Technically the chair is now 100% complete and usable. I used it in this simple manner for a few weeks before opting for some extra changes for comfort and to better handle uneven ground surfaces.

1. You now have your cutting lines. I used a circular saw to fo P1 to P4 and P2 to P5, then a folding saw to start cutting out pieces and eventuallymake it from P4 to P5. A jigsaw would probably work great.
## Carry Case [WIP]
## Optional: Storage & Carrying Case

I personally choose to eyeball most of this work.
Cut off at 8.5 inches from each seat scrap piece.

Lay the back piece on its front, place the seat on top, and line up the sitting part of the seat with the top of the back of the back piece.
1. Cut off 8.5 inches of each seat scrap piece.
1. Lay the backrest piece on its front, so that its backside is facing up.
1. Place the seat on top, lining up the sitting part with the top of the backrest.
1. The long scrap pieces are approximately 1.5in x 2in x 26.5in. Place the shorter sides of these (1.5in) against the back piece along the sides of the chair.
1. The short scrap pieces are about 1.5in x 2in x 8.5in. They sit over the long pieces so that the seat can slide under. Place them across the edges of the long pieces with the 2in sides facing down.
1. At each corner where the short pieces are sitting on the long pieces, drill a pilot hole and add a 2.5in screw or similar.
1. After carefully aligning the seat and having the frame centered, attach the long pieces to the back piece with pilot holes and more 2.5in screws just below where the short pieces were joined.
Place the the shorter sides of the seat scrap pieces (1.5in) against the back of the back piece in similar locations as they were cut off. I prefer having the factory corner facing the outside of the chair.
If done properly the seat should now be contained within the carry handles, and is also able to slide up and out.
Place the 8.5in pieces across the scrap pieces with the 2in sides facing down, factory edges facing the top and botton of the seat. Drill a pilot hole and add a 2.5in screw or similar into each corner to build the carry case frame.
Attach the carry case frame to the back of the back piece with mre 2.5in screws after carefully aligning the seat and having the frame centered.
I personally choose to eyeball most of this work. [TBD/TODO: Watching the video is recommended for this section.]
