I have now made five sets of these, 10 chairs and five tables. I’ve made them out of 5/4 x 6“ northern white cedar I found that I have a significant amount of scrap material and that has led me to alter my design by using the scrap material in the finished product. For example, Instead of the chair seat and back slats, all being the same width I have alternated them with additional narrow slats. This variation is pleasing to the eye. I’ve made similar use of scrap to alternate the slats on the table top as well. In addition, I made many extra corbels, the trim piece that goes under the chair arm, and I have used those to support some extra width on the table. Finally, I added some of the scrap to the lower frame of the table to create a shelf for knickknacks, a planter, or perhaps a citronella candle.
I always enjoy Jim's easy going personality with his incredible knowledge of woodworking. I love this plan as it really looks nice and it might be simple enough for me to try (when lumber goes back down in cost). Thanks Wood mag and Jim for another handy project.
This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
Is it possible to make an Adirondack chair out of marine grade laminated wood? Where I live it is almost impossible to find suitable natural wood but I do have access to laminate, and it would also be MUCH cheaper. Can I use 3/4" sheets cut to size and thoroughly painted?
Hello and very nice video on how to with this type high chair...tell me does the same plans come on how I can make this chiar...if so I would like to purchase them.
As a long time subscriber to your magazine, I was wondering if this was in one of the editions. Also, in the digital download, are the templates full-size so they can be printed and pieced together? Thanks. Bill
Just a quick question on your thickness. Plans call for 1" thick. Well, as we all know, if you buy a "1x6", it's usually 3/4 x 5 1/2. Are you using true 1" thick cedar? If so, for me, the only place I can get true 1" thick wants $15+ a BF.. Would you say using clear white pine then covering with spar varnish would hold up well? Like to build stuff, but $15 a bf is out of my price range realistically.
Went to order this plan. Your insistence that I "create a password" so later my data can be stolen caused my thought process to KMA instead. Have a peachy day.

Could you post some pictures of your alterations?

Very nice indeed!
You are a very good instructor! I can see where i can take this frame build and easily customize it.
perfect for backyard.

I like this a lot. I would like to make the table one that four of these adirondacks could sit around. Just adjust the measurements?
Muito bom!
Nice wish you had a little link to the plans
There does appear to be a link, but when I clicked on it I got a "Not available in your country" message.
Buy the step-by-step plans with detailed drawings and full-size patterns at woodm.ag/adirondack
@@buckeyewoodshop I need to use a proxy to access that as I just get the "Not available in your location" message.
Peter, international privacy laws are too difficult to keep up with so, sadly, we prohibit most countries outside of US/Canada from purchasing.
@@Wood that's a really poor excuse for plans that are only available as a digital download.

I had same question, I've built the chair Norm Abram builds, & I used 1x pine, it worked fine
Tamarack is every bit as resilient as cedar but much less money I find it near me from the Amish.
5/4 cedar deck boards are 1” thick and cost $2-3 per bf
Are the printed plans full scale?
How can I?
Download the patterns
Can I get a printed plan for these?
Link in the description. :)

How can I get a material list for the chair only
Where can you get the templates
Patterns ?
I swear I have seen this style be it a much more refined style somewhere if only i can place it. This looks rather clunky and meh
