Folding Camp Chair (Pic heavy)

[tyfy]

I saw the recent thread about 2 chair and thought I would post these pics of a camp chair I built last year. The Laplander is to give a sense of scale.

It is made from 2 parts that lock together. You could probably use thinner materials but I wanted to make sure it would hold my weight.

The 2 peices slot together to make it pack flat.

Not in the same class as most of the work here but I was pleased with it and my kids love it.

looks good and is a clever design.

I like it!
A "civilised" version of the African "Watchmans" chair...

I can't take credit for the design, it was taken from plans that were printed in a UK Scout magazine.

What a brilliant way of using up old pallets. Who said flat pack furniture was a modern concept?

I think it was October/November 2006 Scout Supplement that goes out to leaders etc.

It is available through http://scouts.org.uk/pol if you search for "Folding Chairs".

I have one in the garage and my scouts made a bench version for two.

That's brilliant and so simple.

I think I saw a couple of pallets in our stores so I'll be taking some tools in on Monday.
I've been thinking of making some kind of seat to sit out at lunchtime at work

Thanks for sharing.
