Request for Windsor Rocking Chair plans

[pammy]

Hi,

My father is a keen wood turner and I have challenged him to make me a rocking chair. He said he would if I could source the design plans for a Windsor Rocking Chair.

I've goggled around without much luck, can anyone here point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,

Pam

Hi Pam.

Try this link, http://www.craftdesigns.freeserve.co.uk/chairs.html. Or if there is nothing there you fancy, drop the site owner David Bryant a email, he may be able to point you somewhere. He can be very helpful, and is very knowledgeable about old designs of furniture..

Hi Pam,

I can't provide you plans for the Windsor rocker I made because they are copyright - but here's a step by step of the chair I made.

By the way - turning is the easy bit (assuming you can turn of course :lol: )

Thank you very much for all your replies.

Good Surname or what ? - Thank you very much for the link - it is very impressive and exactly what we are looking for. I understand the design is copyrighted, but I am willing to go through the proper channels to get a design. Can you help me with this please?

Thanks again,

Pam

Pam,

The design is from http://www.thewindsorworkshop.co.uk. This is a teaching workshop so he may not wish to sell his designs.

I wasn't being facetious when I said the turning is the easy bit. I could not have made my first chairs without expert guidance. I hope your father has a wider experience than just turning.

Thanks again, Dad has made a Bow Chair before (below), so hopefully the following of instructions should compliment his skills.

Well your dad is certainly a better turner than me
