PDF TEMPLATE FILE
| Print out the PDF file
above before you begin. The templates and cut out sheets
will be printed accurately if you set your printer to make no
adjustments to the file. This tutorial will have more
detailed information than the PDF
file - so use it to construct the chair. |
You can make this miniature chair in two different ways: The best method is to
build the mini chair by creating mortised joints in the same manor a real
chair is made. Which is a lot easier than you think. The second method
is to build the chair without creating mortise joints - The chair is
weaker but still looks the same. If you opt for this method - just cut
the pieces without leaving the extra length for the mortise joints and
use butt glued joints.
Wood Needed: The most commonly wood used for this type of chair is Oak
In miniature use Bass Wood, and stain like Oak!
For posts (legs) use 0.14583 = 7/48 wood If you cant get or make
7/48 wood, you can substitute 1/8.
For Seat, & all except the back slats use 0.07292 = 7/96 If you
cant get or make 7/96 wood, you can substitute 1/16.

Tools Needed: This chair can be built with very simple hand tools or
power tools whichever you prefer.
