No jigs, no specialty tools and no exotic techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, farmers and people who were handy with tools built comfortable chairs using simple tools and the materials around them (usually stuff from the firewood pile). You didn’t need special training or fancy tools – just a normal amount of cleverness and the need to sit down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Build a Chair from Bulls%$t” shows you how easy this is to do – even today. Modern home centers are awash in materials that can be adapted to make a nice chair. Shovel handles and stair handrails can be easily made into chair legs. The seat and headrest come from the construction lumber aisle. The spindles? Dowels. And the curved arm? Plywood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen stop at the home center’s tool section to find the gear you need to make the chair. All the sawing is with a handheld jigsaw or tabletop band saw. You’ll also need a battery drill, a block plane, some drill bits and other basic tools. (You probably own most of them already.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd there’s one more thing you might need: this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Build a Chair from Bulls%$t” shows you how to make this chair using a series of simple illustrations. Instead of wandering into a protracted discussion of trigonometry and compound angles, “Build a Chair from Bulls%$t” shows you how to drill all the weird angles in a chair simply by clamping the arm to the seat and drilling holes through both of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTricky operations – like working in curved compound-angle environments – are revealed to be easy. Once you know a trick or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chair itself is spacious and comfortable. It’s based on antique folk chairs you might find by a fireside in a stone cottage. But its straight lines allow it to fit seamlessly in a modern living room or kitchen as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter you build a chair or two using the methods in this short book (you can read it in less than an hour), you’ll be ready to embark on making different chairs – smaller, taller, wider, whatever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOh, and there's a bonus section at the end of the book that shows you how to use your scraps from the chair to make a nice three-legged stool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Lost Art Press\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLost Art Press LLC was founded in 2007 by two enthusiastic woodworkers, John Hoffman and Christopher Schwarz, while attending a Lie-Nielsen Toolworks Open House in Warren, Maine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are believe in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lostartpress.com\/pages\/about-us\"\u003eprinciples\u003c\/a\u003e that Lost Art Press was founded on, and are proud to carry some of the titles they have to offer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lost Art Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47266948186333,"sku":null,"price":18.32,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0455\/3339\/7144\/files\/DSC00277_8717aa5a-830a-4e76-8cf2-90667373314b.jpg?v=1768430772","url":"https:\/\/bernalcutlery.com\/en-fr\/products\/build-a-chair-from-bulls-t-christopher-schwarz","provider":"Bernal Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
