6 DIY Dining Chairs For Less Than $100 (Simple!)

  • Build all 6 of these beautiful rustic dining room chairs for less than $100! This video goes through a detailed “how to” tutorial of how to make 6 dining room chairs quickly and affordably. If you decide that you only need 4, simply make 2/3 the cuts that I mention in the video and you’ll be able to easily do so. If you build 4 chairs, you could potentially spend around $50 if you shop around for the lumber and have some of the hardware already lying around. I have a detailed material listing in the first minute or so of the video. Anyone who watches this should very easily be able to build these. Chairs are a little more labor intensive than a table, but building them yourself can save you a lot of money. Check out my video, and you’ll see that you can build them too!

    A dowel and flush trim hand saw work great for filling the kreg holes, and a lot cheaper. Awsome project. I will be building a set of these soon. Oh and you can dilute Elmer glue down with water to a paint consistency and paint it, wait about 30 to 45 minutes and paint over with a chaulk paint or other similar paint and it will crackle out.

    I assembled one of these with legs upside down by accident and it's more comfortable. Great video by the way. Simple, no superfluous information. I think you need a bit of experience to follow it, but most people have a bit of experience before they decide to make a chair. Every other chair build on TH-cam seems excessively complicated.

I noticed after reviewing the material and cut list to make sure I have everything that there is not anything about cutting the 2x4's to any size or that you ripped some of them in half. I am hoping to post a few pics to the Facebook page of the table top tonight. Love your videos.

      I have never done that, but I’ve considered making some that way, I would recommend installing the upper and lower portion of the seat back then marking out one angled piece on the back then attach it with a nail gun. I would individually cut out the two last pieces to look like one solid piece and glue and nail those in as well. Like I said, I’ve never done it, but that is how I would imagine doing it

    • @DIYMAN
      @DIYMAN  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! I built the first chair in about 2 hours to make sure the design would work correctly. Then it took me about 5 more hours over the course of 2 more days to build the last 5 chairs. The staining, painting, and polyurethane took me three days because I had to wait between coats before applying the next coat. I think it took about an hour to do each coat. Your looking at about 10-12 hours of work.

    What are the finished dimensions of the chair seats? It can't be 20" at the widest since you cut 6 pieces out of 120" (the total length of the 2x10) which doesn't take the blade width into account.

    • @DIYMAN
      @DIYMAN  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So I can’t remember the specifics, but when you cut the angled part of the seat with your miter saw, you should be able to flip over the board and cut the other side and direction. This should make up the difference for you. It’ll save you a few dollars to do that.

      I really recommend cutting these boards straight at 17.5 or 18” to make it as easy as possible. It looks just as good. However, if you want to cut the angles, I’ll try to make it a little easier to understand. First, cut 6 @ 20”
      Angle both edges from 20” down to 18 3/4”
      (In other words, mark 5/8” in from the two back corners and make a line from those to the two front corners)
      Cut 6 @ 18 3/4”
      Angle edges down from 18 3/4” to 17 1/2”

In Slovenia, almost everybody builds with porotherm clay bricks and as far as I know, dominant construction material in USA is lumber. Hence the lower lumber price in USA.

      I don’t have plans for the dining room chairs, but I do have an instructable for a high chair that is identical except the front and back legs. The front legs on the dining chairs should be 16.5” and the back legs will follow the pictures below. All other measurements (except seat height) should be the same. www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Build-a-High-Chair/

      DIY MAN thanks for the reply. I will more than likely make them in a week or so
