Adirondack Chair

Adirondack Chair

There are many, many different patterns for Adirondack chairs, to say the least, but this one is a sentimental favorite. I recently refurbished this last surviving chair of six, built by my Grandfather in the 1930's, at our Muskoka, Ontario cottage.
The traditional curved top is shown on the right. The plans also include patterns for the other back designs, scalloped and picket fence , as shown above.
I can attest to it's comfort, as I sit in it every weekend morning, listening to the loons and sipping my coffee, just as my parents and Grandparents did before me.
The original Adirondack chairs had flat backs and seats, but eventually the rigid lines became more relaxed and comfortable. I have sat in many styles around cottage country, and still think this pattern is the most comfortable.
The tall, curved back cradles you, and the
19" (48.3cm) wide seat wide seat is contoured and curves under your knees. The low profile allows you to stretch out your legs. The 7 1/2" (19cm) wide arms of this chair, will hold a dinner plate or magazine, and comfortably rest your arms with coffee in hand.
I have extended the height of the original back, so that taller people can rest their head. I have also lowered, and added a
curved back seat slat , to match the curve of the back slats. This eliminates the "butt-bite", of the original design, caused by the space left between the back slats and the last seat slat.Plans also include pictures and dimensions of the taper sled I use on my table saw, to cut the back slats and back support pieces.
The chair is totally constructed of 3/4" (1.9cm) pine, but can be made with cedar fence boards. Some plans use 1" (2.54cm) to 1 1/2" (3.8cm) stock for the legs and arms, which I find too heavy looking.

Dimensions - 32 1/2"W x 37"D x 38"H (82.6cmW x 94cmD x 96.5cmH)

The downloadable instructions are in Adobe Acrobat . The templates will print clearly for transferring onto 1" x 1" graph paper you can make with a roll of brown packing paper. Directions for building a Taper Sled, are also included. These plans are in standard and metric dimensions.

Folding Adirondack Chair Plan

Folding Adirondack Chair

Muskoka Chair

Regular 65 degree angle

Reclined 50 degree angle

Folded to 12 1/4"

Unlike a regular Adirondack chair, where there are many different styles, most folding chairs seems to be fairly similar in the way they fold.
Unfortunately, most chairs that I have seen, utilize the "flipper" behind the back support. Most of these chairs are bolted using one washer, or none, in between the folding parts. Some designs rub on the sides of the main frame support, and over time show scraping marks, and can also bind if folded after moist weather.
In designing this chair, I felt it was important to keep the integrity of the
original chair design, with the tapered back support. Since I, and many fellow Canadian cottagers, prefer to paint our chairs in bright colours, it was also important that there was sufficient space between the folding parts, yet keeping the structural strength.
In experimenting with various options, including nylon futon bushings and metal porch glider mechanisms, I found an inexpensive and strong solution to the needs of this design. While you can still build this chair using regular carriage bolts with washers between the folding parts, over time the holes may get larger and the chair may get sloppy.
The plans include the alternate use of
carriage bolts encased in polyethylene tubing and custom made 1/4" washers, using UHMW plastic, used for table saw and router jigs for smooth movement. All parts are readily available at Home Depot, Rockler Hardware and Lee Valley Tools, as well as many other leading woodworking supply stores.
The image above, showing the chair in the upright position, is identical to the original in position and comfort. The image in the middle shows the chair reclined to 50 degrees....a very comfortable snoozing position. The back is supported by the arms and
curved back seat slat, and all pieces are screwed and glued with Gorrilla Glue for the necessary strength. A recent Customer picked up some plans at my home and sat in one of the final prototypes. He found it very comfortable in the reclined position, and strong enough to hold his over 6' height and 210 lb. weight.
The right hand image shows the chair folded to 12 1/2" (3.81cm) and can
hang on the wall of my garage.To fold the chair, push on the back and walk it forward into the folded position. To open the chair, pull up on the back. The chair will open to the reclined position, then pull on the back support to put it in the regular 65 degree angle. To recline the chair, while sitting in it, reach back and pull the back support forward. Lean back and relax!
If you are using your chairs on uneven ground or on the beach, you may want to add
stop locks to the back supports. This will eliminate the back from reclining into the sand. To fold the chair, push the back support forward to unlock it, and fold forward.
The chair can be constructed of 3/4" (1.9cm) pine, cedar or redwood, with all pivot parts of 1/1/4" (3.2cm) stock for extra strength and gluing surface. Plans include pictures and dimensions of the taper sled I use on my table saw, to cut the back slats and back support pieces.

Adirondack Chair Settee Kit
Muskoka Chair Settee Kit
(Andirondack Chair plan sold seperately)

As a compliment to the Full Size Adirondack Chair, I have designed a Settee Kit to join 2 chairs together. This can be accomplished by building two new chairs from scratch, or joining 2 chairs that are already assembled. Simply remove the adjacent inside arms, join the chairs with 4 boards, then cut out the parts from the templates. After assembly, you will have a comfortable settee, with an extra wide center arm, and a matching lower shelf for magazines or plants.
Some settee's I find too wide, and don't seem to match the rest of the chair. The slats in this kit match the size of the two seat slats on the chairs, and the curved arm pieces match the outer arms of the chairs. The front and back edges of the shelves, are also curved to match the proportions of the chairs. I have added an 8' market umbrella to my settee, which provides shade as well as protection from light rain.

The

The 1 square = 1" templates will print clearly for enlarging onto graph paper found at Staples Business Depot or most office supply stores, or you can make your own, with a roll of brown packing paper.

This is a 2 position foot stool that fits the Full Size Adirondack Chair. The image on the left shows the lounge position, with the front legs folded under and held in place. The image on the right shows the footstool position. The legs are splayed outward to give the stool stability and to prevent the legs from folding under, when someone sits down.
The stool is large enough to create extra seating for guests or to use as a table. Washers between the legs and side panels allow free movement, especially when painted. Stop blocks prevent leg movement.
If you are looking for a plan with a more narrow footstool, to allow easier access in and out of the chair, simply reduce the plan's width dimensions by your desired amount.

Outdoor Harvest Table and Benches Plan
BHP-01

OUTDOOR HARVEST TABLE AND BENCHES
(Picnic Table)

 

A traditional picnic table can be difficult at times to get in and out of, as well as the general design
lends itself to a park type setting, rather than the upscale look you want on that new deck you just built.
This Harvest Table design combines the classic, clean lines of Shaker styling in both the table and
benches, and matches the 5/4 cedar look of your deck. The complete project is made from
spaced
deck boards to allow for drainage,
mortised and tenoned into breadboard ends . The plans can be
easily adapted to a longer or shorter length. The center boards can be changed or the breadboard
ends can be reduced to one board instead of two. This table seats 8 people.
The tung oil finish gives a lasting beauty to the cedar, allowing you to touch it up each spring
without sanding and scraping off old flaking finishes. The amount of coats you give the project, will
determine the shine of the final coat.
All tenons are glued in the center section with polyurethane glue, and
pinned with cedar pegs on
either side. As well as an attractive look, the joint is rock solid and should not split or seperate, since
the humididty changes outdoors are not as extreme as they are inside your home.
The cedar 5/4 boards and 4x4's should be purchased well ahead of time, and allowed to dry in a
stacked, spaced position. If this material is stored outside at your lumber store, it will absorb a lot of
rain, if not covered properly.
Plans include a rough materials list, finished part sizes, detailed step by step instructions, diagrams, templates, and a page address for additional on-line instructions with 21 close-up pictures. Assembly instructions are organized to avoid duplicate setups. You will need most major power tools to build this project.

 Mission_Chair

Unlike a regular folding directors chair, which uses metal braces, this design is completely made of wood except for two bolts. This chair utilizes a dowel ended cross support that runs in a dadoed slot in the legs.

In designing this chair, I felt it was important to keep the integrity of the
original chair, made by my Grandfather in the 1930's. I have refurbished the last 2 original chairs, but I find that they are too small for most people.The new design is 3" wider and 2" taller, so it can be used at a regular height dining table. I have changed the design by adding mission style side panels for strength, ease of assembly and material replacement when needed.

As seen in the pictures above, the chair folds to 5" wide for easy storage. Great for carrying in your trunk for the kids ball games, picnics, the beach or tucking away in a corner for extra seating when guests arrive.

The Adobe PDF plans include 38 colored,
step by step images, that you can zoom in on to get a closer look. There are also 4 pages of sized images with all dimensions shown. The only templates necessary are the arm supports and back dowel supports, that are supplied on 1/4"x1/4" graph paper for easy copying.

You will need a table saw, router and table, band saw, stationary sander, drill press and dado blade.

Trash and Recycle Bin Plan

Trash and Recycle Bin

           


CLASS TRASH

My neighbour down the road at our Cottage in Muskoka, refers to my dog as, the 'Recycle Dog'. On garbage day, she tours all the recycle bins on the road and licks out any remaining morsels of tasty tidbits in the cans.
After discussing my predicament with the local Recycle driver, he said he would empty the bins as long as he could see them. Hence, the lattice work design allowing the bins to be seen clearly behind the door on garbage day, and yet the look of the design is consistent when the compartment is empty. The door is self locking, due to the weight of the lid, and the garbage bag area is separate from the recycle area. The baluster on the left door stile, hides the seam of the door, and a handle is unnecessary due to the open lattice panel.
Our garbage truck driver is in the habit of placing a stick under the lid of the bins. When he comes back the next week, and doesn't see the stick, he knows that there is garbage inside. Unfortunately, my dog takes the sticks when they fall out, and the garbage man has to hunt for more. An idea taken from the typical mailbox , I have installed a red flag on the lid, which is raised on garbage day, to indicate that the bin is full. The driver puts it down when empty.
The lid is heavy enough to keep out the raccoons and dogs, and has a self-locking support brace, when the lid is raised. A handle on the lid is not necessary, as the front lip is large enough to hold onto. The bin is raised on 2 cedar runners to keep the plywood off the ground and let air circulate.
The cedar spindle balusters add some charm to the ordinary look of a garbage bin. To add a personal touch, the center section of lattice could be left out, and your name and house number could be placed on the plywood.
Plans include materials list and dimensions, complete instructions, close-up photos available on line, and parts assembly diagram.

Garden Gate Planter

This is an easy to build and versatile planter. It can be made with cedar fence boards, or 3/4" pine, painted and antiqued, like the picture. If you don't own a table saw, this project can be made of stock lumber from any building centre.
The back slats make it look like a gate, and you can change the pattern to suit the style of your home or match your picket fence.
Two planters look great on the deck on both sides of the patio door. The section at the top holds a plastic planter, to keep the wood protected. The tray and shelf have open slats for drainage.
The shelf at the bottom can hold a potted plant as shown , or a display of garden sculptures. We remove the plants for the winter, fill the top with pine branches and cones, and put Christmas decorations on the shelf.
A great weekend project for the beginner, or a very marketable item at craft shows. Plans include step-by-step instructions and a numbered diagram.

Q: Why use Adobe Acrobat for downloadable plans rather than the conventional txt, gif or jpg files.
A: gifs and jpg files were intended to be used for photos and simple art work only, not for detailed drawings. Once you’ve downloaded your plans using Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can zoom in on all the details. This feature isn’t available using conventional txt, gif or jpg files.

Q: Do I have to install Adobe Acrobat Reader on my computer?
A: Most new computers are shipped with Adobe Acrobat Reader already installed. Since so many files are now being offered on the internet in Adobe Acrobat format, you’ll be able to use this program for many other applicatons. If you don’t have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, don’t worry. It is easy to install, and it is free to download from Adobe. Remember, you only have to install Adobe Acrobat Reader
once.

Q: Will the drawings print clearly using my printer?
A: Yes. They should print fine using most dot matrix, inkjet, and laser printers.

Q: Can I use the downloadable offline?
A: Yes. The file is downloaded onto your hard drive or floppy disk to be printed and used whenever or as many times as you like.

Q: Are these files zipped and how long does it take to download them?
A: If there is more than one PDF file contained in the plan than we have combined them into one zip file for downloading. If you do not already have a zip program just click on the following from the creators of the ZIP file format
