Chiropractic Cervical Chair. Made of pine (underneath fabric), BXC plywood, and oak legs and supports. The hinged mechanism on the back allows for the backrest to be set at different reclining angles, or to be completely lowered to the floor. All upholstery was done by me as well. Thanks for looking!
Is anyone interested in seeing a video/picture blog on how to do upholstery like this? I’ve tinkered with the thought of doing something like this. Its not technically woodworking, but is a good skill to have to go along with your woodworking….

Nice chair Doug! You’re pretty good at upholstery!
I wished you lived closer. I have a leather hide that would make a nice chair covering!!

Good job. I bet all your fellow class mates are bugging you to make them adjusting chairs and KtoC tables as well. Remember to protect those hands!

Nice chair, I would be interested in some how to on upholstery. I’m building a chair now that has an upholstered seat. My backs a little stiff this morning after a whole day on the workshop yesterday, maybe also a blog on back care for woodworkers!

Cracknpop – yeah I’ve made about 8 of them so far for fellow students! I charge $200 for each chair. Pretty fair price considering a Gonstead of Thomas chairs are $350+. I’ve been asked several times to do a Knee/Chest but I said no…too much work and I dont have time. I also make a portable pelvic bench for $325.

Nice chair Dakremer! That’s a good skill set to combine woodworking with your
chiropractic profession, may you have continued success in both.
