How to build a simple chair with just a few hand tools.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it's not a viking chair and most likely a modern design :)

I've heard many names for these:
Viking Chair
Stargazer Chair
medieval birthing chair
African Chair
Trapper's Chair
Reenactment Chair
and Celtic Chair to name a few, and those are most likely misnomers, so just use whichever name will get you the most "Well, actually..." comments :-)
