renners,

I absolutely loved that video. Never seen it before. Awesome. I certainly would put to use a 5 axis CNC.

I must say that I prefer mortis and tenon over dowel or floating tenon. Not saying it can't work but the former sure seems a more long lasting joint. The chair makes me want to see if I can steam bend those curves rather than just cut the shape into the wood.

That's really nice. I've got some scraps that I think would be perfect for a few of these. You can never have too many chairs.

So are those mortise and tenon joints on the legs? How about the back rest - how's it fastened?

Very nice.

All the leg joints are mortise and tenon and pegged from the inside. The back support is connected with dowels. It is a very rare place that I use a dowel for joinery but for that use it is plenty sufficient.

Great idea, and they look fantastic too. Can't wait to see the "stackable" bed frames! :)

Caleb,

What is the height at top of chair back? I'm interested to know if it's easy to make this design slide under a standard dining table height (say 29 inches). Earlier this week somebody showed me a Maloof design that does without modification. If you have a moment could you look up what the height was?

Thanks,
Dave

Sure Ezjack, I don't claim any chair design as holy or sacred. Like the Shakers. Use it if you please.

The height is 32" approximately. I think the angle for the bend from the back legs going into the back rest was like 34º. It has been a bit since I made this so could be off. The best angle for casual dining is usually about 12º in relation to the seat. Seat drop is good at 3º front to back.
