A-Chair, Astronomy chair

Post by mickath »

Hi to all,

I have constructed a observation chair out of cargo box timber.
the material is light and strong. The seat can be adjusted to as high as 3 feet.

Thanks

Kay Heem,

I tried loading the picture, but there is always this message pop up that says my file is too big! I have tried to minimise the size to 340x640, but still cannot.

Can anyone of you help me with this :( ?

You keep the picture in its original size first, then set it to 72 dpi.
If the image still too big, then reduce the dimensions...
If you still have problems, drop me a PM with your email, and I'll look into editing it for you.

Would be interested to know how it adjusts to different heights ? Not obvious from the picture.

Thanks !

Hi,
I think may be by adjusting the angle of the chair leg... narrower is higher and wider is lower??

Have a nice day.

Hi,

The hold seat can be taken out, move it up or down. A bolt behind the seat protrude out from a piece of timber is holding the seat from sliding down. Behind the main member, holes are drill along the centre at different height which form a key to hold the bolt.

Hope that this explanation is clear enough for you or otherwise I will try sending bigger picture later.

Thanks
