I looking for the DIY step-by-step woodworking plans for a backyard
?folding side chair? and a matching ?folding octagon or round table?

Stinson, Kentucky, Bali, East Indies, or just plainly "Teak Folding

The plans need not to be free.  I am willing to pay a fair market price for them.

Just to make sure we're looking for the right thing. Are these the
types of chairs and tables you need the DIY plans for?

Zsh-Ga, thank you very much for your request for clarification. Your
references match exactly the furniture for which I am looking DIY
plans.   Good luck.

I am impressed with your woodworking ambition.  Of course, I have no
idea about your experience and how you value your time or your source
for tropical wood.

There are many more sites advertising this type of furniture.  I found
it interesting that the price for the folding chair was just about the
equivalent of the price for it in Germany.

Myorin-ga ? Please not be impressed by my woodworking ambitions or by
my poor economics judgment.  Let me offer this quote by Johnny Deep,
with a twist:   DIY projects are a journal in a way. It's like what
sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific
time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it
with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist.

Thanks for your comment and reference web pages.  I particularly liked
the one on precious woods.

fdelaflor,
I'll tell you a secret, I've got a couple of expensive planks of teak
that I bought to make garden gate ...  Was that twenty years ago?
One of the planks is just right to roll my wheelbarrow up a few steps
in the garden.
Still got the design for the gate somewhere, along with those of a
couple of other projects that exceeded my skills  - and a couple that
didn't.
Jeez, I even bought bits to drill the mortises and a new saw, and
bolts for the hinges ...!  The gate was to keep the rabbit in. Maybe
for the grandchildren ...

I wouldn't touch those chairs  - all those curved slats - but good luck.  :-)
