Question:

How do you convert a rocking chair into a gliding rocking chair?

I have a rocking chair that i'd like to convert to a gliding rocking chair.

Answer:

It would almost be easier to build a new chair but here goes. OK if it is a basic rocking chair you just need to get the swinging hardware and build a base. the problem is that; does the original chair have strong enough legs that when you drill them etc to install the hard ware will it remain strong enough to continue to support weight and keep its structural integrity. This is hard to explain in words. If you look at gliders they have the chair with sides/legs that come down to connect to a hanger (Usually metal) that goes back up to a base, and each end of the connection has bearings to let it turn easier. your just have to build a base that will be big enough and attach the hangers (which would be best to just buy) to the chair legs. I cant give more that directional support over typing but if you would like contact me with specifications for the chair and exactly what you want to do with it, and what tools are at your disposal.
