MBerger,

Re: Maloof Rocker - Roughing into SketchUp
Nice try Tim ... but ... have you ever come across an actual Maloof rocker???? Your front legs are much too proud of the seat and theose joints should sit 3/4 inches into the seat.
posted: 4:28 pm on June 10thThe screws (which are not necessary if the joinery is good) should be left to the very last in order to allow for shaping of the parts. Also, the end user will find this seat somewhat painful, as the hard edge should be on the bottom of the front edge of the seat, not the top, which should be well rounded for the user's comfort. Rout over the top side edges of the seat with a 3/4 roundover bit. Do the same for both sides, top and bottom of the legs and back legs, top to bottom. Take more meat off the armrests as they are too klunky. Then, using an angle grinder, die grinder, and sander, grind and then sand the piece for about 100 hours. THEN put the screws into the joints, if you so desire. Good luck and best wishes.
