[@carusocanuti7580]

Thanks for sharing the model and templates. It's really generous.

[@wagnerluis764]

Ooooh...what a elegance was this chair...congratulations...👍👍👍👍👍 I'll download the file ... thanks for sharing it!

[@gpdoyon]

Functional, simple, beautiful!

[@raydeftereos]

Beautiful. A great design and a great showcase on relative dimensions

[@JasonRSpenny]

Compass Plane is perhaps the coolest hand tool ever invented, and my absolute favorite to use.

[@stevebettany8778]

I’ve been wondering where you had got to and here you are with a most enjoyable and inspiring video. Good to see you again.

[@RenaissanceWW]

These days you'll find me on Instagram a fair bit but my Hand Tool School takes us 99% of my time when I'm not working at my day job. I'm not done here by any stretch of the imagination but I kinda have to prioritize a lot more now. Glad you liked the project.

[@tommycristaldi9037]

Awesome job!

[@MichaelRoss-omtaretutare]

It is good to see you back. I was worried.

[@reforzar]

Very cool chair!

[@jamestaulbee4791]

Nice build & design.

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Wonderful project from one of my favourite woodworkers. More content please Shannon.

[@fortmadisonia102]

Wow...that’s a really swell deck chair, Shannon........keep up the great work!

[@bigscreenbird8198]

Wow man you look fantastic. Congrats on the weight loss.

[@RenaissanceWW]

thanks, its nice to be back to my fighting weight

[@Joe___R]

Good looking chair, I plan to make a pair with a cherry frame and bubinga slats.

[@brianross6818]

Sweet chair, I do like it unfinished as well.

[@WindRidgeWoodCrafts]

Great work and beautiful results, Shannon. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you make your way through the process with the choices and changes along the way.

[@onewood1973]

Just amazing

[@imager8763]

Another great video, glad to see you posting again!

[@fortyoneshades]

Nice! Wish I had some skills with tools!

[@rml015]

Great project, Shannon. Might make a few of these next year to replace some crappy plastic Adirondack chairs on the back patio. Congrats also on the weight loss!

[@austindeveau4392]

Good Job, I built the same ones from a plan by Simon Watts. The plan was in the book Easy Outdoor projects by Popular wood working. I included a couple of hand holds to make them easier to handle. Very comfortable chair.

[@daveweber1331]

You look awesome, Shannon! I see it because I'm about to embark on my own weight loss journey - again. Dreading it, on one hand, anticipating renewed health on the other... Oh, the chair look great too! :-) But you, in the chair, at the sea... Wouldn't have hurt my feelings to have had that view extended a while, there at the end. :-)

[@Marit_tb]

Great project!

[@tomvincent7167]

Material list shows 2 x 8 and 2 x 10, how many of each?, and which are used for which legs?

[@andrewv5104]

Shannon you look like a new person compared to your last video. I feel like you should put a notice on "New look same great Woodworker!" I like this project I'm going to have to make one after seeing this.

[@RenaissanceWW]

I built a better woodworker. We have the technology...

[@tomas6700]

Oscar would be proud!

[@VampireOnline]

Damnnnnnn Shannon looking great!

[@canaldomaurao6237]

Very good!!!

[@jocofi5852]

Where in Maine? We were just up there. Got to love the rocky beaches.

[@RenaissanceWW]

near Boothbay Harbor

[@jocofi5852]

RenaissanceWW awesome, only a stones throw to lie-nielsen, is that by design? We traveled the coast between Portland and Bar Harbor. We stopped into the Lie-Nielsen headquarters and I purchased my first quality hand tools. What a inspirational place to do some wood work. Great chair build. Thanks for the video.

[@RenaissanceWW]

@@jocofi5852 Ha no, I have no say in where my in-law's bought their place. They have been visiting that area since before Lie Nielsen existed actually. Did you get to take a tour of the factory while in Warren? Its a cool experience.

[@jocofi5852]

RenaissanceWW we were driving in the northwest part of the state before making our way down the coast at the end of the week. I missed the opportunity to tour the factory by an hour. But it was still fun to play with the tools and talk shop with the staff.

Very nice 👍👏

[@scharkalvin]

Cutting those 2x8's with a hand saw, that's work! I'd use a hand held electric jig saw, a band saw, or if it would fit...my scroll saw. But how would pine 2x8 wood hold up in an outdoor chair. Maybe Duglas Fir?

[@KatherineCrosbie]

Thanks. Great video and plans! If you made the legs from oak could you use 4/4 material ? Would it be strong enough?

[@athmostafa2462]

NICELY DONE ! 😊 , can u make more videos pls ?

[@imager8763]

Hi Shannon, I haven’t seen any recent videos from you, I hope this means you are well and just enjoying life! I do have one question, do know of any references/guides on what “hang” should be for the various saw types? For example, my crosscut and miter are straight out from my forearm, while the dovetail tilts up about 20 degrees and the rip hangs down about 10 degrees… Thank you! Bob

[@KSFWG]

I know this is going to sound like heresy and blasphemy to some, but this video makes me appreciate my power tools much more. lol :) RWW you are very talented and I thank you for the video.

[@kyneticfx]

I couldn't help but notice the Tormek in the background. I've been considering getting one just to put a hollow grind on my chisels and plane irons... are you still using yours?

[@clintbass6565]

Do you sell temples of this design

[@RenaissanceWW]

I have a downloadable PDF pattern and a SketchUp model available for free on my website www.renaissancewoodworker.com/portable-deck-chair/

[@julioceasrchungperez8742]

Hola muy lindo proyecto cómo puedo contener el molde para hacérmelo esta muy lindo gracias y mucha bendiciones

[@adude7050]

Hi are you going to the Baltimore wood Working show? I contacted you earlier but I can't find our communications. I work for a company that will be at the show.

[@bigmac1598]

Hi ya. The only trouble with exposed screws is the heads get hot and can burn sensitive skin

[@tomvincent7167]

Use brass "trim screws" inserted where the head is just below the surface of the slat

[@aaronlariscy7402]

What brand low angle jack is that?

[@RenaissanceWW]

Veritas

[@ЧайнаПродаКшен]

Класс, размеры можете скинуть?

[@Cynyr]

so if I don't have a turning saw, a frame saw, or a compass plane, would a bunch of crosscuts down to just above the line, followed by removing the bulk of the waste with a chisel (bevel down) work well enough? (I mean i could cheat and use my bandsaw, but where is the fun in that?)

[@RenaissanceWW]

Sure, roughing to the line is the easy part and there are a number of tool combinations that can get you there. I would recommend at least a spokeshave however to finesse the curves back to the line.

[@CarlosRamirez-rz5zh]

Hola buen día

[@JayWC3333]

You should have left the bow in the original board...it would have followed the curve of the rails. :)

[@joewiener1616]

Thank you for posting.

[@skivvywaver8437]

Man, didnt hardly recognize you since your weight loss.
