How To Make A Cardboard Chair

http://www.andrewsenior.com/gallery/design/cardboard_instruct.html
This site shows you how to make a cardboard chair with just cardboard. It has plenty of pictures so you know exactly how to build it. Each picture has instructions for the next step. It also has FAQ's for people who may get stuck or confused. The site doesn't have a video, but all the pictures could make up for that. The design & instructions are very simple & easy to understand. The instructions don't show simple measurements, which is bad. The pictures are in kind of bad quality, they're hard to understand. I wouldn't use this site as my number one choice as a guide, only because I would like to have a video & the pictures aren't clear. I can tell now that this wont be an easy project.
