So I have always had an interest in woodworking, I made many things in high school and some after. I always but tools when they are on sale chop saws, table saws, routers, jig saws, drills...ext. So I decided to start some projects that would benefit me, the first being Adirondack chairs. I have always love them and they add a nice country feel to the house. So I made a pair and going to make another pair. I plan on spraying them a light gray or white but not sure yet.

Thanks John. First time in some years I have built something.
Those look awesome! I will take 4!! Hahaha
The way to test an Adirondack chair is to put a glass of cold beer on the armrest and see if it stays level.
I love wood working and I love having masses of tools to choose from. Reminds me of Tim Allen growing up, lol.
Nice chairs. Adirondack chairs are actually the logo of the place where I work, and you can see them all through our hotel

When the kids were small I made some that were exactly half scale. Of coarse they outgrew them by the time they were 3 years old, but they are still around.

Nice work! I imagine that you would get lots of satisfaction using them knowing that you made them with your own hands. Not familiar with American timbers, but it looks like you have used some type of pine? If so do you need to waterproof them in some way before spray painting them your favorite color? It would be a shame to see them rot at the bases if moisture is absorbed during out door use.
We're here for a good time...not a long time

I'll have to post a picture of the garage I have more tools than space wood working, metal working, yard tools and machines. I most definitely am a tool guy. I have to have a tool for each task, may not need it right away but when I do I'm so happy it was there.
I have a sweet spot for adirondack chairs, it's the signature of relaxing.
Yes you are correct, pine is cheep, light and easy to work; But you have to finish it in paint, stain or varnish. I will be painting these. I plan on making a set out of cedar but it's 2x the cost. Poplar is a hard wood and only cost a little more but that has to be finished also.
Nice work!
