Tom, have you ordered plans from them?Olde Mill has plans for that chair. Gene Landon taught it in 2002.
Thank you TomI haven't had to ordered drawings from Olde Mill because I've drawn a large portion of them
I have ordered Shellac and Milk Paint from Bess in the past with no problems. But it might not be real quick turn-around. I know she's got a lot going on.
I just got it today, a week after I ordered it, not bad at allThank you Tom

I have fine woodworking magazines that show the chair I am going to follow it and adjust as necessaryNot sure I can help as I made the chair and this drawing 24 years ago.

Maybe the tenons were on the templates as reference for postition and shape?

Yes, 186
In my humble opinion Tom’s videos are
