4. Now assemble the whole structure from the legs.
5. Attach the two remaining upper rails and install the two lower ones that act as pedestals for your feet.
6. On top with self-tapping screws, fit your seat.

How to make a concave seat by yourself?

This method is not the easiest, and to make a recess in the seat, you must be patient, but the result is worth all the pain.

Work is carried out in several stages:

1. Using a manual hacksaw, make several cuts of various depths in the board. The closer to the center, the deeper the slits. Well, at the very edges of the construction, respectively, make the cuts smaller.
2. Take the chisel and the hammer, and with respect to the cuts done, cut the groove.
3. The final step is the grinding of the seat, then it is simply attached to the legs.
4. After completing the assembly process, do not forget to cover the whole structure with

varnish. To produce independently quality bar furniture is easy enough if you initially make the right design, choose a quality material, and have all the necessary tools at hand. Observing these rules, the products end up being no worse than those manufactured in factories.
