what stain and sealant would you recommend if these are left out in the elements all the time? Also what would you change to make the chair 2-4" taller? just the front legs longer and change the angle of the back, or would that whole piece need to be longer as well? Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
@tswwoodworking10 ай бұрын
Depends on type of wood used. I made these out of white oak which exterior doors are sometimes made from. Could use whatever stain you like, but I then spray with Waterlox (modified Tung oil). If you make chairs out of cedar or something that doesn’t take stain well, I just coat with the Waterlox and let wood change to eventual color which can be nice. I’m not a fan of polyurethane. Seems to flake over time. Hope that helps. Oh, and I have made a raised one, but was just modified design but don’t have plans for it. Good luck!

I’ll have to do some calculations. You could rip 2x4s for the seat slats. Have to resaw them to make the back slats.
@tswwoodworkingАй бұрын
If you are going to plane down “2 by” material, arms will need about 2x8 x 6’ and legs (long and front) will take about 2x6 x 10’ of material. If you wanted to do rest with planed down 2x4 material, you can. I’d think of cost and your time too. Might be worth it to buy material already planed to thickness. But sometimes repurposed, free or discounted material, can’t be passed up. Good luck!

This is the chair I made back in 2011. The template s for this particular chair was some how destroyed. I was hoping that you can send off for the free PDF sheets and I can transfer the measurements on to a 1/4 inch thick of wooden material. All the measurements is accurate that you come across as you read. If some is fat..or just got a big fat ass,.. I just need to make the seat a little wider.

I had to use another browser to get the plans. When you did the temp spacers you said one at 20 the other 18 1/2 but surely they should both be 18 1/2 because the seat slats are 20. I'm most way through cutting the shapes unfortunately I do not have a bandsaw so a jig saw had to suffice. My timber is 1 1/4 thick oak so will adjust measurements accordingly. Anyway thank you so much for the inspiration to do this project

John, If you are asking the vertical back support, it is 30 degrees. If you are asking the curve for the back slats, I made middle one 32" long, installed all of them, then marked 29 1/2" at outside edge on the most outside slat. Then, I drew gentle curve between those, and cut to that curve on the bandsaw. Hope that helps. Let me know.

So what is the width of the backslats? I see they’re 32” in length with some tapering at the top to round them, but see no info about WIDTH and see your comment about misspeaking in regard to the 2.5” inch to 2” taper. Your front spacer length is also inaccurate since it goes in between the 2 side boards while the seat slats go on top of them, doesn’t make it 20” anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, on the fixed Adirondack Chair I tapered the back slats and are 32” long. On the video I used the stated taper, but looked at another chair I’ve done and it was 2.5 to 2”. You can always add an extra slat as long as spaced consistently. Sorry for the confusion.
