The plans are from Hal Taylor (see the first post in this series). The holes for the back slats were covered a couple of posts back - i used a router with collar in the template. The template is from Hal. He creates them with a CNC router. However it could easily be made in the shop with a router. --Mark Robert,

Sorry about that. The brace holes are perpendicular to the seat. However they are really ovals. They were made with the template shown, a guide bushing and a 1/4" up-cut spiral bit with the plunge router. The idea is that the laminated back braces will move slightly within the oval hole providing a bit of "flex" to them when sitting in the chair and thus adding some more comfort. I posted a bit on the original Rough Cut Forum but, I have not posted to the new one. At your urging, I'll sign up and re-introduce myself. Thanks for stopping by! --Mark Hey Chuck,

If they are at an angle...what is the angle and how did you do make them? Your making some real progress on the project. We have seen you for awhile at the Rough Cut Forum, you may want to post that your building the great project over here on your blog. Chuck Mark
