we have desk chairs at home that are made out of pinewood, pine seems to be a good wood for desk chairs”-~

Thanks Douglas. I did consider those but realised the diameter would put pressure on one area of the chair; right at the base of the leg where the t-nut meets the wood. My solution was to utilise the whole leg for absorbing the stress.

Came across this by pure chance- you could use t-nuts in the bottom of the legs and spare your self the fussing with epoxy and/or tape. For that matter Grainger or McMaster-Carr probably have a ready to fit adjustable furinture foot- but your solution does seem to be just fine.

Kevin,

I’d be more than happy to answer any questions you had on the chair. I sent you an email. Let me know when / how you’d like to chat.

I’m a TV producer with the CBC. Just noticed your project on Boing Boing. Fascinating. I’d love to ask you a couple of questions. Let me know if you’d be free to chat.

I’m not a pianist either, but read straight through for the same reasons as above, but especially because this is obviously a project borne of combined specialties, which, as an Interdisciplinary Arts major (kind of), I just can’t help myself but appreciate.

I’m glad so many people like the chair idea. When I was making it, I spent a lot of time in the hardware section of Home Depot trying to figure out the best way for me so I’m happy it wasn’t in vain!
