    I could barely operate a saw but you inspired me. Went out and bought a miter saw and have made 6 of these chairs for our fire pit. Now, my wife’s sisters are requesting them. They are so comfortable and easy to make. I’ve got my own assembly line going now. Lol

    I've made three now, one for myself as something for my customers to sit in and try it on for size so to speak. I just sold two , stained twice in black for 80 a piece. Brook some pictures, posted it for sale with a raised price of 95.00 before staining, testing the market. Tonight I got an order for two more and the lady would like them stained black so I told her staining would be 35.00 each chair, as it takes time and there are extra cost of brushes and stain to incorporate. She was happy at 130.00 a piece. This is awesome to me because I build another style of Adirondack Chair that is more costly in regards to materials, sanded but unstained for 100.00. So this maybe my new best seller item for this summer. I have made a few changes to the design. The seating boards are 1x5 as I cannot get 1x10 here and they are 24" in length (4 boards required). The back boards are 21" (5 boards required) in length. Also the front leg and arm, I have included a gusset to help brace up the chair a bit better as I found the first chair I made, the front legs seemed a bit unsturdy with only having pocket screws.

    • @darwinthecat
      @darwinthecat 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I also made a few adjustments to the 3 that I built. I didn’t know how much to charge for them but after reading your post, I can narrow it down. I’ve been told that maybe around $150 unstained to $175 stained or painted.

      @@patriciabajcer8930 they say it's due to the US buying up all our lumber, then they said that has caused a shortage at the lumber mills, the they said the mills jacked up their prices so they had to jack up theirs to maintain their profit margin. Yet there's no shortage at the mill that supply us, however they do have prices still but not as high as they had before. The stores are keeping the prices up to recouped their loss in revenue which is understandable but it sure makes it hard for the little guy like me to make a cent.

    I'm always looking for ways to build things that will last, so your build with these chairs fits the bill perfectly. I heard you say that you did a few iterations of them experimenting with angles and such, but I think the one you settled on here is perfect. Great job in the shop and with the kids in tow, it was not only educational but fun to watch that little guy running around while you worked. Great video!!

    Love your vids! I find assembling the entire base and the seat, to include the back lower seat stringer cross brace first easier to manage. I also rip the back top back brace at 20 degrees for a cleaner look that allows the 2 vertical back frame pieces to sit flush to brace. I've made about 100 chairs to date and find this step order works best for me.

      Team Frankenmerc so basically, instead of (5) 2x4s cut to 19.5”, you just did the two for the vertical legs, and the other three you cut to 24”? Everything else stays the same (other than obvi the seat and back planks)? Also thinking maybe just cutting a third 19.5” to use as a temp holding block like she did while putting on the back. I’m wanting to do the same and am building a pair this week.

    Thank you so much for doing this video and posting the plan designs!
    I used it to make 2 chairs as a “corona project” with my kids.
    We used reclaimed wood from their play set and 2x4’s from a wall I took down in the house.
    I took some liberties with the measurements as the 2x4’s were a little warped and distressed :)
    Thanks again!

    My wife loves these chairs! I loved the simplicity of the plans and the video. After my first two I decided to build my second two with 4x4 stringers instead for added stability. I just added a second 2x4 on my first two and voila.

    Me and my wife just finished the chair and it's a great design for only $40 dollars in lumber. I was unsure how the sharp front edge of the seat would be but it works out great and is comfortable. Thank you for the design.

    Built two and I love them. I used 1x6 because I couldn’t find the right 1x10 at Home Depot. Used 3 boards for seat and 5 for back. They look great. Thanks for the instructions!

    I've made several of these. Easy to make and comfortable. I expanded the dimensions wider, and made a 2 seater.

    LOL! Never been an Adirondack chair fan - until now! Can't wait to build them! Thanks for all you do! BTW, for what it's worth, both my daughter and son-in-law are power tool designers at Ryobi! My daughter and I absolutely love your designs and the simplicity with which you explain everything. It really gives me a lot of confidence when I start to build one of your projects.

    Just put together a rough draft using scrap wood I had sitting around, just so I had an idea of how to do it.
    Your plans and video were so easy to follow when compared to others.
    Looking forward to making the finished article in the spring when I can get outside and enjoy using it.
    Thank you!!

    Just finished building two of these chairs for my RV lot. Only thing I changed was I used 1 x 8, for some reason I can't get 1 x 10 at any of the lumber stores around my area, looks great and super easy to build. Thanks so much Ana!

    As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement th-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

  • @janebutz5375
    @janebutz5375 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Perfect! Just in time to make them for my porch. They will be next to my Ana White planting bench! Every time I see Adirondack chairs I am reminded of a New Yorker cartoon where someone throws a rock in a yard in PA with a note attached that said "If you know what's good for you, you'll get those Adirondack chairs out of the Poconos!" My grandfather had a couple of chairs and I couldn't wait to be big enough to use them comfortably. Nice memories.

    Thank you for sharing your build plan. I would recommend chamfering the seat bottom edge for a round edge instead of a sharp corner.
    For the back rest and seat bottom, I plan to use my leftover 3/4” maple flooring wood planks.

  • @jeffdude6088
    @jeffdude6088 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is great. I have made several of your other chair. I will make this one as well. After I complete a couple chairs, before I paint them, I pour some Woodlide Coppercoat into a shallow pan and soak the feet of the chair for a few minutes. This will allow the chair to be left in the grass without experiencing rot of the surfaces that touch the ground.

    Almost done building 8 of these. I used 2x6s for the arms…wished I would have added an extra inch or two so they overhang in the front, but no biggie, still very beautiful. Also made the chairs an inch wider, we’ll see if it really makes that much of a difference. Can’t thank you enough for this design and the free plans.

      @@AnaWhiteDIY Sure thing! I'm hoping to finish up the chairs this week and will definitely submit a Brag Post with a few "money shots". Again, can't thank you enough for these plans!! We moved a year ago and had to tear out our ground level deck almost immediately for safety reasons. Your chair design is finishing off a new fire pit area where part of the old deck used to be. My four kiddos will make many memories around the fire thanks to you!
