THIS BLOG SERIES WAS CREATED A YEAR AGO, I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON GETTING IT TRANSFERRED FROM ANOTHER SITE TO OURS. THANK YOU FOR READING!

Sorry for not posting for sometime now, I have made much progress on the rocker.  There is so much to talk about, but not enough time to write so I will post the pics of what I have done thus far, and hopefully the pictures will stand on their own and you can see the progress made.  I must add though, the plans that I have been working off of are A-1 plans, I couldn't have done it without Hal's plans and mentoring.  I highly recommend his plans and templates.
If you have any questions at all regarding the chair making process or Hal's plans, feel free to drop me line at courtlandwoodworks@verizon.net and I will return your email asap.
Thanks for coming back and checking in.
