Those sure look nice. I’m going to favorite this one for a future project!
Thanks.

Thanks a lot!

Really nice design.
I bought some smaller chairs like these when I was in Costa Rica about 30 years ago, and over the years they were broken or given away.
I have been thinking about how the chairs were made and wanted to try and make a set.
With this, you have made my job a lot easier. These are not exact copies of the ones that I had but area great design. Thanks.

Very nice. Thx.

-- At least in the Navy no one ever told me to put the seat down.....

YOU ALL PROBABLY FIGURED THIS OUT BUT ALL MEASUREMENTS NOTED ON THE TEMPLATES ARE MEASURED FROM THE TOP OR FROM THE FRONT. Sorry for missing this earlier.

Just saw your table and chairs – very well done. Then read where you posted the chair, had to see it. Excellent. I have to try a couple of those. I really would like to use cedar, any thoughts on that?

-- Quality is easy to see - but hard to explain

I dont see any reason why cedar wont work IF you can find heavy enough stock. Im not sure 3/4” cedar would be rigid enough. Note that my legs are a full 7/8” thick. Other than that it should be OK. Try to avoid knots in the load bearing areas as most cedar is loaded with knots. My chairs are made from reclaimed doug fir 2×12s. The jatoba and walnut are made from 4/4 stock. Hope this helps. Note that I spray painted the carriage bolts before assembly as the bright zinc finish wasn’t acceptable for me.

Great looking chair! I have been wanting to make one but been busy with boxes, but one of these days, I will have one.

I am quite certain Alder would be a great choice for this since it is one of the softest and lightest if not the most out of all the hardwoods. Thanks so very much for posting this Andy, I need a high chair one for my booth.

OK wood choice was Alder due to it’s very light weight and sturdability in a hardwood, I have all the pieces cut holes drilled did a trial fit, it appears I made accurate cuts and holes thus far :) am now in the process of doing the finish work, first coat of tung oil has been applied, I’m going to final coat the chair with exterior marine varnish.

I’m anxious to see the result and hear what you think about how comfortable it is.

I have some perfect reclaimed oak for this project and am very excited to get started. I can’t read your cut list though for the back slats, seat slats, or the rubber feet. I’m typing up the rest and will post it here for people who would like to be able to cut and paste it. If someone from clarify for me I’d appreciate it!
Thanks -KH
