AUC (Advanced Utility Chair)

Outstanding work!!! I am glad to see that government grants do work. With engineering as advanced as your AUC presents I hope that your company with not limit it to only gravity stricken humans. I think the engineers at MIT and NASA will want to contract with you for AUC for non-gravity environments (AUC-NG) Once again keep up the good work.

a number of years ago i worked in a museum's shop prototyping new exhibits. i kept making cabinetry when what was really needed was the equivalent version of your chair: slam it together, see what it looks like and how it functions, go back to the drawing board and modify it to a closer version of what was needed. it took a while to figure that out and a bit longer to actually be able to override my natural, and deeply in-grained, tendency towards perfectionism.

well done.

Great job! I see now that the US is well positioned to retake furniture manufacturing away from the evil third worlders that would have us bowing to them and their inferior furniture. This is a great relief to those of us her in good ol' USA trying to compete in the alleged world marketplace.

Your innovation, design execution, and overall dedication to excellence are evident. Cheers to you and the entire staff! When will the related table protoypes be ready?

HOW MUCH?????!!!!!

Is your R&D department looking into ways of making the AUC "sea worthy" so that earth-bound humans can have personal support devices that float?

Does it come fully assembled or will it be knock down?

Outstanding! Meaning it should be out standing in a field some where with a bulls eye on it :0) .

Proof of what a little knowledge a few tools & time can do!

And by the way I don't think its referred to as "unrecycled" any more. The new buzz word is "Unreclaimed" ;>) Its more marketable to your client demographic(Folks educated beyond their intellegence with disposable income) Its a big market so get that CNC programed!

Offer custom finishing as an option.

Unfortunately the table prototype didn't work out so well, we are in the process of waiting for more government funding on that project. The AUC model 113 was initially built for NASA, but due to new space shuttle payload regulations and the recent issues with there faulty external fuel tank insulation the contract was canceled. We now have a contract with the department of defense to supply 44,000 units that will be finished in desert camo. As for the cost of the 113, I'm not at liberty to release accurate data at this time, but I can say just the R&D on the 113 is in the 10's of millions.

I was intrigued to notice the sun dial effect from the right arm rest, casting a shadow to the back rest. I can clearly observe, it was 5:34PM when this photo was taken.

well done

You forgot to put a hole in the seat and a tp holder on the side.

Hilarious!

Iam laughing so hard I don't know what to say.. My wife was speeckless, First time in years... Many thanks...

Bill

Wow thats amazing.
Maybe I should place an order for 250 of them.

Well, Vern the minimum order on these units is 300. But you seem like a very intelligent guy that knows a good investment when you see one, I suppose I could make a small compromise. Just email me and I'll give you the account information. As for the rest of you, 300 is the minimum order, NO EXECTPIONS.

I've never been a fan of art for art's
sake!
But then I noticed the BEER holder!
Now it functional furniture!

perfect ...except for the cheap, lite, s#@%&ty, american beer! ....a chair of this quality should have a fine import sitting w/ it.

......this has got to be the most intriging post on this site ever! true art! thanks Michael

What quality, As the gift giving season comes around will you be able to accessorize? I need 12 no, a bakers dozen with rod holders as im sure to be the rave at the lake. And what about a golf club holder? Oh and i need a port to plug in my Ipod....

tell me more.

out to lunch

Guys,
I came up with almost an identical "chair" after trying to build a cabinet following all the many diverse tips I found on woodweb regarding cabinet construction :-0

Great Chair, when does production on the folding version begin?

Well, now we know that the genious of Picasso is genetic.

The evidence offered here shows that his offspring have appeared in the furniture business and in Goverment.

I love it when someone warps my perspective and not my lumber.

Thanks ST
