Jamie Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Does anyone have a source for chair plans? I think my biggest weakness in the shop is drawing up plans. This would be what I’m kinda thinking for a look. Only thing i would changes is the scallops on the top rail would be eliminated. I could probably apply my own measurements to it and come up with something. Only things that has me nervous about that is getting the proper angles to make the chair comfortable.

Coop Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I’m with you bud! I made 3 different prototypes of Adirondack chairs before I was satisfied with the heights and angles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking after I posted this that my grandparents and parents have some pretty nice chairs that I could barrow some measurements off of. That might be my best bet.

I did look at his project, and I agree that the money would be worth it for the tips one would pick up. I do like the fact that he did loose tenons without the domino.
