Fiske; yup, turning these darn things into a niche. 
I'm afraid my advise on torque may not be so good as I'm a light weight if lanky fellow and have never had the torque issue. On the other hand I have had some rather big guys use my chairs and they all seemed to up to the task.
In the chair above the main armature slides into the base and is quite robust. Not seen in the first photo but the main armature there goes into a mortise and tenon joint with a rather massive glued up mahogany front foot.
Solid wood is all very nice looking but the darn things weight more than I'd like at times. So I'm looking at a smaller plywood unit with perhaps only three heights to it so I can use it as my grab and go chair in the back yard.
Both chairs pictured make for great sittin' chairs while shooting the bull as you wait for darkness. 
First chair - maple and mahogany, second chair is cherry.
