Death Chair - 1 -

   Here is the Cad drawing and schematic for our project. You will need to reference this drawing the entire way through the building phase, so you would be well advised to print this out in as clear format as possible. The entire construction of our chair is 3/4" plywood with a couple of little sticks of 3/4" solid wood and 1/4" plywood. The reason we will be building this out of plywood is because the seat box that will hold the boom box for the voice of the Crypt Keeper is frenched in to the legs and achieving this with 4 x 4s would be very difficult.  Here is the cutout and materials list;

   We will be starting our project by building the seat to our chair. We want the front to be ported so, as we mentioned a moment ago, we can put a boom box inside and the sound will travel through. Since we don't want anyone to see the boom box inside between the CK knees, we'll need to cover this opening with speaker fabric. First construct your box using the above dimensions from the cut out list. The finished size of the seat will be 10" high, 23 1/2" wide and 21" deep. Our sides and top and floor will be cut out at 20 1/4" deep because we are making an overlay face frame for it out of 3/4" material, thus achieving 21" depth when completed. Above is the box and face frame before they are attached. In my case, I am set up to style and rail the four pieces of the face frame together, giving me a perfect notch in the back (face frame is shown face down here) to hold my speaker fabric later. In your case, you may want to simply cut a piece of plywood 10" x 23 1/2" and cut out an opening in it that is on center, 5 1/2" high x 14 1/4" wide. Then you can notch the back out with a 3/8" rabbit bit for the speaker cover to fit into. After you glue and nail the face frame or piece of plywood to the front of your box, sand the edges of the frame flush with the box. For now we will leave the back of the seat open but later we'll show you the two pieces that will frame out the opening for the door.
