If you want to freshen up the decor in your home and also dream of trying your hand at carpentry, these two desires can easily be combined. An excellent solution is to make wooden chairs with your own hands, photos of which are presented below. These pieces of furniture are always appreciated for their practicality. They will come in handy in a city apartment, in a private house, and in a country house. The usual design is simple and quite within the power of a novice carpenter. And for those who have experience, you can choose a more complex drawing of a chair with a backrest. In any case, the homemade product will certainly be in demand.

To make a wooden chair with your own hands, you need to stock up not only with ideas, but also with some materials. First, consider whether you will buy them or prepare them yourself. You can make a seat from boards that are commercially available. If you have the necessary equipment, you can buy logs and process them yourself. In most cases, craftsmen prefer to combine solid wood, boards, logs and beams. Sometimes plywood is also used. You may need upholstery material if you want the chair with a back to be soft.

So, when you purchase logs, inspect them carefully. There should be no cracks or rot on them. It is important that the logs are dry, with a minimum number of knots. To make reliable wooden chairs, it is preferable to use oak, pine, linden or beech. They are easy to work with, durable and beautiful. Just in case, buy more material than you need to make the chair. It may happen that during the work you break some part.

For work you may need:

• saw;
• plane;
• jigsaw;
• chisel;
• cutter;
• screwdriver;
• construction stapler;
• roulette;
• furniture glue;
• screws or dowels;
• sanding paper.

Types of chairs

Before starting work, you need to decide on the drawing. Did you know that there are several types of chairs? Here are some options:

1. From the array. The most common and popular product. Its advantage is reliability, stability and durability. The disadvantage is that it is heavy and massive, and also that such a product is large in size. Although if there are small children in the house and you love eco-style, this is your option.
2. With soft seat. A good choice for a cozy apartment. The design has thin legs, an elegant back, moderate dimensions, and is partially equipped with plywood inserts.
3. Armchair. Great for a veranda, summer terrace or office. Often has soft upholstery.
4. Folding. Convenient for hiking and temporary use in the country. When folded, it takes up little space, turning into a flat structure.
5. Transformer. Can turn into a ladder.
6. Stool. Also belongs to the category of chairs. Stools are compact and easy to make; they are perfect for a wooden bathhouse.

Chair making process

Having decided on the model, you need to calculate the dimensions and make drawings. If you have found a suitable scheme, you can optionally adjust some of the numbers, unless this negatively affects the strength and stability of the structure. Draw each of the elements separately to follow the detailed diagram without errors.

Terms

In order not to get confused in carpentry terminology, it is worth clarifying the name of each of the parts. The side supports are essentially the back legs on which the backrest is attached. The drawers are the frame or frame that serves as the base of the seat. The front supports are attached to them. Legs are crossbars that are installed between the legs to give the product strength. The chairs are equipped with armrests. To strengthen the drawers, metal corners or plywood products are sometimes used. Instead of self-tapping screws, dowels can be used - wooden pegs that are driven into pre-prepared holes.

Elements of a wooden chair

Stages of work

Regular wooden chair

It is advisable to start with the simplest options. Make yourself a drawing of the product to clearly see what it should look like in the end. Here is an approximate progress of work:

1. Cut out the rear legs 110 cm high from square blocks.
2. Make the front legs 42 cm high.
3. Sand these elements with a machine or sandpaper.
4. Determine the location where the frames are attached and use a cutter to make grooves for joining.
5. Select 2 horizontal and 5 vertical posts for the back of the chair and also make grooves in the horizontal ones.
6. Make tenons that will fit into the grooves.
7. Assemble the structure to see how it holds up. If all is well, disassemble the back, coat the holes with wood glue and reassemble. Use a clamp or rope to hold the pieces together.
8. Fasten the legs together with a frame made of drawers, also placing them on glue.
9. During work, constantly check the accuracy of the tongue-and-groove fastening. To make the chair more durable, after the glue has dried, fasten the joints of the parts with self-tapping screws, the caps of which are covered with plugs.
10. When making home wooden chairs, the seats can be made soft by placing a piece of foam rubber and covering them with thick fabric or dermantine.

1. Making a seat 2. We make the rear legs that go into the abutments
3. We cut out the legs themselves and grind them 4. We make the front and back hags
5. We also make side hags 6. We make back parts - curly crossbars
7. Next, mark the depth of the backrest. It should have a deep curvilinear shape - along a circle with a radius of 500 mm 8. We make the front legs of the chair from timber measuring 425x50x25 mm
9. Next, we cut out the last two parts - stops designed to secure the seat to a box consisting of hags and legs 10. The first step is to assemble the back back using wood glue
11. In the same way, we glue the front hag into the front legs and tighten it with clamps 12. When the glue on the front and back parts of the chair dries, we connect them together with side hags, which we also install with glue, in the grooves intended for them
13. We tighten the entire structure with clamps until the glue dries completely 14. Instead of a solid panel for the seat. we use boards 50-70 mm wide, 10-15 mm thick

You can see the progress of the work in more detail in the video. Of course, this whole process will require time and skill. But in the end you will get original wooden chairs made by yourself.

If you make furniture from solid wood, it is important to ensure that it is not only beautiful, but also safe. This is especially necessary if there are small children in the house. So, all surfaces and corners of boards and bars must be sanded. Then they should be painted or treated with stain and varnish. As for the latter, it is better to use one that is odorless - water-based. This way you can be sure that the coating is harmless.

It has already been said above what kind of wood chairs are usually made from. But there are some nuances here too. Red rocks, for example, look simply gorgeous and have a beautiful structure. Linden is lighter than oak, but with the help of stain it can be tinted to match it. Carved chairs look beautiful in elegant interiors. So if you have carving skills, do not miss the opportunity to practice on the back and even the legs of the product.

If you are making furniture for a baby, do not use metal corners, because he can get hurt on them. The parts can be connected with screws or dowels. To make the structure more stable, simply choose thicker parts.

Other options

By the way, if a DIY wooden chair is too expensive for you, you can also use pieces of plywood. They will make quite a decent back and seat. In combination with wooden blocks, the product will be cheaper, but no less durable and beautiful. Or you can not even work on creating a seat and back from boards, but take ready-made wooden pallets (pallets) and make a wooden chair from them.

Lately, bar counters have become increasingly popular. And if there is such a table, you just need to make chairs of a suitable shape from wood with your own hands. In essence, this furniture is a high round stool. The base can be made from two pieces of thick plywood or solid wood. You will sit on the first one, and the second one will serve as a link for attaching the seat to the support. For ease of use of the structure, the upper part can be covered with foam rubber and leatherette. In Moscow, such chairs are very popular, but they are expensive. But for home production you won’t have to spend so much.

To make a bar stool yourself, you need to attach the bottom circle with self-tapping screws to the supports, and the top circle to the bottom one. Bars can act as legs. At the bottom it is also worth making an additional crossbar around the perimeter. It will simultaneously strengthen the structure and serve as a footrest.

Now you know how to make a chair with your own hands. You can experiment with sizes and shapes. Perhaps other ideas will come to your mind as you work. Having managed to assemble the structure, you will know how to repair it if necessary. And most importantly, your home will be decorated with practical furniture into which you have put your soul.

The difficulties in caring for children are largely due to the fact that buying everything necessary can be quite a task for the family budget. Another question is whether parents manage to find exactly what they would like in stores, or whether there is actually nothing ideal among the assortment. Both reasons that prevent you from purchasing this or that product, one way or another suggest the idea that it would be nice to make it yourself. For example, a children's high chair - if dad has enough experience working with various tools, he can easily make it with his own hands.

Peculiarities

Contrary to its apparent simplicity, a DIY high chair is not such a simple task that you can complete it without any preparation. Do not start work until you have a clear understanding of what the end result should look like and what operations will need to be performed to achieve it.

Also, don't ignore calculations. Any chair must be strong enough to support its “passenger”, and a child, although not heavy, will not sit neatly on it, especially since the dimensions of such furniture are also small.

Strength requirements are relevant not only for basic materials, but also for fasteners, be they self-tapping screws, glue or grooves. In addition, the baby is constantly growing, and it makes sense to make a high chair with a reserve for at least a couple of years in advance. For all its strength, the product should be comfortable, that is, approximately correspond to the dimensions of the owner.

Also try to ensure the proper lightness of the furniture being manufactured - it should be convenient for the owner to independently move his chair to where he wants to sit at the moment.

Don't forget to stay safe. Furniture, in any case, cannot be traumatic, and children's furniture - even more so. The presence of any sharp edges is not allowed, and if the main material is wood, as happens in most cases, then it must be carefully sanded to prevent splinters from peeling off. When covering the finished product with varnish or paint, give preference to natural ones - children tend to put everything in their mouths and can be poisoned by the toxic coating.

Finally, remember that this chair is for a child. In addition to suitable sizes, it is desirable for a piece of furniture to also be beautiful. If complex decor is not a task for you, at least try to paint it in bright colors.

Drawings, dimensions, diagrams

Before proceeding directly to the manufacture of parts, it is necessary to draw up a drawing with dimensions - this is the only way that all components will ideally fit one another. You can use one of those ready-made options that are already posted on the World Wide Web, or draw up a diagram yourself. It is important to note here that there are drawings and instructions on the Internet that explain how to make a standard table and chair, so they are usually not suitable for those who want to create something original - for example, an elephant chair.

• Drawing the table and chairs, which can be made in the form of a kit, do not have to strictly follow the principles of drawing: they do not have so many details that they cannot be kept in mind. The main thing for us is to make sure that all the dimensions match, and the parts fit perfectly together, but the methods for connecting individual parts must be present in the drawing. In general, it can be presented schematically, without high precision of the drawing.

• Think over the dimensions (or choose ready-made drawings based on them), starting from the comfort of the child. Chairs whose seat is at knee level or slightly below are considered comfortable. In the case of a highchair, it is recommended to make the seat a little higher, because the child will probably still grow. At the same time, do not overdo it: if it is difficult for the baby to climb onto the seat, then the product can be considered a failure.

• Determining the size of the seat itself, keep in mind that the owner should fit comfortably on it, but do not make it too large - this will make the chair heavier and difficult to carry. The normal height of the backrest is approximately two-thirds or three-quarters of the owner's back; making it higher than the neck is no longer practical. When determining the thickness of future parts, rely only on the strength of the selected material and the weight of the child.

Materials

In terms of ease of processing and environmental friendliness, among materials for the manufacture of children's furniture, wood and its derivatives undoubtedly hold the palm. Therefore, you can most often find a wooden high chair. However, you cannot choose just any tree - this is also worth thinking about before starting to make it. The most popular among all types of wood is beech. It has the strength of oak, but it is easier to process and costs less. In general, it is deciduous trees that are considered priority. Among inexpensive options, birch is often chosen; linden can also be considered.

Spruce and pine are suitable for making furniture from coniferous wood, but the resin contained in any such wood is dangerous - it can stain clothes, and it can also pose a health hazard. Regardless of the specific species, choose a uniform tree, without knots or cracks, with an even texture.

The seat material may be similar to the body material, or it may be fundamentally different. In order to save money and achieve greater flexibility, the seat is also made of plywood, and even chipboard. When choosing them, give preference only to the most durable types, but remember that in any case they are inferior in durability to solid natural wood.

For increased softness, the seat can be additionally equipped with a small foam cushion covered with a fabric that is pleasant to the touch.

There is also a seating option made from plastic bottles - both whole and cut. Harmful plastic, present as garbage in any apartment and polluting the environment, could get a second life, especially since its strength and durability are very high. This option is still much less common due to the difficulty of securely fastening individual parts, as well as the not very attractive appearance of the finished product.

Colors and decor

For all its practicality and convenience, the baby will definitely not like the chair if it cannot be described with the word “beautiful”. Nobody makes any special chairs for teenagers, but brightness and attractiveness are very important for younger children. Therefore, do not limit yourself to just clear varnish or discreet monochromatic solutions. A single-color color is generally acceptable only if a light or very bright shade is chosen - often red or yellow, the so-called “warm” tones.

If drawing is not alien to you, please your child with interesting design solutions. You can go the “adult” route by painting the frame one color, and the seat and back in another, or you can focus on the child’s desire for something bright and defiant. The simplest option is “rings” on the legs of the chair; any patterns and even just blots are also acceptable, provided that it looks cute and positive. Regardless of how much and what kind of paint you used, do not forget - it should not be toxic.

If you have a creative streak and a desire to complicate the task a little for the overall benefit of the matter, you can create more complex decor. Another option is to decorate the legs or back of the chair with carvings, but adults would like this solution more. But for a child, a chic solution would be decoration in the form of one or another animal. The classic version is when the back is cut out to resemble an elephant, or any other animal that is cute to a child, and then painted to look more like a “cartoon” character.

Covers can also become a unique type of decoration. In addition to their typical functions, such as simplifying the cleaning of furniture and increasing the comfort of its use, they can also decorate the back of the chair. Ideally, they should depict the child’s favorite hero, characters from popular fairy tales, or the same animals. Mom can help dad make a cover, especially if she knows how to embroider or has fabric appliqué skills. If your mother does not have such talents, you can simply alter the cover from clothes on which the necessary pictures were applied at the factory.

For the youngest children

Children of the youngest age still sit on a high chair for only one activity - eating food. Teaching a child to eat while sitting, and to sit in general, particularly at the table, is important and necessary. However, the peculiarities of its development at this stage do not allow the use of ordinary chairs for this. The problem lies in the fact that a simple chair does not have a back with arms, and a tiny child himself will not yet be able to sit on it straightly and will simply fall.

As for children's high chairs, their sizes usually do not allow you to choose a normal table for them. In this situation, a special high chair would be an excellent solution.

Such furniture should be comfortable for both the child and his mother - for now the child cannot eat on his own, so the mother will have to feed him with a spoon. For the convenience of this operation, the chair is made at a normal height, or even a little higher - so that the mother does not bend over. The actual lifespan of such a chair is about a year, so if you have one child and the family is not planning a second one at all, you can choose not the most durable materials for manufacturing.

In terms of manufacturing, a high chair is perhaps the most complex - it has the largest number of parts. The relatively small seat is raised high above the floor, which forces the installation of additional stiffening ribs between the legs for improved stability of the structure.

Taking into account the specifics of a child of the appropriate age, both the backrest and railings are simply necessary - they must completely exclude the possibility of the baby falling. Moreover, there should be a barrier in front, although it also has another useful function - it plays the role of a countertop on which food will be placed. The space under the tabletop is left free - the baby will stick his feet there.

Cutting and assembling such a chair is quite simple. First, two identical side halves are cut out according to the drawing, which are then connected to each other by the seat, back and stiffeners using grooves, glue or self-tapping screws. Before assembly, all individual parts should be sanded to a perfectly smooth state, the finished product is varnished or painted - ready.

Models for older children

The peculiarity of high chairs for children who have finally left infancy lies in the significant variety of design options, limited only by the imagination of the creator. The backrest is still considered a mandatory attribute, but the railings are no longer there, as are the front barriers. There is no point in saving on materials in this situation - if the furniture is made with a margin of size, then the child will be able to use his high chair for many years.

The manufacturing process consists of a few simple steps:

• Think through the design down to the smallest detail and draw up a drawing. Decide on the number of parts of the body - will it simply consist of two solid halves or of separate legs and separate supports for the seat, will the backrest base be a continuation of the rear legs or will it be attached separately, and so on. Calculate everything, including the thickness of the seat and legs, provide stiffening ribs and additional supports for the seat in advance. Provide grooves and mark places for screws.
• If doubts about the correctness of the selected parameters still remain, try to assemble a temporary chair from cardboard according to the drawing. Unfortunately, it does not have the same strength to test the product from all sides, and it differs in thickness from wood or plywood, which also needs to be taken into account when specifying the dimensions, but you will get a visual idea of ​​the future product.

• Start cutting out individual parts from wood or plywood. It is recommended to start with the body. It’s good if there are a lot of identical parts in the set - then the subsequent ones can be cut out by simply tracing the finished first one. If the design allows, do not delay assembly until you have cut everything out - start as soon as you have at least two parts that need to be connected. This will help you immediately notice any design flaws, if any. Once the pieces are ready, sand them smooth.
• When all the elements are ready, proceed to the final assembly. Do not limit yourself to one type of fastener; in particular, glue the grooves - this will significantly strengthen the product and increase its durability. Ensure that the grooves fit as deep as possible - tap the joints with a hammer to make the fastening more secure.
• The last step is varnishing and painting.

No matter how detailed and intelligible a theoretical explanation is, it is unlikely to compare in terms of information content with a clear example, because it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times.

N and the video is one of the best examples of how you can make a highchair with your own hands. The master talks about literally everything, including the dimensions of the parts he used, so you can even do without a drawing, simply repeating what he says. The resulting chair is quite simple in design, but easy to make. You can find many other similar videos on the Internet, but the models there are always approximately the same, but here the process is shown in great detail and clearly.

In fact, this is not a labor-intensive or lengthy process at all. The main thing is to understand which model you prefer and what main functions the product will perform.

To make a good-quality chair, spare no expense, buy wood of the highest quality. Even in this case, it will cost less than buying a finished product from the manufacturer. Beech, pine, and oak are most suitable for these purposes. The frame is made of timber with a section of 40 by 40 and 40 by 60, and the planks and lintels will be made from boards one to one and a half centimeters thick. If you need a chair with both a back and a soft seat, also prepare a sheet of plywood.

Prepare the following tools:

• Jigsaw
• Chisel
• Plane
• Hammer
• Screwdriver
• Sandpaper

How to make a chair out of wood with your own hands? Blueprints. Video

The simplest way to make wooden furniture is a stool, that is, a chair without a back that can have a hard or soft seat. Look at the photos and videos of their production, thanks to which everything will be crystal clear to you.

So, how to make a chair with your own hands? To do this, you need to take four beams, the cross-section of which is 40 by 40, and the length of each is 44 cm. When working with wood, you need to make sure that there are no burrs on it. Sandpaper will help with this. If there are strong roughnesses, apply coarser. If the roughness is not severe, then use fine sandpaper.

You also need to prepare four drawers; the chair seat will rest on these jumpers. The dimensions of the drawers are 2 by 5 by 28 cm. To strengthen the structure, prepare four jumpers measuring 3 by 2 by 28 cm.

It will be great if the seat is made of a solid wide board. If there is no such thing, take the boards and connect them with a “mortise and tenon”.

Make spikes on the legs and drawers (their ends). Accordingly, grooves are also needed on the legs. The tenons and grooves are 2 cm each, the second from 27 cm from the floor at a height.

To check how tightly each part fits together, they should be assembled as if into a single whole, and after that you can glue all the parts together with special wood glue, as the Levsha workshop does in St. Petersburg. Where the drawers are attached, strengthen the structure with self-tapping screws.

You need to screw a self-tapping screw into each leg of the chair from the front side, recessing their heads into the wood, and mask the fastening points with putty and a plastic plug.

As a result, the stool needs to be painted, or simply varnished, this is at your discretion.

Variety of shapes and options for making wooden chairs

If you have a milling machine, you can make a wide variety of shapes and types of chairs.

If you have your own plot, and there are also cut down trees on it, using them, you will make very original logs of wood with soft pads. It’s also very interesting to process the trunk so that it has a back.

You can also use thick, untreated branches to make your own chairs by removing the crust from them and varnishing them. Here it is important to ensure the absence of knots and other protruding particles by opening it with paint and varnish material.

And here’s another option, if you make the most ordinary version of a chair into an ordinary rocking chair. To do this, attach the runners to the legs, and also make armrests.

For a child, the chair must be burr-free and safe - these are the most important factors!

These chairs have a very simple and durable design. The back legs and backrests are made from one piece of wood, 25 mm thick. It's best to make a template for the chair leg, and cut it with a bandsaw.

The next task is to make the edges semicircular. Using a router and matching bit, make a semicircle on the chair legs.

The back of the chair is a little more difficult to assemble, so when clamping, straighten it immediately and maintain evenness.

The front legs and bridges are a little easier to glue and assemble. Pay attention to the two small clamps on the corners, this is done so that there is full contact when gluing.

The next step is to connect the front and back parts. Be sure to place the chair on a flat surface during this step. If the chair is slightly uneven, or rather will wobble, you can install the clamp diagonally to compensate in the opposite direction.

Once everything is glued and the glue is completely dry, remove excess glue with a chisel. It's best to leave the glue until it's completely dry so you don't risk spreading it over a wider area by wiping it off.

The next important point is the seating area.

The seat is actually a simple square piece of wood, 42.5cm along the grain, 42cm across the grain, 16mm thick, with the back corners cut out.

To install the seat, glue another mount onto the apron, in which holes should be drilled for attaching the seat. The holes are also made so that when the humidity changes, it does not crack at the places where the screws are clamped.

Do you want to update your interior with a new piece of furniture? Make a chair from natural wood with your own hands, which will not only be beautiful in appearance, but also useful in everyday life.

Ready-made drawings with dimensions will make the process easier for beginners in carpentry.

Which tree to choose

To make a chair from natural wood, you can use the following lumber:

• boards;
• beam;
• array;
• logs

In most cases, they resort to a combination of several types of materials, each of them performs its own function in the structure.

You can buy ready-made materials or, if you have the necessary equipment, make them yourself. For this you will need quality logs. When choosing logs, pay attention to their appearance: the presence of knots, cracks, fungal diseases. Examine the top layer of wood - sometimes logs are tinted to improve their consumer properties.

If you decide to purchase lumber for a chair, you should pay attention to the following recommendations:

1. 1. The timber and boards must be dry, with smooth edges and no cracks. Pay attention to distortions - only minor deviations are allowed, as well as the presence of holes (with a diameter of 2 to 4 mm), symptoms of rot, mold.
   2. The boards have a thickness of up to 100 mm, timber - from 100 mm.

1. Solid wood is a material that contains exclusively natural wood without any impurities. Choosing an array involves finding the type of wood that is best suited for creating.
2. It is preferable to make chairs from oak or mahogany - these varieties are known for their excellent decorative and practical qualities (strength, durability, easy to process).
3. Other suitable materials include pine and beech.

Important! It is necessary to stock up on wood, bars and boards in a slightly larger volume than calculated for production, since there is a possibility of spoiling or breaking one of the parts.

Drawings with dimensions

The process of making a chair begins with creating a drawing. If this is your first product, it is best to abandon the intricate designs and try to make a chair of the simplest design with a fabric seat upholstery. You can use the drawing below (all dimensions are in millimeters):

Materials and tools

In the process of making a chair you will need the following materials:

• boards (thickness – 10-15 mm);
• timber (parameters – 40 by 60 mm and 40 by 40 mm);
• sanding paper;
• foam rubber and durable fabric;
• self-tapping screws;
• furniture glue.

If you intend to make the bars yourself, then for this you need to acquire special equipment. Woodworking tools:

• construction stapler;
• saw;
• conductors for furniture;
• plane;
• chisel;
• mallet;
• jigsaw (electric);
• screwdriver;
• roulette.

Description of work stages

Step 1. Prepare a beam: one is needed for the back of the chair (80 cm in length), the second for the legs located in front (44 cm). Make holes in the bars at the same height - they are needed for the base.
The manufactured parts need to be laid on top of each other and the cuts of the legs should be aligned. Mark the location of the holes.
You need to make two holes on the adjacent chair legs so that you end up with a kind of rectangle standing on the legs.

Step 2. Taking advantage chisel, make holes where the marks are. Get rid of sawdust clear legs.

Step 3. Make 2 longitudinal slats and 2 runners (horizontal pieces that connect the bottom of the chair legs). For this, take 4 bars with markings for future tenons. Their dimensions should correspond to about 10–12 mm.
Mark and cut the tenons as carefully as possible, as they must fit firmly into the holes. Make sure there are no gaps.

Step 4. At the next stage, the back is made. For its base, it is better to take an edged board. Make holes on the inside of the rear supports so that they correspond to the height and thickness of the backrest - the grooves are intended for its fastening. The seat is fixed using screws. To make the chair sufficiently rigid, attach small braces.

Step 5. Treat the back and legs of the chair from the outside so that they have rounded form and then polish their.

Step 6. The base of the future chair needs to be treated varnish and polish. It is best to purchase an odorless, water-based varnish. Wait until the structural elements are completely will dry out.

Step 7 If you want to make a chair with a soft seat, take foam rubber of the required size and wrap it in a fairly thick fabric. Attach the foam to the seat using a staple gun.

Step 8 The process of assembling a wooden chair begins immediately after processing all structural elements. The spikes need to be coated well with glue and driven into the grooves using a mallet. In order not to damage the varnish coating of the chair, you need to strike as much as possible. carefully.

Step 9 The last step is screwing the seat and backrest to the base of the chair. To attach furniture screws, use suitable drill bits.
The screw heads can be masked using PVA glue and sawdust. Mix these two ingredients and apply them to the caps. After treating the chair with varnish, the screws become almost invisible.

ABOUT Based on the manufacturing principle, in the future you will be able to take on more complex designs - chairs with curly legs and backs, with armrests, carved chairs, and also independently repair a wooden chair. You might want to make something original or surprise your friends copyright a product of unusual design.
