New life for Old Poang!

Materials: Poang Chair, Fence boards, drywall screws

Description: Poang... That iconic chair from IKEA, what do I do when I see one on the side of the road that obviously has seen better days?

I throw it in the truck!!! I was looking at the frame and thought... I bet that could make a cool piece of patio furniture. So some light sanding, and cutting, and some cedar fence boards, Just cut the lumber to the desired width, and one by one screw them in with drywall screws. And voila a Poang Patio chair!!! Now to decide if I paint it or stain it...

Poang Armrest Extension

Materials: Poang, timber, Fret G clamps, chisel, timber stain

Description: I'm too lazy to hold my iPad :)

It's basically a simple extension of Poang. Handy for the iPad, drinks, writing, etc. And I reckon it's simple enough for everyone to make.

The most challenging part was to make the top flush, I chiselled two trenches for the G-clamps. Then painted the wood with polyurethane based oil stain.

Enjoy!

PS: The iPad beanbag thingy is Belkin ViewLounge (optional).
