Build a Stick Chair in 1 Hour!!

I used this 1 hour contest to challenge myself to see if I could actually make this chair in 1 hour and I did it and had 40 seconds remaining on my timer!! This is why I love Instructables it gives me ideas and fun contest to enter and maybe even win something along the journey!!

Supplies needed Approximately

2 2x4x8 i used the scraps I had left from the fence I just built

8 1/4x20 nuts

8 1 1/4 fender washers

1 10' stick of 1/4 in threaded rod

YEP THATS IT

Tools needed table saw, miter saw, angle grinder with cutting disk, router table with round over bit, tape measure, pencil, and drill with 3/8 drill bit

Cut list and hole location

drilled at 1.5" and 25" centered on the Board

• 2- 42"
• 2- 29 1/4"
• 4-31 1/2"

drilled at 1.5" and 12" centered on the Board

• 2-35"
• 6-15"

Drilled at 1.25" and 1.25 inches on each end centered on the Board

I used my angle grinder with a cutting wheel to speed the process up. I cut mine at 25 inches but come time to tighten the nuts I regretted this and wished I would have taken more time to get close to the exact length because tightening the nuts took a lot of my time at the end

This took a lot longer than I wanted it to I got real nervous I wasn't going to make the 1 hour mark.

Here is the order of the assembly

• 42 31.5 29 31.5 31.5 29 31.5 42 these connect at the top with the 1.5 hole
• 9 15 9 35 9 15 9 15 9 15 9 15 9 35 9 15 9

the 9s connect the 2 together make sure the 29s go under the 42 section

I got a rude looking drawing I made to make sure I stayed on track.

Add the 1/4 20 nuts with a washer on each end and make them tight! the wood will shrink over time depending on how wet the wood is.

Cut the rod as close to the nut as possible and then use a file to knock down any sharp edges left.

According to the timer I had 40 seconds remaining that included the introduction that I later changed.

hope you enjoyed this inscrutable. And hit the Heart and give me a Vote!!
