How To Make A Viking/StarGazing/Campfire Chair: No Hardware Required 

That cat is just crazy. 😁 -Scotty

@@SL_BA 😂🤣 well it made me laugh

Thank you so much! We get so many compliments on these chairs. We put them out at every campground whether we use them or not 😀

Good job too Malinda on the burn ins

They were very comfortable but there wasn't much of a night sky while we were in Arizona. It was just too cloudy.

They are so heavy! Ours have gotten a little lighter with time. Lol We lug them around though...they are great conversation starters. I think that is a great idea to take out some of the board. Do you think a wood router would be a good tool for the job? I have never used one, but I am sure Scotty has one around here somewhere. Lol Just cut out big sections like you would a cabinet door?

@@SL_BA I dont think a router bit would be long enough because the board is 1 1/2' deep...thats asking a lot from a router. Im just going to make 20" or so slots (maybe 4 of them) and use a 1-1 1/2" Forsner bit at either end then use a jig saw to carefully cut the sides of the slots out, not that it will cut a lot of weight but also gives you a carry handle for the back which is the heaviest part.

Ive also found that if you cut out the bottom of the back where it hits the ground in a semi circle (leaving a 1-2" foot on either side) it will be better on the rough, uneven ground.
