Supplies
8 - 2x4's
Black spray paint
Miter Saw
Drill
Hand held Router
Random Orbit Sander
Printer
Wood stain
Paint
Build the Chair
Go to www.funwithwoodworking.com , download the plans, and build the chair.
You can also watch a video of the chair building process above.
Print and Assemble the Helmet
Do a google image search for "stormtrooper helmet clipart"
Enlarge the image and print it on 6 sheets of paper.
Trim the inside edges and tape them together
Transfer the Image to the Seat Back
Remove the seat back from the chair and staple the assembled image to it.
Cut out and remove all the black parts with some sort of sharp knife or razor blade.
Use spray paint in the cut out parts to make a stenciled image.
Route Out the Wood
Use a hand held router to cut a 1/8" deep channel into all the areas painted black
Paint the Routed Areas
Paint the routed out channel in black.
You can use spray paint or a brush for this step.
Sand Off the Excess Paint
Sand the face of each piece of wood to remove any excess paint that is not in the routed out channel.
Stain and Paint
Apply your favorite wood stain to the seat back and seat slats. In this case I used "Golden Oak" made by Varathane.
Paint or stain the remaining pieces your favorite color.
Reassemble the Chair
You have already built the chair once so reassembling it should be easy.
