Step 2: Cutting the Pieces

First cut all the pieces using a table saw.
Four pieces are going to have to be cut under 45 degrees. These will be the chairs legs.

Step 3: Installing the Chair

For installing all the pieces together you need a glue and a drill. First mark the points for the screws then confirm the screws using a drill. To improve the glues effect cut the stripes to the places you want to glue using a paper knife.

Step 4:

Sand all the surfaces. You do not necessary need a sander for that, a regular sand paper will do the job too.

Step 5: Finishing

Cover all the surfaces with the water proof polisher. This is very important if you want your chair last longer than one season. Let it dry.

Step 6:

You may use a wood plate for the sitting place but you could also braid it. For that you will need an elastic band. Watch the video to see the exact technique.
