Kingston Library Chairs - All glued up

We've still been at it the past couple weeks, working hard on the chairs for the Kingston Library.  The chairs glued up really nicely.  The joints are tight and the chairs generally came together fairly easily and square.  The sheer number of chairs has been challenging.  Gary and I have been joking that we get each step of gluing up or fitting parts down to a science by about the 25th chair.  The dovetailed center stretchers went in pretty quickly, but the finishing up with glue clean off and sanding has been slower going.  I've attached a few more photos of the building action below.

  As Matt likes to call it, "the 200 year joint." 

Nice morning at the mill.  On the way to get donuts at Monkey Business!

Morning light on the glued up chairs.
