Hi Pat,
I'll have to get back to you with a better take on the materials, but here
is a _very_ accurate time breakdown, by task, for fabrication of the six
chairs (not including prototyping/design time):
Mill/Layout/Cut Parts on Cut List: 30.25
Setup/route Mortises: 39.00
Initial sand/surface preparation: 19.75
Glueup: 12.75
Final Sand: 8.00
Stain: 5.75
Sealcoat TBD
105 hours/30 minutes thus far ... probably another four to six hours for the
seal coat.
A Cutlist Plus run on the material for the six chars with wooden seats (QSWO
@ $6.10 bf) shows $967.51 ... but I already a good deal of that in inventory
left over from previous projects.

Nahh ... it's designed for that spot:
http://65.205.120.222/images/ACset3.jpg
Actually, I made the two extra chairs (six instead of the needed four in the
space), so that the table could be used in someone's else's (daughter's?)
dining room after I'm long gone.
One extra chair will go under the clock, where it is no, ready for action.
And the other will go very well with SWMBO's writing desk to replace the
"chair that started it all" ... providing I can convince her to give up the
upholstered seat, poplar, prototype:

As for the bench, she/they/future owners can put it in the hall, for all I
care. ;)

The floors in question are only 4+ years old. Built the house back in early
02, SWMBO picked the color, and I left the choice of finish up to the sub
... I was out of town for that week and was never happy with the sanding job
they did.

Damn!!
I was so impressed with the swingman's chair odyssey that I never thought to
check his math.
I came up with 115.50 as well.
Maybe TBD means subtract ten hours??
That's a lot of time and materials but the effort
certainly looks nice. Chairs have always been a
"scary item" for me to tackle.
Your design appears to take some of the scary out,
but that is a LOT of M&T that must be perfect.
Did't you buy one of those snazzy M&T machines ???

Beautiful work!

Thanks for all of your posts. You post good information, answer
intelligent questions, and post a lot of information for those of us
that aren't up to your level yet.

Why do I add that all up to 115.5?
No matter, they look good how ever long it took you!!! Great work.

My oak floors look exactly like his, I used McCloskey Gymseal.
Waterlox Original's original entrance to the market was as a floor varnish.
I think you covered part of this already but
do a T&M recap for those of us that maight be
crazy enough to start our very own. I recall
that you kept pretty tight records on this
deal.
