Thank you for sharing. Reminder for all of us carpenters must protect our lungs when sanding the wood. All the more reason when we work with pressure-treated wood since it contains insecticides and antifungal agents. Good construction of the chair and the plans are clear enough.
I don't have much experience in woodworking. (I saw my dad use a drill once.) But I thought I would tackle this project and make it a little wider to handle anyone. It took me a few days, but I built the chair, and it has handled 350 pounds of weight. Thank you very much for your guidance.
This video is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Your chair is exactly the aesthetic I'm going for... Hubs and I will be building this TODAY! (4th of July 2021) Thanks so much & looking forward to your channel posting more!!!
Awesome video and easy step by step view on the cutting and assembly! Thanks for sharing this along with the free plans👍🏽 I will send you some pictures when I complete a pair!
We built these is high school. Same pattern. I still have mine class '97. Now, I want to break it out to see if I can make some money wood working again. Great video.
I love the easy explanation of building this chair. Been looking for something like this!! Going to start building mine today using your plans. Thank you so much for this video. I have subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your content.
There is a major advantage to using only one bolt in each leg attachment place. It lets the chair rack out of shape to fit uneven ground, and avoids damage when it does. Rigid outdoor furniture is a pain, as I soon discovered after making some.
I modified the plan a little by putting a small square block on top of curved arm braces screwed in perpendicular. I was able to screw up through them into the bottom of armrest to conceal the screws leaving a clean look as well as another point not to allow water to gather and rot over time. Small modification.
I'll have to rewatch the video to be sure, but since there is no glue, only screws, this chair can be disassembled to be painted/stained, or flatpacked when you move, then reassembled at a new location or after painting/staining. Simple design, no curves. Curious what this would be like if you sat on it for 4hrs reading a book. I'll download your free plans and see how I can screw up, err see if it's within my skills to make. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for an awesome and thorough DIY video. I don’t know if anyone has asked this, but, do the pressure treated wood leave any stains on clothing? Skin irritant? I thought of using p.t. lumber for the areas that touches the ground and use pine board and coat it with polyurethane
Thank YOU so much for sharing!!! You think you can make an ottoman pulling out from underneath the seat? A retractable if you know what i mean? Lol.. Thank You!!
Wish I could post the pic of mine!! This was very thoroughly explained. Only party I would’ve emphasized is to screw the back boards into the 1/2” portion of the lower back rest. Was my stupidity I learned the hard way and luckily had 1.5” screws and 3.5” to go into the legs lol
Thank you for your great plans however I have a question in the plans you mention 5/4 x 6 , what is 5/4 x 6 ? I have not seen lumber produced in this dimension. Thank you, Scott
I'm building this today and I have one question. Is the front leg support the standard width of 2 by 6 by 24 or is it ripped to 2 by 4 by 24 ? Thanks you. It looks to be the full 2 by 6 in the pictures but I see it says 2 by 4 in the plans. Thanks for your help with this question, and thank you for taking the time to upload these plans.
I'm very new to woodwork. Following the plans you give I am not sure if the 2' 5 1/2'' measures the whole distance of the leg or if I should be adding the ends to total 2' 10 3/4''. I made the cut twice and just confusing myself even further.
It’s weird how he drew it. Wish he did it like armrest which are super easy to understand. I guessed something similar 34 1/8 because it doesn’t have a total measurement anywhere . Guessed 2” for the curve at the end of legs
Well done, nice chair, traditional, BUT for me, I have to modify it to suit me, made it longer front to back, raising the legs 2 inches, sloping the seat by that much, once in, I'd need a hoist to get out,,. Regards Alf
Just saw your video for the first time. I like the chair. I’m a wood worker also and have built a few Adirondack chairs. Nice job. I saw you have a Chicago shirt on. Are you in Chicago? I’m in Bourbonnais
Great video! I had a question about plans- I’m gathering the wood and will make templates but is there a better way of printing the diagrams at a 1/1 scale on a large printer or is the standard way to try and sketch it using the measurements given?
Are you talking about the bottom wood piece they sit on? If so I used a table saw for that cut. But you could use a circular saw as well but it’s a bit harder that way.
Thank you for the reply! I’m talking about the upper and lower back support that are at 60 degrees and 86 degrees length wise. I was planning on using a circular saw as that’s my only option, I don’t have a table saw. Just wondering if there’s any tips because I didn’t see that cut made in the video.
Bolts just add a lot more strength to the legs, prevents a lot of the wobble that could happen over time. Screws will work but can loosen up over time.
how beautiful to look a wood worker working equip with power tools, can you share your template for that and plan? how much? I want to do it myself using hand tool
Description says 2x6x8 but plans say decking boards, which do you find work better? Nice build and video. Going to build one today but think I'll skip the carriage bolts and use more screws. Thanks for sharing.
Honestly either will work, depends on how heavy you want it. Not much of a difference tho in the boards. I used screws prior and found these bolts to hold the chairs stiffness a lot better.
@@greattbuilds Thanks for replying. I have plenty of screws and no carriage bolts left. I bought 2x6 for the legs, will use decking for everything else. Rip the deck boards in half for the seat slats. I need to build several chairs for our fireplace area and your design, video, and templates, persuaded me to use your design. I appreciate it as I'm sure many others will too.
@@1AXMRDR I’m glad my design and video was clear enough to follow and build for yourself! Screws will work, but over time I noticed the wood wasn’t as stiff together. Can always add carriage bolts later on for sure though.
Might be the most comfortable for someone under 40 but as you age it’s difficult getting out of it. The slope of the seat does not have to be that steep and the legs could be higher. THEN you’d have a comfortable chair. I like your design but 76 year old me couldn’t use it.
Thank You for sharing , the chair looks amazing , I will get my material together and make one , I pray The Lord Jesus Christ Blesses you and your family abundantly
I just liked your video and iam the 811 , I thought of Romans 8:11 King James Version 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you
@@greattbuilds the arm measurements are in the design but for the leg the measurements are in pieces and to be honest don’t know which number to add together to get an exact number
How to find the materials list and plan links.... Below the video (if you are on tablet view in portrait mode, i.e. turn the tablet) look for ...more, press this, next page look for ...more, press this wahlah..instructions.
It might be tempting to use pressure treated lumber, but PLEASE DON'T. Most pressure treated lumber is still very wet and you WILL see wood movement. Just spend a few extra bucks and buy cedar. Seal it with stain and top coat. Not a bad design though
What do you suggest for cutting the wood? I don't like using the my jigsaw for projects, because there is always an angle. I'm thinking about buying a band saw. I just don't want to waste the wood. Any suggestions?
I would use jigsaw for this one. Bandsaw is a bit overkill. Maybe you have an older model jigsaw? The newer ones seem to cut fairly straight ( $99) but maybe get a new blade as well. I needed the longer 5 1/4 inch general purpose blades.
@@greattbuildsyour video has been the easiest to follow so far. Actually I did see one where a guy made a “short” and it was pretty simple. If I was to make a video I’d make it for an absolute beginner, someone that has no idea what they’re doing AT ALL. That’s how simple I’d make it, just my opinion. Like I said yours is easy for me because I do woodworking as a hobby but some of the lingo and cuts people aren’t going to know. I am going to build this though; have you ever thought about selling your plans? Probably make good money doing that
@@greattbuilds a simple push stick to support the wood that is between the Fence and blade is all you need. Those push blocks you use are great but you need to push the wood through on the other side of the blade

Thank you for your great plans however I have a question in the plans you mention 5/4 x 6 , what is 5/4 x 6 ? I have not seen lumber produced in this dimension. Thank you, Scott
Those are considered decking boards. A little slimmer than 2x6 boards

The legs are 2x6
I noticed the template shows an angle on the upper and lower pieces. Is that needed?
As a P.S.
What a great chair
I'm very new to woodwork. Following the plans you give I am not sure if the 2' 5 1/2'' measures the whole distance of the leg or if I should be adding the ends to total 2' 10 3/4''. I made the cut twice and just confusing myself even further.
I agree, if you add all the measurements up at the top it does come out to 2’ 5”. If use 2’ 5” when you draw out the length I come 2” short.
@@robmcleod8702 Did you guys end up using the 2' 10 3/4" dimensions?
If you add the measurements up, it should be 34-3/4" long.
It’s weird how he drew it. Wish he did it like armrest which are super easy to understand. I guessed something similar 34 1/8 because it doesn’t have a total measurement anywhere . Guessed 2” for the curve at the end of legs

Pressure Treated to sit on? Fet Real !!!
yea it works great!
It might be tempting to use pressure treated lumber, but PLEASE DON'T. Most pressure treated lumber is still very wet and you WILL see wood movement. Just spend a few extra bucks and buy cedar. Seal it with stain and top coat. Not a bad design though
As well as pressure treated has chemicals added that are not meant to be in contact with skin. It can cause an irritation.
