How To Build A Dining Room Chair Plans

How To Build A Dining Room Chair Plans – Earlier this year I created a DIY farmhouse dining table and side benches. Along with this table I also wanted to build two camping chairs. So I went through a lot of pictures on Pinterest trying to find the chair I wanted. I found some examples, but I wanted the chair to be longer than the chairs I found on Pinterest. Here are the steps to make this DIY farmhouse chair.

I designed and built this homemade kitchen chair with a high back to match our dining room table set. This DIY chair is very sturdy and will hold a lot of weight. Also, with the soft cushion, it is very comfortable instead of a handmade wooden high chair.

First, using a miter saw, cut two lengths of 2x6s 48″. These 48″ long 2x6s will be used for the back legs and back posts. If you prefer to have a short back column for your camping chair, you can always make it shorter. Draw the leg/post outline on the 2×6 like this. Pictured Use a hacksaw for most of the cuts, then use a hacksaw to cut the back of these legs, you won’t be able to cut the middle with a hacksaw, so a hacksaw is the best tool for this.

Next, we will make a transverse bar that connects the two back posts. Using a miter saw, cut two rails at 45 degrees on both sides to be 17 5/8” long. I didn’t want to buy an extra 1×3 board just for these two rails, so I used a 1×4 board. Then with a table saw I cut 17 5/8″ long strips to 1×3 width (actual width 2 ½”). See the cut list header for additional measurements. Next, find the center of the rail and make a notch 2 ½” wide and 3/8″ deep (3/8″ is half the thickness of the board). To cut the notch for the rail, I used a hacksaw. The blade protrudes 3/8″ inches. Then, in the area marked with the notch, cut several times until all the wood is cut and a notch is made. You can use a carving chisel to remove excess wood. of the notch

Now take the 1×4 board and the 1×3 board and cut them to 16″ lengths. Then, using the Kreg jig, drill a pocket hole on each side of the 1×4 and 1×3 board (see photo). When attaching these rails, be sure to use wood glue at each joint/joint. In the previous step the notches you created will slide together, creating an X-shaped cross. Use clamps to hold the cross in place, then using a nail gun (with 2 nails), attach the cross at the top and bottom to the rails.

Take a 2×3 board and cut two pieces 17 ½” long. These boards will be the front legs. Next, take a 1×3 board and cut two apron pieces 17 ½” long. These boards will connect the front leg to the rear right leg under the seat. Like the cross member in step 2, I didn’t want to buy a board. extra stretcher, so I used a 1×4 board by splitting it in half, creating a 1 ¼” wide board. Using these 1 ¼” wide boards, I cut 19″ long and one side at 10 degrees. These boards are called racks and the front and they will also attach the back legs, but this time at the bottom.Drill the holes as shown for the apron and brush.Attach these pieces with wood glue and 1 1/4″ hole screws.

Similar to step 4, cut the aprons and stretchers for the front and back of the seat. All of these pieces are 16″ long. Drill the holes for the pockets as shown and attach the two sides of the seat using wood glue and 1 1/4″ head screws. Then attach the crossbar to the back posts. The pocket holes at the top of the cross can be covered with a 3/8 dowel to hide the screws. See the Kids Dining Table or Stool project for an example of sealing the bag holes with a 3/8″ stool. At this point I painted the entire frame of the farm chair with primer and then white paint.

Take the ¾” plywood and cut a piece 19″x20″. Then cut a cushion 1″ larger than the plywood on all four sides (21×22). Cover the cushion with fabric and plywood the main fabric underneath. When finished, attach the seat to the seat 1 1/4″ with pocket hole screws.

Your information As I said earlier this week, I’m sharing how I built Parson’s chairs for our DIY farmhouse table. I also wanted to try to save money on chairs, but I couldn’t find one that matched our table, had a fabric we liked, or didn’t have arms and legs. Each of these chairs costs $40. The biggest cost came from the fabric. Home decor fabric isn’t cheap, but I found this one on sale at Hobby Lobby. I wanted something that would complement our home decor and not show the stains of dirty little fingers. I received the plans for these chairs from the wonderful Ana White. Your plans are great, but I’ve made some adjustments to better fit our needs/wants. According to another proud post, I used 2x3s for the seats and backs, as well as the back legs. I also increased the height of the chair backs to 22 inches and changed the back angle from 15 degrees to 5 degrees. I wanted them to sit straighter as they are formal dining chairs in our casual dining room 🙂

The first step is to assemble the seat of the chair. I used my Kreg Jigto to drill all the pocket holes in my seats. Using 2 1/2″ pocket screws, I attached the sides of the seats together. This was the hardest part. Resting the back was a little difficult to tighten everything down.

Once the sides and back are attached, you will reattach the bottom and back seats with the 2 1/2″ pocket screws.

Next you will start building the legs. Be sure to face the holes in the pocket to attach the seat to the seat correctly when assembling the legs. I almost made that mistake a few times 🙂

I used 1/2″ plywood for the backs and bottom of the seats. You can also use jute fabrics (available at upholstery and fabric stores) on the underside of the seat. After sitting in these for a few months, my husband thinks we should go with jute straps to make the seat a little more flexible (is that a word?). If I can, I will replace the bottom of the plywood with a membrane. One day… After assembling all the chairs, I finished the base with Minwax Provencial stain and Minwax Polycrylic. There is no need to finish the seat as it will be covered with fabric.

I used spray adhesive to attach the 1/2″ foam padding to the seat back. Be careful not to push too hard on the seat back.

I cut off the excess with scissors to do the back sides as well. Then I poured adhesive on the seat and attached the foam box.
