New Project: Morris Chair was created by bailey bud

I'm building a Morris Chair.

Not sure what it is? Google it --- it's the old school arts/crafts style chair.

Here's photos of progress to date

Image 1: The jig I constructed to do mortises

Image 2: Since I didn't have 2x2 lumber these are laminated legs. Note one of the legs sitting in the jig.

Image 3: I laid out the side frames to see how close the fit looks at first blush.
It actually looks like the side of a chair!

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
