This is mostly for myself so I won't forget, but if anyone else tries it, I'd love to see your finished product!

Edit: note: this part is a bit fiddly; I cut the card a bit oversized so that I could fit it around the chair and trim it to shape. Just have to do this by eye and see what will fit well.

Edit: notes: balsa is 3/32"; cardboard for seat back is from carton (actually a sandpaper sleeve carton); card for chair back is cardstock. Dowel is 3/8". Cord trim is "natural cotton braiding cord" by Clubhouse Crafts and is great stuff, very workable.

Hi, just going through some old posts and came across your wing chair. It's great, exactly what I wanted and I would love to make it. I see you've got the measurements on your template for the chair parts, but I was trying to actually print out the pattern, because I can't draw worth a darn. Only problem is I'm having problems getting it down to size before I print it. I tried copying and paste it to a word doc. but didn't work so well, any idea how I could print it. thanks
