Seventeenth-century chairs of this type were produced by turners. The chair’s components were quickly fashioned on a lathe, easily assembled, and finished with seats woven from rush or another inexpensive fiber. This armchair is one of a minority of seventeenth-century turned chairs with posts ornamented below the seat and it represents a rare occurrence of turnings on both the rear and front legs.

This is my current spindle drive with its' three belts and multiple idler pulleys. Buried in the frame in the back corner is the spindle drive motor - it's a whopping 60 watt motor. It's fine for an engraver, but I use it as a CNC mill/router. That motor's gotta go, I've got a 1Hp Bosch trim router that is just waiting to take the place of the original spindle. The last thing the original spindle will do is machine its' replacement.
My class spindle purchased during lessons with Diane Mulholland. Spindle is made from Cherry - not sure what wood the shaft is made from.

I handmade these for Mom. Last time I visited, she was fascinated by my spindle, and said maybe she'd like to try it. But I'd brought my spendy one with me, and when she asked what it had cost me I think my answer put her off. So I decided to make her a few spindles from cheap supplies, to show her it could be done, and to give her something guilt-free to experiment with.
