However, this position is not held once the clamps are removed. Instead, make subtle adjustments in the position of the pads of the clamps across the front of the frame, checking the diagonals with diagonal sticks. http://www.kerfandswarf.com/blog/2017/5/6/sborg-chairs-are-finished monthly 0.5 2017-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fe769eebbd1a555cf19609/1495647583460-H6RN2Y06KTVA1N11TFVB/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Søborg Chairs are finished!
