Building a Folding Chair

How to build a Folding Chair: Video



We designed a woodworking project for kids that would be simple and fun to build, not to mention, extremely useful. It’s a folding chair. This is a project that’s straight forward and doesn’t require much in material.

As with all of our projects, this folding chair is built using only hand tools. The main tools needed for this project are:

Hand Saw

Tape Measure

Brace and Bit (Hand Drill)

Hammer

After building this chair with my son I realized that this is a project that you’ll probably want to build right along with your kids. It’s so useful to take with you to the ballpark, fishing, camping, to the lake, etc. And it’s so light weight and compact that it stores easily in the truck of you car or in the corner of your garage.

Hey, just because we’re building a kids project doesn’t mean it has to be just for kids! If you want more information on woodworking with kids check out our book, “Woodshop 101 for Kids”.
