Rocking chair plans are a great tool to build a solid rocking chair. Then you can add your own creative juice and give a unique personnal touch to your masterpiece.
My Dad bought some rocking chair plans thinkingabout making a rocking chair over a year ago. He has been real busy andnever seemed to have the time to get to it. When he got the news he wasgoing to be a grandfather for the first time, he knew that the righttime had come to make his chair.
He is the kind of guy who wantsto make something nobody has, a unique creation, no mather how long ittakes. Well, he said, I got about 8 months left to have it done on timeto rock my first grand child. That said, he began to go to countrystores and furniture outlets on the weekends to get some ideas. He wasdetermined to make a very original chair.
He went to CrackerBarrel, got some magazines
So I went to hiscomputer and logged into the program. I pulled the chair plans and Ifound several rocking chairs designs. I printed them all out and wentback to the living room and showed him what I had found. He took a longstare at the plans and gave me a big smile. I told me that he did notsee any chairs like that anywhere he went and he really liked one ofthem.
The following week my dad had bought the material and hadstarted to cut the pieces of the chair. He made a special carved designin the back that was his original idea. I was very impressed by thefinal result when he got done a couple month later. He worked on itevery once in a while and took the time to sand it real good and to putseveral coats of varnish to protect it. I am sure that using theserocking chair plans was a great idea.
My best moment was a littlewhile after my son was born when I saw my dad rocking him in his newchair. He said to me that now he had to made him a rocking horse andsome wooden toys. I told him with a smile that he knew where to look nowfor ideas.
