stacking chairs - Blueprints

[dave walbridge]

looking to build a set of stacking chairs for the classic balancing act - are there blueprints or at least measurements somewhere?

If you mean for handstands, then it's unlikely you'll find plans. I looked around a bit for some last year and came up with zilch.
As for dimensions, 40cm x 40cm x 80cm is common. 50 x 50 x 100 is also used for more stability on high stacks.
Mortise and tenon joinery or just dowel joints will do as long as you clamp sufficiently during glue up.

It looks like this might have all the information you need.
