Man Builds Rocking Chair Using No Power Tools

Mesmerizing.

Very impressive.

Side note, that axe is fucking sharp. The way it casually slides 3 odd inches in to the block he sinks it in to at the start is a good indication that a bad swing would probably cost a person a body part...

Very very cool, but it seems to me that the structural integrity seems to be compromised at the back/seat joint. He uses quite massive blocks for the two. Sure its good for a sitting or two, but the strain of many seatings.. those small plugs, even combined with the armchair rest will not be massive, to say the least. I would have chosen cutout thick spikes in the back (Think of the back part with as a massive E, like "IIIIE" all in one part, with the spikes of the E going through three square holes in the seat.

Foot-powered....ya missed it-

@BicycleRepairMan-He's using some dense, seasoned hickory, I'm thinking the material's grain and density covers a good portion of the Fred Flintstony design integrity. This isn't the standard Windsor-style rocker for frail, featherlight granny-asses either-This is a brick-shithouse, truck-driver's-ass, Rockerthing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but last I heard, an electric lathe is a power tool.
