Hall of Fame Kit
Over the past 2 decades many people have given us innovative ideas for devices that help make Windsor chairmaking easier. These people have been honored by being voted into the Chairmakers Hall of Fame and their certificates hang at The Institute. Many of these innovations hang on the benches at The Institute for student use. Our kit contains all of these devices, as well as other handy aids.

The kit contains:
  • winding sticks
  • a Van Hovenometer
  • an Incra Stick
  • a straight edge
  • wedges for leveling a chair
  • a drilling cradle
  • Wesson's Schott in the Back
    (long and short)
  • a "no name" sighting stick for drilling holes in a sack back arm
