Re: Catsperch Chair Plans
For longevity I would suggest using a hard wood.

Also,an orthogonal projection would be really nice as well.

Re: Catsperch Chair Plans
All of the dimensions are listed on the plans, the largest piece is the backboard which is 6" x 52"Star Dad wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 4:06 pm Um, I decided to give it a go, but got nowhere. Am I correct in thinking that the legs are about 6" wide and 2" thick? To make those would require an 8"x4" piece of lumber. Kind of hard to come by, unless I glued several pieces together. If, as you state above that, the pieces are only 1" thick that is doable with an 8x2.
Also,an orthogonal projection would be really nice as well.
Legs are 2" x 1"
All material is 1" thick.

Re: Catsperch Chair Plans
Fine work, and very useful !
Speaking of "Denver chair", it seems that Denver is an creative city. In France, we have "sabot de Denver" (literally "Denver clog"), with a clear use : Enjoy !

Re: Catsperch Chair Plans
There are a few different variations of the chair with one popular one being called a Denver Chair.

Re: Catsperch Chair Plans
Yes but they can move both way so better a sturdy piece off wood , during lock down I built a few from pallet wood the first I used some rope but during testing was not a pretty sight , fortunately much lower as it was for a 10inch dobsLady Fraktor wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 8:00 pm If you are going to be having multiple people using the chair during a session I would suggest fixing a piece of light chain in the indicated location to prevent the leg moving back.
I see their is a solid brace on the diagram !

Oh, yeah that dastardly device I was one of their first targets! they followed me to work! then Booted me as I got out of my car! Only one, over due ticket! It is a great deterrent, I pay all fines fast now! that was in the mid 1980's I haven't been "Booted" since. If only our Boots were wooden.
