This bar stools have a rustic appearance and there are super easy to build. Take a look over these instructions and make adjustments if you want to get a professional result.

How to build an adirondack bar stool

Seat-supports

Seat-supports

The first step of the project is to build the seat supports from 1×4 lumber. Mark the cut lines on the slats and then get the job done with a circular saw. Use sandpaper to smooth the edges.

Fitting the seat slats

Fitting the seat slats

Next, you need to attach the 1×2 slats to the seat supports. You can adjust the size of the seat to suit your needs. Moreover, round the edges of the slats with a router before fitting them to the supports, for extra character. Drill pilot holes at both ends of the slats and insert 1 1/4″ screws to lock them into place tightly. Countersink the head of the screws for a professional result.

Building the front legs

Building the front legs

Continue the project by cutting the front legs for the bar height adirondack stools. As you can easily see in the diagram, you just need to make 5 degree cuts to both ends of the 1×3 slats. Smooth the edges with sandpaper.

Back-legs

Back-legs

Build the back legs for the adironack bar stools in the same manner described above. However, you need to make some additional cuts to the legs, so you can fit them into place tightly.

Fitting the legs

Fit the legs to the seat of the adirondack chair, as shown in the diagram. Drill pilot holes and insert 1 1/4″ screws to lock the legs to the seat of the chair. Add glue to the joints and align the edges.

Backrest-supports

Backrest-supports

Fit the 2×2 support to the back of the bar stool. Moreover, fit the 1×2 slat to the top of the backrest slats, so you can secure them into place tightly. Drill pilot holes and insert 1 1/4″ screws to secure the backrest together tightly.

Backrest slats

Fit a piece of 1/4″ plywood between the slats, so you can create even gaps. You can even round the top of the backrests, for an unique design.

Bottom supports

Fit the 1×3 supports to the base of the legs. Align the slats to the back legs, drill pilot holes and insert 1 1/4″ screws to lock them into place tightly.

Fitting the bottom braces

Last but not least, you need to take care of the finishing touches. Fill the holes with wood putty and then smooth the surface with 120-220 grit sandpaper. Apply a few coats of paint or stain over the components, to protect the wood from the lumber and to enhance the look of the chair.

On “fitting the legs”, how far apart are the front and back legs at the base? It looks like you’d attach the rear legs first, which sets the angle of the seat, and the front legs after.

Double checking … (measure twice, etc.)

I am wondering if you or anyone has made this with using 2×4 for the legs. What changes were required?
