{{ {{tntn|Introduction}}
|Introduction=I was able to make 2 chairs out of a single 4’ by 8’ sheet of plywood. The chairs I built with ¼" thick plywood are strong, but over time the holes could wear through, so I'd recommend using ½" thick plywood. Feel free to do some experimenting with the design of the chair and share your results.

{{ {{tntn|Materials}}
|Material='''4'x 8' Sheet of 1/2” Thick Plywood'''. There are a lot of different types of plywood. I used ¼” plywood which is strong enough to hold my weight but might not stand the test of time. 3/8” or ½” thick plywood would provide superior durability.

'''Zip Ties'''
Zip ties – also called cable ties or tie wraps – come in a variety of different sizes. I tried both large 10” ties and thinner 4” ties. The thinner ties are much easier to work with.
|Tools=* Cordless Drill
* Circular Saw
* Diagonal Pliers
* Long Nose Pliers

|Step_Title=Cut the pieces
|Step_Content=I used my Circular Saw with a plywood blade to make the cuts. The laser guide makes it really easy to follow the lines. If you don’t have a laser then clamp a guide to the plywood.

|Step_Content=I measured a line 1/2” from the edges and marked an X every 1" inch down the line to indicate drill marks.

|Step_Title=Drill the holes
|Step_Content=I clamped 2 to 3 boards together to drill the holes on multiple pieces at the same time.

|Step_Title=Loosely stitch the boards together
|Step_Content=I zipped a series of loops into the drilled holes in the first piece. Then I strung zip ties through the holes in the second piece and the zip tie loops in the first piece. This creates a zip tie to zip tie connection/link. Keep the links loose for now.

|Step_Title=Shape and tighten
|Step_Content=Shaping and tightening the zip ties is an incremental process that requires a bit of patience. The good news is that you can always cut and redo zip ties if you make a mistake. Use long nose pliers to tighten the ties and diagonal pliers to cut the long ends.

|Step_Title=Add supports (Method A)
|Step_Content=I used giant, 3 foot zip ties to make tension supports for the chair. Simply drilling two holes through the plywood and using a box cutter to carve out the area between the holes, I was able to create a rectangular hole large enough to strap part of the zip tie through. I then cut the head off of a second tie to cap the other end. I used the same method to make vertical supports that keep the back from reclining too far.

|Step_Title=Add supports (Method B)
|Step_Content=For the second chair, I cut some scrap plywood into supports and zip tied them to both the leg and back pieces of the chair.
