Amazing idea! I'll take this chair to my next camp.

Finally real wood worker with real tools and skill to match! Thx

WOW! I haven't seen that type of measuring device since I was a child, my daddy had one use to love to play w/that

Really great idea! I am going to make a couple for my next camping trip!

Rough work and anyone can do this project. That's right in my wheelhouse. Thanks for the videos!

Great Chair for using with a travel trailer too as you usually have plenty of flat storage space eithe under interior furniture or exterior storage compartments a nice thing about this build is you can still stack other items on top of the disassembled chairs without worrying about damages

Who the heck did u learn your tool usages from? I learned alot of new ways. Nice chair!

I built mine jigsaw speed square and a 3/8 drill

Thx for the video. I have recently seen this chair in another video. The question I have is how hard is it to get up and down if your knees are not in the best shape? Have you experimented with the location of the mortise to change the height to allow easier access for mobility? Thx

Which is the length of each piece of board?

I've seen this type of Viking chair a lot on KZread, And I ask, wouldn't a notch cut out of each piece and then notches placed together give the same strength as this style ? Because if so, doing 2 cuts at same time with a saw would make this a lot faster made. Then really only a saw (powered or not) and a jigsaw (or chisel) would be needed to make it in about 5 mins (little more if staining).

You sure are getting pretty precise for a project that you said didn't need to be precise. Wouldn't it be easier to just drill the four corners of the mortise area and just cut it out with a jigsaw?

This method reduces the strenght of one of the boards by 2/3. Seems to me if you did an identical cut from opposites sides, halfway across both boards yoiu would retain equal strength in both boards.

Regarding safety I was adding a small office in my church, just stud walls and sheet rock for someone else to fling mud and paint. My pastor happened by and asked why I was using a handsaw. It was a Japanese pull saw and I was using because it kept my tool box light and I like it. I t's quiet. My reply was that it was a safety issue as no one keeps sawing after the teeth hit their fingers. A moment after he had gone I managed to catch a finger with one pull of the saw. At least the cut was fairly clean and I quit cutting as soon as it registered.😒

You should sell these to Minnesota Vikings fans. Their chairs will collapse just like their team has for 54 years in a row.

At 6:21 you said that you always go a hair past the mortice. I would argue that you've gone at least 2 hairs past the mortice. But hey, lets not split hairs, ok? Just sayin'.

Why not just drill 4 holes on the corners and use a jig saw instead of useing a chizel. Your a wood worker with all the tools in your shop. Yep, you have great chizel skills...
