Round Base For A MamaLuv  Swivel Glider

Making a round base for a MamaLuv swivel glider.  I make these bases from solid plywood, cut with a diameter of 25 inches. Most chairs of this type have rounded bases that are 24 inches in diameter.

Posted by Frank Bray on

Some of my chairs have seat frames with jute webbing.    Here is how I install that natural jute webbing in my seat frames.  I stretch the webbing with a special tool that I made years ago.  The webbing gets installed in a checkerboard fashion and is stapled to the frame securing it tightly.  Natural jute webbing is just as good as steel frames,  giving great support plus a bit of spring to the seat.  With foam and fabric installed on top,  it provides a very comfy seating experience.      These seat frames are screwed and glued together for...
