I am impressed with your latest posting, are you selling DXF files? I didn't see that option on your web site. Have you or any one else produced an actual physical "sit in" version of this chair? Thanks Steve

hi steve
yes i'm selling dxf
not produced yet but it will not be long before having a real version i think

if you are interested let me know
thanks

i make it so you can build with no glue
everything hold on with "key part" (not sure the right name)

I make "knock-down" (KD) items for the trade show industry. I don't have a rocker in my portfolio and think it would be interesting to offer one. The assembly would need to be easily reversed for this market and it will need to be comfortable. Rockers can dump you out or throw you back making it hard to get out if center of gravity isn't correct. This is why I would like to see a hard version someone has sat in. I enjoy seeing your designs!

The design does look cool but the lack of a flatter extended back side to the rocker surface looks like this chair may be a "dumper" that goes over backwards too easy. Testing the design for function would be a complete necessity as the liability in rockers is immense. For the absolute perfect solution to the geometry between chair and rocker Maloof is the best standard there is.
The only two things scarier than supplying designs for rocking chairs is baby cribs and bunk beds.

or a rocking baby bunk beds with rubber baby buggy bumpers...

Thanks for the reality check guys, a rocker at a trade show just sounds litigious.

I've made a few, and always add a rounded "foot" (for lack of a better word) in both the front and back, to prevent rollovers in either direction. My 1.5 year old granddaughter loves it, and has yet to go over in either direction - and she plays hard! :)

hello everyone
my design is alive and seems to work very well

I see you incorporated the most important feature in the chair...the beer bottle holder! good job

I made one like this I found it wants to dump forward rather then back. the poor dog has trouble jumping it it as the chair will dump her out. plus it wants to walk backwards.
