I’m fascinated by the carousel clamp.

It's not obvious in the pic but the laminations are clamped with a heavy nylon web strap tensioned with air cylinders. Sorry I don't have a better picture.

Yea, I'll bet they have that down to a science.

Loved seeing the shop!

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing! I aim to make / carve one of the wing sofa's in a bench version for a kitchen table addition. Love the lines and flow.
Have always been a fan of the Vita line too (particularly the lounge), but I'm not a small guy and I'd be sorely disappointed if I broke it sitting on it, lol.
I'm always pleased to hear that there are a handful (though it is rare) of american craftsman that do furniture today and can compete.
