You have done a excellent job with the Glider James,  I agree with Jay the curved top rail on the back rest makes it look really good. Thank you James for taking the time to show your wonderful work. I really do appreciate it.

Jay , thank you for the very nice comment on my glider , did have a few day,s in this one !! The notch/ dado  was put in by hand with my router and a special attachment on the bottom of the router to get the curb just right, very old craftsman router , HA!!  Also the notch where the arm fastens to the back leg had a 12 degree angle , cut it on the scroll saw, one side was easy , the other side had to reverse the blade and cut it back wards to get the right angle , have to improvise some times , HA!!  Made it for a guy,s wife for her Birthday, deliver it next week !!  Have a great day , JIM !!!

Hi Jim, Now this is a very nice build with all he joinery executed like it should be done.  The back is a real eye catcher as it has a nice curve in the top rail and all of the slats are well done.  Like the arm and how they connect to the seat and platform.   I can see all the hours of work that you put into this project but the results are well worth it.  I can see nothing that I would do differently.  This is a keeper  with a long life of quite moment of relaxation for the proud owner.  Thanks for posting.
