How about a camping store? Those collapsible stools?
You could get one of those Dick Blick director chairs and cut the legs, figure out a way to put an extender/coupler on them....
Ikea's got a nice tall folding stool with a back, just the right height, almost cheap enough to buy and leave at each show (you just have to do shows in areas with Ikea stores).

Hi Dee, I don't know if this is what you are looking for or not.

I talked to them the other day about this chair. They said it is being redesigned at the present time and won't be ready until spring. Give them a look.

lol i've seen the dick blick chairs and i'm thinking one of their stools would be good for the studio for saw work but i don't think they are gonna work for traveling....

ikea - that a store y'all have up there in the north? ;) i was hoping i could find a tall folding stool but so far no luck - does ikea have a website?
thanks

Nice chair Paul,

How did you mount the wafer of the leaf on the back?

Cheers,

The Pier One Directors Chair is the best for doing shows because you sit at a high level (stool height) and your eyes are not too low to have a conversation with a standing person. The catch is that they are collapsible but not small or light.

I always say that mine is designed by that famous chair designer Pierre Onay better known in America as Pier One.

Tack fused. Just make sure your chair back and seat are Lavacloth :)

actually pacific chair makes a wonderfull director's chair for shows that beats the pier one - same height but better support for back and legs - i have that one for shows i can drive to, i'm trying to find one i can pack in my suitcase for the bead shows i fly to ;P i have one from pier one i use when i'm spending quality time with my tile saw :)
