Tools and materials:
Air compressor, nail and staple gun kit
A few years ago I made a kids chair. Now I had to make a second one out of spruce. I also made a few fine tunings to the first one.
I first made a paper template using the first chair as reference.
I then planed and cut my wood to size. I used the table saw and the bandsaw. I then sanded the pieces to my lines. I also used a chisel to clean the pieces I couldn’t reach with the sander.
I used dowel joinery to join the pieces together.
While glueing the sides I wanted to make some fine tunings to the first one. I removed the screws, and removed wood with the router and chisel. I then glued new wood in place which I then sanded and planed flush. I then painted and varnished the chair.
Back to the new chair. I glued the sides in place. To glue the back I first planed it with the block plane until I achieved a good fit.
Next I glued the base. Finally latex paint and water based varnish again.
And my chair was ready. It’s quite lighter coloured because it’s spruce. The old one was pine and it was really old wood.
But that was it see you soon with a new project video.
