RWW 58 WIA Casework & Construction

In this episode I regale you all with my thoughts and recap of Jeff Headley and Steve Hamilton’s American Furniture: Casework and Construction seminar from WIA last month.

Here you can see Jeff and Steve hard at work trying to figure out how to assemble the Chippendale case

This is the half dovetail joint they passed around that was typical for attaching the drawer blades to the front of the case.

Here is a shot of the Chippendale Chest after the seminar with 2 of the drawers removed

And here is a Baltimore card table

In the Q&A session in the marketplace later, you were able to get up close and personal with the pieces and really see how they went together. This was a blast.

Finally I took a quick video of the process for fluting the quarter columns on the Chippendale chest using a scratch stock.
