PORTABLE CHAIR I MADE FOR BARB IN 1979

Very nice chair and the girl is also not too bad looking LOL
I had found a plan at one time for a chair somewhat like that and I will have to look to find it I always wanted to make one. Thanks for posting

very cool…I like this design…I may need to use is too!!! I have been promising a chair for a colleague…and this may be the ticket…

30 years ago??? wow…what a craftsman!

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

The chair faired well over 30 years..What was the wood? The wife faired well too. Hope i live that long. That will give me 28 more years of woodworking.

-- If at first you don't succeed...Buy another tool !!

Looks great AND functional. Now that is a design I like!

-- James - What's your excuse this time??

Great looker and chair is nice too.

Nice job Dick. do you have to pull the seat out to fold it up? what holds it in the folded position?

-- Debt is nothing more than the 21st Century's form of slavery.

I’m making a set very similar to this for our Tahoe trip. Nice. Does the bottom nest inside the back?

-- You can't control the wind, but you can trim your sails

nice. this one is really cool – I like how it folds cleanly.

-- When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route.

Captain…can you post your plan for the folding chair?

Very nice Dick.

GMan, here's an old plan for a chair like that.

-- Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can walk.

Thanks DaveR I printed that one,looks pretty close to the one Dick has !

I said folding but it looks like it is a 2 piece chair

-- --<<<<<< I will not stop until I get it right. >>>>>>--

The plan DaveR shows is very similar to my plan.

Except my sides are tapered, giving the legs a little more strength,

plus a little classier looking. Ahem!

I’ll try, & find my pattern, but it’s been a long long time ago. LOL

Here’s what I’m using:

Patio Chair and Love Seat.pdf

I laid out the curves according to the coordinates, but it’s still a little wavy. I’m going to make gauge blocks, based on the width of the two pieces, to standardize the width along the curve.

The plans I’m using make the legs nice looking aesthetically, but they’re not flush to the floor/ground like the one shown above. I’ll have to make an executive decision on that one…

Tha’s a marvelous folding chair. I am sure the weight of the chair must be light enough to carry.

CaptainSkully,

That looks pretty close to my design.

It looks pretty nice.

Here’s a free plan for a beach chair that’s made similar to mine, but it folds.
