Jim Finn Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) 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.

Lucky2 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Jim, I can't view them, when I click on the prompt, I get directed to a site that wants me to sign in or join Steve Good's site. Can you fix the link, I'm interested in seeing the chairs? Thanks.] Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Those look awesome Jim and congratulations to your club members for getting them done. I hope you can get pictures of them after they are painted. Would love to see them. That is a great fund raising idea. Could you share where to get the pattern. I really like the chairs.

Jim Finn Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 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) meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
