Beautiful Ming Dynasty style chair made from building lumber (part 1)

With simple tools, you can make a beautiful Ming Dynasty style chair. The cost of a set of four chairs is less than $50 but it took more than two months of my spare time.

excellent example of how a prototype should be made to gain the skill necessary before investing in high price wood. Hats off to you. Great job.

I´m really interested in the building of ming style furniture and this video gave me a better understanding for how the joints in this model are working together. Great chairs, thanks for that!

Such a creation can only be achieved by a meditative state of mind. After seeing this wonderful craftsmanship, my admiration and respect towards such skilled craftsmen who created my ming style folding chairs has only grown many many times.

Can you share the drawing plan? Wish to make the chair.. Thanks

Excellent! I wanted to ask: are you going to sell the plans and template print outs? I would love to make these chairs!

So how did you make the sliding dovetails for the chair's skirt?
