you're finished because I'd never get around to finishing if you kept it up. <br />I've got the same problem with my table, think the idea of a mock top in place with the fished chairs is a great one! And Robert is SO right about replicating the color! The lumber for mine has been in the rafters of my shop for three years now, and I'm terrified to even start. Been through a hundred variations for the base on paper and Sketchup, and have resigned myself to the fact that it can't even start till the chairs are done.<br />Thanks for the confirmation of my instincts!Carl Jarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18124621698845710748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-25225998672016260762012-10-10T13:22:17.563-05:002012-10-10T13:22:17.563-05:00Beautiful work as always, both on the plane front ...Beautiful work as always, both on the plane front and the furniture side. I really like the warmth the bronze adds to the K7 shown. Have you ever done a bronze sole&sides? That might keep the lines clean.

The wood and craftsmanship are equal to each other.<br /><br />I'm sure you've thought of this being a graphics guy, but one thing about your MDF mock up - you may want to stain it or paint it the color of the wood you plan on using for the top. That may change things a bit - especially the base's visual weight in relation to the top - but even the sizing and thickness of the top might change with color.<br /><br />Also, the steel/bronze mix on that plane is very cool.roberthttp://www.rtroupwoodworking.comnoreply@blogger.com
