Ok, here is it. I feel obligated to add a few disclaimers:
- I’m about 150 pounds. It’s pretty sturdy but I can get it to twist a little bit so use at your own risk. I used 3/4" plywood. I’m pretty sure 1/2" is not sufficient.
- If doing this again, I would have made the legs go out further on the bottom for more stability.
- I’m still pretty amateur when it comes to CAD. I’ve re-done this a bunch of times in Fusion which is why I got tired of this project for awhile. The latest iteration involved copying the sketches, re-creating some parameters, and re-creating the bodies. I haven’t used the current iteration. I had to fix some mistakes that caused me to have to do some sanding/filing to get the parts to fit.

The pictures above should be sufficient for assembly. I did glue the pieces together. Getting that top support (smallest dark piece) in there requires some finagling.
The included DXFs were based on my plywood measured at 18.6mm. I added in 0.5mm for tolerance so the slots are 19.1mm. If your plywood is different you’ll need to update the fusion file and re-export the DXFs.
I use the MapBoards Pro plugin for exporting DXFs. That deals with not including construction lines and provides basic nesting functionality. It’s a paid plugin but it makes this so much easier.

You need 1 Leg, 1 Seat, 1 Top Support, and 3 Legs. The Seat is the only thing that isn’t a straight cut through. I used 1 inch thick pine but you could use 3/4" plywood. The slot at the top of the leg is 10mm. I pocketed the leg slots in the seat at 12mm deep. I thought about putting a roundover on the seat with a router, but I just sanded it.
Good luck and thanks for the interest!
