I have drawn up a cutting list and parts list, and can give an easy step by step instruction to make a childrens adirondack chair.
Ive posted them way back. Ive seen similar styles made out of wood selling from anywhere from 49-89 dollars.
My design, can be made from 8 bf.
I generally use Pressure treated and deck screws, the 1x6s PT in the borg are under 5 bucks each, so it runs me around 10 bucks a chair, or you can resaw a 2x6x8 PT, that runs generally a bit under 7 bucks.
I use 3/4 inch stock.
I have every piece measured up, the cut list made, and so on, but on paper, handwritten, it didnt come out well I planned on putting it on here so anyone, even a novice (like myself)can build a couple of kiddie chairs easily over a weekend, probably in one day.
If anyone wants to play with some computer program and make it readable for general fww use, Id redraw it all if someone will offer to put it in a readable graphic easy on the eyes, like a sketchup, something I cant do.
Its just to share, 8 bf is not alot of wood, and its a beautiful outdoor chair.
these are my plans, I never took any of these out of a book, nor did I ever see a set of plans for a childrens chair, I just made a few samples and waited till I was happy with one of them.
I hit the search button and found my thread on it, I searched childrens adirondack chair, and the second thread had a picture of what I make. I can post more pics when I get home. I dont know how to link the other thread here.
I do know most have their own plans, so not a big dealio, Im just offering something simple, and if you have alot of short scraps of PT, this can be made with mostly short cuts, trash diving kind of boards.
