How convenient! This can disassemble and pack or easily store with the rest of my camping gear. Thank you for the video, I’m on it!

Amen to that! Hobbies can be some of the best therapy.

I have forgotten about these chairs.... I will put this is my list of things to make! Thanks for sharing!!!

I have spent many, many hours sitting in chairs identical to this one. I also have made many of them for myself and to give to friends. A long time ago there was a simple modification to the usual design which helped mitigate and then remove the unofficial name - "The Tipsy Chair". Back in the olden days those who sat around the fire in these chairs would have a tendency (for 'some' reason) to become unsteady resulting in often falling over on their side. Mud and wet were always a bad background there. The answer was a 3' long 2" x 3" (or 2" x 4") bolted with two bolts and wing nuts to the inside dirt edge of the backboard. Long or short, the 3 feet of lateral support instantly removed the word "Tipsy" from the name of the chair.

Good for those un-expected family gatherings outdoors, Easy to store and to setup. Like it.

You can always take a torch to the wood and burn or darken the grain even more before staining.

Greetings from North West Coast Canada. Our forests here are full of Red Cedar. I will try these chairs made of Ceder

Nice little chair to use while fishing next to a river bank or harbor bank. Add a soft cushion on the seat and some eye bolts/screws on the side edges to hang some accessories with carabiners.

Looks like a great chair for busking.

Nice looking chair this would be great for us while we are out prospecting and sitting around the campfire!

Hey, thanks for the video and plans! I used your plans to make one for myself this morning. The only thing I did different was use the table saw to cut the majority of the tenon, then finished off the last inch or so with the jigsaw. I‘m going to make more to go around the fire pit, but I‘ll probably make a router template for the cut-out square in the middle of the back board just to speed things up. My jigsaw is pretty horrible and that part took the longest. Thanks again for the inspiration!

That looks like a chair for for a campfire to me. It may take some time to get going but its better than trying to relax on it.

If I may make a suggestion. When applying stain or paint, brush across the grain the feather the finish with the grain. Applying across the grain helps with penetration & brushing out with the grain looks better because any brush marks look like part of the grain thereby disappearing. Cheers Keith.
