bench made of chairs

Carpenter Ryan McPhail took 3 worn, secondhand chairs, which he bought for 18 bucks a piece, and turned them into one clever bench. The seats of the chairs were broken, so this reincarnation seemed the perfect solution! To make one of your own, you’ll to gather the following:

  • three forlorn wood chairs
  • a screwdriver
  • drill and bits
  • a plank, for the new seat
  • some wood glue
  • tape measure
  • pencil
  • table saw
  • stain or paint of your choosing
