Eliptical Rocker

Project by cnccutter posted 142 days ago 651 views 7 times favorited 15 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I got hooked on designing flatpack furniture and this rocker came out of it all. so far everyone seems to like it and its really stable. I tried to roll it over backwards, but because of the elips, I just couldn’t do it. the grand kids even gave a go and it did pretty well.

Cool project is the larger one adult size? The little ones look like they are for dolls.
Also, nice CNC router…I’m curently working on a homemade CNC. But it’s slow going.
Anyway…nice rockers what do you plan on for a finish?

this is really cute!!
you should commercialize it. I am sure furniture shops would jus love it, as you can stuff the diassembled furniture into the back of your SUV or even hatchback.

did you glue it or does it stay in place by some miracle joinery? it all seems to be locked in place other than the seat.

thanks for the encuragement. I’ve worked on this design for a while now. the smaller ones in the picture are the prototype models. Grand daughters get them for their dolls after I work out all the troubles.

Moshel, the whole rocker is held together with nothing other than locking joints. i have about 20 pieces of furniture that are all based on the same locking joint.

Hey Eric
Very impressive design. From your name I gather it was done on a cnc. I’m guessing there’s some connection with Great Brittan because of your term flatpack. Really well done.
