Baltic Birch Chair?

[cabindoors]

Has anyone seen this chair made on a ShopBot? I downloaded the pix from this forum along time ago and now can't find where I saw it. A search didn't seem to help. I also have the .dxf cutout files.

That is pretty cool.
Tom would you mind sharing the dxf files?

Tom,
That is nice, can I get a copy of the dxf. My wife has been looking for new chairs.
Thanks,
Gerald

I'll send the .dxf file that I have if you email me (I'll reply and include as an attachment).

After looking at the file, it is a result of a traced raster file. I've made an attempt to overlay each section so that they'll match perfectly (but some more work is needed). I'll include the original raster file and chair picture.

Unfortunately, there were no assembly instructions. It shouldn't be too hard to figure it out though, and if anyone does I'd like to make a set of dining room chairs too.

I think that they could be made of Baltic Birch Plywood and compliment a "high priced" table that I'll make.

Please include the word "chair" in the subject line of your emails.

Thanks

wow, hani al mandeels stuff looks great!!!!!!!!

Yes - Hani's work does look great. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that this is one of Hani's original designs. The right thing to do would be to contact Hani and ask him, and if it is, get permission to use his design rather than helping yourself to his by bitmap tracing what he was generous enough to share with the group. He gave the group the plywood & assembly concept. It isn't hard with a few stitches of creativity to come up with your own design, loosely using his as an inspiration. I know personally, I would be ticked if people were stealing my concepts and designs and freely dispensing a hack digitized version to a large group.

You can contact Hani at his current email address: hmandeel at gmail dot com

Brady,
Thanks for the info. I like the design but see some changes I already want to make, solid back to carve into, provisions for a seat cusion, adding arms, and changing the leg and feet design. I like the concept of the layered plywood, wish I would have seen it sooner. Quicker than my mortise tenon work, and the design can be modified quickly, and built quickly.

Brady Watson,

I'm sorry that you feel that I "stole" Hani's concept that was freely posted by him and am "dispensing a hacked digitized version".

All I intended was to find his forum link and revisit the idea. Jay gratiously found the link and posted it again (above). I think that it is a design idea that is worth following however.

I'm real sorry if I've offended anyone and in particularly Hani.
