The chair pedestal was designed to elevate an easy chair that sits lower than what is comfortable for standing up (at least for me and my wife Karen).
The chair pedestal was designed to elevate an easy chair that sits lower than what is comfortable for standing up (at least for me and my wife Karen).
The chair pedestal is made of two parts; the circular top platform, and the octagonal base frame. Both are made of pine. The top has been cut into a large circle using a router and a circle cutting jig. The top also has semi circular retention sides that prevent the chair from sliding off the platform. The base is has been cut into 3 inch wide strips and glued up into an octagonal frame that is attached to the top using pocket hole joinery.

A view of the base from underneath (on the left). The white dots are skid pads. The shape of the base is an octagon with the circular platform attached (picture on the right).

I was able to mix different stains to closely match the original color of the chair wood frame.
