Folding Adirondack Chair build using Veritas Plans

[@leneyvautrinsr5225]

Great video, WOW! I found in my instruction package to glue each to the frame as you build it. Took lots of time to do each one. It is rock solid. Thank you.

[@Phenrica]

@@leneyvautrinsr5225 Thanks, mine still going strong after years in northwest uk

[@stevehayman]

Thank you for this! I watched this video several times last summer working up the courage to buy the plans and lumber and tackle this exact project, having never really built anything before - and I don't think I could have done it without seeing you do it first. I'm very pleased with my two chairs now.

[@Phenrica]

Thanks for that Steve, I’m pleased you had a go and successfully completed your chairs. I’m sure they’ll be a great addition to your outdoors and whilst you are relaxing in those well made chairs you can contemplate your next challenge 😉 Thanks for the comment and the compliment. Cheers Steve (yep all woodworkers are called Steve 😂)

EXCELENTE TRABAJO, muy fino, Maestro usted es muyyyyy duro

[@Phenrica]

Thanks

[@timgreen4788]

I've just finished my chair out of oak. I got the plans from Axminster and followed your video. Thank you for sharing the process, it was a great help.

[@Phenrica]

Hi Tim, Oak! now that'll be so so nice. thanks for the watch, compliment and sharing your success. Cheers Steve

[@ClintRoseCarving]

Lovely result, looks wonderful and seems to be pretty sturdy for a foldaway chair!

[@Phenrica]

Thanks, you are spot re the sturdiness with such a simple locating idea as well and no need for any fancy locking mechanisms

[@jeffforbes3772]

Nice chair...very concise in the process.

[@enrique1452]

good video, many thanks from Spain.

[@Phenrica]

Enrique Gracias 👍🏻

[@JohnUk65]

I built one myself about 3 years ago..fun little project... I see you used osmo..that stuff is so expensive. I used that no-nonsense decking oil from Screwfix think it cost me £20..for 5 litres.really good stuff I've left mine out in the rain and all kinds of wether..the wood has never warped or anything. I also used redwood..like you.I can't talk highly enough about this stuff,,

[@Phenrica]

Mr Slim Guy 65 Thanks for the watch and comment, luckily the osmo was left over from a paying job so was a freebie. Yep the redwood is standing up to the weather here as well, did you re coat yours? Cheers Steve

[@JohnUk65]

Phenicia Wood Stuff yes Steve funny enough I gave it another coat in April it was more to put a bit of colour back into the chair than to actually treat the wood..thanks.

[@stephandallons3282]

Great job ! Very nice Adirondack chair !

[@Phenrica]

SD Woodworking Thanks it turned out nice and got used when we had some decent weather 😏, the plans also came with an option to make a slightly smaller in the seat chair which I also made which was just right for my wife.

[@TheWoodYogi]

That looks great Steve :) Great job ॐ

[@daisyadams83]

I've just purchased the plans and seen your video; very inspiring to get a couple of these ready for the summer in the garden. do you still have your cutting list for this so I can work out the amount of timber I need. Thanks, a great job well done on this video.

[@Phenrica]

Hi Daisy, I’ve just made some fixed back ones very similar to these video link here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXPElJSPrZeMa80 anyway the timber requirements are 1 x 1.5m(5’) x 200mm (8”) x 25mm (1”), 6 x 2.4m (8’) x 150mm (6”) x 25mm (1”) per chair and with what is left over and the offcuts I manage to make a small wine table to accompany them. I tend to use thicker stock (1”) but think the plan calls for 3/4” so there is some slight adjustments on the cross members or the seat slats if you go with the thicker stock. Hope this helps. Cheers Steve ps depending on the moisture content and the season the back fixing can become tight or slack I just use some small thin wedges to overcome, they’re still going strong 4 yrs on

[@trevwhite1625]

Well done sir!

[@tokenspirit6140]

We call these Muskoka chairs in Canada. They make them there.

[@FelipeEduardoGuerreroGonzalez]

[@garethrobinson1729]

Good video but was waiting on a review, how long to do, your opinion, snags you ran into etc

[@Phenrica]

Sorry about that Gareth, this was one of my first videos, in terms of time as I recall it took about 3 days, once the templates are made subsequent chairs are about 1/2 the time. No real snags, just determining the gap between the slats initially was fiddly, however once dialled in to the size with some spacers it was a breeze. like most projects you feel like you need 3 hands so a decent set of clamps/grips are a must. They're still going strong 3 yrs living outside in the northwest of the UK, the only issue is wood movement where the back slots into the legs, in warm/dry weather can be loose, so i added some wedges and when damper (late autumn/fall) when I collapse them to store they can be tight! Finally these are quite low so can be a bit awkward for older folk to get out of, and they're quite heavy but I used 1"/25mm Redwood pine! other species of timber might help this out. Would i build them again yes and still do for friends and family. The plans are easy to follow and once you've made the templates then they're there whenever you want them. Hope this helps Cheers Steve

[@toonybrain]

So, what would you do differently if you designed such a chair?

[@tonyfinck8024]

A small length of rope or a bungee to keep it from opening up during storage or transport and I think it'd be great

[@dominadorbitoon6858]

thanks a lot sir, is that plan and template available if would order for it? how much? I want to do it my self, thanks a lot

[@williamburr9175]

Nice chair and great work. Did you use carriage bolts and stop nuts on all the joints that swivel ? I am building a different folding chair plan that uses lag bolts on some of the swivel joints which do not swivel well at all. Thanks for your advice....

[@Phenrica]

I actually used some Allen (hex) stainless steel machine bolts that had a domed head with a stainless locking nut, M10 thread as I recall with a stainless washer at both bolt head and nut ends, they work a treat and still going strong some 3 yrs on 👍🏻 Thanks for the watch, comment and question. Hope it helps. Cheers Steve

[@glenn549]

awesome chair...

[@seangeelan4055]

Great video. Question: Did you round over with a 3/8 bit? Thanks

[@Phenrica]

Hi Sean as I recall I used a 1/4” bit for these, however a 3/8 would do the job

[@453421abcdefg12345]

A very nice project, and co incidentally a project that I am looking at right now, so you pitched this video with perfect timing for me, the only thing about these is that they look very bulky to store, but I suppose I have got 7 barns to choose from. This would look nice in Cedar, Music always causes so much distraction, it is only any good for videos with no interesting content, a sort of padding, Chris B.

[@Phenrica]

Thanks Chris, these do fold up to about 300mm and easy to store. Cheers Steve

[@wood4nothing284]

Nice chair. Cheers Tim from wood 4 nothing

[@chriselliott726]

You did a very nice job from those plans ..... but it looks too big and heavy when collapsed to be worth the trouble of folding up!

[@Phenrica]

I did use 1” thick timber I’ve used 3/4 since which does make it easier to fold. With the winters in NW UK best to put away 😉 Thanks for the watch & taking the time to comment 👍🏻

[@Phenrica]

Hi David, Yeh sorry about that, but in my defence it was one of my first videos with a rubbish camera and zero talent in editing 😂 unfortunately the original footage has been lost (computer death) so I can’t remaster 😏 unless I film another build of course 😉 Thanks for the watch and taking time to comment 👍🏻 Cheers Steve

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Steve, Great build. How much were all the pieces of timber and MDF? Take care Steve. Cheers, Huw

[@Phenrica]

Huw, but what a shocking vid 😉 As for the timber it was about £40 (prices have shot up during COVID though)and a 1/2 sheet of 12mm MDF is about £12 (the stuff I used I already had, offcuts from a previous project I guess). Cheers Steve

[@edmundlowephotography2334]

Hello, I'm working on one of these chairs right now and I have a question for you regarding the armrest supports. Are we supposed to drill four screw holes in both sides? Wouldn't that make it so the leg swivel would not work? I would appreciate your help on this. I have used your video through every step.

[@Phenrica]

Hi Edmund, if you’re talking about the two angle brackets then you only drill the 4 screw holes in one (this attaches then to the arm) and the other has the single larger hole for the carriage bolt, it’s this that attaches to the leg and gives it the swivel. Hope this helps. Cheers Steve. Ps thanks for the view and question, if I can help further please just ask.

It's really quality stuff, each bit designed/drafted for perfection kzbin.infoUgkx5WQ3WP9ku9goJTCwWiteQ2BfbhKsH_vl Chairs that are comfortable as heck, but would also probably last generations and all sorts of abuse, not that I'm going to put it through that. Everything about this chair is pleasant, the only thing I'd make a note of is that the low back may be an issue for some. For me, it's comfy and sits just right.

[@Phenrica]

because I've used the fast forward option nearly on every clip i've muted the sound! not sure if it would be improved by adding some music audio?

[@ClintRoseCarving]

Sometimes people add music, sometimes they just play some of the sound at normal speed. Its worth experimenting to see what you like. KZbin has a library of free music to choose from also.

[@andrewmo49]

It would be improved with a voice over explaining what you are doing, why you chose to do it that way and anything you would do different if you did it again

[@Phenrica]

@@andrewmo49 I do agree Andrew, though not sure that I really did know what I was doing when I made this 😉. I’ll see if I can add to this video as the original footage has been lost due to the computer hard disc it was stored sadly departing this world!

The Adirondack is a very American design. Is it common abroad?

[@Phenrica]

Joey Suggs Hi Joey I guess the design came from the Adirondack region in New York State USA. The design is quite worldwide I believe, they’re very comfortable as a outside/garden lounge chair plus quite a straight forward woodworking project. Normally they’re of a fixed build type which makes them awkward to store etc in the winter months so the folding ones make this easier imho. Hope this helps
