Now that you have the wood cut you will want to continue on and glue the wood together for your front seat supports.

Take one 16 7/8″ seat support and the two mitered blocks and glue and clamp them together to resemble the front seat support shown in pictures two and three below. This will create a board that is 3″ wide at the ends and 1 1/2″ wide in the midst, and allows room for the seat to sag when you sit in the chair.

Optional: I used the 3/8″ round nose bit to route a trough in the outside edges of the long boards in which the paracord can reside and be protected from abrasion… and I think it has a more appealing “finished” appearance, but this is not required.

Optional: You can round the ends of your long boards on the disc sander for a more finished look.

Next, route the long edges of all of your boards with the 1/4″ round over bit. If you want to duplicate the front edge detail that I used on my seat frame (see picture 5 below), you'll need to reserve some of the routing until after the frame is assembled.

This is just the start of the instructions. To find out more about how to build your own paracord chairs check out our friends over at Instructables for more information.
