What happens here

Based on a detailed cutting plan (not shown in the video but essential for any DIY furniture project), cut the selected lumber into the specific lengths and shapes required for the chair's legs, armrests, seat support beams, and backrest slats. Utilize a miter saw for precise crosscuts and a table saw or circular saw for accurate rip cuts. Ensure all cuts are square and free of splintering for strong joinery. This preparatory step is crucial for the overall fit and stability of the chair.

Goal: Cut all lumber to exact dimensions for the chair's wooden frame.
