In this video, Jeff will introduce you to this popular Post and Rung form. Then he'll show you how we drill the mortises to create our Front and Rear Assemblies.

In this video, Jeff will show us how to move from drawing to drilling. He'll show us the difference between the set ups for drilling the front and rear assemblies. Then he'll give a clear explanation why we need two different risers even though every angle we're drilling is exactly the same.

In this week's video, Jeff will show you three methods you can use to find the drilling geometry of an existing chair.

In this video, Jeff introduces us to the bottom half of a Boggs Berea Ladderback Arm Chair. He’ll show us what it has in common with our Simple Post and Rung design and where things get a little more complicated. He will also clearly define why we might say a Post has Rake, Splay, or both. Here’s a quick shorthand to help you keep track… No Rake or Splay - Rungs intersect the long axis of the Post at 90 degrees Rake - Side Rungs intersect the long axis of the Post at any angle other than 90 degrees Splay - Front or Rear Rungs intersect the long axis of the Post at any angle other than 90 degrees

In this video, Jeff continues to explore the bottom half of a Boggs Berea Ladderback Arm Chair. He’ll begin to simulate the build by discussing the drilling angles for the Front and Rear Rungs.

In this video, Jeff introduces the Step Jig. He'll show us how it can be used to rotate the entire front assembly so we can drill the three different angles needed to connect the Front Legs to the Rear Legs with our Rungs.

Jeff shows up how to use the side trapezoid to build a platform that accounts for the rake of the legs in the rear panel. Then he shows us how to use our top and bottom trapezoids to make the riser blocks we'll need to rotate the panel to the correct angle for each of the side rung mortises.

Jeff shows us how to use the angled platform and riser blocks from the last video to drill the side rung mortises into the rear panel.
