I needed new bar stools for our new bar that we designed and built in our basement family/entertaining room. Regardless of where I was looking, these things are silly expensive. I also wanted a little more of a country/rustic look that would suit my husband and my likes. I used the Vintage Bar Stool plans but my husband isn't a small guy and we have friends that aren't classified under the small frame category either, I needed more structure. After thinking about it for a few days, I liked the rustic X look and used that from so many plans. I also am all about comfort and the padded upholstered seats was a must. Can't wait for my next project. BTW. The cabinets behind the bar also came from here I simply modified for what we needed. We get compliments on it all of the time. Love this website, thank you so much for making simple to read instructions for things I actually want to do.

I am sorry. I just saw this.
I am sorry. I just saw this. Honestly I don't make any plans, I kind of fly by the seat of my pants. The X's are measured out at the end.

construction question???
These look great. I think that I'll add them to my build list that my wife seems to keep growing for me. How did you attach the back pieces? In the original design it showed pocket holes, but I don't see any on your work. Thanks for the help.

Bar stool legs notched out or not notched out
Could you please settle a discussion between myself and my husband? Are the legs notched out for the 1x4's to sink in , or are they just attached with pocket holes
