Cherry Folding Chair

Great job. The chair looks great. Really like the inlays.

Sweet build, Jim!

Growing up, my best friend was from Wisconsin (your neck of the woods). He always said that summer in Wisconsin was 3 weeks of poor skiing.

Very nicely done. Sounds like you could pick up some custom orders for other people at the shows. Looks great.

Amazing build on the chair Jim. The bowtie really sets it off…what’s that white stuff all over the ground??? I thought you wintered in Arizona buddy

Super COOL chair…

It would be nice to see how all of the pivot points were made…

That is one sweet chair, sits smooth , rides like the Monteeeee…..Great workmanship, and great design, fits my butt and back perfectly. it may come up missing at our car shows, you’ll have to guard your seat so to speak..

That’s a really neat chair Jim, now for the folding model … Snow? Are you not in Arizona for the winter?

I went back and looked at the photos … it does fold up … my bad for not looking at all of the pics first.

Thanks you all for the nice comments. Yup, that is snow and I wish I was skiing!!

Hi John, I won’t take order for chairs. My most unfavorite thing to make!!

Hi Buster, I’ll be in Arizona for New Years Eve!! Winding down the project here between blowing snow!!

Hi Bambi. It is plenty strong to hold you!!!!

Hi Joe, I had taken a lot of process shots but somehow they got deleted and I did not know it until after I glued it together today. Briefly, I have 4 SS pins sticking out of the sides of the seat. Two of them go into brass bushing in the front leg and two of them go into slots in the real leg and they run in that slot when folding the chair. The back has a 3 degree tilt back off vertical for a comfortable back rest and the seat is 19” high and pitched down 3 degrees in the back. The lower stringers each have 2 dowels in each end into the frames and the back has 4 dowels on each end into the frame. The seat has a bunch of biscuits in it on the low side so I did not cut into them when carving out the seat. The pivots consist of 2 – 1/4” brackets pressed and screwed into the front frame member and then held with a SS pins in the rear member and secured with screws.

Hi Bruce. Glad you liked it. I’ll bring it tonight to the guild meeting but the winder won’t be ready!!

Hi Mike, Now I need to sew up a bag for it so it does not get all scratched up in the trunk!!

Cheers, Jim
