Swing chair

When I was younger we had a swing chair in our garden and I spent many happy hours on it during the summer months.  I missed that old thing so I thought I'd make one for my current garden.

There's a flowering cherry tree in the centre of the lawn which I noticed had a couple of suitably positioned branches from which I might suspend a swing chair, if I were to make one.  So I drew up some designs and planned the construction of a two-seater swinging bench.

I don't have a workshop so I cobbled this thing together in the spare bedroom, the hallway and the garden. It was a bit tricky but it came together in the end...
