Day 23 - let's get started! You can see links to the complete series here, and get details about my Lowe's gift card giveaway here. In this series, we're seeing what we can make out of 2x4s. I want to keep it cheap, keep it easy, and keep it totally doable for anyone. Remember earlier this month when we built a simple chair? Today we're tackling something similar - a chunky bar stool! These bar stools are super sturdy and durable. Pull a couple up to your kitchen island for extra seating. The low back is unobtrusive while still giving some support and security, especially for kids! Let's build one! Shopping List: 2 - 2x4s @ 10' long 1 - 2x4 @ 8' long Tools: Saw Drill 2 1/2” screws (or Kreg Jig & 2 1/2" self tapping screws) 4" screws (or Kreg Jig & 2 1/2" self tapping screws) Wood glue Wood filler 2x4 Cut List: (A) - 2 @ 36" (back legs) (B) - 2 @ 22 1/2" (front legs) (C) - 6 @ 10 1/2" (back/front boards) (D) - 4 @ 13" (sides) (E) - 1 @ 14 1/2" (seat support) OR a few scraps cut at 45 degree angles (F) - 3 @ 16" (seat center) (G) - 2 @ 14 1/2" (seat sides) Dimensions: 17 1/2" wide x 36" tall x 16" deep Please read all the directions before beginning, and cut your pieces as you go, measuring before each cut. Use 2 1/2” screws or pocket holes with 2 1/2" screws unless otherwise indicated. Always use glue. Pre-drill and countersink your screws. I have not built from these exact plans, so measure lots to make sure things work out! Step 1: Build the Back Use four of the front/back boards (C) to connect the back legs (A) as shown below. The first board should be flush with the top of the legs, the next 1 1/4" down from that, the third 5 1/4" down from the second, and the fourth down 8 1/2" (**sketch up is acting weird, I can't figure out why it's showing a goofy number here. It should say 8 1/2". Sorry!**)from the third, leaving 7" below. Attach them using a Kreg Jig and pocket hole screws, or by drilling through the legs into the front boards with 4" screws and glue. Step 2: Build the Front Use two more front/back boards (C) to connect the front legs (B). Attach the first front board flush with the top of the legs, and the second 8 1/2" below that (leaving 7" underneath). Attach them using a Kreg Jig and pocket hole screws, or by drilling through the legs into the front boards with 4" screws and glue. Step 3: The Sides Now use the side boards (D) to connect the front and back sections. You will use two boards on each side of the stool and they should be flush with the outside edges of the legs. One should be flush with the top of the front legs and at the same height on the back leg, (the top should be 22 1/2" above the floor). The second board should be lined up with the bottom front/back boards with 7" underneath it. Attach them with a Kreg Jig or by drilling through the legs into the side boards with 2 1/2" screws and glue. Step 4: The Seat Start by putting in a seat support. There are a couple ways you can do this. The first is to put a support board (E) across the back of the seat opening. I didn't put one across the front because the seat boards will rest on the front board and legs which makes it quite sturdy. But if you want to be extra safe, you can! Attach these by drilling through the support into the back board and legs with 2 1/2" screws and glue. Another option would be to cut four scrap boards at 45 degree angles and attach them into the corners of the seat opening. Now you can attach the seat boards. Start by installing the center seat boards (F). These should run between the back legs and be flush with the back edge of the back board (also flush on the front). Attach them by drilling down through the seat boards and into the front/back boards with 2 1/2" screws and glue. Now attach the seat side boards (G). The should sit against the center seat boards and back legs. They will be flush across the sides and front of the stool. Attach them in the same way as the center seat boards. Step 5: Finishing Start by filling any holes and sanding everything smooth. Then finish with any pain/stain/polyurethane you like! A rustic wood finish would be a nice contrast for a crisp white kitchen. Or you could add a splash of fun with a bright coat of paint. Maybe teal or light green? Have fun! Project 2x4 Cost: $6.40 - 2 2x4s @ 10' long ($3.20 each) $2.50 - 1 2x4 @ 8' long ($2.50 each) $8.90 Total See giveaway winners here. I Did It! And a big thanks to Matt for sharing a pic of his finished bar stool! Great job! Rogers tackled two sets of bar stools that turned out beautiful. The second set is finished with distressed blue stain. He also built a custom Pub table using the pattern from our Craftsman End Table plans. The top is 28x28" and the legs are 44" (but he plans to make the 42" next time). Pam modified the bar stool plans to create these backless stools. They work perfectly in an apartment without space for a full size table, and an added bonus is that guests can swivel around to face the living room. She put the lower side supports at two different heights which gives guests of different heights a comfy place to rest their feet. They also added removable cushions they made with 18x18" pieces of foam (secured with ties that run under the seat). The custom table was built by modifying the 2x4 desk plans from day 2! Justin left his comfort zone and built this one...nice work! (via beyondthebullingtons.com) Share on Facebook
