    Only trouble with this is, smaller workshops like the majority here have would be needing to charge “bare minimum” $300 per chair, and even then that might get you only basic quality. Multiply that by 109 plus GST and the café is up for a hefty bill.

    This is where the Australian made idea goes out the window, and $40 imports are bought in. Sad, but true.

    Maybe 54 of us do 2 each - as long as they don't have to be the same
    CH does the extra one

    My excitement of Claw Hama doing 109 chairs became disappointment.

    Now that would be a world WWF first mass chair making by forumites.

    Now ways of doing it someone makes
