1. Cut out the base
2. Cut out the arms
3. Curve the arms
4. Cut an angle for the recline
5. Pre-drill screw holes
6. Cut the backboard
7. Attach the backboard
8. Make a cross bench
9. Create the legs
STEP 5: PRE-DRILL SCREW HOLES
STEP 9: CREATE THE LEGS
To attach the arms, you’ll need a
Ryobi 18V ONE+ drill driver. Pre-drill
4mm holes in the base 50mm from the
edges. Space the holes about 100mm
apart. Screw the sides into the base.
Measure and cut four legs about
300mm long, cutting each end on
a parallel 45-degree angle. Check
they’re equal so your chair won’t
wobble. Pre-drill holes in the tops
of the legs, then screw them into
the cross bench ends using 8G
x 40mm stainless steel decking
screws. Make sure they’re flush. Turn
the chair over and screw the cross
bench with legs onto the base
STEP 6: CUT THE BACKBOARD
Lay the structure on its edge over
the remaining piece of project
panel and trace its outline. This will
ensure the backboard has the right
dimensions. Use your Ryobi circular
saw to cut along the lines, then
check the backboard fits flush.
STEP 7: ATTACH THE BACKBOARD
Next, pre-drill 4mm holes (about
100mm apart) into the backboard,
then screw it into place.
STEP 8: MAKE A CROSS BENCH
You’ll need a weight-distributing ‘cross
bench’ that attaches to the chair legs
and base. With the Ryobi 18V ONE+
184mm Mitre Saw, cut two panels slightly
shorter than the length of the base, then
cut a 45-degree angle on all ends. Cut
another two pieces to 400mm, then
screw them to the longer pieces to
make the rectangular cross bench.
STEP 10: BRING IT ALL TOGETHER
Flip the finished chair back over,
add comfy cushions, choose
a scenic spot and sit back to
enjoy your masterpiece!
