- Surprise!! Time travel :) So THIS is officially the last build in the RI shop.
Plans: www.jackmanwor...
Details! ▼
The Jackman Works adirondack chair is back! This time something a little different with a walk through video. I love how many people are using my plans to build these for themselves and I get a lot of questions so I figured this build needed a more detailed video. This was my last batch in the shop in Rhode Island, a set of 8 chairs that ended up at a college in Pennsylvania. These are made from clear grain western red cedar, fastened together with stainless steel screws and carriage bolts all from my favorite place Albany County Fasteners. It took me about 7 days in total to complete these including dry time for the finish. To learn more, be sure to check out the full build article and the plans, both available on my website.

I've been using Albany for a while, they're awesome.
I bought your plans but I am having a hard time getting rough cut 5/4 cedar around western PA. Do you think 3/4" cedar would work?
I think he said he was going for a 1" finished thickness. So 3/4" will possibly not support a full grow man.
One of the biggest problems is the chair legs sink into the grass and rot.
If cut up a car tire into rectangles little large than the legs. Screwed to the bottom with stainless steel screws. This keeps the legs off the grass and keeps the rot down.

I bought the plans several years ago,worth every penny. easy to follow, great strong design, we built several out of mahogany. they have become our favorite chairs used every day by hundreds of youth in the philippines. A big thank you
I just bought the plans and templates. Just fantastic. The plans are beautiful and easy to follow. Everything is color coded and clear. The wooden templates are going to make everything easy. I did make one error; I bought 40 linear feet of rough sawn 8” Teak. Not only was the cost a big “ouch”, but it’s ruining every blade on every machine that I own. Do yourself a favor: use cedar or similar, stay away from teak. But don’t hesitate to purchase these templates and plans, they are great, really great.
liked the return comment. was in my teens growing up in Syracuse. Those were Larry Czonka years. Moved to south Fla. and watched him play with Miami at the orange bowl. To me the greatest stadium ever. Would go and watch the Dolphins and the Hurricanes play. Syracuse will always hold a special place in my heart, but being in s fla. for so long and the Orange Bowl, well really became a Miami fan. 64 now, but going intothat old wooden stadium, 86000 plus seats, I always got the chills from just the excitement of being there. Today is a tough call, Syracuse at Miami, have grown to be a Hurricane fan. So it is tough, I just want it to be a good game, but being here so long, I really want Miami to win, but in any other case i always still root for the orange. Just wanted to be truthful. Almost 47 years in s fla. Maybe before you were born. Thats my story, and thanks for all your great builds n music.n
I made one last year from his plans. Went very well and is very comfortable. The only thing I did different and would do again, was attach the arm rests at the front leg with pocket screws from underneath. This keeps the top face looking seamless and water doesn't have a chance to soak-in around the screw.
I've been woodworking for 50+ years, you have really nailed the process with these chairs, efficient production and high quality work. Great stuff. I wish I had access to all that Western Cedar, I use local White Cedar. I have a HVLP spray setup but might leave unfinished.
NICE job Man !! I CRACKED UP when you were climbing over the chairs to shut off the lights ...... that's alllll me right there trying to get out of my shop at night !! I'm 67 and STILL loving it ! I keep telling myself "I'm getting" to old for this Sh*t !!!! Keep up the beautiful work !!
That’s pretty “ultimate.” I mean because a lot of people mislead us with false titles. Your chairs are beautiful. One day soon I’ll try this. Right now I’m making a few different ones per customer request. I didn’t have plans for them and they’re pretty awesome but I really enjoyed your insight and expertise. Love this! Subscribed!
Please make a video on how you repair the button for your river!
I really like your editing style and sense of humor. Thanks for making these videos.
I bought the plans and templates. Well worth the money. Good quality.
I made one change with the curve of the seat stringer. The curve is too far forward for the shape of my a$$ so I flattened the curve a little. Other than that I love this chair. I made a whole outdoor dining set of these. Saved thousands.
Nice design, project layout, cut layout, and jigs. Dust Protection is a must, especially with Cedar.
Well done! Articulate, easy to understand. Beautiful chair. I have built several of these over the past 30 years including a double loveseat, matching coffee table and round end tables. In fact, I sold the full size blueprints in a couple woodwork magazines and sold the plans all over the world. Best of luck to you!
Just wanted to say I bought the plans and they are really great, everything went smoothly. Looking forward to doing more builds based on your work, cheers!
I really like that notch design on the top of the back leg! For my build I'm trying to avoid screw penetrations in the top of the arms. Will try pocket screws from below.
Bought the plans, made templates from full
Size plan and built first chair in one day. Plans are great and chair is amazing.
Ok, maybe this IS the tenth or fifteenth time I've watched this video, but it's quick and i still get something new each time. About to finish my FIRST Adirondak chair from your templates. Mistakes aplenty 😅 thanks again.
I've made a few adirondacks in my time, but did not spend as much time and attention to detail as you do. Very nice work.
Hals Wood Shop. Very Great Lesson here in mass production. Excellant. I made the Woodsmith Adirondack chair and the seat does not drop low in the back like most Adirondack chairs( accidental learning ) but most tall men that I have sit in my chairs really like getting in and out of them because it is not that low angle. Worth looking up those plans for a new leg pattern. I wish I could get the western red cedar here in PA very hard to find. My pine chairs have done well with care, almost 20 years.
Where in PA? I just moved to DC and had to call around for pricing, the clear grain stuff is a little tricky to find by the tight knot stuff is readily available, cheapest pricing was in northern MD which wouldn't be far if you're in the right part of PA
I am in central PA near Penn State. I haven't checked the local specialty dealers. Big box stores only carry fencing in cedar. Thanks for the quick answer.
I’m smack dab in the middle of building a set of cedar Adirondack chairs with a template I got from another TH-cam maker, so I know how much work goes into it. I learned some things from your video that will come in handy when it comes time for assembly. Thank you!
Paul, after reading all of the comments here I think you have heard about everything. I am just going to sit back and take a few deep breaths and drink a few cold ones. You are the man111 How do you keep all of that in order and remember it. Thanks for sharing.
I have built one such chair with minimal tools. it took me three days (including painting). built from pallets' wood.
advice: make the back of the chair higher, at least 80 cm from the seat, then it will be convenient to tilt your head back. I did more than in the project, 75 cm, and I (the average woman of 172 cm) lack some 5 cm to comfortably lean my headback on the back of this chair. now I'm thinking about how to make the back longer/higher.
Awesome video, very informative, and very personal. The best way to learn is by watching an expert, and the way you set it up it feels like I'm right there in the shop. Good shit dude
I’m taking a woods class and we get to make these chairs after seeing this I want to make it in my class for a project and I have confidence on making this chair I hope I don’t make any mistakes
you looked so graceful when you played the harp, nearly brought a tear to my eye. lot of work but great results.
I must confess I watch your channel for the videography almost as much as the woodworking and yes, you are awesome! Love the humour also!
+Mike McKinlay thanks so much Mike!
Love these chairs. I am a late starter in woodwork and mainly turn wood on my lathe. I have just been asked by my wife to build her some garden furniture and have watched your video a few times now, love to have a set of plans as it would make alot easier. I live in the damp UK so which would be a good wood to use.
Your fan

My Dad and I built this type chair in the early '70s. We used white oak, 3/4". He bought the pattern around 1950. Hate to say it, but the pattern came up missing after Daddy passed, along with other things. One of the most comfortable chairs I have ever sat in. Oak was $110 for 1000 brd ft, and that was dressed.
I really like your personality buddy! You did a great job with both the chairs and the videography, not to mention the nutty stuff. Looking forward to more.
Yes! Well produced video. The right amount of humor and talking.
I hate TH-cam videos with superfluous introductions or nonsensical material. Some people don't have the gift of the gab, and some others just want to see themselves talking on video.
Purchased your plans. Just letting out know how much I appreciate the amount of effort you put into everything. Between the plans and your videos I should be able to complete the project. Great for newcomers like me.
Thanks so much David! That really means a lot. I'm trying hard to make these projects approachable to beginners so that's awesome feedback.
Dude you are a beast! That is a lot of work but the chairs turn out beautifully.
I made one it looks amazing
Nice place to park it and have a cool adult beverage! Thanks for sharing
Just finished my first set using your plans. Came out great. Thanks for all the details.
Well this vid came out at the perfect time. Bought your plans awhile back and picking up wood today. Weekend (or two) project. Thanks Paul!
You have a great work ethos, I have thought of building 2 one each for me and the wife. To do so many I don't think I would have the patience or the dexterity! Great video!
BEAUTIFUL build, dude! Love it. The ONLY thing I would add is a cup holder in the right arm...
Thank you! Purchased your plans and got one done. 100% battery tools except for the planing.
You are the only person I've seen besides myself that uses peanut butter jars for hardware. I've been collecting them for years. Congratulations man. 😆
Really cool to see how much thought has gone into making those.
Great job! Your Adirondack chairs are the best looking design I’ve seen. I’m definitely going to purchase your plans so I can make a few of these for myself.
Very nice chair. Great attention to detail and quality you put into it
Excellent video. Great job both explaining the process and also on you excellent filming and editing of this video. Attention to detail shows! 👍👍
Great looking chair! The way you explain all the steps is very interesting. Thanks for the info.
Your passion for what you do , shows through in the quality of your product. Cheers
Glad to see that when you got to the router you finally put your dust mask on. You’re young, dust protection now will pay off when you’re older. In other words you won’t have to drag an oxygen bottle around when you’re an old man. Nice build BTW.
Well done, great video that showed me how to fix some symmetry I've run into! Thanks man!
It’s a dream of mine to own one of these stunning chairs. I was lucky enough to sit in an Adirondack when I travelled to America. They are so comfortable. Fantastic video. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain every stage. Thank You.x
Really enjoy your videos with voice over... Able to learn a lot more about your techniques and thought process. Great video, awesome chairs!
I love the editing in your videos, and the subtle music in the background does wonders. Also, very nice detailed explanation of all the steps. 10/10
Impressive editing, comprehensive while concise.
Great plans and templates. Thank you! I used Walnut, super results
I'm getting that full red malware warning screen when I hit the link for your build plans link, build article, and website link above
It's all cleaned up now, Google just hasn't caught up yet
This chair looks very nice. The best what ever i am see. Best regards from germany.
Nice Work man. Very time consuming job, but they definitely are worth the effort you put into them.
So lucky they let you use your old shop to make these! Great job. :)
Superb video. You're a great credit to the woodworking trade.
Your craftsmanship is superb!!! Beautiful work!!! My friend. Very hard to find quality like that nowadays. Btw,,, new subscriber. Take care and keep these GREAT videos comin!!!!
Silver Grizzly j
Great video! You certainly have that process wired,
Very impressive work and craftmanship... so much I just purchased your plans. Thank you
Great video and beautiful chairs. Nicely done, sir.
Really nice job paul. I'm not a big fan of those kind of Chairs. But yours look much better than the other ones, I think im gone get my self the drawing you sell 😁 keep up the good work Paul 👍
Thanks man! These have taken a lot of refining over the years to get something different and better
I appreciate you letting us see your processes. Lots of tips I'm certain I'd of learned the hard way without your help.
Good information on how you go about doing production batches
Glad you enjoyed, thanks Andrew!
Beautiful chairs and great video. Do you do all of your own editing?
Yessir! I'm a one man band, just me and my tripod :)

Hey, love the chairs. Get yourself a router table with flush trim bit and you'll reduce your time making those chairs by a ton!
Great video, and I love the detail of your work. I make outdoor furniture, but not quite on your level. Big thumbs-up.
Golf 182 here my man. About to build these chairs for the sector I am at now.
Those are some very nice chairs. Thanks for making the video.
Great proportions and love the finish. Also, love the international orange shirt, I was Bravo 115!!
Holy crap! I would go insane on the first batch. Great video!
Got these plans and they are awesome... they turned out fantastic!
That is awesome that your shop is so close to a river! Great Video!
Just found this video. Great looking work and that shop is awesome!
Very interesting :) I make Adirondack chairs myself and there is quite a similarity between yours and mine, I use Tigerwood, which I buy here in Hawaii where I live..it is a hard and heavy wood, but ideal for patio and outdoor furniture...thanks for sharing.:)
Your spouse is going to have one kick ass shadow box!
+Chandler Nuttal you better believe it!!
Woah. More power to you man. I would totally lose track of how many of what piece when laying all those out. Love your system though! Can tell you've done a lot.
Yeah it's locked in my brain at this point haha. I could build a chair with one hand while I tear pallets apart with the other!
saved for when i can get the wood to complete the project lovely chair
Great detail in the video and excellent results. Nicely done.
Saw the 'T' shirts, checked out Instructables web site. WOW. 21 contest winners. Wow. Nicely done.
So much great content on that site, I'm happy to be a part of it!
Good Job!! ...you've come a long way. Wish "my" eyes were bulletproof too.
The safety squints haven't failed me yet
Really nice...I will be purchasing the plans for these soon. Thanks for a great vid.
Very nice! Love the rounded arms..Tfs👍
Thanks so much for doing this video, I love your usual style but it was really nice to get a bit more information about how you go through the process. The chairs are phenomenal, impressed you can keep your sanity and focus through all the repetition. How many variations did you go through before you reached your current design and where did you start from?
Beautiful job on those chairs Paul.
Looks very similar to the Rockler chair design, which is a great design. I've made a couple of them. Need to wear safety glasses, if not for yourself, for new woodworkers that think that's good practice.
Added clarification on this build was a must. Thank you for showing it!
Superb Adirondack chairs. Thanks for the video!
Great looking chairs! Thanks for posting, very nice work!!!
thanks for the video. those look awesome. i was thinking that a gel stain might even out the light-dark pieces.
so that is how an Adirondack is built... guess I did it wrong :) They are some very beautiful chairs.
haha I'm sure they're not that bad, it's hard to mess up an adirondack :D
More than one way to skin a cat. But these look very comfortable
Yup! Cool chair indeed. Suitable for the beer of your choice.
Thanks! The arms are wide enough for 2! :)
But no cup holder! ;) Just ribbing you a bit. Great looking chairs - every last one of them!
Bizarre, I sent someone to Albany County Fasteners yesterday for some metric machine screws he needed, and today Jackman is sponsored by them.
haha awesome!! I love that place
So that's how you get stuff done in the shop... Guess me standing around scratching my head trying to figure out the next step isn't as efficient as I thought!
ha! that stuff just doesn't make the cut into the video ;)
What a great video! I still need to build some!
Cool video! Informative and well edited. I noticed the Elm City shirt...New Haven in the house!
Great video and just enough entertainment to keep interesting.
Best I've ever seen. Good job!
Beautiful chairs. I’m going to buy your plans when I decide to tackle this project.
Damn how long did all of those take to make... I think I would lose my mind during the finishing process. Great work.
Best yard chairs there is bar none. Can sit all day in one. Like the orange tee... Papa 192, mine Uniform 31
Super work buddy, love the set up of your workshop too.
c'est tres beau Paul!
