ASSEMBLE
Assembling the chair is relatively intuitive, and
the sequence of assembly can happen in a vari-
ety of ways.
Prior to assembly, consult “How to Drill” on
page 206 (for tips on how to fasten and drill)
and gather all of your tools (drill, blue tape,
screwdriver) and hardware. Lay all the parts
out, so they are within easy reach. Protect your
work surface, as well as all parts, during this
process.
It’s easiest to start assembling a chair on its
side (Figure 10-10), on a large workbench, or on
the floor. When predrilling holes (see “How to
Drill” on page 206), rotate the chair to ensure
01: Piece the entire chair together, using blue
painter’s tape to secure the parts. Ensure that
all the parts are square.
02: Working around the chair, predrill the holes
for fasteners. Start with the legs and work
upward toward the seat back.
03: Screw in the fasteners. Start by securing
the legs to each other first and then work up
toward the seat and back.
04: Turn the chair upside down to predrill and
fasten all four feet (Figure 10-11).
05: Turn your chair upright.
06: Take a seat, and enjoy!
