Naomi,

We all have to start somewhere! 🙂 I hope you take the plunge someday soon. A great place to start is a jigsaw. They’re use friendly, and very versatile for most sawing tasks.

I’m wondering what short pieces of wood you could pick up at home depot? Maybe some garden stakes?

I’m not a big fan of yellow or red either. Turquoise sounds great!

Thanks Bonnie!
my friend said she liked them in the pictures, but when I asked her if she saw them in my booth she said she didn’t care for them because you can’t SIT on them. lol go figure!

These turned out beautiful. I can’t decide which one I love best. Great vision redo.

I just love the garden chairs! It’s hard to pick a favorite! But I do prefer the darker stained pallet boards. I would put this on my little “patio” that is outside my garage door. I currently have a white cast iron chair there with potted plants. These chairs would look great there as well. Now…off to find an old ladderback chair!

Well, Gail, red is not my color so I’d have to choose the yellow chair, but I’m not a great fan of yellow, either! Sooo..ooo—I do like the idea, though. If I were doing one I would probably use turquoise or a shade of green. But, I don’t use power tools (yet…maybe someday!) so I probably won’t do a chair make-over like yours any time soon. But, you never know, I might figure out how to come up with a version that is a bit simpler than yours in terms of carpentry! We’ll see… As always, thanks for sharing your project; I always love seeing the ideas you come up with!

I like the dark stain, but after the pallet boards weather (red chair) they will be a pretty gray. 🙂

In reply to Lizzy.

Lizzy,

The pallet wood will stand up for years. As for the chair, because of the way it’s made, water won’t “stand” on it, so the only real problem would be the legs (feet) rotting from resting in the dirt.
