Description
Build a portable chair that will be passed down as a family heirloom! Designed in the 19th century, this chair collapses to a small bundle (like the inexpensive soccer chair in your trunk), but is both durable and beautiful enough to fit in with your living room furniture.
You’ll learn:
- Basic turning techniques—the simple steps to create the legs for the chair
- Simple, modern hardware options for this 19th-century project
- Selecting and working leather (even if you are new to it), using tools familiar to any woodworker
- How to add buckles and rivets to bring all the pieces together
- And more!
