Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today is how to build Jerry
style chairs (Jerry dining chairs), now I've got eight of these to build today
and these are a really nice modern looking chair and super comfortable as well and I'll
take you through all the steps you need to build one of these classic looking chairs,
and then at the end we'll have a lovely cup of tea! Right we best get cracking. For each chair
that you get you will get a cushion the actual chair and the backing the legs and then a small
pack of nuts and washers and the cross-shaped support and you should get that for each chair
that you get so make sure you've got all those and I'll take you through those bolts in a second
let's just start unwrapping be careful with your scissors when you're cutting open the bubble wrap
Whilst I'm doing that there's a link above now
about how to clean your uPVC guttering so it stays clean
that is the chair
and the cushion part the round circle bit goes at the back of the chair
let's just unwrap the legs good thing about these chairs are the legs
are really sturdy you do get some felt underneath the legs but we found with
this felt that it does actually wear off over time especially if you've got a tiled floor
so that is the legs there and they just slot
into each other ready to be bolted on later on in the video
now let's just unpack the parts that you need which is the cross shape
and then the bolts the washers and the allen key
you've got two small bolts one medium size and four long bolts and obviously all the washers
take the two small bolts first and you're placing the cushion
onto the back of the chair with the circle part at the back so it lines up
now with these two smaller bolts you don't use washers on these ones and what you need
to do is you need to line up where that cushion goes with this hole here you can just see it
through there so get one of the bolts in first always just try and do it with your hand first
just so you don't cross thread it once it feels like it's biting then you can take your
allen key and tighten it up now you might find that it doesn't actually stretch and it doesn't
seem long enough so a TOP TIP here is your hand on the other side if you push the cushion in that
just brings it a little bit closer to the bolt and that allows you to bolt it on now don't go crazy
and tighten up that one bolt super tight just do it half tight and then get the other one in
once the other one's in and it's biting the thread you can then tighten both of those up fully tight
use the small end of the allen key first that's makes it quicker to tighten it up
just going to rest it on my knee here so i can push it forward just makes it easier
then use the longer part of the allen key to get more leverage
whilst I'm doing that there's a link above now about what to do
if your curtains are sticking on the curtain rails that's a really top tip
fabulous right that's those two medium bolts all nicely tightened up
so the cushion's all in place nice and sturdy
and the next part is the legs these literally just slot together like this
then you're turning it upside down
and you're taking your medium sized bolt
put the washer onto the bolt push it through so this is underneath the chair
again just do it with your fingers first make sure it catches the thread because you don't want to
cross thread it once it feels like it's going in then take your allen key and tighten it up
to get it super tight again use the long part of the allen key just for that extra leverage
fantastic nice and sturdy
now what we need to do is put the cross support in which is a metal cross support
take your four long bolts make sure that the washers are on each of these
now we're ready to install the cross support
I'm just going to put the chair on my knee just so again I can push it and these are
the four bolts which are going to be going into these positions here what you're doing
is you're lining up those holes on the legs with those holes on the underside of the chair
get one bolt in first again just using your fingers now again as with the earlier bolts
it might not seem that this bolt is actually long enough so another top tip
is push the chair underneath with your knee that just brings the chair slightly closer to that bolt
and then it should actually reach that thread and you can start tightening up
Whilst I'm doing that there's a link above now about how to
check your car or van battery using a Multimeter.
now if you still can't reach it you can
turn it the right way up so it's actually sitting on the floor
and then put a bit of weight on it I wouldn't recommend sitting on it
because you haven't got all the bolts in yet but push it down with your hand
that just brings it slightly closer to that bolt
don't go mad with this once it's taken a bite on the thread just tighten it up
a little bit and make sure you get those other three bolts in first before we start
going around and tightening them all up for the end so look down that hole and then line it up
with the bolt push the bolt through
if you can see if it's all lined up correctly this one is take your allen key start tightening up
Great stuff, whilst I'm doing that there's a link above now about how to defrost your freezer easily
let's get the final two bolts in as I mentioned earlier don't go crazy with
these just make sure that they start tightening up and then once all four bolts are in we can
go around and make sure they're all super tight but we don't go around tighten them up in the
circle we tighten them up as opposites so we're tightening them up now as opposite so tighten one
and then make sure you go and do the opposite one on the other side and just keep going round using
the long part of the allen key making sure it's nice and tight just get it as tight as you can
fantastic
that is nice and sturdy
look at that a classic looking modern chair all built and ready to use
that looks absolutely brilliant only another seven to go 'Lurgs'!
we've actually bought eight of these!
but once you've done one obviously they all get easier the more you do it
that definitely deserves a lovely cup of tea!
