Do it! Send me a finished image on Instagram if you're in there! Also check out the similar soda I made. You might get some good ideas from that one too.
That came out great! You are right about"measure as you go". It is nice to start and finish a project in just a few hours, and on the same day. This is gorgeous enough to be an indoors chair as well. Love these simple builds.
Like your idea of clamping a piece of wood behind your joint to make sure its flush 👌 The chair looks great! The 2x4's look so much better after going through the planer and table saw. I don't have either so wouldn't be able to get a finish like that.
Yes, the planning really helps. It makes it so they don't really look like stock lumber anymore. I've had some viewers send me what they made though and even without the planning some turned out great.
@Nathan Builds, I agree about the screws. They take away from the clean lines of the chair. You could counter sink the screws, and plug them. It will give it a more appealing look. Otherwise, it's great chair.
I thought about that, but the wood is not thick enough. At this point I could remove them and plug them since the glue is dry. I'll have to think about it some more. Thanks for the feedback!
Quick question, if you have time. When determining the angles for my back and seat, do you suggest just eyeballing it to suit my personal taste? Looks like the back and seat on yours are about 105 degrees? I checked out your sketchup and was able to find a way to view the lengths of all boards but not angles. Thanks!
@@organize1979 Yeah I would just eyeball it to your preference. If I recall mine was about 100-105, but I also have a similar sofa build that is 90 degrees, but just angled back slightly. Both have worked well. Hope this helps!
Oh my gosh, where to begin! Lol! Congrats on the three thousand plus subs!! 👌 I'm gone for a little bit and you've gotten big on me! Just don't become stuck up on us followers now!!Lol! And, you even have you in the beginning now! Wow!! The little duck is getting his wings!! 😊😂🤣 I didn't get notification on your night stand! 😥 But not to worry, I'll watch them tomorrow night. 🙂 And I love this chair, easily put together and it looks good on your porch, now ya just need 5 more AND a table to fit those chairs! I also noticed that you got a new table table saw, a Dewalt no less!! I'm jealous!! Which model is it and where did you get it from? Great build again and I can't wait for your next build!! 🙂
Welcome back Barb! Good to hear from you! Haha, yes I'm messing around with some different approaches to editing, hope you like it :). And yes I've gotten a few new tools - the table saw is so much nicer than my last one. It saves a ton of time and if much more enjoyable to use. I have the DWE7491RS which I got on Amazon, but it's also sold at home improvement stores. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the other builds! If you didn't get a notification you probably have to hit the bell? Already, have a good one!
Hello. I think the arm rest piece should be one piece at the top. this is wrong. corners should be very sharp, a little soft. but the workmanship is nice and clean. good luck to you ...
Fabulous job!!! I love it! Would love to see you create a chair and a half or oversized farm house chair is what they’re called. They’re really pricey but some look pretty simple to create. 🛋☺️
So your sketchup file makes it pretty difficult to find the lengths of all the pieces. I figured out the lengths for the side components. However, what length are the seat support pieces and what are the approximate angles? Can you add a cut list in the description, by any chance? Thank you!
Hey Gina - unfortunately I dont have a cut list or drawings beyond the sketchup. I have only started adding some of those to my newer videos (they take a bunch of time). However, take a look at this video and it will show you how to pull dimensions from sketchup really easily: ua-cam.com/video/89SqAnNeH9g/v-deo.html However from a rough dimensions - the seat bottom pieces are about 15.5" on the long side, the back pieces are 13.25" on the long side, and the front and back horizontal supports of connecting the two legs units are 19.25". For the different angles - I think the best way to solve that problem is to do it more ad hoc, similar to how I did it on my most recent sofa build (but you can also pull that off the sketchup if you want to be exactly like mine. Here is the new sofa build: ua-cam.com/video/JvzaApS7a_8/v-deo.html - I focus on this specific problem around 4:50 mark. Hope this helps!
@@NATHANBUILDS Will do! I am doing it slightly differently because I'm just using regular pine 2x4s and instead of fence slats i'm using 1x6s. Seems like it will still work.
Hey Mr. Nathan, I’m hooked to your channel. I’ve been watching lately on my spare time. Also, how do you like your Hitachi miter saw? I’m looking to start buying some affordable tools for woodworking. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
It is definitely great bang for the buck. However if you can afford it, I regret not getting a sliding compound miter saw. That adds a decent chunk to the cost though. So for the price to value, I am really happy with what I have.
If you are getting a table saw, you can also make or buy a miter sled and then skip the dedicated miter saw. Depends on what you are planning on making though.
@@NATHANBUILDS Hey! Thanks for the quick reply. Thanks for the feedback, very helpful. That's another aspect to look into about the miter saw, sliding or not. I figured a sliding miter saw would come in really handy. Also, I'm thinking about getting my table saw first. I came across an affordable price for a Rigid R4518 ($349) & DeWalt DW745 ($369). I appreciate you Mr. Nathan, looking forward to the next project!
I have a very similar table saw from DeWalt and I'm really happy with it. I also have the Kreg KMS7102 mitre sled for it and that thing is a fantastic addition.
Hey! The file is for SketchUp software which you can download for free. It's essentially a CAD type program. It will not open on your phone. Unfortunately, I don't have PDF drawings for this project. I think I released pdf plans for a related sofa I made though ("falcon wing sofa"). You could just adjust the seat length. Hope this helps!
I'm using outdoor rated glue but I forget which one that was specifically. It's holding up great though. Check out a recent picture here: instagram.com/p/B-CzmeCD_vL/?igshid=l9bvhk0a1f4u
Hey - the only home improvement store around me (east coast US) that carries cedar is Lowe's. You can also get it at lumber yards, but that takes more milling and is typically more expensive.
Hmm, yeah it does not show the dimensions without you clicking on and seeing the dimensions on each piece. I really need to get better with the software so I can more easily create for lists for you all.
This is awesome! I will steal your design, if you don't mind. :) I might adapt it to make a 3 seater bench with a taller back support.

Thanks for the feedback Juliet! You are 100% right about being able to finish something in a day. Super satisfying 😁

@@NATHANBUILDS no problem. I would love to see the chair when you decide what to do.
Will do :)
Not sure what cedar fairy you get your wood so cheap from but Home Depot sells cedar 2x4x8's for over $15 each.
Lowes - but it is possible prices have gone up since there video.
Well now I know what I’m doing this weekend! Thanks for the great video!
Send me a finished picture if you are on Instagram. Good luck!!
Nathan Builds will do for sure!

Very nice project🤙.. Regards Nathan from a New follower from Perú
Thanks for watching Roy! I have always wanted to travel to Peru!
Ficou muito bom
Hi Nathan very nice.
You do it perfekt.
Do you have please Rough Plans for this Chair, like outdoor Cedar Coffee Tablet?
I only have the SketchUp drawing which is in the video description. Good luck!
Hello. I think the arm rest piece should be one piece at the top. this is wrong. corners should be very sharp, a little soft. but the workmanship is nice and clean. good luck to you ...
I actually thought about that, but didn't want the pocket holes to show, so I went this route.
Muito bonita a poltrona, belo trabalho 👍
Thanks for watching!!
Gooood...
I like
Tremendo trabajo te felicito maestro 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Can please repost the sketch up for this chair. I have tried to view it several times.
Send me an email and I'll just forward it to you
By chance did you keep track of the actual measurements of each piece of wood you used along with the angles?
There is a sketch up drawing you can pull that from in the video description if you are interested.
Nicely done for this chair! Would love to see a loveseat version.. do you think the hanging seat design would be sturdy too?
Would absolutely be strong enough. I was thinking of remaking my sofa in this style as well.
Fabulous job!!! I love it! Would love to see you create a chair and a half or oversized farm house chair is what they’re called. They’re really pricey but some look pretty simple to create. 🛋☺️
Thanks for the kind words! I'll look into the chair and a half :)

@@NATHANBUILDS Yes thank you so much for that. That should get me where I need to be. =) Really cool design.
Let me know how it goes and send a finished pic on Instagram if you are on there!!
@@NATHANBUILDS Will do! I am doing it slightly differently because I'm just using regular pine 2x4s and instead of fence slats i'm using 1x6s. Seems like it will still work.
Seems like in this design the weight of a person sitting is carried by the screws, not the wood.
The seat joint is also glued and I can confirm that it is still rock solid a year later.
Nice design ;)
Thanks for watching Einar!
Manda às medidas para mim
There only plans I have available are the SketchUp drawings: Sketchup plans: bit.ly/OutDoorCedarChairSketchup

nice chair I wasn't able to open your plans in win10
You need to download SketchUp for free and you should be able to open it. Let me know
@@NATHANBUILDS thanks

You can do most cuts with a table saw, so if it was me I would probably start there over just a miter saw.
I was wondering if you could post the sketches / sizes of the wood again?? I cant get them to download onto my phone for some reason...

@@NATHANBUILDS Thanks this helps alot! I appreciate your help!
Hi Nathan. Do you have measurement on each piece?
I have SketchUp drawing but no PDF plans: bit.ly/OutDoorCedarChairSketchup
How did the chair hold up? Is that tight bond 2. That isn’t outdoor rated is it?
I'm using outdoor rated glue but I forget which one that was specifically. It's holding up great though. Check out a recent picture here: instagram.com/p/B-CzmeCD_vL/?igshid=l9bvhk0a1f4u
I'm actually going to be doing a matching sofa soon.
great work ! do you have pdf plan?
Thanks! I think I at least included the sketchup drawing in the video description.
Hi I was just wondering what store/place did you buy your wood?
Hey - the only home improvement store around me (east coast US) that carries cedar is Lowe's. You can also get it at lumber yards, but that takes more milling and is typically more expensive.
I'm not able to view the plans. Can you send me the plans to build these
Hey Justin, please send me a message at Nathan.builds.inquiry@gmail.com
Hi. What if want it done using 1x4s?
Hey, you could but might need to strengthen up different pieces. If you use 1x for the seat slats too it's probably ok.
May i have the size of the chair.
Thanx
Hi! Check out the video description for the SketchUp drawings.
Could you share the measurements please
You can download the SketchUp file in the video description and that has all the dimensions. Thanks for watching!
Hey Nathan, I can't see the measurements, it's only showing the image for me, please help
Hey John, you mean in the SketchUp file? You will have to click in and see the pieces dimensions once you open the SketchUp.
Nathan Builds maybe because I’m using sketch up view but I’m only see the chair with no measurement
Hmm, yeah it does not show the dimensions without you clicking on and seeing the dimensions on each piece. I really need to get better with the software so I can more easily create for lists for you all.
Did you really just use Tapcons on wood?
I used Kreg pocket screws.
Ah you mean the slats, those are stainless wood screws.
@@NATHANBUILDS Ahh. I'm more used to working with concrete so I thought those were Tapcons, A typical concrete anchor.
Queria saber as medidas, não entendi nada 😂
I included the sketchup drawing in the description. You can pull dimensions from that!
