And what kind of wood would you use? I like the idea of a rocking chair that I could sit either side by side or in his lap. It's unfortunately just a thought right now, we have neither the room or the money to do such a project, but I thought i'd ask and get an idea.

I am not sure what it would cost but oak is a strong wood...my dining room table is oak and I know it can stand a lot of weight but someone else might know a better answer.

Whatever it costs, sell it for four times that amount of money and next build four other ones - and sell them too. Before long you will produce and sell thousands of rocking chairs per year and provide work and an income for the many people that you employ.

Rule, i'm not sure I get a point of your post. But that aside i highly doubt there's a market for wood rocking chairs rated to 600 pounds, two seater or one seater.

I think Rule was suggesting you becoming an entrepeneur and have a healthy income. Especially in the US. Am I wrong, Rule?

You would probably be surprised at what there is a market for, particularly since the girth of Americans is growing.

What is a normal wide rocker rated for?

I would say that T has stumbled onto a business opportunity. A little creativity and a lot of persistence will make it a successful business.

Well, you certainly can start out with wood as a material. But of course there are lots of other materials that one can use to build rocking chairs from. The sky is the limit.

Do you have any cracker barrels around your house? They usually have rockers on their front porch for sale and I seem to remember some double seaters. Not sure what the weight limits are on them.

It's not a question I've ever considered before frankly. If it were me, I'd just put the 600 Pounds in the bank and let it support itself.

I don't know what you're referring to when you say cracker barrels, but no i haven't seen to many people with rocking chairs on their front porches on my street. quote: ORIGINAL: thishereboi Do you have any cracker barrels around your house?

She means the Cracker Barrel restaurants. They always have a porch full of rockers and tables for sale, very nice and well made.

Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: how much would it cost to make a rocking chair that would support 600 pounds? (7/14/2012 7:00:38 PM)
Now that is a good question. I'm assuming that ,maybe based on some other seat type things i know of, like a shower chair for instance, 2000 230 maybe? I've never thought to hunt for a weight limit on rockers. quote: ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus What is a normal wide rocker rated for?

The fact that there are folks who do not know Cracker Barrel makes me sad in a way I can not explain!!!

Cracker Barrel is a chain of restaurants: http://www.crackerbarrel.com/ They can be around $350 including shipping for the military ones (which donate some of the proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project). Not sure what the weight limit is on them, and the site is only showing the one seat (and no dimensions).

Red oak is the strongest of the common woods used in furniture.

I acctually had at one time very much wanted to make plus size ageplay fashions and bed sheets and blankets and paddles and other nice little things for age players and adult babies, well not the diapers but other things, but unfortunatly id o not have the patience to sew clothing an stuff like i once used to know how to do. And i don't know how to market or anything important like that, i just knew that i knew a few people like myself were plus size and would have loved ageplay clothing that was for fat people. quote: ORIGINAL: hlen5 I think Rule was suggesting you becoming an entrepeneur and have a healthy income.
