Now that I have seen your web site, I’m sorry to see that your moving out of town. Your work is amazing. I will certinly keep up with what your working on.
Thanks for the offer of a free plan, but I think it will be a while before I am ready to attempt something of this scale and complexity.

Your welcome Bill. Good luck in Utah. I hope the move lives up to your expectations. I’ll think about making a chair one of these days.

After 50 + years woodworking, rocking chairs is all I do now. You can see some of them on my web site at www.kappelusa.com. No need to post pictures on this site.

PanamaJack, I am glad too.
Wayne, the move took more energy than I though it would. Organizing my shop is taking more time than I thought. I love the area so all in all thing are good.
I am anxious to start making rockers again. I also have students coming for lessons so this year is a busy one.
Thanks to all you Lumberjocks for asking.

gorgeous rockers—and the glass… WOW.
I have 3 antique rockers in my basement waiting to be fixed… and waiting, and waiting, and waiting. I can’t even tackle “fixing” let alone building one from scratch.
Amazing creations.

I have been busy with two moves this last year as well as making custom work. After 45 years in one place I now live in Utah, it is great. This is the first time to live in the snow, I am learning a lot about the stuff.
If any of you woodworkers want FREE instructions on how to build a custom rocker similar to the SM style go to my web site at www.kappelusa.com. Click on the left side of the opening page and choose a code # to email me. I will send over 40 page of free info with all the good stuff like pictures, jigs, shop secrets etc. The code # alerts me to serious woodworking subjects not just junk mail.
