Hello,
This is my first post on this site, so hopefully I don't muck up attaching the images.
I was lucky enough to come across some old oregon timber from a neigbours patio during a recent verge collection and thought I would attempt making some stackable chairs similar to a photo I saw a while back.
There wasn't any information about the construction of these chairs so I thought I'd wing it and see what happens (afraid I'm not much at making plans, just sort of build as I go).
The connection between the rear legs and seat are 1/2 inch mortise and tenon as are the joints between the seat rails (hopefully the picture will help more than my poor description). My concern is whether the joints will be strong enough.
My thinking is that the mortise in the leg will provide strength to the tenon on the back rail, therefore not compromising the strength of the mortise beside it (hopefully that makes sense).
This is just a project to gain experience in chair making so if it's no good it's not a big deal.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Bart
