I’ve had these 2 Adirondack chairs in my back yard for over 15 years. They are the most comfortable ones I’ve ever sat in. The place where I bought them has long scene gone out of buissness. I was thinking about disassembling one and use the pieces for a patten. So my question is, does this sound a good Idea? |

Adirondack chairs are easy and come in a wide variety of shapes and styles. From brief research when I was making mine, I believe the chairs came from the idea of making quick, simple, but comfy chairs out of local materials around the mountains. So I would suggest you just extrapolate from the chairs or down-load similar plans and adjust them to suit yourself, rather than take them apart. :) -- " 'Truth' is like a beautiful flower, unique to each plant and to the season it blossoms ...

All of the Adirondak chairs I have sat in were miserably uncomfortable.Thats why I started making the chairs I posted recently. If you have comfortable Adr. chairs I would copy their design rather than trying other plans.I dont see a problem taking them apart but I imagine you can duplicate them without having to do this. Post your comfortable Adr. chairs and lets see what is different about their design that makes them comfortable. -- " I'll try to be nicer, if you'll try to be smarter" gfadvm |

I’d love to see your chairs. By careful inspection and analys you should be able to duplicate them without having to disassemble them. Good Luck! Be Careful! Herb -- Herb, Florida - Here's why I close most messages with "Be Careful!" http://lumberjocks.com/HerbC/blog/17090 |
