Re: MORRIS CHAIR, building a classic.
@jonathan,
i forgot to mention that your choice of upholstery material (wytex) is one of the best...the first upholstery adventure i had was in 1996..and the same material i used is still standing today..still very soft and pliable...if it were some cheap material, i could have hardened already, peeling and and cracking maybe.
happy birthday to the superultramaster swmbo!
a morris side table perhaps?
enjoy your chair muna siguro for a week before the next build.

oh i see, where can i find wytex ?
major, major thank you, thank you ! ! ! says the swmbo...
planning to build another, and a footstool, because your foot will look for something to hang-
up, but considering also the side or end table.
yes doc V, a week day-off of woodworking and taking a moment of enjoying the chair is the
way to do.
Re: MORRIS CHAIR, building a classic.
Ang ganda and very inspiring. Thanks for taking WIP pics, taking the pics is extra effort for the sake of helping people like me to learn. Salamat po
Re: MORRIS CHAIR, building a classic.
thank you also, earl8 .

ngayon ko lang na realize docV, I read vytex on the fabric i used..:confused:
anyway, yes the fabric is very soft and pliable, making it comfortable upon lying down on it.
Re: MORRIS CHAIR, building a classic.
Just want to say that you did an amazing job. That chair is just gorgeous. Excellent craftsmanship. I'd call it a work of art. How I wish I had the cool tools and skills you have. The finish is just perfect. Very professional looking.
Re: MORRIS CHAIR, building a classic.
thanks kenneth...
credit goes also to this forum...and the master...
with very limited tools i got, i have to improvised some jigs for the job...
i bet you too can do this project, with long line of patience and continous dedication to woodworking...
from the time i finished the project, until , as of this moment
no serious project pa...enjoying muna the comfort of the chair...
tinamaan pa ako ng " katam"...:p 😉 😎
Re: MORRIS CHAIR, building a classic.
i'm making again a pair of pivot and support pins for my morris chair single seater.
and here's a much clearer wips in making the dowels. i'm going to make a 1" diameter dowel.
nilabas ko ulit yung RT plate, wala pa rin syang dedicated table...
started it with a 1" x 1" workpiece, and i used a 1/2 round over bit.
doing the passes on all corners...
Re: MORRIS CHAIR, building a classic.
Jon, that would be safer and more consistent if you left a piece on both sides na original size. I would also prefer doing it on the rt, just a preference but I think its safer as well...
i believe this is what master timber meant...
then cut it into two pieces...
Re: MORRIS CHAIR, building a classic.
then sanded the tip till it fits to the sample hole.
then i used a wood rasp file to remove some wood materials till it reach the desired diameter a vernier caliper will be of good use...
Re: MORRIS CHAIR, building a classic.
these are the final result...
finishing process are coming right up na,
together with the arts and craft sofa...
Re: MORRIS CHAIR, building a classic.
uyy Jonathan malapit na pala matapos to' and it looks another masterpiece in the process na naman to...just keep on going bro..
Re: MORRIS CHAIR, building a classic.
hi armand,
currently, i am in the first stage of the finishing process...staining.
next is sealing the stain and hopefully matapos ko itong project ko this weekend,
top coating with a poly...
mahirap bro, 2 project at a time ( a sofa and a single seater ) energy draining...:rained_down:
back seat upholstery pa pala....matagal pa.....:hammer:
what's up?
Re: MORRIS CHAIR, building a classic.
hi armand,
what's up?
okay lang bro, i was hit by a planer (tinamaan ako ng katam) because of this wet season we are experiencing now...:p
nice WIPs Jonathan, i hope i can have the courage to build that same project of yours, if ever bro call a friend na lang ako sa 'yo ..;)
