Chairs for children


Jim Finn

Recommended Posts

Our woodworking club has been asked to make chairs for children by Ronald McDonald house here in Lubbock. They will have local artists decorate these chairs and then offer them for auction as a fund raiser. These are the first two. They want thirty of them. Two different sizes. Made of 1/2” baltic birch plywood and are twenty inches tall. These are cut out using a jig saw and a scroll saw. Only twenty-eight more to make.  Total cost of materials is $6.33 per chair.

We just made up the pattern after consulting a, chairs for children, sizing chart. 

     These chairs are going to be decorated by local artists so we made them with lots of area, for decorative painting, on the sides.  

     It took the seven of us about three hours to assemble the pieces, that I had cut out already.

   We learned a bit about what works well and what does not, in assembling these chairs.  Today I remade/ tweaked the plywood patterns a bit to make it easier to assemble them in the future.

     Last time  they asked for these chairs was 2006. {Lost the pattern)
