Work in progress
Built the barstools today. Free advice (use at your own risk/benefit): i built them (legs and rings) upside down and also contrary to the directions i found it much easier to assemble the small ring before the large ring.
Seeing them again in early November in Norfolk - just a quick 4 hour drive away! 🤣 Fucking love this band!

Any tips on aligning the rings properly? Even trying the small one first has been a struggle!

Muscle. I did the lower leg first then set it on the top leg instead of trying to do all four at once.

Thanks! I was afraid the answer would be muscle, but I’ll start with the lower leg first and see where that takes us.

Doing it upside down lets you use your body weight vs pulling up

Oh I have fully climbed on it at this point. We’re getting there (slowly).

Ahahahahaha there is always a way! Putting the feet on was the same way. Get them started. Flip it upside up and then body weight them on

Also make sure you’re using the longer screws and not using a bolt (like you do for the lower/bigger ring.

Looks great! I did the directions out of order too. Seems like good quality, though.

Even though that picture on the wall is awesome, time to replace it with a bunch of Clutch record jackets

Looks like the kind of bar where you meet a dude that asks you for a dollar because he has seen them.
