Ouch - terrible pun. In any event, moving right along, I recent had an order for one the classic Reitveld Red-Blue chairs, which is one of my all time favourite designs, although I wouldn't actually sit in one unless forced to. It is VERY low, and obviously not well padded. 
It also is a "challenge" to make. Each of the "sticks is less than 3/32 " square (2.5 mm) which is a very small gluing surface. In addition, everything has to be perfectly square. I do 2 things to help me keep my sanity making the chair; I use lots of jigs and Scotch - no, no, brass pins, to hold the joints.
In no particular order, here are some snaps of the various jigs being used in the construction process.

It looks like the jigs would take way longer to make than the first chair! After that, easy, peasey (Really big grin here).
ReplyDeleteI agree with you ... I wouldn't want to sit in it either!
Well done.
