Hank Chair
Designed as a static lounge chair, the Hank Chair's sophistication lies in the details. The Hank appears in many of Jory Brigham Designs collections because of its versatility and variety of cushion options. This course will cover the upholstered cushion version. With 24 different joints, the chair is sure to be an interesting build. Jory primarily uses the Festool Domino for his joints but Marc Spagnuolo will provide supplemental content showing how to make the same joints using a router and traditional loose (slip) mortise and tenon joinery.
Chair measures approximately 30"D x 28"H x 29"W

Reviews:
Super fun build. I had Staples print the patterns $4.23 well spent. The videos and plans together made the project very straight forward. I had no significant questions that were not readily answered by the lessons. The technique of cutting calls into the excess wood was genius. I doubt I would ever have thought to do that and it made the joinery very rewarding.
Awesome project! I love that Jory has a distinct style both in the project design as well as his in shop techniques. A valuable addition to the Guild pantheon. Can’t wait to get started on a few chairs.
Such an excellent project. Jory has a very interesting and unique method of getting things done. I’ve definitely learned a ton in this project and picked up tips and tricks that i’ll be using in the future. And oh…The chairs are beautiful too !
