This dining set of wooden chairs is sleek and mission-inspired. You can adjust the dimensions to fit different sizes. The back design can also be adjusted to suit your needs. The tools and skills required are simple to learn.

1. Gather Your Materials.
2x2s, 1x4s, and a sheet of 1.5″ plywood are all you will need. 1/4″ dowels, wood glue is also required. Both saws are available for rent at major hardware stores or other local businesses.

The legs of the chair must be built first. The construction of the front legs can be done easily, but the back legs will require you to use 2×4 beams to make the legs.

To cut the legs from the 2×4 slat, use a jigsaw. Use a router to smoothen their edges or a sand block.

Then, you can continue your woodworking project by building front legs and attaching them to the back legs. Use 1×4 lumber to cut the sides of the apron and glue them in place.

2. The Sides Should Be Cut. Cut The Sides.
Make holes in the seatback, side rails, and bottom leg panels. Align the 40″ side rail with the top edge of the 2ft seatback. Place the bottom leg panel on the side rail, leaving a gap of 1 inch at the base of the seatback. Attach the bottom leg panel and the seatback to the side rail. Drill pilot holes with the hand drill through the side rail, into the seatback, and bottom leg panels. Drill pilot holes are important to avoid splitting during step 3.

3. Assemble Both Sides.
Halfway through the 16.5″ posts drill 1/4″ holes, 1 1/6″ away from the top, and 2 1/3″ away from the top.

Both ends of the 1×4 boards should be cut with identical 1/4″ holes.

Halfway through the 37″ posts drill 1/4″ holes. Next, drill 14 1/6″ holes.

Use glue to attach dowels to the holes. You can then fit the pieces together to make the sides of your chair. You should align the side pieces with the tops and bottoms of the posts.

Then slide the 1x4s up from the bottom of each side piece, and screw them in place using decking screws.

4. Be Prepared For The Connections
Three pieces of 14-inch 1×4 are cut, and a 12-inch piece of 1×4 is divided into three pieces.

For the seat, cut a 17×17 inch square of plywood. To make space for the back posts, cut 1.5″x1.5” notches from two corners of the board.

Drill 1/4 inch holes in one of the 1x4s along with one of the long sides. One hole should be centered, and the other two should be 4 1/3 inches from each end.

This piece should be aligned with the piece that has the notches. The 1×4 will mark the positions of the dowel holes between the two notches. There are also 1/4″ dowel holes.

In each of the 3 pieces made from 1×4, drill 1/4″ holes for dowels.

For your decking screws, drill pocket holes that are centered at 1 3/4 inches from the tops of your short posts and 14 3/4 inches from your tall posts.

5. Make The Chair Back.
Attach dowels to the ends of the 3 pieces made from 1×4. Next, insert the dowels into the 1×4 pieces and into the seatback. Before you proceed, allow the glue to dry.

6. Place The Back And Seat Combination.
Place the seat with the side pieces underneath it. Glue the edges together. The decking screws should be inserted through the plywood, and into the middle of the posts.

7. All Things Must Be Secured
Glue the last two aprons (front and back) and screw them in place using the pilot holes that you made earlier.

Next, insert two additional decking screws through the seat and into your back apron. The screw should be placed between the three vertical bars.

If you wish to create a stronger connection, corner brackets can be placed inside the chair.

8. Prepare The Surface By Sanding It.
To prepare the surface for painting or staining, and the inside of the chair. If you don’t like the straight lines, you can use this time to smoothen out the edges.

9. Paint The Wood.
Apply wood glue to the side rail. Then Paint and stain the color as you wish. Once it is dry, you can finish! Enjoy your new chair.
