Making a Mid Century Modern Chair From Garbage Timber

Video Description

In this video I make a lounge chair out of some recycled pine. I’ve never made a lounge chair, although I’ve wanted to for ages, and decided now was the time. It was a bit of an experiment, so some old recycled wood was perfect in case I mucked it up, ended up building something that looked bad, or was uncomfortable. Luckily none of these things happened (subjective on how it looks) and I’ve now got a nice new chair to have my morning coffee on. If I made another, I’d make a few design tweaks, hand carving the arm rests is definitely not time efficient, and I'd prefer to build it from nicer wood and use some slightly classier joinery methods. But in the spirit of making a prototype for myself, I’m pretty happy with how this turned out.
