I’ve got only a rather wonky saw bench, another slightly less wonky saw bench, and, er, well, that’s about it for CLOs. Though I guess one could sit on a router table. [But please, oh dear God, please, take out the router body first, or at least make for sure and certain all bits—literally—are below the table surface!]
I’m got a hunch a seed has been planted. This one will take time to germinate, though, so don’t expect anything soon. Which means any time before the next World Cup, I suspect.
BTW, sorry about Ernie’s passing. All good dogs should live forever, in my view. And yes, “good dog” is, in at least nearly every instance, redundant. I’ll hope he’s made a friend in our Hazel, who left us last spring after 17 years of keeping me sane and sociable enough I didn’t get institutionalized. A wheaten-colored Cairn Terrier, she was our version of the Best Dog Ever. She shall never be replaced, of course, but now the throne is occupied by an Australian Shepherd named Robie.
Blessings. Oh, and for the record: Fuck Covid. Just fuck it.
It was wonderful to see your progression! I’ve made a few staked pieces and have actual chairs on my immediate schedule. The CS chair book was incredibly inspiring and I was shocked to learn you had a hand in creating the templates and chairpanzee. Your work is beautiful, thank you for sharing!
Speaking of those templates for the ADB. I went to lostartpress.com to buy them a few months back and they were gone. Are you making more for them or no?
I'm afraid the original templates are not going to be available again. However the good news is that Chris and I are going to be developing some new templates in the near future.
Great share! It makes me think of the variety of CLO I have made, how I’ve progressed (or maybe haven’t.) Also seeing your ½ chair really helps me see why 2/3 is more appropriate for small people as opposed to dolls.
Without exception, anyone who tries to guess what scale a half-scale chair is (without knowing) doesn't realise how small 50% is. Visitors are probably sick of me asking "what scale do you reckon this chair is? Go on, what do you think? Hmm?"
I really enjoyed your series on stacked chairs/stools. I am particularly interested in the Harlech Stool and will probably try to emulate it. Your half scale chair is quite nice and looks like a lot of fun.
Nice array of CLOs, Ed!

My understanding is that by age 18-24 months, we are about half of our adult height.
That's interesting, and again, wouldn't have expected that.
Ed,

Maybe I'll do a short post on the Harlech stool. I didn't take step-by-step photos, but I have a few. I also have the drawing which I can share.
Should have been staked chairs.
You did misunderstand. I meant Lime as in the wood, also known as Basswood or Linden.
