These turned out well,just for the record the use of screws is mechanical joinery .

Nice looking. Should give them lots of enjoyment.

RS, this is just a suggestion, if you want the colors to stay true and really pop, put a poly finish on them now, but sand them down first because they’ve already started to yellow and fade. By next spring they will be nearly colorless. Other than that, I REALLY like the design and execution.

We have a local (loco?) guy here that sells seats like that to a local grocery store for $150/ea. They ask $279/ea. and sell all he can make for them.

I think yours look stronger and better designed except for the 2X4 across the bottom front, it kind of breaks up the symmetry of the curves.

Please forgive me if I ruffled your feathers, there was no intent to do so meant.

I started to build swings and chairs like this last summer but got side tracked by my onsite job which required my full attention until about 3 weeks ago.

Make them things and sell ‘em! Hooah!

I really want to build one of these but I’m so afraid I’ll mess up the curve (comfortable factor). These look really beefy. I’m hoping to build something about the same size but with a lighter look.

Nice job.

Nice job Ryan. Too bad you didn’t finish them earlier, as it looks like the NHL players will have a long time to sit around this season, but that’s another rant.

Great looking swings; I’d love to make one of these for my wife soon. By the way, I like the weathered look.
