I swiped the idea & plans from http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f30/building-folding-stick-chair-42571/
So I have to give "A_Sailor" credit for a lot of this..
They're made from KD Spruce I picked over at the local lumber yard for clearest (Knot, crack & wain free) stuff I could find.
One 8' 2x10 will make one chair if you don't have to cull out knots etc.
I set up a saw sled & DP jig to speed up the repetitive processes.
The chairs are assembled using 1/4 x 20 threaded rod, washers & Ny-Lox nuts. One 6' section of rod per chair with a small bit of waste. I did recess the washers & nuts a bit and chamfered the ends of all parts as well as knocking the sharp corners off the individual sticks with a light sanding. They're coated with a single application of BLO & thinner.
A little hand filing on the ends of the rods to make sure there were no sharps left hanging.
I've made & sold about a dozen and have orders for 4 more so I guess now I'm a "stick chair maker":boat:
What thinks the gang.
