Very cool

OMG! This is the quintessential reason why I’m on LJ’s. I actually don’t even really like the design of these chairs at first glance, but you did such an amazing job both in the execution and the documentation of them that I’m so blown away by their simplicity and elegance that I had to Favorite it for future reference. Thank you for sharing and expanding my mind!

You make pocket screwing a good thing! LOL! A visual blog which is well photographed! With your methods it is a really well done presentation. I know these are Danish but they edge on art studio furniture. Masterfully done sir!

Wow! Added to favorites.
This chair came out even better than the previous one. Elegant solution with the recessed straps. Think that you hit that sweet spot between MCM and a touch of personal moderen. Great work.

And great pictures as well
Thank you for sharing with us!

Nice work.

I’m actually making the exact same thing at the moment.

How are you attaching the seat straps? I can’t come up with a good way to cut the 45 degree slot for a fagas strap. I’m probably going to do the vertical clips instead, as then I can rout the slot for the strap.

Dowels to attach the arms?

You mortised all the stretchers? I worry about the lower rear stretcher, as you’d mortise right into the mortise/tenon for the back, and the entire weak point of the whole structure should be the main long structural member (that becomes the back legs) right at that point. I know the original used keyholes for all the stretchers.

I’m trying to do as close as a copy to the original as possible, the only place I’m notably changing (except ditching the keyholes) is the joint where the arm attaches in the front, the original did like you did and angled, I cut the joint so that the joint can be done when the arm is simply a board.

Incredible design, incredible way you’ve done it. I’m still trying to figure all steps.
