Windsor Chairmaking by James Mursell Pdf

Windsor chairs are a beautiful and traditional feature in any home. Some three hundred years of tradition lie behind chairs made today. While sound joints are essential, it is the sensitive shaping of each component that leads to a fine chair. This lavish book celebrates their history and explains their heritage. It compares and contrasts the distinct Windsor designs from England and America. Tools, techniques and the selection of materials are extensively covered. Detailed plans and measurements for four chairs [two English, two American] are provided and allow makers on one side of the Atlantic to attempt a chair from the other side. A unique study of a magnificent 18th century armchair brings to life the 260 year old story told by the tool marks and other clues left by the maker. Guidance and techniques explain how to design your own chair from scratch, taking into account the anthropomorphic nature of these chairs and the messages they can send out.

Mechanical Design for the Stage by Alan Hendrickson Pdf

Scenic effects involving rotating turntables, tracking stage wagons, and the vertical movement of curtains and painted drops have become common in both Broadway and Regional theatre productions. The machines that drive these effects range from small pneumatic cylinders pushing loads of a few pounds an inch or two, to 40 horsepower winches running multi-ton scenery at speeds 6 feet per second or more. Usually this machinery is designed by theatre technicians specifically for a particular show's effect. Compared to general industry, this design process is short, often only a few days long, it is done by one person, design teams are rare, and it is done in the absence of reference material specifically addressing the issues involved. The main goal of this book is to remedy this last situation. Mechanical Design for the Stage will be a reference for you that will: * provide the basic engineering formulas needed to predict the forces, torques, speeds, and power required by a given move * give a technician a design process to follow which will direct their work from general concepts to specific detail as a design evolves, and * show many examples of traditional stage machinery designs. The book's emphasis will be on following standard engineering design and construction practices, and developing machines that are functional, efficient to build, easily maintained, and safe to use.

Good Work by Christopher Williams Pdf

John Brown (1932-2008) was a Welsh chairmaker, boatbuilder, author, jet pilot, smallholder and so much more.His book "Welsh Stick Chairs" and his columns in Good Woodworking magazine inspired a generation of hand-tool woodworkers and chairmakers all over the world to build things that lived up to label of "Good Work."This book recounts the chairmaking career of John Brown by the people who were there - family, friends, editors and (most of all) Chris Williams, who worked in conjunction with John Brown for a decade to refine the Welsh stick chair to its purest form. In addition to recalling his time working with John Brown, Chris shows how to make one of these simple but beguiling chairs using a small kit of hand tools.
