How To Make An Adirondack Chair

Рет қаралды 20,269

Күн бұрын

I designed a modern Adirondack chair because I've found most to sit too low for my taste. Also, I wanted to add a more modern flair to it. I sought out initially to make a modern lounge chair but as I looked at it more I found it to be more fitting as an Adirondack. So here we are! I made mine out of eucalyptus but I would recommend something that isn't so hard such as cedar, sapele or white oak.

That chair is a beauty~! The Eucalyptus is a beautiful wood. I would love to have it available here in GA, but I think Sapele would be a great substitute...that I can get (I think). Great job overall~!!

@CoffeyCustomBuilds 9 ай бұрын

Thank you! And honestly, I'd prefer sapele. This is very difficult to tool.

Those are some really nice chairs. I was curious how thick the finished lumber was. I know that many people use 8/4, but this doesn't look that thick

@CoffeyCustomBuilds 9 ай бұрын

This was finished at 1" with the slats closer to 7/8". Eucalyptus is very hard wood. Very strong.

@Hakuwoodworks 9 ай бұрын

@@CoffeyCustomBuilds thank you! I actually have a ton of 5/4 Sapele laying around, so I may just have to pick up your plans. I have a small 31" cnc, should that be big enough to make the templates?

@mruganksalunke1001 9 ай бұрын

Amazing build. Definitely getting the templates as soon as I have some time to work on it. I am curious though, if I wanted to make this into a rocking chair, does the back leg angle need to change?

Thank you! I haven't even put my brain to what would need to change to make it a rocker honestly.

@cblack1863 3 ай бұрын

Great build! Im gonna give it a try! If I didnt have bolts to fit, would a nice half lap be a good substitute for that joint? Maybe a couple of dowels though the lap to double down on racking prevention as well if needed?

Lap joint is SUCH a strong joint. That would work great.

Do you know what sort of Eucalyptus the timber is? It is quite hard to tell on a video, but it looks like it might be Bluegum.

@@CoffeyCustomBuilds Being Australian, 90% of the wood I work with is some sort of Eucalyptus. While there's a huge variety (700+ species I think), there are only a couple of dozen that are regularly used. Many of them are hard and splintery (is that a word?). Great for furniture, but often challenging to work with.
