This weekend I was hoping to complete the chair project, but I only could spend a couple of hours on the project. I tried to stick to the first sketch of the chair I was thinking about and made this :
The good news is that to make this chair you just need a table saw or a jig saw, they both great for it, a drill / screwdriver, tape measurement and a pencil.
I will continue to work on the chair as soon as possible, worse case scenario, it will be this week end, but I might be lucky and find some time during the week.
I will try to give a step by step description of the making process.
I just need to finish the back seat, it should not take more than 30min. My only question is, where should I stop filling the back seat? All the way through or low enough to be confortable to seat on? I might go for the second option.
Should I finish the seat using wood stainer and give an ironic rich look to this almost free chair, or stay basic and leave it this way?
If you have any idea or advice, just drop me a comment!

A chair made from a pallet (2/4)
I have to step back from my ambitious design in the previous post. In a first time, my goal will be to make a functional and stable chair but I will also try to add a modest touch of style. It's not because the wood come from a pallet that I should stick with the rustic look I have seen most of the time.
I think I know how the profile will be, but still hesitating between these two.
I think I might have some time to start this project this week end and luckily I will have some pictures on monday to show if there's any progress. Now I have the pressure, because most of the time, when I talk about a project, it's because i'm just thinking about it or it's finished... this one has just started.
