In order to determine the most comfortable dimensions of the products, you should measure the distance from the floor surface to the bottom of the countertop. The gap between the surface of the table and the seat should be from 30 to 35 cm. For work, you will need a screwdriver and a jigsaw, as well as a plane, a tape measure, a hammer and a carpentry corner. Take care of the presence of self-tapping screws and sandpaper. The products will be based on a square bar with a side of 50 millimeters. It will also take an array from which the tsars are to be made. The thickness of the latter should be equivalent to 25-30 millimeters.
Additional preparation guidelines
When choosing wood, you should pay attention to pine, birch or beech. 360 millimeters will act as the optimal diameter of the array for the manufacture of the chair. In order for the products to have a finished look, they can be varnished or stained. For work, you need brushes, stain and solvent.
Manufacturing technology
If bar stools are to be made with your own hands, then using a jigsaw from an array, you should prepare a circle whose diameter should be 360 ββmm. This element will be the top of the bar stool. The workpiece must be processed with a grinder, and along the edge get rid of the chamfer. A circle of less impressive diameter, which will be 260 millimeters, should be prepared for attaching the legs. If bar stools are made with their own hands, then the seat can be square, in this case the tsar will be used. An alternative solution will be technology that involves the fusion of several planks with a width of 120 millimeters or more. After the preforms are glued, they should be joined and fixed with clamps, leaving in this state until dry. If bar stools are made with your own hands, then you can use furniture glue for gluing.
Features of the work

After the height of the bar stool has been selected, and you have completed all of the above work, you can proceed to the manufacture of legs. For this, a square beam with a side of 50 millimeters is used. At this stage, an electric planer is used, with the help of it, the element should be cut along the entire length with a slight slope. It is necessary to achieve such an effect that the cross section of the legs in the lower part is 2.5x2.5 cm. As for the upper part, which will be fixed to the seat, it should be as thick as possible. For the product, four legs will be necessary, they are additionally fixed to the structure and act as a support bar for the legs of the seated person. If you are going to make a white bar stool, then in the process you can use the technology described in the article, and at the final stage prepare the paint of the corresponding shade. The next step will be the manipulation of a square beam with a side of 2.5 cm. This element should be sheared, and then sawed in the end parts of the spike. Having retreated from the floor about 30 cm, in the legs it is necessary to hollow out the nest, which is necessary for the spike. Prepared early cuttings need to be installed in the nests using glue. The whole structure is reinforced with twine.
Assembly of the chair
Making a high bar stool, at the next stage it is necessary to carry out assembly, excluding occurrence of gaps and crevices. After all the parts have been sized, the chair should first be assembled dry, and only after you have verified that the design is perfect can you use glue to carry out such work. Today on sale you can even find folding bar stools, however, it should be borne in mind that they are able to take on less significant weight. The sharp corners of the spikes must be rounded. To fix the legs in the mounting surface, you need to drill two holes for dowels, the diameter of which can be equal to 8 millimeters. The mounting plate is put on the dowels as tight as possible. The legs can be strengthened additionally with the help of steel angles mounted on screws.
Final work
If you decide to make folding bar stools yourself, then the legs should not be fixed by hard mounting, but with the help of special furniture canopies. However, an emphasis should be provided on the base of the seat. This will eliminate the folding of the structure during operation. Do not fix everything only mechanically or with glue. A façade seat should be installed on top of the mounting plate. It must be fixed with screws installed on the back. The height of the bar stool will depend only on your preferences and the dimensions of the available table.
