It's really quality stuff, each bit designed/drafted for perfection ruclips.net/user/postUgkx5WQ3WP9ku9goJTCwWiteQ2BfbhKsH_vl Chairs that are comfortable as heck, but would also probably last generations and all sorts of abuse, not that I'm going to put it through that. Everything about this chair is pleasant, the only thing I'd make a note of is that the low back may be an issue for some. For me, it's comfy and sits just right.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I would recommend flipping the bolt for the front leg and vertical arm support so that the nut is on the outside of the chair. That way it is under the arm and not sticking out in the seating area. This will keep it from scratching anyone getting in or out of the chair. Great build by the way. I have always loved this type of chair.
I love video makers like this, no back story, no waste of time vlog just a friendly presentation with tips and tricks.
I love it! We have some fixed Adirondack chairs but absolutely love this folding capability. Great job!
Love the Adirondack chairs they are very comfortable and the fact that these fold is awesome. Keep up the good work and good luck with the new building!
Very nice especially with the white paint! Back in the mid 90s in RI I was making a bunch of Adirondack chairs, loveseats and footrests and even a couple swings sold to my friends, neighbors, coworkers and my boss. They loved them! Well last year I drove back to RI to visit family and tracked down my old boss who retired. He was surprised to hear from me after so long and said that he was thinking of me when I called because he just sat down on a chair I built him 25 years ago. It still stands! I think I may build some more here in WI. I like the folding idea. Even with nice white paint the birds will still poop on them. Folding them up and putting them away solves that problem.
Great design. It's always fun to watch and listen as you build a project. The joy that you experience when you complete something is absolutely contagious, as is your smile. Thanks for another enjoyable video. Don't change and please, stay safe.
Hands-down probably one of my favorite woodworking project videos I've seen. I can't wait to try making this. Just stumbled upon your channel this morning for a different video, but you've made a subscriber of me in no time.
This is awesome! Love your build! Just like some of the others here I would like to buy a printable plan since I live in Europe and shipping here would cost a small fortune.
Thanks for a great channel! Ive been following you for years now and truly appreciate your work and channel!
I just want to give a little testament to customer service. I ordered the set of templates last Sunday. They were shipped Monday and I received them today. Thank you very much Miss April. I’ve been a fan of yours for several years now but the extremely fast Order processing and delivery was impressive. The quality of the templates is spot on. I can’t wait to get started. Going to be making a set for my boss out of Eastern red Cedar
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, my Mom, who is my Shipping Dept, prides herself on getting Orders out immediately. Thank you for watching and enjoy the Build.
I like your design, with one exception. Having built many Adirondack Chairs, mostly following the New Yankee Workshop plans, I found it necessary to install a cross piece between the rear legs, roughly below the seat back, to keep the rear legs from twisting if in use on side sloped ground. This one added brace didn't add much to the chair weight and added considerable strength and twist resistance. I now do this as part of the build of every chair. I also use construction cement on all joints, but of course not on the pivoting parts of your chair. I have been using rust resistant screws and bolts as well. Stainless is great, if you can find it, but the coated screws for deck use are good too. If the chairs will never be left out in the rain, it doesn't matter what gets used, but rain and the wood treating chemicals are hard on regular steel screws. Rust stains on the lighter colored paint looks bad too.
Do you have a pic of your chair with the brace. You should post one.
@@bernieparent9517 Sorry, no pictures of it. I have no way of posting it on line or RUclips anyway. The brace is just a board the width of the space between the rear chair legs placed roughly below the seat back and secured in place with several screws through the legs into it, much like boxing between floor joists for improved floor stability.
I too noticed that it looked like the screws holding on the back were just standard drywall screws which to me is a bit NO NO for outdoor furnature but it would last a few years before it rusted thru. You could say I had some experience someone in my family assembled some chairs like this drywall screws. They didn't last too long.
Beautiful job, April! The chair right looks sweet! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Good call on the 5/4 board I use it to rebuild all the benches my wife has. You have to cut down the very ends to into fit the steel end frames but they are way more sturdy and last years longer.
Still rockin' it, April! Loved this folding chair. Thank you!
did you make it already?

Nice project with this chair. I never gave a thought one could be foldable.
That’s slick, just what the neighbor and I were looking for recently. Thanks!
Muito bom, excelente trabalho (good job) essas cadeiras são muito relaxantes, pena que no Brasil madeiras são tão caras.
Awesome chair, I'm going to make several sets for my kids as Christmas presents this year, and the templates look like a great way to get started fast.
Thanks for the video, and best of luck.
Great build! The rocking chair looks great as well.
Happy Sunday April!
Awesome video and I can’t wait to get building on this project. The templates really make it so easy to do. Thanks again
Looking good April!...and the chair is awesome too!
I’ve made 4 ADK chairs from a template I got at the summer camp I worked at. Each time assembly was challenging due to the back supports not seating against the back slats evenly. Also my work surface was not very level at camp.
Great job April, thanks for sharing with us, Fred.
The folding feature is so Cool April! Great Video April and Justine! 👍😃
Such an awesome chair, amazing work April! 😃👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻
And we now have the downward chair position !! Lol Great build April. Thanks for sharing.
OMg you're so awesome! Great teaching skills too, detailed, quick and happy 😊
Wow! This is awesome. I'll definitely be buying the templates!
I'm looking forward to a chair that I can fold up and put away for the winter. Thank you very much!
Exelente proyecto muy bonito trabajo la silla plegable como siempre me sigue sorprendiendo traendo Algo nuebo y novedoso
adding a slide out leg rest to this is on my to do list. nice build!
Soooo cool!!! I always wondered if folding Adirondack chairs existed. Now I know how to make them!! Thank you!
Great looking piece April. Building an adirondack chair is something that I have yet to build. I really like how that can be folded for storage. I do believe I’ll be buying your plan in the near future.... once the other hundred projects are completed lol.
She should be shown in schools! Would teach a lot of meaningful skills and save plenty of money for future homeowners! Awesome!
Absolutely amazing and Cool! Well done!
You are amazing... great videos and the new shop shire looks great. I’ll definitely be looking into the build design. I’ve seen one of theses where a foot rest pulls out from the front from under the seat... thanks for sharing.
Great job on the folding Adirondack chair April! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍👌😎JP
Perfecto. Soy de Mallorca y te sigo hace tiempo. Me gusta mucho todo lo que haces y lo fácil que lo haces.
Nice design and build. Looks comfy. Very useful!
Muy bonita silla!! Excelente trabajo y muy práctica para ahorrar espacio, sigo aprendiendo con usted, saludos..
I've been looking for some good Adirondack chair plans. First ones I've seen that fold. I ordered the plans. 👍
Nice work! I’m sure these templates will fly off your shelf. Making it folding makes so much sense for storage. You’re in a malasana squat at the end 😉
Un silla magnifica un trabajo de gran categoría. Un saludo.
Always enjoyed watching your videos never gets old
Made some cedar adirondacks using the paper templates last week. Turned out great. To items you may make note of on your instructions.. You may make note if people use 3/4" material like in my case Cedar 3/4 boards. The length of the bolts will change to 2" in lieu of 2-1/2". Teen I also used 2 bolts in lieu of lags due to board width. Other than that all went well. Thank you.
Maravilhoso trabalho, parabéns pelo canal.
You are amazing with what you do ❤
Hi April, I love your videos... large or small projects you accomplish. I really love your shop space now. Be great for auto repairs as well. Anyway... Be safe and best wishes to you and your family
your a life saviour! I needed to know how to make the foldable version,
thank you so much.
In Canada we call them Muskoka chairs. Love yours.
Love those chairs!
Just bought these templates. Love your channel!
Awesome video. I looked at the plans for many different variations of the folding chair, and I liked this one the best, ordered the MDF templates (which are awesome, albeit a bit fragile - these are going to get transferred to plywood I think), and created a gorgeous version in 15/16" teak. Well made video, and awesome PDF instructions with the templates. The only real changes I made were to also glue up the connecting pieces, and I didn't want screw holes in the arms so I glued up the arm supports with 1/4" dowels on a 4" spacing for strength. Thanks for the inspiration and for my new favorite piece of outdoor furniture
Great! Thanks!
Hey Mark! Quick question. On the cut list the two rectangular pivot parts that go on the back of the chair are listed at 6 1/8" long.. They are located at the bottom right of the diagram page 10 on the pdf....Do you know how tall they are?.. Its the only dimension not listed on the plan. Thanks!
@@aaronmalone4540 I found that it doesn't actually matter (too much) as its simply a connector piece between two pivot points and just needs to be able to handle the forces without splitting. I went with 1 3/4" high as a) that could be cut from scraps I had b) looks good aesthetically and c) was thick enough to not split even with lengthwise grain
A pleasure to see as always.
Excelente cadeira muito top. Abraços de Portugal.
Slick! Well done, indeed!
Very nice
Nice project. Really good looking chair.
Thanks for the video! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This project looks great! One thing that I would add to the design of the templates is a circle cut out on the arms as an optional cup holder location. Otherwise this is 10 out of 10!
Nicely Done Great Job 🔨📐👍Tried Not To Get Too Much Sun ☀️ Stay Safe Out There
Love this! I'm trying to market myself in my area as the adirondack chair guy. I make, so far, about 5 different varieties from $120 up to $450. I'm always looking for new designs and I definitely think this will add something to my collection since I don't have any foldable chairs yet.
What wood are you using for those chairs?
@@jasontucker_ for the cheaper chairs, I use pine. The expensive ones get cedar.
I Love you and your jobs❤
Awesome job! Would be awesome if you came out with a folding footrest plan/template to accompany it, thanks again!
Easy to make..great plans that make sense
Эприл какая ты умница,я пол года ищу твое мотивационное видео про адирондак...
Я себе уже в городской квартире сделал одно кресло складное с выдвижной подножкой из под сиденья, второе начал делать уже с регулировкой наклона спинки. Механизм на пластине уже нарисовал, фото выложу в ВК на своей страничке, с подробным описанием каждого узла с размерами и особенностями изготовления и сборки.
What a great chair!
Hey April - How about cup holders on the armrests? Need a place for a cold drink !!
Yep some Muskoka chairs have a drilled hole on the right arm with a plastic ring
Love this idea. I wonder how much wood this would actually take.
Just what I was looking for!
Love this chair April 😊❤
I just received my plans, thank you, would you do a tall outdoor chair and table set?
Great job nice work thanks 👍 🙂
Great looking chair
Fun project... thanks for this wonderful distraction... from a fellow central Texan (north of Austin instead of south)
Would you ever consider offering a subscription service to your sketchup plans?
Loving the project you are amazing at what you do no job to small amazing
Good on ya girl! I am loving it!
Looks really good, could you do a set of digital plans that we could download and print off for those of us in the UK, please, thanks
Fabulous!! Thank you!
so beautiful i like this one
You ‘re the best April!
Another great job!
Hi April. I have watched a lot of your videos from back when you were just getting started up to this current one. I was wondering, are there any of your old projects that you have, or have wanted to, redo with the better skill & knowledge that you have gained over the years?
It has been fun watching you over the years, & I look forward to many more years of your entertaining presentation style & interesting projects.
hermoso trabajo.
impact driver for drilling
drill to drive
thank you for the project
Impact driver isn't really essential. I can easily those boards with a Milwaukee M12 drill.
I think I'm going to try this with teak wood. Great job! BTW 😊
Can’t wait to build these for our beach house deck !
Awesome! Enjoy the build. :)
Olá..admiro muito o seu trabalho...por favor faz um vídeo de restauração de algum móveis antigo
Great job as always. I like the professional video quality. Can I ask what editing software is used?
Looks great
They look great! With treated lumber shouldn't you wait for it to dry before painting?
Very nice. Great job! (as always...)
Hi April cool chair it's really good idea to do it by ourselves thx from Germany
How many initial boards did you need? I love this project. I am going to make one asap.
Deck boards are great but I have a hard time finding them without tons of knots. I see yours were very clear, you must have a very good lumber yard.
Great video as usual! 👍 👌
Quite simple I'll do one myself good work April
I love this!
Very kool chair thanks for sharing this
