Check out this step-by-step guide on how to make a hockey stick chair. You’ll need a few supplies and some patience, but the end result is worth it!

Introduction

Whether you’re a hockey fan or not, you have to admit that hockey sticks make great chairs. They’re strong, they’re durable, and they have a great natural curve that makes them comfortable to sit in. Best of all, they’re relatively easy to make. With a little time and effort, you can turn a few old Hockey Sticks into a great looking chair that will last for years.

Materials needed

To make a hockey stick chair, you will need:
-4 hockey sticks
-1 piece of plywood 24″ x 48″
-1 can of black spray paint
-1 can of clear polyurethane
-2 hinges
-2 screw eyes
-4 rubber bungee cords
-Tools needed:
-A drill
-A saw ( either a hand saw or a power saw)

Step-by-step guide

Ingredients:
-1 hockey stick
-1 piece of 4’x8’ plywood
-Jigsaw
-Sandpaper
-Staple gun
-Staples
-Paint or varnish (optional)

Instructions:
1. Start by cutting the plywood into two pieces using the jigsaw – you will need one piece that is 30” wide and one that is 22” wide.
2. Use the sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges on the wood.
3. Lay the 30” piece of wood flat on the ground and position the Hockey Stick so that it is perpendicular to the long edge of the wood, about 6” from one end. Staple the hockey stick in place using the staple gun and staples.
4. Repeat step 3 with the other end of the 30” piece of wood and the other Hockey Stick This will create the “seat” of your chair.
5. Next, take the smaller piece of plywood (the 22”x30”) and laid it flat on the ground. Position one of the short sides of this piece 6” from one end of the seat (the 30”x30” piece), so that you have a 6” overhang on each side. Staple in place using the staple gun and staples. This will create one “armrest” for your chair. Repeat on the other side.
6. Your chair is now complete! If you like, you can paint or varnish it to protect it from weathering or wear and tear.

Tips and tricks

Do you want to make a chair that is as unique as it is comfortable? Or maybe you are just a huge hockey fan and want to show your love for the sport in a fun and interesting way. Either way, you can create your own Hockey Stick chair with just a few simple supplies and a little bit of elbow grease.

Here are a few tips and tricks to get you started:

1. The first step is to find two Hockey sticks that are the same length. If you can’t find two sticks that are identical, don’t worry – you can always trim one down to size.

2. Once you have your sticks, it’s time to start assembling the frame of your chair. You will need four pieces of wood that are each two feet long Attach the sticks to the wood using screws or nails – whichever you prefer.

3. Now it’s time to add the seat of your chair. Cut a piece of plywood or canvas that is approximately two feet by four feet. Attach this piece of fabric to the frame of your chair using screws or nails.

4. Your chair is almost complete! All that’s left to do is add the backrest. Cut another piece of plywood or canvas that is two feet by two feet and attach it to the back of your chair frame.

5. That’s it! Your hockey stick chair is now complete and ready for use.

Finishing touches

After the paint and primer have dried, it’s time to add the finishing touches to your chair.

Adding padded cushions to the seat and back will make the chair more comfortable to sit in. You can find self-adhesive furniture felt at most hardware stores. Cut the felt to size and apply it to the seat and backrest.

If you want to add arm rests, cut two more pieces of 2x4 to 30 inches long. Attach these pieces to the front legs of the chair using screws and washers.

Now stand back and admire your handiwork! With a little bit of elbow grease, you’ve turned a few pieces of wood into a stylish and comfortable chair that will last for years.

Variations

There are many different ways to make a hockey stick chair. The most important thing is to make sure that the sticks are securely attached to the chair and that the chair is sturdy enough to support a person’s weight.

One way to make a Hockey Stick chair is to use two sticks for the legs and two sticks for the back. The sticks can be attached to the chair using zip ties, duct tape, or other strong materials. This type of chair is usually best for smaller people or children.

Another way to make a Hockey stick chair is to use four sticks, with two sticks crossing in the middle. This type of chair is more stable and can support more weight, but it can be more difficult to assemble.
