Never Finished

As you can see from the 2 slide shows on the right of this post the Chunky Chair is constantly changing. The lower set of pics was taken when the chair was being built last year. I was unable to come up with a simple, strong, safe way to support the back of the chair to allow me to adjust it from nearly upright to lounging back for napping.
To get the thing outside and allow me to use it I opted for a simple solution that I thought would be temporary but now suspect simple is best. Details of the Chunky Chair back will follow.
As you have probably guessed i am very proud of this chair. It is very strong and stable. Sitting on it is like sitting on a rock. The version you see in the slide shows is actually big enough for a 7 foot tall person and will support at least 400 lbs if not more.
A friend of mine has asked me to build one for him. My biggest problem is when do I stop redesigning it and settle on a final version. I suspect I never will.
