Resuming Gragg

It’s been many moons since Chris and I were able to schedule some time together in the video studio as he has been overwhelmingly busy with a new full-time job, a new old house that needed a lot of work, and a new baby that was born last month in the back seat of the car while on the way to the birthing center.  Plus, we’ve all been under house arrest for over three months so there is that disruption.  At least my travel schedule has been light; eleven of my eleven teaching/lecturing commitments for the year were cancelled.

But we are back to planning some video next month, and in the mean time I am trying to wrap up chair #2 to get it delivered to a phenomenally patient client.  In order to capture the final piece of the video we need I will actually start another chair and get it to that point of the filming.  And, I have penciled in the week after next for my pedal-to-the-medal exercise in building a chair in five days to see if I can schedule a workshop on that project for next year.  If that works out and the pandemic has run its course I might offer a Gragg Chair and a ripple molding machine workshop for next summer.

Stay tuned.
