Joining seat and back on my first chair design

I’ve been working on organizing my images and making stories in the right order, but today I realized that its upside down. I need to get the flow going and slowly build my back catalog afterwards. So here it is – a short but real post from today!

I’m currently on vacation from work and my goal for the vacation has been two things – think about life and what I want (and I want a reboot) and build my first chair.

Today I started joining the seat and back pieces and I’m quite satisfied. Its not perfect; but that’s my slogan – imperfection guaranteed – and the overall shape and feel of chair is getting there and I love it already.

Tomorrow I’m going to join the other side of the chair and I expect it to go a lot faster than today. I think I used 5-6 hours today doing these first joins and it was physically harder than I thought it would be.

While I was doing the original designs on paper and in my head I was a little bit worried if the joins would be able to carry the weight of a person. But feeling the strength and solidity of the piece today removed all doubt. My first real design will be both able to carry the weight and its going to be beautiful and stylish!
