I tried to make a chair with 1 2x4, and some scrap 1x6 for the bottom slats (you can use any scrap wood or even bamboo).
This project was inspired from a chair that grandpa did since more than 30 years ago, and till date this chair is still rock solid and comfortable.
Grandpa was a skilled woodworker, he made it with mortise and tenon, with some curves on the back. We will keep our project simple with pocket hole joinery.
This is the first video of a series where i will show you many ways of doing the chair with different joinery technique , and adding more details to the chair, with each video we should acquire new skill .
I used 2x4 wood , since it is widely available, and cheap. i tried making it with hand tools, to show you that you can start your woodworking journey, with basic tools, and no you don't need expensive tools to start.
Material:
1 2x4 : real size (width x thickness) 4.5 x 9.5 cm (1.8" x 3.8") , length : 250cm (8feet)
Cut List for the 2x4:
Backlegs : 1 x 75 cm (29.5") - you need to rip cut it in half to have 2 legs out of this
Frontlegs : 1 x 45 cm (17.7") - you need to rip cut it in half to have 2 legs out of this
Z Stretchers : 2 x 34.50 cm (13.5") - cut each one of them so you get 4 stretchers
X Stretchers : 1 x 32 cm (12.5") - you need to rip cut it in half to have 2 stretchers
Backrest : 1 x 32 cm (12.5")
Bottom slats : you can use any scrap wood, bamboo ..
