Wooden chair in a home workshop: I make grooves using a homemade additive router. Part 5

The next step in making a chair is the grooves in the legs. For the manufacture of grooves, a homemade filler mill is used.

A link to the drawings of this homemade product at the end of the article.

Previously, the horizontal parts of the chair were prepared for assembly: drawers and back parts. It remains to prepare the legs of the chair.

Let's start from the back. The upper part of the back rests on dowels.

Also, holes are made in the rear legs for dowels for the lower part of the back.

All these holes were made by marking and using a homemade additive router.

The marking was done according to the following scheme: I divided the end face of the part in which the dowels were drilled into three equal parts. Risks were made on the top plane of the part and then duplicated on another part to match.

As I said earlier, I made holes for the dowels using a homemade additive router. Its design provides for the ability to drill according to the marking.

If you use a drill or drilling machine for drilling, then the markings must be done on the drilling plane.

Side grooves. With the same filler, I made the grooves in the legs.

On the leg, he marked the position of the sidebar and the dimensions of the spike, and then drilled a number of holes along the spike markings and then ran a milling cutter from edge to edge to align the groove. This can be clearly seen in the video clip below.

Also, the grooves can be made using a drill or on a drilling machine. To do this, you need to drill a number of holes, and then align the groove with a chisel.

In the same way, grooves are made in the front legs.

I propose to look at the production of these parts of the chair. in the video clip.
