A Chair for our first Grandchild
It had to be safe: smooth corners and edges, etc etc etc.

Here are the Main Parts. From upper left, clockwise.
Left side, Back, Right Side, Seat

I wanted to make it like my computer parts. Plug and Play. Something for him to look at with interest.
Maybe encourage the little guy to become an Architect. Snicker.
I gave it an extended back so he couldn't tip backwards.

Then I decided not to use any glue or nails, so I inserted dowels to hold it together.
Also, the sides were a little low, so I added armrests, using the only glue, and a few brads

It looked kind of boring, ie, like any other chair.
"Why not a toy box?" I said. "I'll put that back space to good use.
Still, no nails or metal hinges, etc. I used dowels here also.

Ready for the finishing room. A little more sanding is needed too. Those dowels will be cut after final assembly.
Maybe leave them 1/4 inch proud.
My daughter Sue would like the dowels to be glued, as Little Jake has this thing for disassembling things.

This is the finished product - the one I kept for our house, for when he comes to play.
I made a duplicate for Sue to keep at her house. She is planning on pickling it instead of paint.
I'll post it when she is finished.

Jake loves his little Tool / Toy box. He loves to slam the lid and hide things
