Adirondack chairs

Barry Lennox · 2005-06-07T06:26:11+00:00

My wife wants about 6, maybe 8, Adirondack chairs to adorn a new deck.(Then I think a friend wants about 4) Now, I have too many Adirondackchair plans including the "Jakes Chair" variant. Most of them havebeen published in FWW and Wood. I'll make some jigs and templates andstart cracking them out in mass-pro, once I settle on a design.So, do you have strong views on what is a comfortable design, or justas importantly, what makes an uncomfortable one?Thanks in advance,Barry Lennox

Thanks to you all for the prompt and helpful advice. Right now it's a tossup between Norm's, Jake's Chair and the one that was in FWW of May/June 99.

All have curved backs, claim to be comfortable and easy to build.

Regards,

Barry

Thanks for the link. I built something similar out of cypress, self designed, and a take off of some old redwood deck furniture. Without the metal sprung seat of the old chairs, mine are beautiful looking but uncomfortable. Since they are all M&T with Gorilla Glue there is no taking apart for modification. Looks like "Version 2" will be Jakes chair.
