2009 Adirondack Chairs

Hey Darryl
This is one fine looking Adirondack great job.

I like the square look. Most Adirondack’s all look “round” to me. Nice job.

I guess you’ll just have to make a new set for yourself now!

Hi Darryl,

Nice design. Was this a design you came up with. I have never seen any quite like it. Great job on the finished product.

-- Derrick J. Barcroft

I can’t take cradit for the design. I got this design from an issue of The Family Handyman a couple years ago. I like that it doesn’t have the extreme slant in the seat that a traditional style chair has so these are super easy to get in and out of.

They are fun to make though! Although I’m not a huge fan of painting, seems it takes longer to paint them than it does to build them!

Very nice, you should have sawed some out for yourself at the same time.

Nice job I need a couple in my yard.

Those are great!! If you were here in Houston, you and the paint on those chairs would be melting right about now!!

i like this design…i built two and its true…the seat makes it hard to get out on…(not to mention my big butt).

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

I did plan ahead a little bit Dick, I have enough parts precut to make 4 more chairs. They make for handy donations when I can’t think of anything else! I just donated two unfinished chairs to my daughter’s elementary school for a fundraiser. I think my next personal chair will be of the lovesear variety, I haven’t tried that yet…

it was 47 in NH today, I wouldn’t mind some of that Houston heat Matt!!

A very neat job on that chair. I admire your idea of concealing the hardware. Is pine selected because of costs?

I’ve got plans for a similar chair as the fine woodworking example, I just haven’t ever got around to making one.

Sharad, I used pine for both financial and availability reasons – I got a bunch of it for free from my brother-in-law!

That’s what I like ”Free Lumber”!!!

Nice work. I like the height and seating angle.

-- so much wood, so little time. Bradford.

Great job ! They look terrific.

-- Bob

Your chair looks like an old style of lawn chair I have seen down here that I believe is called a Alabama plantation chair. I has these same features and lacks the rounded over shapes that Adirondack chairs typically have. Very nice, and free lumber, my favorite species!
