I wanted to build a set of Adirondack chairs for my front porch but there's a couple of things that I don't like about the design. They typically lay too far back for my taste, they sit too low to the ground, and they're stationary. Instead of reinventing the entire wheel, Rockler sent me their plans and template kit for their Classic Adirondack chair and I modified it to fix these three issues. In the end, I had a wonderfully comfortable Adirondack chair that is a hybrid of Rockler and Fisher's Shop! Furthermore, I have plans available on my website that will let you build the same exact chair! The material cost to make these chairs is very low making this a perfect beginner's project. And if you're looking to sell these chairs, you could make a killing! Check out the video and see for yourself!

“Adirondack chairs are hard to get out of” - “I know, let’s make them move!” 😂 These are awesome! Thanks for another great video. I made a pair of Norm Abram’s Adirondack chairs many years ago. They are a very fun project and always a popular place to sit.

@MrJohnnyboyrebel 10 ай бұрын

Nice tweak to the Rockler plans! I’ve made 17 of the original chairs over the years and have a few hints to share with your subscribers. 1) Use weather proof lumber, perhaps Western Red Cedar (which I’ve seen last the longest so far) 2) Look for places where pocket screws can be used to hide the hardware, especially on the arms, 3) Paint parts before assembly because the spaces can be too tight even for a sprayer, 4)Use coated deck screws or stainless steel screws to prevent rust.

@BrettsWoodshop 10 ай бұрын

And definitely don’t use galvanized hardware because it will stain the cedar black.

Hey Drew, I know you sold the RV but a small portable roubo bench or a toolbox idea for our caravans could be a cool video idea that you could sell plans for. I know the caravan & camping market here in Australia is massive so a little benchtop roubo or a toolbox with an integrated vice on end with dog holes on top or something else like that could sell very well. I know the last thing you wanna do on holiday is more work, but if it had some kind of storage space you could hide your peanut m&m’s in there😅

@danielhanawalt4998 Ай бұрын

Now you've done it. Gave me another project. You trying to put me to work? lol. I could probably figure out how to make these without the plans and templates...if I watched the video a few dozen more times. I think ordering the Rockler plans and templates would be a lot simpler. And I do like simple.

Funny how you and Brad and seemingly many others like me love the look of the Adirondack chairs but not the difficulty of getting out of them, etc. While I can argue I really don’t like them now that I am old and fat but honestly, I’ve never liked them for the same reasons. I really like the glider option you brought to the table! I’ll be ordering another set of your plans! Thanks for another great project and video!

Many years ago I built a couple of adirondack chairs from a template. I built one as per the template and modified one. The aspect I changed was to have the front of the seat a few inches wider than the back, so I was not cramped. Unfortunately I don't that could be done with a glider.

@FishersShop 10 ай бұрын

Hey thanks! Yeah, for paper templates, I typically use spray adhesive and just glue them to the wood. But it means I have to print and assemble a new template for every piece, which can be annoying.
