Hey all, Can anyone point me in the direction of Adirondack chair plans for a smaller adult? The person in question is five feet tall. The only plans that I have seen are for either kids or normal sized adults. I am looking for something that is mid size. I would scale a full size plan down but I procastinated on a birthday deadline and am up against it. I certainly don't mind paying for a set. Full size drawings would definitely help. graci.
The Lee Valley plans have details for two chairs, one large and one a good deal smaller. I don't think you would need to scale them down. On the other hand, if you are up against a deadline, I found those chair take some time to build. The plans a listed in most any Lee Valley catalog.
You might have a look at Jake's chair.
Cheers
Frank
This might be what your'e looking for...
R, I looked on the LV website and found plans for various Adirondack chairs but didn't see a set for a larger and smaller plan. Can you describe the set of plans? Ciao.
That works OK on a 100% size drawing but any written dimensions are then wrong. So is material thickness. I've used the percentage method, but approached it a little different.
Take a dimension of one of the main parts, say the width. For sake of example, the seat is 27" wide so you want to reduce it by 10% or 2.7". To keep things simple, I would just deduct 3" from every part on the width. Do the same with the length and depth, but keep in mind, this is NOT a perfect method. Some dimensions will allow for wood thickness. You are not, of course, reducing the thickness of the lumber so not every dimension is reduced by a percentage.
Does it work? I've posted photos of a desk and chair and of an Adirondack chair that I rduced to scale. Until you knew what was up, people thought it was full sized, not 1/3 or less of the original. In once case, it is a copy of a 60" desk in my office that I reproduced for my wife's doll collection. I used oak reclaimed from a pallet. Ed
