well hears the evolution of my chair, from a drawing on a piece of paper to a full scale chair.
Through my trials and errors, i have learned greatly from this experience through the design process.
designing a chair takes a lot more time then i thought to make. i thought it would take a week (or two) at the most, but it was more like two months. you have to make the right dimensions for the right seat height and length or else your seat will fail. the problem with my models were the mortises connecting the chair to the sides, they were always uneven. but yet through trial and error i worked around that problem and made one heck of a chair.
i worked on this chair through Google sketch-up, its difficult cause everything has to be even.
And i cut this model on the C N C machine.
I choose this particular design for comfort, and storaging. were the arms are placed you can manoeuvre your arm better around and under the seat. for the back of the seat, i slanted it a bit for better lounging capability, and for the legs, you can see that the wood models legs are different sizes
You see the picture above is my legit chair.
I sate in this chair, and it works well.
From the comments on my chair, people also agree this chair is pretty legit.
This experience was epic, and would like to do it again.
