Tips...

1) Put your chair together before rounding over all the edges. Pine and cedar are very soft woods that you will bang up and dent during the assembly process. Once the chair is together to your liking, disassemble the chair and use the pieces as templates for the 2nd chair, then round over the edges and sand. You will remove all dings and dents. You can then finish the chair while it's disassembled.



2) Use ships curve to draw in some of the angles. Tape pieces together when cutting and sanding to ensure you get exact matching pieces.



3) Don't attach seat slat 9 until after the back slats are in place. You won't have room to screw in the bottom of the back slats otherwise.



4) After attaching the center back slat, do not attach the end slats next. You'll never get the spacing correct for the other slats. Make 6, 3/8" (a tad larger) spacers and use them between the slats. Three for the top and three for the bottom. Put the 3 left (Or right) slats in place and screw them on. Then repeat on the other side. Also, the 4 inch block they used to make room does not prevent the slats from sliding off while trying to align them. Prop the chair up on its back with something that will make it horizontal so the slats don't slide. I used a box of cat litter.



I'll post pictures later.
