DIY Build a Child Size Adirondack Chair (Muskoka Chair)

[@ChiselCantwell]

Thanks for the plans of this chair I made 3 of them for my Grandbabies and you saved me a lot of time. All the best to you!

[@FishersShop]

The clip with the boys at the end was gold. :) Well done!

[@jeremyortiz2927]

Love the design. You gave me an idea: as a gift to my brother and his family, scale up even more until it's a chair that makes adults feel like kids when they sit in it. 👍

Great project! I just finished my fourth child size Adirondack Chair. This one is for our 2nd grandson. I used my wife’s chair for the pattern. Her mo

i made the smale for my babygirl, thanks for the plan buddy!!

[@SimonKenyon]

i built two of these for my grandchildren. thank you very much for the design. the boys like them (i think). i have a few comments if you are interested. small children who clamber onto a chair can tip these over. i screwed two strips of wood to the bottom the the legs to try to counteract this. i used a track saw to cut the straight edges. having the templates spaced just a tiny bit further apart would have helped in the cutting. indicating on the front legs where they meet the side would have helped in the construction. i cut the back by attaching two clamps at 30cm? from the armrests on the assembled chair. then i bent a flexible steel rule between them. then i marked the line with a pencil and disassembled the back and cut the seven pieces with a jigsaw. once again, thank you for the video and the plans.

Watched this with my grandson, he wants one and said I better get busy. I'd better make 2 cuz I'm sure his brother will want his too.

Great work on that kid's chair & I loved their reaction at the end! Times like that are priceless for sure.

Your alright 👍 doing projects for your kids and Interacting with them in your videos 📹 told you that always a thumbs up 👍 from me to you. Be safe.

[@mikepettengill2706]

man you make that look easy! I always by the precut kits like a chump!

[@MCsCreations]

Really nicely done, dude! Beautiful chair! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@lightmechanic2370]

Great vids. Cute kids. I hear a longer bit for the screws works well, you should try it.

Any Duke reference gets a thumbs up from me...

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

[@Shadow74342]

Many thanks for the plans!....worked great. That said, there was some minor tweaking with - the upper back & lower back templates + the sitting piece template didnt reach the sides, yet they were cut to the dimensions of the paper template...so I re-cut new ones to the dimensions needed. Also 9 seat slats not 6, and I must have lost the 2 front leg supports....but eventually I have it all together....looks great

[@seanloughran6714]

I get the same reaction from my kids when I build them stuff. At least they gave you the pity "I LOVE IT"s. I don't even get those!

[@billdoyle7014]

Very good

[@jonheil1279]

I would like an over all size of the ones on the bigger pages because all mine are short! The template pieces

[@DIYBuilds]

I think you didn't line up the marks correctly then.

[@jonheil1279]

My printer did them at 73% Should they be at 100%

Sure wish I could find the free plans for the smallest Adirondack chair! Maybe I’m too late.🤷‍♀️. Sure do like your videos.

[@DIYBuilds]

On my website under plans then kids project plans. Scroll way down until you find the pdf.

[@michaelwray4359]

You are amazing

[@ArpadBuildsThis]

I need to build this! I should build this and scale it up! These chairs when at standard size are great for tall people (including me)! I also love this new style of video! I love it when there’s some music! What was the music at the end?

[@DIYBuilds]

Lol thanks. You mean the end credit music or right before?

[@ArpadBuildsThis]

@@DIYBuilds the music right before (the same one as the pocket hole machine video)

Some random youtube song

On the rear leg the 64 degrees seems excessive. Is it actually a 64 degree cut

good video. I would love to build the child size for the grandson. Tried but can not figure how to download the "free plans" Suggestions? Thanks

[@jeffforbes3772]

Cool! The kids were ecstatic. About how many screws did it take? I'm wondering if I need to supplement with whole or half wack from my neighborhood big box store.

[@DIYBuilds]

Under a half for sure ;)

[@arnulfoacevedosoto7956]

excelente su video, hagame el favor como consigo las medidas.

[@andrewjordan5662]

do you have the plans in the smaller size???

[@DIYBuilds]

Yes on my website under plans and kid project plans scroll down until you see it.

[@MamuPlaysMinecraft]

It seems you are often using an angle grinder on the sharp ends of screws. Have you ever considered just purchasing screws the right length so they don't poke out the other side? Just a suggestion. Love watching your videos

[@DIYBuilds]

I like to use what I have if I can instead of making a dedicated trip to the store for only that.

Depends where you reference from. Subtract 90.

Would love to see an adult version for the older generation. I believe they are called grandparents chairs.

Nice. I hope to build a few too. Question: glue? Outdoor finish? About how long did the build take? Thanks for all the extra effort. I know it's a lot b

[@wyssmaster]

Glue tends to fail on pieces with cross grain construction, so there's no reason to use it. There's also the issue of using glue with outdoor furniture (I can't remember James Wright's results, but he's had an experiment running for a couple years now about exterior wood glue usage). I'm assuming he's using an outdoor/UV resistant poly or spar urethane, but who knows. My guess is he's not too concerned with kid projects lasting too much longer past that part of their childhood

[@DIYBuilds]

The chair has only been in my house so its condition is perfect ;)

[@karlnone8422]

Is this suitable for a 7 year old? Also, how think is the wood?

[@DIYBuilds]

Yes. 3/4"

[@karlnone8422]

@@DIYBuilds Are the back slats symmetrical? When I printed the plans one side it tapered and the other is straight.

[@DIYBuilds]

Symmetrical.

[@karlnone8422]

@@DIYBuilds Thank you. You might want to check your plans.

[@DIYBuilds]

Checked they are good. Do you mean is the whole piece tapered.... yes they are smaller on one side.
