Walnut Cafe Chair

My walnut Cafe Chair is a very comfortable all purpose chair and can be a great first attempt at chair making. It can be modified to suit your style and look. I have not shown direct measurements, because then you would be making "my chair" I want to give you the necessary steps to create "Your chair" The basic measurements that help can be found at the end in a diagram. The measurements that I do pay attention to are to make the seat approximately 17 1/4" from the floor, the seat should angle back roughly 4 degrees and the back should lean 12 degrees away from the seat toward the back. These three measurement are a good starting point to draw out a chair design. I like to draw out a full size profile picture before I build. Make a prototype from 2"x6" material if you are unsure about how it will turn out. It can be good practice before you use the "good wood". These pictures show an alternate front leg to the turned front leg in the video and instruction. Have fun playing with chair design. It is the most intimate of furnishings and can be personalized to suit you. Enjoy!
