Chair Devils Designed to remove tool marks from chair spindles and posts, this hard-to-find scraping tool is simple to make. Last year I spent a week in the Cobden, Ontario, workshop of David Fleming, learning to make a ladderback Appalachian chair. One tool that particularly fascinated me was the chair devil or spindle scraper. This deceptively simple tool removes any spoke-shave marks that remain after shaping chair spindles and posts. I photographed and measured the tool that Fleming made, and I returned to Calgary to make my own. I found a brief description of the tool and its con struction in Drew Langsner's book "The Chairmaker's Workshop" (Lark). I enlisted the aid of machinist Larry Diegel, who helped me shape the metal parts of this tool by Kathy Somerville and Larry Diegel Kathy has been buildingfurniture, building and restoring canoes and wooden boats, and turning wood for 20 years. She teaches diverse courses such as turning, and making paddles, spokeshaves and Shaker boxes. Larry, who has been a machinist for 25 years, teaches courses on making spokeshaves and metalworking. 102 Popular Woodworking December 2005 |
