The 2×4 chair was purposefully designed very solid and heavy. At the same time this became a downside for places that ask for a little more elegance. Enter: The skinny version of the 2×4 chair all made out of 1×4′s. It is light weight and strong!
One extra board at the bottom prevents it from flexing and keeps it light. I also played around with the angle of the back which is now simply 30 degrees and easier to cut on the miter saw. This chair only has 4 boards on the back spaced out 1/8″ which makes the chair feel lighter.
This small chair lends itself perfectly for small spaces such as a balcony.
Plan will follow later this year.
And BTW, Yes these are also for sale. Contact me for details.
