How to Build a Barstool for Around $3 Dollars

- In this video I take inspiration from Ana White (www.ana-white.c...) to build a bar stool. I use one single 2x6 that can be purchased for around $3 and cut it up into all the lumber needed to build this barstool.

“hey dad, when did 2x6s use to be 3 dollars?”
“dad why are you crying?”
to all those complaining about the use of pocket holes in this project... im sure the original poster meant this as more of an inspirational video, and also a beginner friendly video. there is nothing wrong with using pocket holes for something like this. keep in mind, he has kids as stated in his video. they are very rough on furniture in general, and if he has to spend another say 10 bucks to make a new stool as a replacement, thats his choice. if you dont want to use opcket holes in yours, use whatever joinery method you prefer. this was meant to be a quick and dirty method to make bar stools, period.
3 dollars worth of wood and 10 dollars worth of pocket screws
I pay around 4¢ per 1-1/4" coarse screw for Kreg screws in small quantity (100). How many were you planning to use per bar stool?
3.97$ for 100 1 1/4
Awesome job. Turning a single 2x6 into something very useful. Just awesome!
Great project. I will be building one for my shop! Economical, functional, and sturdy. To all the pocket screw haters, Pocket Screw You Guys. If you can break this chair by sitting on it maybe you're too fat!!!! #matthias wandel has started using them in some of his projects so get over it.
Super easy project:-( thank u for sharing, going to build one soon:-)
Nice work!
Nicely done!
That nailing at 9:20... Scared the shit out of me when you looked at your fingers after that...
i looked at the plans anna white had and it called for the legs to be 2x2 i believe 1 1/2x 1 1/2 would be plenty good
Welcome to 2021 where that same piece of lumber is now $48. 🤣
Use pocket holes + a good wood glue. The wood will break before the joint breaks. It's not the strongest joint you can use, but it beats pocket holes alone. All it takes to break a pocket hole joint is a twist or a weak spot in the area of the wood where the hole was drilled. I use pocket holes to pull glued joints tightly together and provide a bit of extra strength.
First of all this is an easy build and the tools required are somethimg u can use on other projects. Those that are complaing about the use of pockets screws, well you can do whatever you want to impove the strenght and rigidity of these chairs. The video to build this chair gives you the basics. If your going to pick it apart then move on. Great video. Thank you for your time to publish it.
Can you post a cut list on this project? The stacked wood diagram is a bit difficult to read.
I like it, but man the back of that looks rough from all the pocket holes. I personally would have went the dowel route and tried to hide as much as I could.
why your 2x6 look very good, our lowes' suck.
Victor He I have the same problem. I have a Home Depot that is about a mile away from lowes and the lumber quality is much better.
Very usefull video, i see i'm still a beginner comparing to you!
Ana White = how not to build furniture
It's an excellent beginning for you. You really need a better table saw though. I have one exactly like yours in the video, a Ryobi pos, but it's now a shelf in the garage until I cannibalize it for parts. Hunt on craigslist for an old cast iron craftsman for around the same price and then grab one of the sears align-a-rip fences and your work will go 1000 Xs smoother. That Ryobi is a finger ripper. I know this from personal experience.. lol
I'd go with the 113 craftsman series belt drive. The new ones they sell now are crap.
Do you have any plans with this barstool project love to build a bar like yours. Thank your for the idea
3 $ doesn't cover even the screws.... lumber like this more like.... 30 or 40 $......
OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE THIS VIDEO...YOU ARE BEGINNERS FRIENDS THANKS LOVE...YOU HAVE NEW SUB
2x6x8 is $15 where im at.
Exposed pocket holes on the back of the piece? Cmon.... Should have glued that part together with clamps first
Well the barstools weren’t finished and I didn’t leave the pocket holes exposed. There are lots of ways to build and finish this barstool.
Yes! This is just what I needed, thanks so much! I couldn’t ask more after freely downloading Woody Hyezmar's Bible, google it, it's still available.
Hey, good on ya for making this video, the overall design looks good too. Well done on making them from essentially 1 board. Keep up the useful videos and tips and ignore the naysayers. I bet your family gets plenty of use out of them! I enjoyed watching and indeed may have picked up a tip or two or at least another idea for a new project to build.
I made one with less expensive tools and with scraps.,,... your Video is great nonetheless!
Nice job! I love pocket holes myself. I think you could cut down the cost down though with some other joinery techniques if you were batching these out. Looks good though!
People on a budget to make these stools dont exactly have hundred dollar tools to make these 😐 its mostly the pocket holes are they absolutely necessary?
you can turn down the precision on SketchUp so you don't have 4 trailing zeros on your dimensions
can i have the cut list cant find it on anns site thank you
3$ in wood. 5$ in hardware. 1000$ in tools, clamps, and time.
Isn’t that the fun of woodworking? Toy collecting?! 😊
I have a Bladerunner. It's a toy. Almost completely
useless. You're right though, it's basically a glorified
sabresaw mounted upside down on a table. I wouldn't '
call it a jigsaw. A jigsaw is actually a tool, this is really
just a toy.
Thanks for the content.
Keep up the good work.

I like the design. I am supposed to build dining room tables and chairs for this charity for there clients. This is so far the most reasonably priced chair I have seen yet. The only issue I have is I need a 17-inch seat height and a total height of 36 inches. I can get Southern Yellow Pine 2X6 for $5.00 a board 8 feet long. I would not use pocket screws for the joinery. I'm going to use tongue and groove construction. If you look at most chairs that are made in quantity they use tongue and groove construction. IMO the pocket screws would come loose after a couple of years of daily use. Pocket screws are an excellent choice for tables since there not constantly moving. Enjoyed watching your video.
Hey great job, where is your list for this project? I saw Anna's list but her list is different from yours she paid $20 and you $3.
I 'm new at this, I would need the measurements for one chair so the guy's at home depot can cut them out for me. PLEASE, PLEASE
Thank you so much for sharing your skills with us
Per A.T.M Withdrawal only cause that ain't badly 🔫🔪🍼🚀👎😶🤞💸👎😒
Can someone send me a cut list??
I need something simple and inexpensive to go with my pallet wood kitchen island. My grandkids are really rough on everything. This looks great! And if anything happens to it, I’ll just make another! I don’t want to spend a lot of money or time on something I’m not going to allow them to use. Thanks for the great video! I’ll follow-up after. 😊
Great work...now I really need a pocket jig!
+aemediainc Thank you! Yes the pocket hole jig is great.
No Sir, you don't. Pocket hole assemblies are an abomination. The are strong enough for a chair assembly as shown in this video but not strong enough for the chair to last. Pocket holes have their place and this is NOT one of them.
I've got at least four chairs that have gone more than five years. How long should I wait for the crash?
I don't understand those of you making comments like this. I used a cheap framing 2x6 and pocket holes to make a quick and cheap barstool that actually turned out really good. It is strong but probably not going to last forever. Had I made it out of expensive hardwood I probably would have used a different joint. This is a project just about anyone can do with limited tools. The point wasn't to build a stool to last generations. I would have that was obvious.
Keep going with whatever works for you, DIYBaron. Millions of people have put projects together using pocket holes. If they were that unhappy with the results, you'd see a lot more pocket hole jigs selling used. In fact, most the used ones I've seen have been at estate sales!
That came out great.
You didn’t show step by step
There are two kinds of people. Those who do and those who critisize. Youre not the latter one. Well done. Be proud
do you have the cut list and dimensions for this?
I agree. I want to know! I love this!
no, but I do. email me - spud1129@gmail.com
Great built! Thanks for sharing!
Where do you go to buy a 2x6 for $3? The cull bin? Also, at 10:04 I see that you left the pocket holes exposed on the back?
should have used dowels or floating tennons, that stool's not going to last the distance. pocket holes have their uses, this isn't one of them.
Livi 120 wait so we can make these without the pocket holes? Thats good to know!!
Busts out crappy Ryobi job site saw. Me: "bet there is gonna be a shit ton of pocket holes."
I respect the Kreg Pocket hole system. And I even use it from time to time in hidden places. But to assemble your whole damn small chair using pocket holes....even in highly seen areas? Come on man. Just drill some holes and use dowel pins or something easy. Or just chisel some small mortises for them. You already have a saw so you can cut tenons. I understand it is onnly like 4 bucks for the 2x6 but you can at least take some pride in it.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. In case you didn't notice, the chair wasn't finished in this video. Of course I covered the pocket holes on the back. There are angled dowels that work that same as if I used your method. The purpose of this video is not to show the best way or the only way. It is to show one way and that you can turn a single 2x6 into furniture. So you can sit around filling TH-cam with your negativity or actually go out and make something like I did.
My guess is that the blade runner is better than a cheap bandsaw.
Nice build, but our construction/framing 2x6s don't look like that. Not enough knots.
Pocket holes are beginning to be either over used or used in areas they shouldn't. Been seeing it since Kreg jigs became more popular. A project like this would have been a lot cleaner using joints such as Mortis and tenon. Table saw and some sort of hand saw or chisel creates them pretty simply. I'm in no way downing your project because you did a great job. I just have been seeing alot of pocket holes getting used lately. Keep up the good work.
2*6* wat... good job by d way
I dig it. I think I'm going to make a bar bench though. We just got a table that included a bench but I think it should have come with two.
Really nice work. There is nothing better than the sense of pride and achievement in making an item yourself.
Hola de favor podrías proporcionar las medidas es muy bonita la silla
Where do i get a 3$ 2x6
This video is a couple of years old and lumber prices have gone up. However, I dont know where you live but I can still get a 2x6x8 for under $5
OH Yeah, By the way great channel. You just got another subscriber!
$3 eh? I wonder who subsidises that? It would cost more than that just to store it before sale.
This is pretty much worthless without showing in more detail how you cut the 2x6 into smaller pieces.
Go watch any video on ripping and cutting down 2 by material. Worthless is a pointless overstatement.
Love these!
Very cool
Ana White's DIY Site is the bomb!
Nice wedding ring.
im sorry but who the heck has all this machinary or the space for all of it? i live in a tiny london flat and not some huge house in america with a workshop and two garages
what he is using is extremely minimal compared to most videos out there. You can do everything he described with a circular saw and jigsaw, and drill. You can even make your own pocket hole jig. This is very minimal.
True.
Never seen anyone stick a dowel and cut it flush in their pocket holes before.
Usa usa usa 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Very well done sir.
OK, I liked the video but you need to be careful!! 2 inch brad nails can wander a LOT and putting your hand where it was you are just asking for a nail through a finger.
Great video.
kool'
Im a fan. Im big on pocket screws on stuff which wont show the use of fancy joinery. And they are often hidden and dont distract from the finish work or the sho sugi ban work i seem to be addicted to on cosmeticly exposed parts lately. Again, making tge yse of the cheapest lumber you can buy not out of necessity but as a preference for the grain and light color that takes color very well!
Thanks for this, im off to home depot for some $2.50 doug fir studs and a couple more boxes of the kreg screws. I need a couple chairs🤘🏻
Boy, you are pocket hole happy, try some woodworking now
nice $10 chair but $1000 tools needed?
No that is not true. You could build it with around $100 worth of tools. The point of the video isn't the tools anyway, it is to inspire creativity and show that a lot can be done with a little.
i have basic tools and the jig for the holes is $100 ,but anyway, show me how to do it with basic tools
i have dril,l mitter saw,sander,but how do you split the 2x6
Plamen Kosovski I understand what your saying but if you don't have a cricular saw then ypu don't have basic tools
@@plamenkosovski5890Circular saw
dont forget 6 $ in pocket screws :)
Your video is misleading. You can't expect everyone to have those tools. And you can't define "the price" of the stool as only the wood. At the end you say $10 but the title says $3. Stop using click bait and make something decent.
The complainers are use to seeing the joinery videos where they use no fasteners but that’s an ancient technique meant for people with extra money to blow or master craftsmen that have the time. Nothing wrong with using fasteners to fasten
No glue? Yeah this is going to hurt someone.
agreed...
Watched until you said "pocket hole." Never used them, never will.
Gee, and just think of all the terrible accidents we've seen on the news about pocket hole projects falling apart and injuring people....
Or maybe he doesn't like the way they look on the finished stool.
Timothy Heater pocket holes are useable when paired with wood glue. They only slightly strengthen the joint. I mainly use them to pull glued joints together tightly, especially for table top joinery. Dowels or biscuits only work if all of your boards are the same thickness. I don't have a planer so that's not always the case. All joinery has an application.
Timothy Heater agreed.
Landon Wilson pocket joints are real joinery.
