Anyone making a rocking chair is no doubt a little apprehensive about the project -- it's a serious endeavor for the intermediate woodworker. Assure success by using a plan where all drilling angles, joinery and components are clearly shown on the plan in full size. The runners are easily cut using the full size pattern -- no enlarging necessary, but transfer paper helps. A complete list of materials and precise cutting list are also provided, along with a decorative pattern for the top back rail. The chair is 41" high, 18" deep. Truly a feather in your cap and authentic New England style.

This is a blueprint style plan which is heralded by beginners and experts alike as being a pleasure to work from because all parts are printed in full size -- all joinery is shown in actual size, curved workpieces are all in full size, therefore you can measure and trace straight from the drawing if necessary. A bill of materials doubles as an exact cutting list, there is a detailed exploded diagram, and all hardware requirements are provided. The exploded diagram so detailed that project specific assembly instructions are not provided. A special booklet entitled Guide to Building Wood Furniture is included with each Furniture Designs, Inc. plan and includes many tips explaining the "component theory" of woodworking.
