Hi Mate
I started with the same plans as Scooter posted for you and just improved on them over the years so if you want a photo of my latest I ll send you one and seeing you are in Brisbane you may like to view one and i can give you some patterns. Ionly wish i could draw plans than I could share them with everyone.
cheers Dobbie

Love to see the picture of yours.

Hi Dobbie123

I'm up in Gympie. I've made a few of these but now have lost the plans. Of course I now need to make another three.

Can we deal, mate?

Cheers,

Trev Reed

PS: Hope I still can do it, as I've recently lost a third of two fingers (ring and second) with the help of my Triton.

Sorry to hear about the fingers Trev.
dobbie hasn't been on since 2005 so he probably won't see this thread.

I like the design of Squatters chairs but I am a bit concerned as to whether the cross bar at the front digs into the back of your thighs. For that reason I was interested in the adirondack style

Hi Clinto,

Probably would if you are a bit short. Adirondacks are a bit low for me - 6ft 1in. But there is one problem with both styles - for older people they would be a real killer getting into and out of them. The Squatter's Chair is a little more comfortable I'd say.

Cheers,
Trev
