Some of my students and I reproducing a Maloof Occasional President, who has a tufted leather seat. I have no information about Sam's design, and in particular whether he used a fixed or a traditional seat frame. I have decided to use a seat frame together with Maloof traditional joinery and back legs. Here is the rough model of the Chair.I want to show the steps I used to create the model and in particular the seat frame. I also plan on using a packing slip seat insert, which includes the upholstery, and this requires another removable frame, sitting in a rabbet at seat as shown below.
Step 1: Develop the shape of the back legs
Sam wrote in an early fine træbearbejdning Magazine, about his process for building a rocker.This same article, he referred to a sketch showing different back leg shapes. This is shown below. I picked the most left for occasional Chair as this seemed to fit with the image of the Chair line and ARC. Use tools that I traced over the shape of the leg and created a face, as shown in blue color.
Step 2: Develop the shape side view of the Chair.
Using a photograph of the Chair and other information in fine træbearbejdning magazine article, I developed the shape side of the Chair seat, including arm, spindle and one front as shown below.
Step 3: Begin the creation of the Seat Frame
Note, however, that the seat is sloped agar from front to back, as shown by the seat face in the following illustration.I prefer before describes the model to the seat, adjust this face with red, green, and blue axis. This will make the modeling and regularly much easier.
Step 4: Re-align the seat face with SketchUp axes.
Choose the seat face to adjust the seat with the axes, and select the Rotate tool, click the mouse icon (the shape Protractor) on a corner of the face.Check the Protractor is the correct color (in this case, red) since the rotation will be around the Red axis.Click with your mouse on the other end of the face and then begin the rotation (upwards in this case). Rotate until you get a flag that you have reached the Green axis, as shown in the illustration below.
Step 5: use the push/pull tool to create the shape of the seat half size. Also you can start adding the cuts and arcs to represent the design of the seat of the perimeter.
Step 6: Determine the size of the seat now opening, which determines the width of the frame stiles and Rails; you can also add more detail joinery, and design. Please note that we are still working with only 1/2 of the symmetric model.
Step 7: make the components of the frame parts. then make a copy of the shape of half, flip, and connect to the original half. I have also adjusted width of stiles, and design of rabbets for insertion of the packing slip seat frame.
Step 8: Makes a packing slip seat frame to fit rabbets.
The first step in making the frame of the seat of the packing slip is to create a face before the opening of the seat frame including rabbets. This sets the limit for the packing slip seat frame, which is then used to develop the stiles and Rails as shown below.
I plan to upholster the packing slip frame also to the article in the latest copy of fine træbearbejdning. straps will then the remaining layers, including the top layer of the leather. I would also like to tufting introduce with buttons and string.
