GrayHound:
Nice job on the chair. I would say you have a well-stocked "scrap bin."  I guess you loosely based this on the Denver Observer chair plan? I like the seat position adjustment detail.
I built a Denver chair years ago and it has served me well, though I plan to build a better chair in the near future. One problem I have had with the chair is that the connection between the front foot and the upright beam gets a lot of torque. I bolted mine on, and regularly have to tight then bolts. They are like 3/8-inch, I think. Three of them.
From the pictures it seems like your front foot is connected with four wood screws. Did you glue it, too? I would be interested to know how the joint holds up over time.
