The roorkhee chair is a seminal piece of british campaign furniture and was popular with british officers from 1898 to world war i, according to nicholas brawer’s book on campaign furniture. named in honor of the headquarters of the indian army corps of engineers in roorkhee, india, the chair is lightweight at about 10 lbs., breaks down. My mailbox has been deluged with questions about the roorkhee chairs that will be featured in a fall issue of popular woodworking magazine.the no. 1 question: what does a woodworker need to do to get ready?.

Want plans for a good roorkhee chair? look no further than the october 2012 issue of popular woodworking magazine.my plans for a traditional roorkhee chair – leather and all – are there, along with construction notes and hardware details.. My first roorkhee chair i was fascinated by a reproduction of a piece of british campaign furniture that chris schwarz did for popular woodworking magazine, a few months back. i had a small hobby lathe and some 8/4 walnut lying around so i thought i would give it a try.. My redesigned roorkhee chair – complete. i finished up the last bit of work on this chair. my wife helped me attach the head rest to the top of the chair..
