- This is a step by step tutorial how to build a high chair (tall chair). The seat top is 28” tall which is perfect for a 42” kitchen island. This step by step process is very easy to follow! I will show you every step you need and every cut you need to make to build this chair. We will use basic woodworking tools and no expensive or complicated tools that normal people don’t have. You can build it!

Making one right now. Thanks!
No problem!
Nice job!!!
Thank you!
You made this look so easy and these chairs look awesome!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️
Thanks!
@@DIYMAN You’re welcome
Thank you
No problem!
We absolutely LOVE your design! I didn't see a cut list. Would you be able to share that? My husband built me a gorgeous island and for more than it costs, I can buy similar stools. UGH! I really want him to make me some and a cut list will make it so he doesn't have to figure it out and take forever with it. :)
Thanks! Check out my instructables page for the cut list! www.instructables.com/How-to-Build-a-High-Chair/
Ove the shirt, definitely will be doing this chair
Awesome!
The 3rd screwdriver you picked up actually shows on the top that it is a screwdriver. All my screwdrivers and nut drivers actually show slotted/phillips/standard/metric markings on the top part of the handle. Klein and Stanley are the brands I use. I will definitely be making 6 of these chairs for a huge 6 feet wide and 44 inch tall wire spool I just acquired. Awesome video and chairs.
I was hoping no one would catch that 😏
DIY MAN Ooppps, sorry.
That’s pretty great how you made those! I’m trying to learn new ideas myself and will definitely keep this one in mind!
Thank you! I’ll be sure and check out your channel.
Oh man. I'm going to be putting in a request with hubby for some chairs this winter now!
Great! Get him working!
You should sale big paper templates for the chair leg cuts. I would definitely buy one
That’s a great idea.🤔 I’ve been considering starting a website. I may look into that
Awesome, soon as you do let me know, cause you got your first buyer
Cool chair. How do you figure out the cuts on the legs?
Thanks! Trial and error. Lol
I am starting from scratch in regards to tools would I be able to do all this with a miter and circular saw? Hoping to pick up those 2 during an upcoming black friday sale.
Absolutely! The back leg/chair back may be a bit tricky, but you could definitely do it! I’ve done it before.
I love the color. Do you remember what part White/Hunter Green you used?
I think it was a about half of each
THIS ONE AND THAT ONE
I've started this build. I've made the cuts and after making the first glue-up, realized there may be a mistake in the voice over of the video. At 1:45 seconds you show the lumber that is needed. You show two 13", two 13 1/2", and two 14 1/2" 1x3's.
At 2:58 you show pocket holes being drilled in the 1x3's but you don't show the 13 inch 1x3's at that point.
At 3:15 you say to USE the 13 1/2 1x3's on the sides.
I did that -- I've glued and screwed that wood to the back legs. I'm not sure if that's a voice over mistake or not because in the next step you also say to use the 13 1/2 1x3's. There were only two total on the cut list.
At 3:45 you say to attach the 13 1/2 1x3's... as mentioned above. So I'm assuming I'm either supposed to attach the 14 1/2's here OR I was supposed to attach the 14 1/2's at the 3:15 mark? I'm not sure...
At 4:15 you're attaching 13 1/2 2x2's and this is the concerning part because it leads me to believe the 3:15 voice over is a mistake and it's currently drying in my garage. Can you clarify the cuts?
At 5:40 you use the 13" 1x3's.
But what never gets mentioned in the video are the 14 1/2" 1x3's other than to cut them. So you likely used them in the video and when voicing over, mentioned a different cut or something, not sure.
Hey man, Im so sorry! I made a mistake! At 3:45, you should be attaching the 14.5” 1x3s to the front and back.
Also, you need three 13” 1x3s. The video kinda cuts that bottom one out of the pic if you’re not really watching for it.
Also, those don’t need pocket holes. They make up the three boards on the back of the chair. I used a small nail gun to attach those.
I will try to get cards up to let people know about the mistake! Sorry you had to deal with that!
@@DIYMAN no worries, I worked it out! :). Build complete, tomorrow I'm staining dark walnut. Thanks for the video! Guys like you change the world with your time.
Awesome! Thanks man! I appreciate that!
So did you use actual two by twos or rip a 2 x 4 in half
I used actual 2x2s in this video
How would you adjust these measurements for a counter top height table? Where the seat top is 24” off the ground.
Cut the front legs at 22.5” and the back legs at 44.” Subtract 4” from the bottom of the measurement when marking the back legs. Then join the side bracing at 22.5” I believe this would be all you need to do to change it
@@DIYMAN thanks! Did you use pressure treated wood? I’m planning on keeping mine outside during the summer.
I did not, but you definitely could make it out of that. That’s ingenious
Great video. I assume if I wanted to make the chair taller like 4 inches I'd just add 4in to the back and 4in to the front?
Yes. Make sure that you add it to the bottom of the back leg measurement, then make sure that bracing is moved accordingly 👌
@@DIYMAN cool. I'm making one today for my wife's island and hopefully I can get it right.
Awesome! I’d love to see the finished product. I started a page on FB called Handmade DIY Projects if you have one and want to share

How many 2x4s total did you need to make 1 stool?
2
@@DIYMAN thank you. I will try this.
You’re welcome!
I'm not a expert wood worker but I think that there are some measurements that are off
Yes, there is a mistake in the video. At the 3:45 mark, you should attach the 14.5” 1x3s to the front and back. I think I incorrectly said 13.5” 1x3s. There is a card showing the error if you watch it on a desktop version, but I’m afraid to edit the video using TH-cam. Every time I do that, the video becomes corrupted and can no longer be watched.
Where is the material list?
I believe it’s at the end of the video on this one. If not, I made an instructable on this one with the material list. www.instructables.com/How-to-Build-a-High-Chair/
Please use the push stick on side closest to the fence, that bad boy will shoot out of there in a millisecond and do great harm.
Thank you! I’m still learning. I’ve never owned a table saw before.
@@DIYMAN I'm right there with you. I just picked up my first table saw earlier today. Love your videos. Keep posting them!
Yes please. Be safe
If I could ever get those legs right I would be happy. I've cut so many and they always look crazy wrong.
That is definitely the hardest part. I’ve cut them slightly larger than my lines in the past and sanded down to the line. It’s a little more work, but it can make them look a little nice. You could also set up a jig on the table saw, but that’s a lot of work unless you are building them for a living
@@DIYMAN I actually am building furniture right now. Got into doing it when my husband got laid off due to Covid and just kept at it. Had a few people ask for chairs and I'd like to be able to provide them, but man it's hard! Ha.
Yeah, they can be kinda tricky. Hopefully you can figure out a good system
@@DIYMAN thanks!. Me too! Your videos definitely help!
You should build yourself a work table
It way easier lolol for your back
Thankfully, I have one now. Lol
I notice you also say 13 and 1/2 for the front and the back don't you mean 14 and 1/2
Yes. That is a mistake on that video. Sorry about that
Pretty easy to figure out these stools are super easy
Thank you! I wanted to make some plans that were as simple as possible
Great design, but don't cut wood, that way with a meter saw. I had to close my eyes!
Thank you! I hope to never have to again
