Here is my cypress Adirondack chair with hide away leg rest. When not in use the leg rest slides beneath the seat on runners. The chair is finished with spar varnish.

Saved a pair of adirondacks from the landfill a few weeks ago. Finally found someone to buy them and they wanted the chairs painted black. I thought the idea was crazy since it would be so hot in the summer, but I think the chairs look awesome in front of the house so my next chairs may end up...

Well I got all the kinks worked out and this is how my new chairs are going to be built. There is a child proof carter key pin so if a child desides to crawl between the arms it will not fold up on them. It also going on the front leg so when it is folded it stays that way. The sealer has the...

Guild build chairs. Made from western red cedar. These were my first big project other than boxes and cutting boards. Really happy with how they turned out. I like the look of the cedar, but will never use it again if i even look at it wrong it dents or scratches.

My oldest son said that he wanted to build some Adirondack chairs for his girlfriend's parents and asked if I would help him. It was so nice to be able to share some time in the shop, as we have not had the chance to do much of, since he is in school about 2 1/2 hours from home. Had a blast...

When Daniel and I started working together we only had a few power-tools. I had a small table saw and a band saw that was a bench top model I had a lot of hand tools but the shop was lacking sorely. We picked norms design made a few modifications and went with what we called the Old Hippy chair...

The Three Graces…LOL. ( you have to know your art, to get that joke) Here are my new Adirondack Tall Chairs done. I had previously posted the Armless Bar Chair, but these have the same arms as my Adirondack Arm Chair. The Deck chair measures 36" to the top of the curve at the front of the seat...

Finished this chair just in time for Saturday night barbecue. I used the plans from Fine Woodworking magazine, No.192, August 2007. The wood came from a home center store; the redwood lumber prices are reasonable there. I believe there is a mistake in the plans: the armrest support blocks...

Well, its been about 10 years since I have made Adirondack chairs but I finally made a gazebo patio area that need a set to finish out the outdoor area. The chair design came out of Handy Man magazine were they are called Advance Adirondack Chairs. Treated lumber and deck screws are all I used...

Having moved we now have two decks, one in the front and one in the back of the house so I was ordered to create another set of chairs for the back of the house. I elected to go with folding Adirondack chairs because I wanted to be able to move them out of the weather and store in the winter...

I have been doing research on these chairs now for about 5 months. Last year I had several people ask if I made them or new someone that did. After looking at many different ways to make them and seeing many diferent chairs elsewhere and on this site I came up with my own pattern with alittle of...

I recently made this Adirondack chair for my mother for Mother's Day. It was my first time using plans, which I got from Lee Valley. It was also my first experience making and using templates. I learned not to make templates out of 1/8" hardboard because it is too thin for the bearing on most...

After seeing other photos of the LeeValley Adirondack Chair I decided to give this a shot myself. As everyone says, adirondack chairs use so much wood and this plan was pretty involved for me but the look in the end is great. Since the plan gives you templates to cut out, that cuts out the...

Well this is my first project that I am post on LJ's. This was a wedding present for some friends that just got married. I was trying to think of something to get them for a while and it was getting close to crunch time. Then one day when I was over there house and saw that there new patio...

I made 8 of these chairs as gifts for friends and family (and two for us!) over this last winter, and I'm finally getting around to posting. Since I hadn't made chairs before, I went online to get a plan and found a good one at http://www.furnitureden.com/. I stuck with the plan, without...

A big thank you to Shopdog for sharing the heart in hand pattern with me. When taking the picture of the mirror I used a black backdrop to cut down on the reflection.

made this from some cypress my mother in law had left over from her deck project. Popular mechanics has the plans available online for free. It's a reasonably comfortable design.

This is my first project so any feedback, advice, criticism or good ole gripes are greatly appreciated. I wanted to make an adirondack set but, like most people, don't like maintaining outdoor furniture. So I found some composite decking material on sale and decided to give it a go. I like the...

Adirondack chair with table that also doubles as foot rest.

Just finished my first set of adirondack chairs using the popular mechanics design I found online. I was inspired by someone else's work on this website who used the same design and made a beautiful set of chairs. I'm happy with how they turned out, and as a beginner woodworker, I learned a lot...
