Wooden chair for a country kitchen

From an ordinary chair, this instance, made independently, is distinguished by the fact that:

• The back of the chair is deflected by 10 degrees, and the supporting planks are not cut from one board, but glued from two, which reduces wood consumption
• Made from one piece of wood. The master set himself the task of making a chair from a single piece of 2x4 wood. You can find a piece sawing scheme in the photo below.
• In the back of the chair, the horizontal slats have decorative cutouts that you can draw to your taste. And also the ends of the back have attractive bevels.

Chair made of old crutches

A very unusual decision to make a chair out of a pair of old crutches. Despite this, the chair turned out to be really good. Bravo to the author, excellent work. Below you can find step-by-step photos of the manufacture of this chair.

As you know, a crutch is able to support the weight of an adult, so the use of its materials gives tangible benefits in the ratio of the weight of the chair to its strength.

Simple chair made of pallets

This chair from boards from pallets will require you a minimum number of tools and time for its manufacture. As you can see from the photo, the backs are not knocked together, but are connected with each other with a strong thread, which makes it a bit of a chaise lounge.

The author himself writes that when re-creating this chair, I would like to change two things in it. The first is to make it wider so that it is more stable and not so crowded in it. Secondly, to make it between the crossed boards more so that the back is not so vertical and you can have fun on it. And here we get a real chaise lounge

The simplest one-piece pallet chair

If you need to do it quickly ....

A huge plus of this chair is that you can put it together in just a few minutes with two pallets, a saw, self-tapping screws or nails. Here it is no longer necessary (as is usually the case) to disassemble the pallet on the boards and pull out all the nails. At your discretion, the wood can be sanded and varnished or painted. Also, the author advises, after sawing and assembling the chair from pallets, to fasten some of its parts with additional plates for strength, for example, add another board from the back of the chair back.

Such a chair can decorate not only some garage or country garden, but also, with designer painting and wood processing, can add some subtlety to the interior of your apartment.

Chair with a seat and a back from books

If you have unnecessary old thick books, then you can make them into the back and seat of a chair or chair indicated on step-by-step photos. The author of the photo for the side racks of the chair used a whole sheet of plywood from the parcel mailbox. In this case, he got a chair completely from recycled materials. Of course you still have to buy threaded rods of the required length to pull off the chair.

Keep in mind that when cutting books, a lot of fine dust is usually generated, so prepare a workplace and respirators in advance for this.

Attention, the author wants to draw your attention to the fact that you use one half of the book on the seat, and the second half of the same book on the back, so the width of the back and seat will be the same, and you do not have to select the required number of sheets to achieve the desired thickness .

Simple do-it-yourself swing from an old chair

This model of a hanging chair or a swing chair is good because it uses the part of the old chair that usually remains from it, namely the seat with backrest, as the legs of the chairs, as a rule, are the first to become unusable and break, restoring them is quite problematic.
Of course, we skim the old part of the chair, and for aesthetics and durability we cover it with paint or stain.
The most “difficult” part of making this swing chair is to make two boards with two holes in each, so that we put our chair on them and tie ropes to the bottom.
It is important to immediately center the boards under the chair before attaching so that your fifth point is in the center of gravity when sitting on the chair in limbo.
