Rocking chair with painted wooden frame and upholstered seat and backrest in workshop setting






ALFRED NILA, WEST COVINA, CA

Softer seating. When building Spike Carlson’s child’s rocker from the Dec/Jan 2019 issue, Nila stuck with the overall dimensions and joinery details provided, but added padding to the hard plywood seat. Definitely the chair to choose for sitting in the corner.

Wooden bookends shaped like a try square and a combination square holding magazines upright on a workbench




ROBERT CARPENTIER, WEST ISLIP, NY

“Square” bookends. Carpentier built these tool-inspired bookends using cherry, bubinga, walnut, and maple.

This allows positioning and locking the bookends in place anywhere along the length of the slot.
