   Welcome to Knots.

   There is a book originally published in 1903 that has a few pages on one. The book calls them Chair Steps but there may be other names. There are enough dimensions on the illustrations to make the chair (or your own variation of it) if you have some experience.

   It is a reprint published by Ten Speed Press, called The Handyman's Book, by Paul N. Hasluck. ISBN 1-58008-226-2

   Vertis, that's the same book that I asked about in another thread.  Roy Underhill built a workbench from it, it was very cool (both the workbench and, according to readers, the book.)forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)

   these are often called library chairs, some are really flash. Try these for a start:
