Plastic barrel chair

Today's instructions for making a surprisingly comfortable chair using just six small bolts, nuts, six drywall screws, hand tools and a 55-liter plastic barrel.

Materials:
• 1 PC. 55 liter plastic barrel
• 6 pcs. fixing screws with nuts and washers
• 6 pcs. drywall screws

Instruments:
• Electric saw
• Drill
• Heat gun (another fire)
• Welding gloves
• Ruler
• screwdriver
• Vacuum cleaner
• Laser engraver

We cut




Cut the barrel in half. Mark from the midline 35.5 cm. Down.

This 71 centimeter section will be removed with the next cut. We will use this part later for the frame.

Cut half of the plot and make two small cuts - we get the back of the chair. The seat and back of the chair are now visible.

Armrests




Since plastic can be melted well, you can modulate the details of the chair, for this it was good to have a heat gun, if not, it’s okay, you can use open fire. It is important to heat the plastic until it becomes pliable and easily bent.

The first bend is done in front of the chair, where small cuts were left. To do this, carefully heat the surface on both sides until it begins to “glow” and hold the piece, giving it the desired shape. Allow to cool. Repeat the same with the other side.

Let's get into the top. Again, heat, and as soon as the surface begins to bend, give the desired shape. Now drill holes and screw in the bolts on both sides to secure the armrests. Look at the photo and follow the specified scheme.

Let's take care of the basis





The first step is to trim the bottom of the barrel at an angle of 45 angles to create a beveled edge.

Lift the base and make two marks down at a distance of ~ 40.6 cm. Then make 2 holes and fasten with bolts.

We heat the seam, the high temperature will allow the seams to "spread" in a more natural form.

We supplement the seat







We take the remaining piece of plastic and cut out a circle from it, the size should correspond to the size of the seat - set in the right place.

Finish work



In fact, the chair is finished, but make sure all connections are tight. It is possible to glue parts with epoxy resin.

In the end

According to the technique described in this instruction, you can experiment with absolutely any plastic things.

As you can see, this is all you need to create your own comfortable chair from a 55-liter barrel.
