I think it's nicer than the one some bloke is making on More4 right now.

I'm glad that you guys have the time to do this stuff
I'm still trying to find time to tidy the shed.
Oh, the lympics start on Friday, that's buggered it and on Saturday I have
to fetch a pork sandwich, watch the weeds and brambles growing, think about
washing the car, find an excuse not to fit a wall cupboard, delay fixing an
intermittent combi.........

As mentioned in previous posts I have to do the work outdoors so weather
plays a part. The pedestal / feet / and top frame are all glued/screwed
so now fitting the slats today and then coat it all in preservative.
Another day or two and should be finished. Will post a pic when done.

+2 I particularly like the cut outs for the ears and antennae.

One thought... I guess 4" is amply wide enough to safely park a coffee
cup or beer mug but I like the flared section ending the arms of our
shop bought 2 seater. You might want to consider dipping the feet in
some grass safe timber preservative.

We have acquired 6 outdoor seats and rockers by purchase and inheritance
so I am not tempted to make mo-) They all spend the winter under
cover.

The rockers are a particularly ingenious design should anyone be
interested in a photo. I believe the maker has ceased production now.

;-) Great minds think alike it seems - SWMBO was suggesting a add on
table that could hang on an arm for a bit of extra drink or food space
etc. I might see what I can come up with.

I quite like the wide arms you get with the Adirondack design. I did
this one a while back:

I might do another of those so I have a pair.

Probably not a bad idea. I have oiled the first one, and will do similar
for the new one. Also I am told that western red cedar is supposed to be
"durable" anyway, although how well that works for ground contact
surfaces is another matter.

Yes please, always keen for suitable ideas to pinch^h^h^h^h^h^h build on ;-)

Yup, see what you mean - kind of a "suspension" rocker. (i guess they
swing rather than rock as such?)

There's also a somewhat similar mechanism where the 2 steel suspension rods are lower down and strongly angled, and the chair does rock, but the feet stay still. Much safer for feet & tails.

Yes. Bit of a struggle to get seated but very comfortable once there.
The lower chain eyelets are through bolted as are the hooks at the top.
Unhooking the chains allows the stand to be easily separated from the
chair for moving/storage.
