This loveseat was made from a discarded redwood picnic table top found in front of a neighbor's yard. The wood was pretty chewed up, but cleaned up nicely on the table saw (don't have a planer). It's based on these very comfortable plans; the arms are a little narrower because of the size of...
We have a local cypress vendor with lots of air dried generous 4/4 stock.
Nothing fancy; I used Norm's plan.
Most of the chair is finished to 7/8". The legs are 1".
It's heavy and comfortable.
Sorry about the pics; guess I need to figure out which direction to hold the phone ;)
This one took me awhile to complete, but here is my version of this chair. All of the staves are Qtr. Sawn White Oak and had to be pre drilled for every screw, and I lost several bits in the chair. This chair now sits in a furniture store as some of my other furniture hoping to be sold. All...
This is my second child Adirondack chair, this time I hid all the screws with a pocket holes. I am really happy with how nice it looks. Now it's ready to stain.
Just uploaded my first project on here yesterday. It was a rotating book/trinket shelf. These "Jake's Chairs" were my first real project though. They are what started me in woodworking. After just moving into our first house, my wife went to do work doing a night shift. I went out for a drive...
Well…what a difference a year makes…last year I was so excited to make my first ever adirondack…at that point I had made fences , gates, picnic tables--everything with large dimensional lumber…so finally I decided I would make some adirondack chairs--but why stop at two…when making 3 or four...
UP-UPDATE - The unit is working fabulous. The filters are, all three dirty, yes-sah, I will take a pic and add soon.
UPDATE - I found out today that the exit filtret was too close to the fan and causing some air to be forced back into the unit…so I added 5" in front of fan, 3M filtret is NOW 5"...
This is a chair I built using old water skis. Probably the hardest (but also fun) part was finding the old skis. Ebay was a good source, but can be expensive. One set was only $15 at a local antique shop. Some people make these out of a variety of skis, different colors, etc. I wanted to...
Ok folks it is done I took my mac up design and made a chair. I have to thanks Robert Triplett for teaming up with me and buying the wood for the project. I did have to make a few changes so the chair would be strong and there is one other thing I am going to change on the next chair but this...
So here is the latest pair of Norm's chairs (mostly - I wasn't able to get the full size plans so it's based on trying my best to use the plans out of a woodworking mag article and I'm sure there are dimensions that are different. ) The set that has no finish is chairs 5 & 6 made of Cypress...
Gorilla glue challenge entry
Made the chairs about 3 years ago.
Lumber is Tennessee swamp cyprus. It came from Whiteville saw mill located on highway 64 about 70 miles east of Memphis in the south part of the state. Highly figured cyprus. With lots of character.
Soon after making the chairs a...
I made two chairs for a lady who turned out to be a local photographer. I delivered them to her when she was doing a photoshoot at an outside area near a field of sunflowers. It wasn't long before she was setting her customers in my chairs for pictures. Pretty neat!!

Just finished the 3 Children's Adirondack Rocking Chairs to go with my new Rocker Over the years, I have sold hundreds of plans for my regular Child, Junior and Youth sized children's chairs , and I hope the rockers will be popular as well.
These three chairs are wider...
I'm a little surprised myself. I mean here it is half way through August already and I finished my first Adirondack chair of the year just this past Friday. Of course if it wasn't for the deadline provided by the person with the money in hand, it wouldn't have been as soon as that!
This time...
With three classes left, my friend and I decided we needed to finish a great project in wood shop. And this is what six hours of good teamwork accomplished. The chair is six feet tall, six feet long, and four feet wide.
