I LOVE the handle idea. Just brilliant! Well done!

[@gutierrezlawncare8059]

Those came out so great bro. I am currently in process of making a set as well. Thanks for the awesome video

[@richturck259]

Instead of the metal bracket, just use the pieces you cut off the sides of the seat at the beginning. One to make elevation blocks on either side of the back, and the and the other, sanded dowd in the center for clearance, to span those blocks. Fasten this bracket high enough on the back so that the bottom edges all line up when stored.

@@richturck259 that is a good idea and would cut back on the waist. Thank you.

[@JimTheDruid-db3ok]

FInding the CG for the handle was very thoughtful. 😍

[@Sgt_Ham1724]

Great idea with the handle and brackets! I’m going to add to mine. Thanks!

[@yamahaxt652]

I was thinking about wide hook and loop straps instead of the brackets. But I do like the kayak handle. Will be incorporating that into my builds. Thanks!

[@amtb70x7anunkwn9]

I had gone to the lumber yard and bought 10ft boards that measured over 12- 14 inches wide. Rough Cut. very green wood. The chairs came out super perfect. ( so perfect somebody stole them while i was off playing war with the army )

[@BogLife]

That’s terrible. Sorry to hear it.

[@johnhubbard6262]

Love it, I am in the process of building a pair for my son's Renfairs, but I never considered making them easier to transport. That Rocks!

[@BogLife]

I’ll be making one in a couple weeks that will be around 20 inches wide, so a little bigger, but still portable.

[@jwm7850]

Thank you for the video. Thoughtful design and presentation. Will be giving this a try.

Was looking for camp fire chair ideals and these are spot on….plastic ones keep getting replaced because they become brittle…the fold up chairs the fabric fails after a year or 2 stored out at site…these will work perfect and be cleaned up quickly with the coating when pulled from storage there…the fabric chairs are horrible about spider eggs…these once separated a good wipe off and they should be ready to use. Thank you!!!

[@BogLife]

Awesome!

[@neilhammons348]

Awesome job. I just made one from used lumber couple days ago they a cool chairs

[@hanumanji3472]

[@BogLife]

Estoy usando el traductor de Google, así que espero que se traduzca correctamente. Espero que le des una oportunidad a construirlo, ¡es muy divertido! ¡Gracias y buena suerte!

[@curbshooter]

great video! Plus you use Ryobi!

[@homesteadingwithsadie]

this is really cool chairs ,

[@user-xr1gb9bo1i]

Should put some holes to make it lighter to carry

[@BogLife]

This is a basic design and it was a Christmas gift. I’ll be doing another one in the future that will be wider and this exactly what I was thinking, good idea, because I’ll get heavy fast.

[@andresbotero5396]

tks!

[@user-cf1ep7je8h]

Love the handle idea. Im going to use it. But I could barely hear your voice over the music when you were applying the stain.

[@langwolfendaniel]

and instead to make a field table? Is there any feasible and philological model?

[@HeyStripes]

great chairs.... could you router in a handle instead of attaching one? less chance of a screw pulling out that way

[@BogLife]

Absolutely you can! I thought about do it that way! I still could, or when I make new ones I could give it a shot.

[@fishntools]

My new bait fishing chair!

[@SaintSpire]

That’s what she said 1:47

[@M.L.Knotts]

Great video but one suggestion turn down the music please... The music drowned out your voice way too much

Lovely chairs but no historical history at all for anything vikings.They just not viking age

[@BogLife]

The chairs have many names, like bog chair, plank chair, stargazer chair, camp chair, and Viking chair. Some of the information I found about the chair is that it is designed and categorized as “nomadic furniture”. It looks as if it is of African design, and according to one source didn’t come to Europe until the 19th century, growing in popularity in the early 20th century. As to where, and how it became associated with Vikings, I don’t know. But you’re right I can’t find anything to historically link them together.
