We’ve just replenished the printed sets of full-size paper patterns of all the important components for the five chairs in “The Stick Chair Book.” (They are also available as PDF downloads.)
The five 22″ x 34″ sheets contain full-scale drawings of all the seats, arms, backrests, shoes and combs for the chairs. The drawings also include all the mortise locations, drilling sightlines and centerlines. With these sheets, you can easily make full-scale patterns in plywood, posterboard or masonite. Then you can use these patterns to make your own versions of these stick chairs and start modifying them to create your own original chair designs.

Looks interesting. I know I missed out on the merit badge, but I hope to build some stick chairs this summer. We are going to start a farm stand and I plan on dragging out my Roman Bench and Shaving Horse to make them while tending the stand.
You haven’t missed out on the merit badges. We have lots!
Thank you, Fitz!
I’m anxiously awaiting plans and an instructional video for Chris’ Gibson chair. Beautiful chair, that one.
Just purchased the patterns and they arrived. Everything is excellent. One thing I wish the patterns had was the angles to drill at? Where may I received that information? Many thanks!
I purchased the patterns and they arrived today. Very excited and excellent patterns. Only wish they came with the angles to drill for each chair (angles for the legs and for the back) Would you be able to provide that information? Many thanks!
The angles etc. are in “The Stick Chair Book.” The patterns are a supplement to the book. If you can’t afford the book, drop us a line and we will help you out.
