This is my first design. I wanted to come up with a chair that could be put together without any tools and would take a standard patio cushion. I still have some tolerances to figure out but I appreciate any feedback.

I like it! Maybe just add a cup holder:)

Were you able to fit it all on one 4'x8' sheet?

It fits in about two thirds of a sheet. I hope to get three from two sheets.

That is very cool but obviously you couldn't use mdf in this application outside right? I like the design, good job

Nice! Care to post the file...

Not mdf but mdo or 4x8x.75 sheets of "recycled plastic" ply...

What actually locks it together?

Yes, I used standard sizes and it is very comfortable for me, I am 5' 11". My son in law is 6' 1" and would like it a bit bigger.

Yes, I used a combination of datos, mortices, a C cut, and the angle of the seat and back to lock it all together.

Perhaps 3/4 starboard or playboard for the material (no need to paint and stands up out doors. And to repaet what was said earlier if you are interested in selling or sharing the files....

Dan,

You might try using NewWood. It is 50% recycled wood and 50% plastic material. It is only 7/16" and cost about $35.00 a sheet. It is not structurally rated but it has some strands similar to OSB. It cuts pretty good. I have used it for a triceratops 3D puzzle. The dino is down to the bottom of the page. It is about 24" high by 54" long. Here is a link to the Dino and NewWood.

There are distributors in NW Washington and Vancouver, BC.

I have traded some cutting for some of the NewWood material.
