My boy had a small plank chair that he got off a blanket at the Flying M Rondy years ago and I used those proportions to make mine. I cut the slot 12in up from the bottom of the back rest. The same for the seat I made it 12in also. The slot itself is the key to the comfort of the chair. Not the width so much as the height of it's opening. The wider (taller if you are measuring top to bottom on the back rest) the slot the bigger angle you get between the seat and the back rest. I recommend first cutting the slot just big enough to get the seat plank through. This will make you set kind of straight up. Then I opened the hole with a rasp a little at a time until it felt just comfy! I am thinking I left 2 to 2 and a half inches of the plank left on each side of the backrest when I cut the slot. One other thing, I made four chairs and there great, but the backs only came up 3 feet above the seat. This is great, until that warm fire makes you want to lean that drunken head back!

Anyway I am going to make a slotted wooden chair for myself out of it to leave at Fort Union for my yearly visits. Can someone that owns a nicely proportioned one tell me what the measurements are. I don't want to experiment nor do I have enough wood to have a mistake. All I need is the distance from the ground to the bottom of the slot on the backboard, the length of the section that extends through the backrest to the ground and the width of the slot (half of the board?) I would imagine the height of the backrest is the least crucial measurement. It can also be fairly high too as I don't think I can get two chairs out of 12 feet. I took some measurements at a rendezvous once but have no idea what I did with them. The snow is flying today and all the rivers are frozen solid so it's a good time to get it done.

Are you getting the information you need? I noticed you got a message from John Kramer. John is ver knowledgable about this stuff. I personally have been involved in the activities and research for a long time and in fact am the originator of the "rebirth of the rendezvous" with the first one in the 20th century at Fort Bridger, Wyoming in 1973 and the first one for the American Mountain Men on the original Henry's Fork site in 1974 and the first one at Fort Buena Ventura in 1979 and others. Currently I am working with programs for Fort Buena Ventura to create a living history venue and also with the American West Heritage Center to create a full-functioning fur trade post on the grandest scale. Both the above are intended to teach about the fur trade as it truely was rather than the version put forth by the current bunch of leather clad, well-intentioned, but poorly schooled bunch that presents themselves as "mountain men". I equate that to a "Lash LaRue" 1945 kid's matinee movie (I loved 'em) depicting the life of an 1880s cowboy and the associated Indians - most of whom needed to be shot. Let me know if you have gaps in the program you are developing.

The number 1 most important thing is NEVER, EVER reply to the junk mail that bombs your inbox, or try and unsubscribe. The stuff that comes from a website you've visited, that's one thing. They have a record of your visit, and you may have done business with them, so they know you're real, and you might be interested in hearing from them again. BUT, the crap that just appears out of the blue, DO NOT reply, or ask to be removed. Most spammers buy CDs with millions of email addresses on them, and they use them in a scattergun approach. Most of those email addresses are bogus, some will give them business, enough for them to keep doing what they are doing. By replying, what you have done is confirm that your address is NOT bogus, and get's you sold to other email CDs, which is the spin-off business of spammers - selling YOUR info to other spammers. This is company policy where I work (a 5000 person software development company). We add the sender to a block list, and hopefully, our server takes care of it, but under no circumstances are we to reply to it. I've taken apart some of the spam I've gotten and the "unsubscribe" link was a confirmation link, to a completely different place. Pissed me off to be certain. ANY place you go to keeps track of your email address, and a lot web sites generate revenue by selling that information. So, I use a free service like Yahoo for stuff on web sites that want an email address. Places like amazon, ebay, etc. Buddy of mine maintains several different accounts, and he pays attention to which ones he uses where. If spam starts showing up on one of them, he knows who he's given it to, and raises hell with them. I don't have that much time to spend playing with the web myself. So far, my yahoo account doesn't get much spam. This stupid account, is at about 50% spam. I'm on 3 lists, and get about 50 a day, and I can count on my spam filters nailing about 10-12 of those, and then me having to delete the others, and add them to the "banned" senders lists.

Not on topic, but marked OT. The combination of Spamcop: http://spamcop.net/ and Mailwasher: http://www.mailwasher.net are helping, for me. You report spam to Spamcop by forwarding it to a secure account, where it is dissected and addresses are pushed onto automated ban lists > "Blacklists". Mailwasher checks your incoming mail against those blacklists before you POP account and shows you what it thinks is SPAM. It can also blacklist and bounce SPAM, so to a SPAMmer your account looks dead. Not perfect, but improving. Not available for AOL yet.
