It was loaded already on the thread you started but hidden a bit.

It wasn't finished and filled with a "teaching" stuff. This is the final model.

Cool, thanks for your help, mate....

Ah, I see! If I remember correctly I designated the other topic a [TURORIAL]. Maybe you would like to put a link there to the finished chair model?

Done.

pretty good
-
Nice work dedmin!! Can I suggest the addition of fasteners or countersunk screw heads where the exist that would really finish off a good model.
-
Nice work, Dedmin. I had a little play with it and aligned the grain of the wood a little bit better. I also reduced the materials down to a single one rather than three copies of the same material. I hope you don't mind.
-
Not at all! I have been learning from your posts a lot and love "Design.Click.Build."
What about joinery? I'm thinking now how to make it buildable. -
Thanks Dedmin and Dave! Dave, would you mind posting the .skp of the one with the corrected textures. It would look great in some of my patio and pool renders.
-
Dedmin, thank you.
I think you should build. As far as joinery goes, I would use loose tenon joinery especially for joining the pieces of the side rails together. I cut them into four pieces in order to adjust the grain. I split them arbitrarily and I expect you could find a better way to split them so as to waste less wood. The slats and the rail across the foot should be joined to the side rails with either mortise and tenon or loose tenon joinery.
For strength where the legs join the chair I would do lap joints with the legs extending up inside the side rails. I would use silicon bronze or stainless steel screws to join the legs to the rails. Bronze would be my first choice for an outdoor chair
If I were building this piece in my shop I would use my Festool Domino for the joinery. I think I would do double tenons on the side rails. I would glue up at least the side rails if not the entire chair with epoxy. The epoxy will make the end grain joints on the side rails very strong. end grain joints with common PVA glue aren't a good idea as they have little strength.
Adam, here is my version of the chair model as you requested. I hope it is helpful.
