Threaded inserts

Today we finally decided on a fastening system using a threaded insert and a large head bolt. By using this type of attachment system we allow the top to freely have natural wood movement. Also the top can be removed for transport or storage.

rough shaped rocking chair legs




















We also worked on our second Inspiration 2.0 rocking chair, this time around were building a large with zebrawood back braces facing the front.

Here you can see the rear legs clamped to the seat where they remain for about 12 hours then the clamps come off.

Also shown carved and rough sanded seat and rough shaped front legs needing some sanding attention before they can get glued to the seat.
