    That is probably one of the most outstanding pieces of furniture I have seen posted on this site. You've done the Far South Coast proud, Jacko.

    Thumbs up Absolutely Awesome!!

    Great work of art Jacko. I find myself wondering whether I will ever even get close your craftmanship. As an earlier post said - Leaves one feeling inadequate.
    Well done.

    Mick.

    Default Questions

    Jacko
    Did you add up or can you estimate the time it took to construct including any jigs etc you had to make?
    Can you put a dollar value on it ?
    Do you work wood professionally or as a hobbiest?

    Here are some answers, best estimates only as not recorded. My wife would possibly increase these times by 50%

    Jigs and fixtures, about 35 hours (not counting the steam bending "oven")
    Trials of bending and glues approx 24 hours
    Construction time Legs 40
    Cabinet 30
    Finishing 8 hours
    Can you put a dollar value on it ? Only to say that that it was a comission peice for an aquantaince and we pre-agreed a price of $2500Do you work wood professionally or as a hobbiest? I'm retired from the world of high tech marketing and engineering, so very much a hobby.

    I'm more a classical furniture type (real big into chippendale as can be seen on my website) but that has to be one of the finest modern designs I've seen. Your sense of proportion is right on. Damn! fine work. Do you mind if I grab a couple of the pics for me furniture reference library.

    For a seven-year old thread, this is good.
    Steam bending is not magic. It is a simple, boat-building technique
    which has been used for centuries.
    Jacko has got it figured out very well. Best that I've seen yet, outside of a boat yard.
    Now, for your investigations, see how well you do with a kerf-bent box
    in the style of the Pacific Northwest Coast native nations.
    I have seen 60cm corners.
