Virtual chair

Larsen, are you looking for someone to build the chair for you from wood?

There are a number of us here who could do it but it may not be very practical. It looks like you've designed a rather heavy chair. Where are you and how would one of us get it to you? I think you'd be better off to find a local woodworker (maybe one of us is local to you) and give them a plan to work from. Will a low seat and back work to make your back feel better?

Maybe this will suit you better .

Larsen · 6 Jan 2011, 09:56

Does it make sense ?

Dave R · 6 Jan 2011, 11:09

I think I can see what you have in mind. Do you plan to have cushions on it?

What is it you are asking from us here on Sketchucation? Are you searching for someone to actually construct these chairs?

Modest gift to Fredo6 who made me love SU.
I would have liked to offer him one in full size.

I found a woodworker nearby who promised to construct a prototype. i'll post a photo as soon as achieved. Any ideas to improve this model.

This one is also a present to Fredo6. But THE Best is on the track. Stay on the tune.

Another variation.

Larsen · 10 Jan 2011, 00:12

Some variation.

Larsen · 10 Jan 2011, 00:14

Apparently I had a problem with attachments.

Larsen · 10 Jan 2011, 00:18

Hum...very demanding forum!

Rich O Brien · 10 Jan 2011, 00:21

Why so?

Larsen · 10 Jan 2011, 19:10

cushions are of course necessary on it?

Dave R · 10 Jan 2011, 19:12

Are you just using these various arrangements of your chair to practice using SketchUp or is there some other goal in mind?

Larsen · 10 Jan 2011, 19:26

To practice and it became like an addiction.Hope this doesn't bother.

Dave R · 10 Jan 2011, 19:39

It's no bother at all. I was just wondering what you are working at with all these different arrangements but no real descriptions.

As for practicing SketchUp, you might want to invest a little time in working with materials. The arm rests for example could use some help in the wood grain department.

Larsen · 10 Jan 2011, 20:40

Please my english is very basic. What do you mean by "The arm rests... in the wood grain department". Good opportunity to learn English.

Dave R · 10 Jan 2011, 20:51

Sorry. The wood grain direction on the arm rests runs the wrong direction. It does on many of the other parts as well. I was just suggesting that you could fix that.
