You’re welcome! I appreciate you letting me know that you used them!

Thanks!

Thanks! I appreciate that!

I appreciate the feedback. These chairs are a simplified design of several other sets of chairs I’ve built over the years. I’ve got kids, and we’ve never had any issues. They may not outlast traditional joinery, but they are a great start for folks new to woodworking and with minimal tools.

Definitely! If you end up making a set like that, you should share some pics on my “Handmade DIY Projects” Facebook page

I’m really not sure. I would say around 300-350

I definitely need a bench. I’m building a shop now for future projects, and I hope to have many great benches in there. Lol

That’s awesome! Happy to do it! Thanks!

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback!

Thank you!

Thank you! The color was kinda an accident, but it turned out pretty good.

Thank you! Yeah, it’s definitely handy for joining thicker wood. I was hoping I was the inventor of the idea. O well, I still like it. Yeah, the tape measure joke is something I just say sometimes to be funny. I like to state the obvious sometimes, no matter how dumb it is.

I have had issues in the past with 2x12s when I don't use any kind of bracing to keep it from warping. That is why I attached a 2x3 frame around the edges with long screws. If you use nails instead of screws and wood glue, they can still become separated, but I have used this method a few times, and I haven't had too many issues.

Thank you!

Great! I’m so glad to hear that!

For anyone else looking for the plans to build the matching table for these barstools, I do not have an instructable for this because I built it out of scrap material. Here is an instructable with a very similar design that could work as a matching table if you lengthen the legs to 41 inches and omit the cabinet portion.https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Build-a-Kitchen-Side-Table-With-Cabinets/

Thank you! Sometimes the simplest things are the best!

I feel bad for complaining about the cost when I bought them now.

That’s a great point! I’ll be sure to incorporate that next time.

Thank you! It’s nice to hear other people like a rustic look too.
