Dining chair plans

Take the challenge out of making the curved parts for these dining chairs by using templates and our step-by-step instructions.

Start by drawing a full-size plan of side elevation and seat plan. You will probably want to make at least four chairs so it is easier to measure angles and sizes and maintain consistency in measuring from a full-size plan.

I have found the easiest and most accurate method is to punch holes with an awl or sharp point and simply connect up the dots.
