The Rhumbline Folding Chair
3 Jatoba folding chairs. The chairs are a modern interpretation of a classic design. The folding mechanism is a brass rod and pivot bearing that lend a distinctive look.
We were given a couple old folding chairs, they had exposed screws, some cheap pivot hardware, but a comfortable feel that surprised us. This is our first project together and we are quite proud of the quality and feel of our modern interpretation. Figuring out how to replace the bolt on pivot hinge with an integrated and aesthetically pleasing mechanism was quite a challenge. The brass rod and thrust bearings sure fit the bill. When combined with a distinctive hardwood (Jatoba) in this case, the feel is extraordinary.

Great reinterpretation.
Thanks, we're having a blast. My partner has been building them like mad. He's in the middle of 4 hard maple chairs with a curly maple slat. I'm thinking they will be really sweet...and very light.
