Thursday trivia

A picture one for you. What kind of chair is this? The answer that I am looking for has 10 letters.

- - -

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

Re: Thursday trivia

I only see three legs, therefore it's "precarious".

Re: Thursday trivia

Could the 10 letters be two words? One of the words could named after a fish or a weapon? Happy New Years!

Re: Thursday trivia

It is not two words, but could be separated to make two words. Depending on what you are guessing, the first part could possible fit your description ;-)

Re: Thursday trivia

I found the chair was used by a person that wished to be seated while wearing a sword, hence the chair called: Sword Chair.

Stories go

round about this style. If not a cornerchair (11 letters) or configured as a commode (7 letters), it could be a sword chair but I thought that the slack in a sword belt was built in just to accomodate sitting. I'll stick withmy first thought

Happy New Year to all
