Ah, I see, chair hooks. 
By the title I thought you were going to refinish or restore a chair.

First fitting of a chair hanger…
It’s going to be tricky over the old piano. The drop ceiling is at 92”. I need to put the top edge of the 1x6 at 91”. This will give me chair leg clearance just above the top of the piano. I have plenty of room for the other two hangers, a 2 or 3” gap is fine.
I was thinking I needed help fitting the boards, someone to hold the other end of an 8ft board while I marked where I wanted screw holes. Then I remembered, I have some 1x4’s 96” long (8ft). The ceiling is at 92” so minus 4”… minus a 2” gap at the top, minus 6” of the 1x6… I cut 1ft off the end of the 1x4. Then screwed the piece of scrap to the 1x4. I used a long clamp to hold it to the cinderblock wall. Now I have some “thing” to hold the other end of a chair hanger while I mark screw positions.

4 chairs and a cooler off the floor! Approx. 14sq ft. of new space I can use for things like walking. 
Now I have 5 more chairs and 2 coolers to hang.
