Made these for Mom and Dad in Florida, so they had to be shipped from Michigan. And then easily reassembled. I scaled them to fit; Dad is tall so his is larger than Moms. These are foldable. Made with stainless steel bolts and screws. Hand routed. I used white oak in the high stress parts. Took photos in sequence as assembly instructions for Dad.
As usual with most of my projects, I made plexi glass templates of all of the parts so I can make identical projects in the future.

Wow, great project and I’m sure Mom and Dad will love them! From what I can tell, you just added white oak support strips across the back?

There are two swing arms that attach the legs to the back, the swing arms take a beating as well as the stringers across the back, hence the oak.

I’m building a set out of cedar right now. My first time working with Cedar. Finding it difficult to prevent chip-out with the router. Especially with templating bit on a pattern. How did you find working with Cedar?

Jcontract….I always rout the end grain first, and use sharp bits. Try packing tape also.

Nice job, I have been looking for a set of fold-up chair plans like that. Would you mind sharing where you obtained the plans so I can order a set also?

Vincent,
Bad news, but I didn’t use a plan…..I eyeballed my neighbors crappy pine chairs and winged it. Sorry. I do have plexy templates so when you’re in Michigan, stop by!
