That sounds ambitious, but I’m all for a piece that feels right under you. The sensors will need to be exactly where the load is, so I’d start by designing a joint that can bear that shifting weight. A solid dovetail or mortise‑tenon will keep the frame stable, and if you can hide the wiring behind a custom‑made panel, the look stays clean. Just remember, even the finest tech will fail if the wood isn’t true to its grain. I’d love to help you test a prototype.

Glad you’re on board. I’ll pull a few pieces of seasoned oak and make a test joint that’s true to the grain. Once the frame holds a steady load, we’ll bolt on the sensor housings. Keep a feel for how the wood reacts, and we’ll tweak the design until the chair feels as solid as it looks. Looking forward to the first test.

Sounds like a solid plan. I’ll get the joinery set up and keep the structure tight. When the frame holds up, we’ll slot the wiring in and see how the sensors behave. I’ll keep the finish simple and let the wood speak. See you when the first test runs.
