Rocking chairClearly, you don't do such a job every day. Such a rocking chair is a very special task for all do-it-yourselfers. So that it works for sure, we have created a detailed construction plan. Here is a sample.

No, We really don't want to fool you! When we offer you this classic piece of furniture to replicate, then only, because we care about your well-being. Because we want to take care of it, that you will find a corner in your house too, on which they linger in your thoughts, can dream a little. And that works best in the good, old rocking chair!

Now the production of a completely normal chair is one of the tasks, which require a good level of manual skill. Should the chair then still rock, so be provided with curved runners, the level of difficulty increases again a good bit. In other words: Beginners are definitely overwhelmed with this furniture. The rocking chair, on the other hand, is a challenge for seasoned seer makers, that you should deal with calmly.

The construction drawing, which we have printed on the next page, already shows, where the problems lie. But don't be afraid: We want to bet, that you, once you catch fire, also persevere and the joy in the finished furniture will be all the greater in the end!

Only the runners, the armrests and the top backrest element were cut from multiplex plywood. The shape looks simple and modern: a piece of furniture, that fits in well with our time!
