Made 2 for our daughter she loves them, thanks for making the plans available. One modification I made was the last seat slat that goes against the back slats, I made a curved section that matched the curve of the lower back back slats filling in the gap.

Nope, seat slats are 20” and front stretcher is 20”. Temporary spacers are 18.5”. You can see this at 11:52 of video.

If you framed it with 3/4 marine grade plywood and decked it (seat, back and arms) with cedar, it would last decades. The decking would be replaceable and the frame everlasting. I think the plywood idea is genius. No splitting or cracking around the bolts... Beautiful chair.

This is the chair I made back in 2011. The template s for this particular chair was some how destroyed. I was hoping that you can send off for the free PDF sheets and I can transfer the measurements on to a 1/4 inch thick of wooden material. All the measurements is accurate that you come across as you read. If some is fat..or just got a big fat ass,.. I just need to make the seat a little wider.

Sorry for the trouble. I reprinted all the pages out. They are 1x1” squares. Only thing I can think of is when you overlap the pages to line up the 1” squares that is where the issue is. Since half the square is on one page and half is on the next page, they overlap a bit. Since I printed it out, I’ll draw in some alignment triangles that overlap the pages. Then, upload the file again.
@tswwoodworking3 ай бұрын
I added some alignment triangles on the pdf to help when taping the pages together and reloaded pdf with a new link. My printer did give me the right lengths when I printed it out. Hope that helps. Sorry you were having trouble. I thought the 1" squares would work for people to align the pages. I should have added the triangles before. Good luck.

what stain and sealant would you recommend if these are left out in the elements all the time? Also what would you change to make the chair 2-4" taller? just the front legs longer and change the angle of the back, or would that whole piece need to be longer as well? Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
@tswwoodworking6 ай бұрын
Depends on type of wood used. I made these out of white oak which exterior doors are sometimes made from. Could use whatever stain you like, but I then spray with Waterlox (modified Tung oil). If you make chairs out of cedar or something that doesn’t take stain well, I just coat with the Waterlox and let wood change to eventual color which can be nice. I’m not a fan of polyurethane. Seems to flake over time. Hope that helps. Oh, and I have made a raised one, but was just modified design but don’t have plans for it. Good luck!

How much did it cost to build
@tswwoodworking7 ай бұрын
Well, that depends on type of wood and hardware you use. I went the more expensive route. I used stainless steel hardware which was about $25, and 21 board feet of quarter sawn white oak which is about $6/board foot. So total about $150. My folding Adirondack video which I posted recently was made from cedar which was less expensive.
