Cut the two chair frames (a) to the required shape and dimensions as shown in the illustration below.
Step 3.
Cut lower back frame (d) to the shape and dimensions as shown in the illustration below.
Step 4.
Cut upper back frame (i) the shape and dimensions as shown in the illustration below.
Step 5.
Cut four back slats (e) out of 150 x 25 stock to the shapes and dimensions as shown in the illustration below. The top shape (rounding) can be changed to suit your imagination or artistic flair.
Step 6.
Cut the two arms (h) and the two arm braces (f) to the shape and dimensions as shown in the illustration below.
Step 7.
All the members should now be cut to length and shape.
Assemble the chair using the following side view, front view and top view plans for reference. Use exterior type glue and 50mm exterior screws. Use 10mm x 60mm galvanized coach bolts with washers to fix the legs (c) to the chair frames (a).
