I have been making these Pallet Viking Chairs for a while and really enjoy them a lot. They’re much more comfortable to sit in and are more attractive than a recliner-style seat. Plus, they’re easy to move!
Make yourself a set of these Pallet Viking Chairs – they’re great for party seating, outdoor living areas, and more!
First, I broke down the pallets and sanded them with a belt sander. Next, I glued, screwed, fitted with dowels and clamped together. The back pieces are full 48″ lengths of pallet wood, and the seat part is 42″ long with the hole at 12″ from the floor. The Seat back and seat area width is roughly 11 – 12″. I finished the chairs with varying techniques including wood torching, staining, and sealed with an outdoor wood varnish.
Start that sanding! Break the pallets apart, pull the nails out, and sand the boards down nice and smooth (or leave as much texture as you want).
Two layers of 48″ boards are glued, dowelled and screwed together. I clamped everything down well and used my old weight set to help prevent any warping.
…And we’re clamping and gluing and screwing and doweling….. :D
I’ve cut, curved and sanded the edges over along the top of the backrest and on the front of the seat portion. Additionally, I cut some off of the seat portion to make it shaped like a giant key and cut the slot into the backrest portion.
Here’s a close-up shot of me trimming down the seat, so it’s sort of key-shaped. Next, I’ll round over the corners of the seat for comfort.
Test fitting these chairs before I bother with the details like rounding over the corners, or even decorative carving.
Everything is better when you can use fire, right? Look at the beautiful grain that becomes highlighted with careful application of the wood torch. The corners are rounded over.
Could these Viking chairs be any more manly? Of course. Just carve a skull, like the Punisher shape, and the chair is instantly more awesome!
Happy wife = happy life, right? If there is a King chair, there has to be a Queen chair! <3
Here’s another great idea for outdoor seating with a unique twist like these Pallet Chairs With Game Board Table! Want a unique seating for your man cave? Try this Tires & Chains Rocker!
So.. you kinda glossed over the whole “dowelling” thing. I know what a dowel rod is, I dont see any in any of these in the pictures
When you say “Dowel” do you mean biscut joint???
Not viking ! It’s the Punisher head !
Andrew Bates you need one of these lol

Looks like you’d need a biscuit jointer for the bit you sit on. Not a 5 minute job
