My senior year semester 1 submission for Material Design & Technology (2018). It consists of a 3-layered internal acrylic mechanism encased in meranti and jarrah timber. The acrylic component was designed in AutoCAD then cut on the schools 100watt CO2 laser cutter.
The process began with a 2D design on AutoCAD using only lines / splines.
meranti folding chair
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Year 12 Material Design & Technology (2018)
My submission, a folding chair constructed from meranti hardwood.
While somewhat novel looking, the chair is neither good at folding nor comfortable to sit on. This can be attributed to 3 factors, namely:
X excessively high seat,
X large spacing between back support struts and,
X front legs not extending sufficiently forward.

✔ So impractical makes for a perfect laundry chair..
Tools utilized include a table saw, table router, bandsaw and belt sander.
