  Slats  14 Slats  3 layers thick  Slats are 2 feet long  4 inches wide  Slots are cut in the center and 2 inches from the outside  Slots are 2 inches deep Final Chair

  Main Frame  3 main frame pieces  3 layers thick  3 feet tall back  28 inch bottom  14 slots cut 2 inches deep on each main frame piece Final Chair

  The slats are placed with the slots in the slats and the main frame matching up in order to hold the main frame up and give the chair some stability and structure Final Chair

 Putting Together

  The chair was given a cardboard skin that was one layer thick.  The skin was held on using glue which was glued to the slats and main frame pieces.  The skin made the chair look more appealing and helped distribute the weight more evenly when someone was siting on the chair. Skin

 Adding the Skin

 Have a seat!

  My chair was very stable and even looks good enough to put in my living room!  I wouldn’t do anything different to the chair if I were to redo the project. Evaluation

 Time to relax!
