First we flipped the chair upside down and cut the black fabric off of the bottom.
How to make a regular chair into a rocking chair.
I took some 2 x 4 and cut lengths to fit up inside the frame of the chair.
As a general guideline the front and back ends of the rails should be approximately 1 1 2 to 2 inches above the floor when they are at full rest.
21 2011 chair skis are a nifty invention that turn regular dining or side chairs into rocking chairs.
Screw the rockers to the chair legs using 1 1 2 inch screws.
I slipped them into the frame and drilled a few screws upwards through the chair frame and into my new 2 x 4 supports.
Flip the chair over.
This is the supports for the new old chair base the swivel part.
The frame of the chair has pieces of wood across the back and the front but the piece in the front was lower than the one in the back so we screwed the 1 2 onto the front side in order to make a level surface for the plywood to sit on.
Place the rockers over the chair legs.
Simply place the legs of the chair into the groove of the beechwood skis which are about.
You can also glue the legs in place with wood glue if you do not want to use screws.
