How To Build A Simple Modern Outdoor Chair
Making a Super Simple Modern Outdoor Chair at the Maker Ranch in Joshua Tree, CA.
Recently I took a trip out to Joshua Tree, California with my Podcast companion, Brad Rodriguez, to spend some time with the boys Ben Uyeda, and Mike Montgomery from the Modern Maker Podcast. They invited us out to hang out and build for the week, so we took them up on the offer. While there I figured, When in Rome do as the Modern Makers do. So i came up with this simple design for a Modern Outdoor Chair using some of the scraps leftover from Ben and Mikes recent builds. I gotta say, for a one day build, this piece turned out sharp, and was super easy to build.
Check out the full video to see how i did it, and get some tips on how to make something like this for yourself.
Not being on my home turf I had to make some minor adjustments to my typical work flow for this project. I used the Lincoln Electric Weld Pack 140 instead of my standard 210MP. I also welded Flux Core, instead of gas and solid core MIG wire. This is the SIMPLEST form of MIG welding you can do, no gas, no fuss. Just run and gun. I also was fortunate that Brad was there and brought some tools from RIDGID, especially the table saw and 9″ Grinder. I recommend both if you’re going to be tackling a project like this.
