In this video, I go over how to create an indoor or outdoor DIY 2x4 Barstool. The steps in this video are fairly simple for anyone with little to no DIY experience. I've linked some plans below from other creators such as DIY Pete and More Like Home. I used their plans for reference but modified the plans to fit my specific bar heights.
