  • This was another project I thought I would be able to whip out pretty quickly but of course i had to over think it and ended up taking a lot of time to design and build.
    I was kinda surprise at the lack of folding chairs built by woodworks on the web. I only came across a few so i hope this helps anyone that is looking for inspiration to build there own.
    Its made from walnut and maple. I currently don't have plans .

    My wife has been wanting a step stool, and this one looks perfect. Thanks for sharing.

    I like your design. And the simplicity of the build. We all make mistakes in our builds and have to find a fix for them. You worked yours out very well. I'm impressed.

    Great work! I love that you show us the mistakes. It's not also roses and sunshine for us normal folks in designing something

    @drstintbizz08 Před 9 lety

    I came across your shop built video and stayed to watch your build. Yes, you might have over thought the project, yet the finished product is a fine piece of art in a functioning tool for ever day use. FABULOUS thank you for the entertainment.
