About Benches, Stools, And Chairs: A Guide To Ergonomic
Review This thoughtful, multi-skill, how-to book for creating custom-fit wooden furniture with handwoven seating appeals to both woodworkers and weavers. The authors ask users to consider body and equipment measurements when designing weaving benches, spinning chairs, and barstools for an ergonomic fit. This resource is for skilled woodworkers with access to a well-stocked woodshop, as well as power and hand tools. It is also for intermediate to experienced fiber artists interested in weaving their own comfortable benches or chairs. -- Tina Bliss Tim Moran ― Shuttle, Spindle & Dyepot, Spring 2023 Product Description Walter Turpening has been designing and perfecting custom seating for crafters and artistic creators (particularly weavers, knitters, handspinners, and musicians) for 20-plus years. His signature cotton-cord, curved, woven seats on fine woodworked frames are fervently desired by those who have sampled his seating, and he operates on an average two-year waiting list. In recent years, he has expanded his repertoire to include ergonomic office chairs and barstools. In this book, he shares what he has learned in his journey as a chair maker to help you make the bench or chair of your dreams. At the heart of Walter's methods is making each seat specifically to fit the individual while working at their favorite craft or intended use. He teaches how to take the measurements needed for perfect ergonomic comfort, and how to apply them to create your perfect seat. With his step-by-step instructions, photos, and diagrams, you will see how Walter creates his custom seating, and be able to replicate his techniques in your own benches, stools, and chairs.
