All those angles are more than tricky. What a challenge! I think I might have coined a few new expletives during a glue up like that.

Best described as a nightmare. Unfortunately I don't have construction photos. The wood is hard-rock maple. The arc elements are laminated. The challenge was to calculate the angles of the legs (in two dimensions) and then drill into the base and arm at those angles. The seat is screwed to the legs from the inside of the rim. I like the little triangulation support that locks the whole chair together. Of course the glue-up was fun! I try not to think about how I made these! Best described as a nightmare.

They have kinetic energy. I'd like to hear about how you made them and am looking forward to reading about your upcoming chair project. Mark, your chairs are fabulous! They have kinetic energy.
