Just an FYI, the step to measure the distance between motors using the chain isn’t in webcontrol… webcontrol relies upon hand measured value for distance between motors.
edit: well, just noticed I replied to a rather old post… oh well.

How are the chairs coming along? I just bought the Fremont Night Stand plans and will be cutting out those templates soon.

Cool! Its coming along. Need to shape the seat (I’m doing a wood seat instead of cushion), then I’m ready to start finishing.
I’ve been side tracked with other wood related things. Its taking shape though! I really have enjoyed the videos. I’ve learned a lot and definitely wouldn’t have been able to accomplish a chair on my own.

Wow! Your chair is looking great! How many are you making? I’ve been torn between making them all at once or making one prototype then the rest.
Thanks! I’m making a prototype. My wife wants walnut chairs/table and I don’t have the walnut yet and I thought it would be a good idea to see if I could actually pull it off and see if she wants that design or something different. I shaped the seat yesterday. A little bit of sanding to do and it’ll be time to finish!

Finished the chair! This project included several different methods that are new to me like mortise and tenon joints, using a wiping varnish etc. Wiping varnish?! I can’t believe I haven’t been using a wiping varnish… its awesome!

Last minute decided to make my wife a cutting board. She loves the flower called sweet peas so I googled some artwork and v carved a sweet pea into the maple board and filled it with dyed resin. The resin has a short pot life so I vac’d the resin for 13 min and placed it in the carved area. It still has some bubbles 
and it seeped into the wood a bit I tried sanding out the bleed and ended up sanding out some of the flower
Oh well, still looks pretty cool and she’ll love it either way.
Doing a mineral oil/beeswax finish now.

If anyone ever questions ability to achieve solid detail… This piece of stabilized wood is 2.25” x 5.5” for reference.
