Deck chair

Project by sharad posted 343 days ago 376 views 1 time favorited 7 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This deck chair was constructed by me years back along with many others. I noticed that it had become lose in joints and the top rails for resting hands were also damaged. The canvas seat had become lose and old. I dismantled the whole structure, gave each part a face lift, made two new top rails and one leg and finished everything with polyurethan (oak yellow). The canvas seat was replaced after stitching it myself on my Singer sewing machine (1944 model in excellent shape). In all there are 24 mortice and tennon joints which were all done with hand tools. I like this chair because it is very comfortable and can be folded. The legs are attached to the seat by four iron strips with nuts and bolts. The wood used for the chair except the top railings is local variety of teak

Fine folding chair. It has held up well over the years.

Hey Sharad
This is a very nice chair. It must be well built to last this long. Good job.
