Finally, what about leaving the rail at full dimensions? Are the legs
thick enough? Your resistance to racking increases with the third power
of the vertical height of the rail, so a small increase can pay off.

The chair was designed a hundred years ago ... it's time now to suss out the
possibility of new/different joinery methods for a "production" run that
will hopefully last the same length of time.
