Latest project progress, another loveseat rocker for my sister. It's getting there slowly. Need to finish it by July 3rd.

FedEx Tracking lied, said my converter - https://www.ebay.com/itm/290900842912 - would come in Monday. It arrived today. Electrician is scheduled for Wednesday.
Got Northfield's price on a set-of-four 16" jointer blades - $420 plus shipping, plus 3% for credit card transaction. Wowza! Didn't think they would have been that much. I may shop other vendors.... undecided.

You might give them a call, IIRC Infinity, way back when, was JESADA
router bits. I think they manufacture their own stuff.

I had glanced at a few online sources, set of 3 for about $80, then thought I'd decide what to do, later. Infinity's site doesn't have 16" blades!?

Thank you.
I had made this one - https://www.flickr.com/photos/43836144@N04/8146451666=
/in/photostream - for Mom many years ago. Probably the most comfortable s=
eating I've ever made. Since Mom has passed, my sister wants it for her o=
ldest son.
She wants this new one for her other son. I think it's seating (comfort) =
profile is exactly as the first. I had made templates for the first chair=
, so I have good resources for this one. The hardest parts were to custom=
mate the arms to the backrest curved style, multiple angles to mate.
The angled arms do present, somewhat, an issue for drink containers, but it=
's not really that big of deal. The angle might look drastic, but not real=
ly so. Also, one usually doesn't let go of a drink on any chair arm and mo=
re so on a moving (rocking) chair. It's also not so easy, sometimes, to ta=
ke a sip while rocking.... you have to stop rocking to take a sip without s=
pilling your drink, and I suppose especially after too many sips. I had m=
entioned making the arms flat, but Lorraine wanted them angled.
This new one is made with pecan, except for the top backrest rail, which is=
(live edge) hickory.... I didn't have a decent pecan board for that top ra=
il. The first one was made with red oak.

Very nice. My first thought was wow, that looks like it will be really,
really comfortable. My second thought was, where would I set my beer?

Ouch!. Might want to look into getting a replacement, spiral segmented
cutter head for that sucker. Several places make them, might not be all
that much more, and they really do a much better job in all ways.

Those should be carbide-tipped at that price. Check on HSS.
<http://www.americannationalknife.com/13To17.asp> are in the $110 range
for sets of 4 HSS; but about the same for HCT and you probably don't
want to know what solid carbide would be... :)
You can also try Oella - <www.oellasawandtool.com> or Carbide
Processors, Inc./Southeast Tool <www.carbideprocessors.com> (they carry
full line, not just carbide)
