The weather is getting cooler and this makes the perfect chair to bring with you hiking, camping, or fishing! It’s lightweight and looks really cool. Way better than those canvas ones. My favorite part about this project is that you can make it in only a couple of hours!

Really glad to see the old style WWMM kind of video. I think you're the only utube woodworking creator that has stuck with your original focus of simple fun projects you don't need a loan to pay for or a master cabinet makers shop and skills to complete. Thank you.

@edgarortiz9578 5 років тому

I'm goin to try and do this campfire seat. If at first you don't succeed at least you'll have fire wood.

@rishimakhanlal8905 2 роки тому

Dude... You read my mind 😂

@TheCHRISCaPWN 5 років тому

Great timing! I built one of these in woodworking class about 23 years ago. I used that one to model a new one about a month ago, but I didn't have any plans (and didn't think to make any). Now I'd like to build a few more, so this is perfect! Thanks!

@slee931 5 років тому

looked all over youtube. this is the best and most compact one! ty so much for making your plans free!

@landlash 5 років тому

This stool just blow my mind, love it, gotta have it. Wow free plans in pdf and sketchup, thank you good Sir.

@cykurtz7529 5 років тому

Downloaded this a few weeks ago and finally put it together today. First try was a disaster but I watched the video again and things went much better. finished product works great but looks terrible, so I'll be trying this again. The plans are great and the video is great. If your first attempt at this doesn't go well, stick with it. Rebuild it or build another one. I hope to make more of these and hopefully get better at it. Thanks, Steve!

Beautiful project!

I made a larger version as a camping table in high school about 18 years ago that my parents still use to this day.

@droy333 5 років тому

Also made a larger one in high school. NSW, 'straya.

@joshleape6338 5 років тому

That’s a pretty cool idea!

@ericbartha6313 5 років тому

I made the same thing my freshman year! My parents still use the table as well. :)

@2112solas 5 років тому

I was thinking of scaling this up to a table too -what dimension lumber should I use for the legs?

@lexboegen 5 років тому

I have a very similar design made in plastic that I picked up years ago and use as a portable table for my laptop. I am a network engineer and frequently need to use my laptop to connect to network routers, switches, etc in network closets. I was thinking about copying it in wood for use as a stool, but I think your design is a little more sturdy. I'll "embiggen" the dimensions slightly and make two, one for a chair and one for a table. Great video Steve.

@jonwills4670 5 років тому

Thank you for sharing your plans! I can’t wait to make a set of these!!

@randolphscudder2372 5 років тому

One of my favorite projects I've been making these for several years now. I sell them at craft shows and flea markets some doll collectors use them as display stands for their dolls. I occasionally will add some carving on the seat using a router.

@ritamcv 2 роки тому

Hi Randolph. Just wondering how much you sell these little stools for? Thx.

@magicrobharv 5 років тому

That's a great design! You could change it very little and turn this into a fold-up table. Great video Steve!

@lukedogwalker 5 років тому

Now that's a thought...

@naturesmusings6795 5 років тому

This is a great project. My first one finished today. I used scrap wood that I had left over from previous projects. I definitely plan on making more. Thanks so much Steve for sharing this with us.

@tonyioannoni4951 5 років тому

I can see a pair of those in my car trunk, with the pair of fishing rods, and they make a great pair of compact seats you can use when you stop fishing anywhere...nice!

@jacobgraff4667 5 років тому

I’m always happy to see a new video from this channel. Keep up the good work Steve!

@ahugs8843 5 років тому

Cool project, I had plastic tables of this design and used them as a model to make wooden versions of the table with. nice to have plans for this, thanks Steve!

@curtisandtaylor 4 роки тому

Built this chair this past weekend. Had some trouble with the dowels being smaller than advertised, but some glue on one half of the joint did wonders. Love the chair and I’m not a small guy and it holds me just fine. I’d like to thank Steve for making these videos. I enjoy watching you make things and explaining all the “stupid” questions some of us may have. Keep doing what your doing for all us weekend builders who just want to make something occasionally. I, for one, greatly appreciate it!

@xbellows436 4 дні тому

What dimensions did u use for the 12 pieces ? I don’t remember him saying what the 4 measurements were

@Xman11ish 5 років тому

I'm so happy your videos are again as they used to be: THE BEST. I recently started to miss the old awesome Steve/videos, it just seemed it wasn't you, but on this vid I can see the original Steve is back! :) This is the Steve that I missed. I hope I've explained myself cos English isn't my first language. Love ya.

@michaelharalambos4970 5 років тому

@PabloxDPablo 2 роки тому

Thanks for the plans! 👍

@ericbartha6313 5 років тому

Do you think adding paste wax to the dowels/holes prior to assembly would help everything move, or was it already smooth enough?

@dannydodge7191 5 років тому

thank you Steve. I can use a seat like this for my job.

@danielpaquette1597 4 роки тому

Very nice project! I could not keep from customizing it some, but it still worked! The plans were helpful.

@sickboy123uk 5 років тому

@turboks1 5 років тому

Great video and great project! The third page of the instruction pdf had me caught in a trap though as in that configuration it is not possible to get it back to the final configuration. Got around it in the end! Thanks for the plans!

@JeffSolenberg 5 років тому

I enjoy your segments with Wyatt. It's obvious you guys have a great relationship. Clearly, you're a great dad Steve. Oh, and the seat is cool too. :D

Looks like a nice project for tomorrow or Monday. As I have knee issues, I may adjust some of the measurements for that. Looks like a fun quick build.

I love the design , anything to note to scale up to a larger size? because I am not so young and limber, great video thumbs up.

@baroudinabil7826 5 років тому

Thanks for the video and information

@woodsprout 5 років тому

Great folding seat! Make sure your dowel is a snug fit, but not so tight it splits the wood. Also, the closer to quarter-sawn the wood grain is, (end-grain crossing the thickness of the 1 x 2s) the more resistant to splitting this project will be.
