There's no right or wrong way to make a spindle if it comes out and works for the overall chair. This is just my take on it and being self taught, I may do it differently than most, but as long as the results are the same and it makes the chair look it's best, however you make them is the right way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835065189812882407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771679779642285548.post-17136892586521261992012-01-15T08:29:40.583-06:002012-01-15T08:29:40.583-06:00Nice video.

I think you're push cutting mostly with your spokeshave while I usually pull cut. Will try both ways next time. And I have been more comfortable drawknifing with the bevel down but you seem to be bevel up.<br /><br />I liked your use of the measuring guage. Very fast and very efficient.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Terry in OttawaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771679779642285548.post-80825271517134996192012-01-14T11:00:09.756-06:002012-01-14T11:00:09.756-06:00Matthew,
