Well it was worth the wait!! :eek:
Good job, now fill us in with some details.
The only thing is, it reminds me, of me on my knees busting my balls.

I had 2 do some serious head scratching for this one. joining the feet to the legs was probably the biggest obstical (sorry good at wood work not spelling) so i had 12.5 mm steel lazer cut int to a v and simpilly drilled out the leg/foot and glued them together using a gap filling epoxy (techniglue) this stuff is also suited to glueing steel. I fid adding a little oxide to epoxy (particulary westsystems) helps hid the glue join.'
People ask if the chair will hold their weight when they see it i tell them to park their chassie. Infact its held some fatties 100KGS+.

Stocky,
Nice chair. Are the legs laminated, steam-bent, or just band-sawn? Wouldn't it have been feasible to just use a hardwood spline, with the grain appropriately oriented to avoid splitting? 1/2" steel sounds like overkill.

the legs are cut from the solid but they are 40mm thick. The entire chair was designed to be cut from 1 8"x 2" x 2400 jh board. But the back slats are laminated finnished at 8 mm this allowed me to cut the sockets with a 8mm bit and not having to cut shoulders on the slats.

Stocky,
Magnificent chair! I love you sense of design and style. I think that using steel to strengthen the joints is a great idea, particularly because the steel is hidden. I might have to steal the idea my self. Extremely well done, I would love to see some of your other work.
Thanks for sharing, Marcus.

Stocky,
I am wondering whether a bridle joint reinforced with a screw would not work as well or better than your Y-shaped steel insert for the 'knee' joint of your chair, as in the diagram below, which shows a tenon on the end of the 'shin' reinforced by a screw in a plugged hole

I had considered that as an option but wasn't willing to comprimise the plug, no mater how well matched or seing he end grain on the front face.
