   Really nice work - 'course from you, maybe it's a miniature!

   I've also been meaning to make one for home use.

   What a cool chair!!!

   Did you design it or follow a set of plans?

   If it was a plan or template, where did you find it (if you don't mind me asking)?

   My sister-in-law is a librarian, would make a great gift.

   Thanks,

   Thanks

   I bought a plan from http://www.cherrytreetoys.com but only used it as a guideline.

   They showed steps sitting on cleats and I let them in dadoes.and things would have never fit if I had cut to their dimensions.

   You might check on internet for better plans.

   You wont want to be around me this week then. We scored a commercial job. We just framed a 24x30x12 room around 4 very large hydraulic pumps and now we have to double rock the whole thing this week.

   I'm in pain. 12' Fire rated. Heaviest stuff i've moved in a long time. This room is 24x30x12 and we have to double the walls.

   We should be done hanging tomorrow.

   ...Finally... something life sized!!!

   This must have some jobsite applications...sit a bit, work a bit, sit a bit, work a bit....

   Of course most of the jobsites I've been on wouldn't require nearly the level of fit and finish that you provide.

   Nice work.

   Scott.

   You did a really great job on the chair. One of the possible safety issues i see is the wide board on the seat whose grain is unsupported across the width. I'd be concerned with stress cracking it there and someone going *boom*. A couple of cleats on the underside (when in chair mode) would make it a lot safer.

   I'm probably paranoid, but i had friends who sold these at art fairs, among other items and kids' toys, and did extremely well. They also carried a $3 million product liability policy on their business.

   Thanks There is only 6" there not supported but a couple cleats certainly wouldn't hurt and still easy enough to do.
