A real master looks with disdain at the wretched plastic chairs placed in the summer cottage. There is nothing more alien than plastic among flowers and plants. In the middle of nature, a do-it-yourself garden chair made of noble wood, most suitable for outdoor recreation, will look much more natural. In addition, working with wood does not require any special skills, such as welding or forging.

This comfortable garden chair was designed 100 years ago.

• First of all, the chair must be transportable, so that in case of bad weather it can be quickly moved under the roof.
• For garden furniture, you need to choose hardwood - beech, oak, walnut. Pine, aspen, cedar, and larch are little susceptible to decay. The disadvantage of pine is its sensitivity to mechanical stress. The slightest blow is enough to get a dent, which will not be easy to remove.
• Since country furniture is exposed to the sun for a long time, and it can also get under the rain, measures should be taken to protect the material. The board before work is stacked, under a canopy, pressed on top with something heavy and left to dry. If you managed to get dry quality lumber, even better. The sawn blanks are polished, impregnated with an antiseptic, then with hot drying oil. Dry and varnish for outdoor use.
• The relief texture of a tree depends on the number of knots and undeveloped branches. The more of them, the more decorative the cut. The polished surface of such a board will resemble a flock of strolling grape snails.
• When assembling a chair for a summer house with your own hands, all fasteners must be embedded in wood to avoid scratches and puffs on clothes.

Making a garden chair

Cutting back legs and back

Before us is a detailed drawing with explanations of how to cut and assemble a country chair with your own hands. Referring to it, we mark and cut out blanks for the chair.

Detailed drawing of a garden chair (click to enlarge)

For the rear legs, backrest, armrests and seat, we need wide panels. We get them by gluing boards, selected according to the texture and color of the wood. We select the grooves for the dowels at the ends in advance, achieving such an arrangement so that the dowels are invisible after the cutting of the parts is completed.

Cutting out the rear legs. The work is done using a stencil cut out of cardboard. We apply the template to the blank for the leg, circle it with a pencil. Having connected and pulled two blanks together with masking tape, we cut out both rear legs at the same time. We cut them out with a small margin. We adjust the parts to size using a planer or milling cutter.

Cut out the back. We cut the workpiece so that the adhesive seam between the boards is in the middle of the panel. We bevel the lower end of the backrest at an angle of 12.5 ° - it must correspond to the profile of the rear legs. We round the entire upper edge along a radius equal to 9 mm. After that, you can start assembling the product, sawing and adjusting the remaining elements in place. Having learned how to make country chairs with your own hands, you can easily open your own business.

Cut out the rest of the parts and assemble the garden chair

Fasten the rear legs to the back using 50 mm screws and glue. We drill holes for fasteners in advance, otherwise the workpieces may crack. The side ends of the backrest are connected to the legs at an angle of 12.5°. We close the gaps between the parts with insert strips, giving them an appropriate profile. The coincidence of the ends of the slats with the opposite ends of the legs will mean that the back has taken the correct position. The inserts are also screwed to the back with 50 mm screws.

Garden chair: rear view

The strength of the seat depends on the location of the boards - they must lie in the direction from one leg to another. Using a circular saw, cut out the part in width. We mark the sides of the seat, located at an angle. Now you need to saw off the workpiece from the sides, following the outer marking line. Raw ends are not temporarily cleaned.

We select a groove on the back end of the workpiece. The seat is at an angle with respect to the back, so we tilt the bottom of the groove at an angle of 12.5 ° to the plate, so that the joint is tight. After that, we round the front end of the seat. Having screwed the seat to the legs, we grind its side edges, fitting them flush with the rear legs.

Cut out the front legs. The upper and lower edges are beveled at an angle of 6 °. We screw the front legs to the rear ones with 32 mm screws, reinforcing the connection with glue.

A garden chair with your own hands must be reliable. A significant role in the stability of such furniture is played by a proleg - a jumper between the legs, which gives stability to the product. We cut the jumper to size. Applying it to the front legs, mark the fixing grooves. The bottom of the groove should go at the same slope of 12.5 ° to the face. The depth of the high side of the groove is selected up to 9 mm. We attach the jumper to the front ends of the legs, using 32 mm screws and glue.

Front elements of the chair for giving

We cut out the wedge-shaped supports of the armrests, beveling their upper edges at an angle of 6 °. We fasten the supports to the front legs with 32 mm screws, adding glue to the sockets.

Cut out the armrests and the back support for them. We clean the ends of the parts with an emery cloth. We cut the ends of the support at an angle of 30 °, and the entire upper edge - at an angle of 31.5 °.

We press the back support part to the back with clamps. We put the armrests in place, loosen the clamps. We set the position of the rear support element according to the level, achieving a strict horizontal armrests. We tighten the clamps and fasten the back support to the back.

Screw the armrests to the back support, wedge supports and front legs using 50mm wood screws and glue.

We close the recessed screw heads with wooden plugs. We grind them flush. Now you can soak the wood with hot drying oil, dry it and varnish it. The garden chair is ready.

The whole family will appreciate this classic design with beautiful texture and simple lines. The convenience of the chair has not been in doubt among summer residents of the whole world for over 100 years.

All photos from the article

The cost of massive furniture is quite high, because many owners of country houses and cottages make wooden chairs with their own hands. Having at hand a modern tool and a charge of healthy enthusiasm, any man will cope with this task without any problems. We will tell you how to build a wooden chair for giving with your own hands.

Armchair for summer cottage made of wood

Peculiarities

Wood is the best material for making furniture. Despite a number of shortcomings that this material has, we have nothing better.

We chose wood for a whole range of qualities that, in our opinion, are ideal for do-it-yourself work in a summer cottage:

• Wood raw materials are very malleable for processing with primitive tools: drilling, punching with nails and self-tapping screws, grinding, milling, etc. We have to do manual work with simple means, so this moment is extremely important;
• Lumber is available almost anywhere in our country. Board and timber are widely represented on store shelves, and their price is relatively low;
• The material is completely natural and does not contain harmful impurities, does not emit toxins and volatile toxic chemicals;
• Boards and beams emit a pleasant smell, and coniferous parts do this especially actively;
• The texture and color of the surfaces are distinguished by their unique beauty, which is the best suited for the countryside atmosphere.

Important!
The listed set of qualities makes wood the most suitable material for the manufacture of a country chair.

It should be remembered that the product will be operated in conditions close to extreme. It will be exposed to rain, the sun will shine on it, it will be surrounded by insects, bacteria and fungal spores. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the choice of breed, finishing and processing of parts with an antiseptic.

The most suitable species in our case are oak, beech, ash, larch and pine. For parts that will not experience increased loads, you can use linden or alder.

Important!
All wooden parts must be impregnated with an antiseptic complex, and then painted or varnished.

Model selection

There are so many possible options for choosing a chair model that we see no reason to consider them in detail within the framework of the article.

It can be:

• folding and stationary models;
• rocking chairs;
• single and double;
• children and adults;
• high and low designs.

We will just give a few tips.

You must keep in mind two basic rules:

1. Choose those models whose design is completely clear to you. You must imagine in advance what and how you will do, what tools to work with and whether you can master this or that detail;
2. Consider the features of the place where the item will be used. A rocking chair or a folding model is perfect for giving, by the way, you can find drawings of a wooden folding chair with your own hands on our website.

Important!
Choose simple and reliable models that you can definitely make.
Consider the features of their operation.

Chair making

So, we will make the model presented in the photo at the beginning of the section. It consists of two sides, three sides and 35 cross rails that will form the seating surface.

The hardest part is cutting out the sidewalls. We will present a cutting on a metric grid with a step of 100 mm, according to which you can make a template and transfer the drawing to a sheet, from which you can then cut it out.

The summer cottage serves not only for growing vegetables and fruits, but also for a good outdoor recreation. This is best done in a luxurious and reliable armchair made by yourself. We will talk about how to make it, what materials, tools and knowledge will be needed below in the article.

If you like to tinker with wooden crafts, it will not suit you to install standard plastic chairs on your own site. They not only do not fit into the natural atmosphere of the kingdom of plants and flowers, but also unreliable.

In addition, their design does not always contribute to a good rest. Therefore, in this case, we offer you a simple model of a wooden garden chair that will organically fit into the landscape of a suburban area. You do not need special skills, as in forging or welding metal products, although knowledge of carpentry is desirable.

Requirements for country wooden furniture

Special conditions of use require that the design meet certain parameters. Then it will last long enough in the original version.

Let's consider them in more detail:

1. Immediately count on the fact that the chair needs to be made transportable, then in case of bad weather you can quickly hide it under. Of course, special antiseptics and paints used to protect wood will allow the structure to withstand atmospheric influences, but we advise you not to test it in such cases.
2. Choose hardwoods for garden furniture, such as oak, beech and walnut. Although the price of such materials is higher, the quality of the construction will be excellent. Aspen, larch, cedar and pine are also little susceptible to decay, but the disadvantage of the latter is sensitivity to impact. Even a small one is enough for a dent to appear on the chair, which then will not be easy to remove.

1. Particular attention should be paid to the protection of the material from atmospheric influences.. This is due to the fact that it can be exposed to sunlight for a long time, it often falls under heavy rain, so you need to protect it from such tests.
   Preparation for protection begins at the stage of harvesting wood for the manufacture of furniture. Fold the boards under a canopy in a pile, press it heavy on top and leave to dry, it’s very good if you could buy dry and high-quality lumber right away.
   In the process of work, the blanks must be sanded, impregnated with an antiseptic, and then with hot drying oil. At the next stage, dry them, and varnish them for outdoor use.

1. The relief of the texture and the decorative cut of the tree will depend on the number of undeveloped branches and knots, i.e. the more, the better. Such a polished surface may resemble strolling grape snails.

Tip: when assembling a wooden chair for a summer residence, fasteners should be sunk into the material, then you will avoid puffs on clothes and scratches.

How to prepare for work

First of all, it is necessary to pre-assemble all the tools that you may need, as well as the material. In our case, all the blanks, with the exception of the insert strips, will be cut out of a cedar board, the thickness of which should be at least 20 mm.

Manufacturing process

Preliminary stage - cutting the main elements

Let's start by cutting out the details. To do this, we will prepare a detailed drawing, so it will be easier for us to continue manufacturing the chair.

Prepare the parts that will later become the rear legs and back. To do this, try to carry out all the work based on a detailed drawing with explanations, where there are appropriate tips. After consulting with it, mark and cut the desired blanks.

Cut the back legs, backs, seats and armrests from wide panels.

Get them by gluing boards that you need to match the color and texture of the wood.

Tip: Select the slots for the keys in advance, positioning them so that they are invisible after the cutting is completed.

1. Cut out the back legs using a cardboard stencil. Attach the template to the blank that will be used as the leg, and circle it with a pencil. Connect and pull together two blanks with masking tape so that you can cut both at the same time.
   Carry out cutting with a small margin. To fit parts to size, use a milling cutter or planer.

1. Cut out the back. To do this, cut the workpiece in such a way that the glue line is exactly in the middle between the boards. Bevel the bottom end of the backrest at a 12.5° angle to match the profile of the rear legs. Round the top edge with a 9 mm radius.

Having finished these works, you can start assembling the product, for this you will need to cut and fit other parts in place.

We continue to work

Below are instructions for assembling and cutting the rest of the elements.

Back and rear legs

1. Drill holes for fasteners in advance so that the workpieces do not crack.
2. Use screws (50 mm) and glue to fasten the rear legs to the backrest.
3. Connect the side ends of the backrest to the legs at an angle of 12.5°.
4. Close the gaps between the parts with insert strips by making them of the appropriate profile. The ends of the slats and the opposite ends of the legs must match, which will indicate the correct position of the back.
5. Screw the inserts to the back with screws (l = 50 mm).

Tip: keep in mind that the strength of the seat will depend on the location of the boards that should be placed from one leg to another.

1. Take a circular saw and cut the piece to width.
2. Mark the sides of the seat, which are angled.
3. File the workpiece from the sides along the outer marking line. You can not yet clean the raw ends.
4. Select a groove on the back end of the workpiece, the bottom of which is tilted at an angle of 12.5 °. This must be done because the seat will be at an angle to the back. In this case, the joint will turn out to be dense, which is what we need.
5. Round the front end of the seat.
6. Screw the seat to the legs, sand its side edges, fit them flush with the rear leg plate.

Seat

front legs

1. Cut out the front legs by beveling their top and bottom edges 6˚.
2. Screw them to the rear using screws (l = 32 mm), reinforcing the connection with glue.
3. Make a proleg - a jumper between the legs, so that the garden chair gets additional reliability and stability.
   You need to cut it to size:

• attach the workpiece to the front legs and mark the fixing grooves. In this case, make the bottom of the groove at an angle of 12.5 ° to the plate;
• select to a depth of 9 mm from the high side of the groove;
• attach the jumper to the front ends of the legs using glue and screws (l = 32 mm).

armrests

1. Saw out wedge-shaped supports for them, beveling their top edges by 6 °.
2. Screw the supports to the front legs using glue and screws (l = 32 mm).
3. Cut out the armrests as well as the back support for them.
4. Clean the ends of the parts with sandpaper.
5. Cut the ends of the support at an angle of 30°, the top edge at 31.5°.
6. Press the rear support piece against the back with clamps.
7. Replace the armrests and loosen the clamps.
8. Level the position of the rear support element, achieving a strict horizontal armrests.
9. Tighten the clamps and screw the rear support to the backrest.
10. Screw the armrests to the rear support, then to the wedge supports, and then to the front legs, using glue and screws (l = 50 mm).

Close the recessed screw heads with wooden plugs and grind them flush. Take hot drying oil and saturate the wood with it, dry the product and varnish it. You will end up with a comfortable classic design with a beautiful texture that will be appreciated by your family.

Conclusion

A wooden chair for a summer cottage, made independently, will add the necessary flavor. The main thing to remember is that it is necessary to protect the structure from atmospheric influences so that it lasts for a long time. Only familiar tools and materials will be used in the work. The video in this article will help you find more information on this topic.

Carpentry lovers are always wary of moving to upholstered furniture, and prefer to buy ready-made sets of sofas and armchairs, complementing them in style with tables and cabinets of their own making. There is a reason for this: firstly, for this you need to master related disciplines, such as cutting and sewing or knitting, and secondly, take care not only about the strength and appearance of the product, but also about the convenience of sitting or lying on it.

But, the attempt is not torture, for a test, you can make a modest carpentry product using a simple foam rubber upholstery method or ready-made furniture cushions. Making armchairs can become an exciting team hobby, friends or family members with different applied skills will be able to combine their talents and join in at different stages of creating upholstered furniture. This will open up a lot of room for design decisions and material selection.

classic armchair

The manufacture of this small-sized chair consists of two main stages.

Preparing parts and assembling the frame

Especially carefully you need to work on the rear legs, to obtain a curved shape of which it is necessary to use a finished pattern and a jigsaw. The vertical part of the backrest and the rear seat support are attached to the rear legs.

The front legs are square and can be made from glued rectangular bars. Their ends must also be narrowed with an electric jigsaw. Fasteners are made with self-tapping screws, for which it is necessary to pre-drill holes with a diameter less than one third.

Before installation, carpentry glue is applied to the surface of the joints. The seat rails are fixed in the corners with additional details, with edges cut at 45 degrees. For seating, you can use plywood or furniture fabric tapes.

At the last stage of assembly, the armrests and curly ears of the back are attached. The dimensions of the parts can be taken from ready-made drawings, or you can take a pattern from old disassembled chairs.

Upholstery

The back and the inside of the armrests are glued with textile furniture tape. The seat is covered with layers of foam rubber, synthetic winterizer and fabric, which should be 4-5 cm larger in size, due to which they will be bent in the front and attached at the bottom of the seat.

Then the upholstery of the armrests and back is done. To obtain a rounded shape, special grooves are made, after fixing, the extra pieces of foam rubber and padding polyester are carefully cut off. To master the skills of furniture upholstery, you will have to be patient and use video lessons.

Lattice chair with reclining seat

For the manufacture of a lattice structure, you need a beam with a section of 2.8, which is cut into strips of the same length of 50-60 cm, depending on the selected dimensions of the product.

The workpieces should have a perfectly flat surface, and you should also try to accurately mark the places for mounting them on the rack as accurately as possible.

For the manufacture of the supporting structure - sidewalls, plywood 3 cm thick is used, from which the sides of the chair are cut according to the pattern. Then these two polished parts are connected to each other by bases, which are called drawers: at the bottom, at the top and at the level of the seat support.

Then, on this structure with self-tapping screws, it is necessary to fix the prepared bars with an interval of 2.5 cm. Round off the edges. The photo shows several different models of bar chairs, made independently using this technology.

Country chairs

These wooden chairs are a more simplified version of the classic ones. The scheme for assembling a wooden frame is basically the same, but the wooden parts are not rounded, the simplest armrests and even legs are made from the bars according to the principle of a children's designer.

Particular attention is required to the processing of the end parts of the furniture, which will be in the open air. After careful grinding of the surface, it is processed with hot drying oil and covered with 3 layers of varnish. Removable cushions add softness to country chairs.

Hanging chair hammock

To make this necessary attribute of relaxation in a modern country house, you need to be able to knit using the macrame technique.

Main materials:

• two hoops, a small one for sitting with a diameter of 70 cm, and a large one for the back - 110 cm, which can be made from metal-plastic water pipes. To secure the connection, you can use plastic or wooden inserts that are placed inside the pipe and fastened with screws;
• cord for weaving, can be made of polyamide with a polypropylene core, the knots from which are easily fixed, do not stretch and do not slip.
• fasteners, wooden rods.

At the first stage, the entire circumference of the hoops is covered with even turns of the cord, then the inner space of the seat is knitted with a mesh of double cord, made in one of their macrame techniques.

The seat and back are fixed with two wooden rods, which are fixed with cuts, in the front part the seat and back frame are connected with winding and two thick cords.

Another convenient option for giving can be a hanging chair, which can be made with your own hands from dense fabric. For the base you need one hoop with a diameter of 90 cm.

For the cover, a 3-meter piece of fabric is taken, which is divided into two identical squares with a side of one and a half meters. Then circles are cut out and a double cover with an allowance is sewn. The groove for the hoop is reinforced with a padding polyester tape, then holes are cut to secure the scabs.

The following ideas are for sewing and knitting enthusiasts who want to apply their skills to furniture making.

Armchair cushion

It is better to sew the first such chair with your own hands, using ready-made patterns in the form of a pear or a ball, strictly adhering to the given dimensions, and only then you can improvise with the silhouette and dimensions. You will need a bag of Styrofoam balls, fabric and zippers for the inner and outer covers, and a sewing machine.

For strength, the seams are made double; when filling, a plastic or cardboard tube is used, which helps not to scatter the electrified foam plastic crumbs.

You can improvise with the shapes and colors of such chairs. With this technology, if you bring the work to the end, there can be no marriage. Failed specimens can become original pillows for children's games.

Bottle chair

This is the simplest know-how that does not require any special skills, just the desire to do something with your own hands.

It will take some time to collect the required amount of material. It will be necessary to collect the same two-liter plastic bottles, clean them and make blanks by cutting off the top and inserting them into each other in pairs. Then blocks of different sizes are prepared for the seat, armrests and backrest, fastened with adhesive tape.

The chair is assembled in a classic style, with rectangular blocks of various sizes for the seat, backrest and two armrests. After assembly, it is necessary to wrap the entire product with a plastic stretch film, and then decorate it with stylish pillows or sew a cover.

Frameless chair-bed made of foam rubber

In order to make such a chair with your own hands, you need to delve into the instructions, especially in the part that explains how to fix ready-made blocks.

It is worth catching the essence once, and it consists in a special method of sewing covers along the edges to each other, you can easily assemble soft folding structures - corners, armchairs and sofas of any size. You will also need to learn the correct calculations when cutting foam rubber and cutting out covers.

Making a chair with your own hands from wood is easy and exciting, and such furniture will equally harmoniously fit into the interior of an apartment or a small country house. This item is sure to become a favorite vacation spot. In addition, you can make it with your own hands, even if you do not have woodworking skills. To do this, you need a drawing that you can make yourself or take a ready-made project. Otherwise, you will need to purchase materials for work and tools, and then proceed to this exciting process.

Choose a model

There are many different types of wooden chairs. All of them differ from each other in the type of design, design, and the presence of additional details.

Features of working with wood

Wood has long been considered the most popular material used in the manufacture of furniture. This is due to a large number of positive qualities: the tree is quite simple to process, even a beginner can handle such a process. For the preparation of products, you can use simple tools, it is not necessary to purchase high-tech equipment.

You can buy lumber at an affordable price practically in a hardware store, while finished solid wood furniture structures have a rather high cost. That is why it is recommended to make such simple products as a chair with your own hands.

The main advantages of natural wood are distinguished:

1. Environmental Safety. Such material is not toxic, therefore any harm to human health is excluded.
2. Wood has good strength, it is extremely rarely deformed by impacts and other mechanical influences.
3. From wood, you can make a structure of any configuration. In addition, such products will harmoniously fit into the room with any interior.

In order to buy high-quality wood, you should consider the following features of the material:

• the humidity level should be no more than 12-13%;
• the surface must be free of cracks, other damage and mold;
• there should be a minimum amount of resin.

These points should be paid attention to when buying ready-to-use lumber. In some cases, it becomes necessary to dry the tree on its own, after which it will need to be treated with a special composition to protect against fungus.

Important point! It is better to purchase material taking into account the stock, because not in all cases it is possible to accurately calculate the required quantity. In addition, in the process of work there is a risk of damaging any part.

An equally important criterion is the type of tree. In the case of the manufacture of outdoor furniture, only varieties with the most durable texture are suitable. These include pine, mountain ash, larch, oak.

If a heavy load is expected on the product, then it is better to choose linden or alder. The material of this structure is a little more difficult to process, but at the same time it will last for many years.

If the chair is installed near any reservoir or pool, then it is advisable to purchase finely porous wood for manufacturing - this will avoid problems with structural deformation.

DIY garden chair

Before starting work on the manufacture of the chair, it is necessary to prepare the following materials and fixtures:

• cedar veneer;
• screws;
• wood glue;
• sandpaper;
• finishing varnish;
• drying oil;
• scotch;
• thick paper for patterns;
• plane;
• saw;
• milling equipment;
• hacksaw;
• drill;
• clamps;
• simple pencil;
• measuring tape.

Prices for the range of drills

Part preparation

Step one: first you need to make patterns for the design, indicating the dimensions of the parts on thick cardboard. In our case, the following elements should be obtained:

• legs (4 pieces) - 2x25x78 centimeters and 2 × 7.6 × 53 centimeters;
• back - 2x28x91 centimeters;
• armrests - 2x12x40 centimeters (2 pieces) and 2 × 7.5 × 61 centimeters;
• connecting bar - 2x5x58 centimeters;
• additional bar (2 pieces) - 1.2x2x2.5 centimeters.

Step two: it is necessary to cut out the details from cardboard, and then transfer them to wood (circle), after which you can cut parts of the future chair. This should be done very carefully - the peculiarity of cedar boards is that they are prone to chipping, so you should only cut along the fibers.

Connection of parts

Step one: before starting assembly, all parts must be carefully treated with an antiseptic agent for fungus and dried. Only then can you proceed to the next steps.

Step two: we adjust the finished parts to the desired size and at the same stage leave the markings for the holes for the fasteners.

Step three: using a drill, we make holes for the fasteners, and then we fix the parts together.

Step four: we fix the leg of the chair (rear) at an angle of 90 degrees, we fix it on the other side in the same way. It is necessary to connect the sidewalls of the structure.

Step five: we put the supports, and then fix them with clamps.

Step six: we install the backrest guide from above with the help of screws, adjusting it to the transverse bar from below. We set aside the markings with a simple pencil on all crossbars, as well as on part of the back, after which we make a hole while holding the bar.

Step seven: we make roundings, cutting the boards along the marked lines.

Step eight: the last step is to sand the entire surface of the chair with sandpaper. It is important to achieve perfectly even wood without burrs. Then it is necessary to process the product with heated drying oil and cover with several layers of varnish.

DIY rocking chair

During the construction process, the following will be required:

• plywood sheets;
• cardboard;
• putty;
• dye;
• pencil;
• ruler;
• tape measure;
• sandpaper
• jigsaw;
• fasteners;
• drill.

Step-by-step instruction

Step one: preparing the details. The whole design of the chair consists of two side parts, three horizontal connecting strips and 35 crossbars (needed to create a seat).

In this design, the creation of sidewalls is considered the most time-consuming step, so it is recommended to mark them on cardboard, then cut them out, and only then transfer them to wood.

Step two: for the manufacture of the side parts, it is necessary to take multilayer plywood 3 centimeters thick. After that, you should transfer the part from the cardboard to the plywood sheet and carefully cut it out with an electric jigsaw.

Step three: after which the side parts must be carefully sanded with sandpaper and cut off their edges using a grinder or milling equipment.

Step four: from plywood of the same thickness, you will need to make horizontal connecting strips 120 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide. After that, they must be sanded with sandpaper, but it is not worth processing the edges with a milling cutter.

Prices for the popular range of circular saws

A circular saw

Step five: you need to take a block of wood 5 × 2.5 centimeters and cut it into 35 parts, 120 centimeters each. Then they should be sanded and the edges removed.

Step six: in the middle part of the outer arc of the sidewalls, at the back and near the legs, we mark the places of fixation of the horizontal slats. After that, these marks should be duplicated on the other side. Then you can already make holes for fasteners.

Step seven: on the end parts of the sidewalls we make through holes, and then we connect the frame with horizontal strips for screws.

Step nine: The last step will be a thorough surface treatment. To do this, you must first putty all the holes, go through the wood with sandpaper. Then the surface is coated with a primer and several layers of varnish.

Chair for giving from pallets

You can make such a design with your own hands, while spending only a few hours. In the process, you will need the following:

• wooden pallets (you can buy new ones or dismantle old ones that are no longer in use);
• a hammer;
• nails;
• sandpaper;
• fastenings;
