I Build $3,000 Pottery Barn Outdoor Chairs For $168

What happens here

Finish the chair assembly by attaching the armrest/front leg assemblies to the main chair structure. Apply wood glue to the joints and use pocket hole screws to secure them. Use clamps to ensure perfect alignment. Specifically, attach the armrests to the backrest uprights and the front legs to the seat base. Check for 90-degree angles where necessary. The creator then highlights the low cost of the lumber ($41.25) for one chair and expresses satisfaction with its comfort and appearance.

Goal: Complete the chair's structural assembly

Tools and materials

  • Clamps — Holding pieces in alignment
  • Cordless Drill RYOBI — Driving pocket hole screws
  • Pocket Hole Screws — Securing joints
  • Speed Square — Checking for squareness
  • Wood Glue Titebond — Reinforcing joints

What they say

Hide

big old pile lumber is quickly decreasing. We only have about three more pieces to install here. To install the legs, the easiest way I've kind of figured out is get any scrap piece of wood, pick up until we hit that little bevel that we cut in the back part of the legs, shove it until it's there, and then grab not one but two of your clamps. And again, this method is to make sure that we have the least exposed screws. So then we're going to grab our square, set that there. I like to align this surface with the bottom edge of that piece so nothing is protruding. I'll show you why this is important in a bit. That there. Get our straight edge. Make sure we have a a 90° so it's not beveling out one way or another. Then we're going to take our clamp. Looks about right. Throw a little wood glue in here. Do the same on the other side. And then we're going to flip this over and secure this part from the back of this little side rail. And lastly, the finishing touch, the front apron here. Cut an angle on it. 30°, 45, doesn't really matter. It's not going to match anything. But what you're going to do is you're going to get it under here. Got a couple of pocket holes. We're going to put a couple of countersink screws in here so you won't see them. We'll fill them in. And then we'll pocket hole on the sides and we'll secure that so you won't see those either. [Music] All right, we are looking at Oh, that's nice. $41.25 25 cents of lumber to make this gorgeous and extremely comfortable outdoor patio chair. Now, yes, we're under 50 bucks, but we still have some detail finishing touches to make it look like it did on the pictures of the Pottery Barn stuff. So,
