Folding Adirondack Chairs

Great job, love the wood.

Where did you get the plans?

Thanks. I got the plans from Lee Valley.

Great job, I made 2 out of red oak about a year and a half ago and used spar varnish but it did not hold up in the Florida sun so I sprayed them with exterior paint Lavender and yellow pastel (wife’s choice) but they look good. Wish they were folding so I could have put them away while not in use.

Nice chairs Don well done

Those are real nice chairs. I know your son is very proud of them.

-- There is no such thing as scrap wood, only smaller projects.

Great looking chairs. I especially like the Hickory.

Why do you say this wouldn’t be your first choice? Was it difficult to work with? I’ve never had the chance to work with Hickory – yet.

-- Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

I had originally intended to route with templates using a flush trim bit but between the kicking, bucking and tear outs, I just gave up and went with my bandsaw and belt sander.

Mess, what mess? I don’t see any mess. Great looking chairs. I know what you mean about hickory. Looks great, splinters easily (for me anyway).

Same for me with the splinters, nasty, just nasty.

Scared the crap out of myself a couple of times at the old router table!!!

Great chairs, I really like the ability of them folding. I did fine the chair plans on the Lee Valley site and here is the link.
