Plans for the Peasant Chair

Below the paywall are plans for the peasant chair I built last week that uses the sandwiching method for drilling the mortises.

Because of this method, it is the easiest armchair I have ever built. I can’t wait to build another one to try out some improvements to the drilling process that I’ve been thinking about.

But that is going to have to wait for a couple weeks. First, we must finish up two videos we’re shooting. One on building and using a Roman workbench, and a second on building a Swedish tool chest. And on Friday I am taking all the furniture I’ve built for “The American Peasant” up to Oak Park, Illinois, so Narayan can photograph it.
