Not my first Adirondack build but this is my first attempt at a “Jake’s Chair” project but I’m very happy with the way it turned out. The website offers plans you can download that were fairly easy to follow. I built this chair with cypress from the “Cross Roads Sawmill”, they were very accommodating and patient while I picked out the lumber I wanted. Deck screws and liquid nail holding it all together.

Very nicely done.

I especially like the contoured back. – Len

Thank you for your kind words Ken and Len. I’m a grandpa to Len and I’m loving it. My grand kids are over in Germany living the military life at the moment but I’m going over to pick them up shortly because their dad is getting deployed to Afghanistan

Nice job!

I’ve been looking at plans and hope to build either the NYWS plan or Jake’s plan later this year.

Your’s turned out great

Norm’s chair is nice without a doubt the only draw back to the design I think is the 90 degree drop off at the front. If you decide to throw your feet out in front of you and really kick back, the back of your legs will be in pain not unless you have an ottoman, otherwise it’s a beautiful chair that looks very simple to reproduce. I watched the video on youtube and I really liked what he had to say about using Cypress for his project. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bUb3s3-jG8
