CNC Cut Plywood Chairs With Laser Cut Cushions

Built a pair of chairs using the big CNC router and laser cutter.

The design for these chairs comes from AtFAB.co .

The wood parts were cut from 3/4″ sanded pine plywood on the big 4′ x 8′ CNC router at TX/RX Labs. After assembly, I finished them with several coats of clear shellac.

I made the cushions from old pairs of jeans that had been damaged on the front by welding sparks and spatter.

I made all the pieces for each cushion using the laser cutter (also at the Labs). I did all the sewing with high-strength thread using an old craftsman sewing machine that was passed down from my mother, to my sister, and then to me.
