Thoght maybe some woodworkers would like this site, www.greenwoodworking.com also there is a good article about chair making in the first Fox Fire book. The second chair I made is a lot more comfortable than the first. :hmm:

All good info, thanks.
[found the piece about the 'ideal' chairmaking bit especially helpful] :thumbsup:
 
Found one with wheels at www.alaphaomegawf.com under benches. Looks like a Teddy Rooseavelt model as in rough rider. Rustic furniture makers list is worth looking at also.

Nothing comes up for me.

But I think the first ones had the big wheels in front with one or two smaller ones in the back. The opposite of wheelchairs today. I know very little about the history of them and no idea when someone sat down and came up with the idea. But yeah, I'm sure they were on the rough side compared to todays models. Weight was probably a killer and those fisrt guys probably had good upper arm strength because of that.

I'll stick to Titanium and Aircraft Aluminum, a lot lighter. :thumbsup: :wink:
