I grew up in the Adirondacks, I have missing context to the Adirondack chair. They were designed to sit facing a mountain pond or lake on a slope. Set one of these babys up looking down a hill and you'll get it
I have known this forever, but other than trips in the Adirondacks I always see these chairs on level surfaces. I don't get why they are so popular given their misuse. On a hill, they are fantastic.
Glad someone else sees it like I do. I'm getting older and those "on the ground" Adirondack Chairs are a pain to get out of. Anyone with arthritis or other medical conditions would likely agree. I think your revision is the way to go. Oddly enough I had modified a set of traditional plans and printed out the layout sheets but not yet build something very similar to yours. Thanks for posting this video. Guess I need to get back into the shop and make a pair of the updated version!
Yes, with arthritis and 2 fake knees, it's almost impossible for me to get out of a regular Adirondack. I would like to see the back rounded but not sure how that could be done
I was thinking the same thing the Adirondack is more of an outdoor recliner than a chair. But he's right for people who are big its tough to get in and out of one so low to the ground.
I know this is an older video of yours (nearly a year old). I'm an older guy and my wife and I will never be able to sit in a low adirondack chair. Your build is perfect for us. I went to your site ready to buy the plans.... and to my dismay, there aren't any?!?! I'm gutted. I was really excited to finally make my first 'real' woodworking build. It's a shame you never posted the plans.
I think the defining feature of an Adirondack chair is that it's a lounge chair, specifically designed with a notable higher front than back. It's meant to be be relaxing, you plop in and should have no desire to get up. Your changes are nice and make sense for those who have a hard time getting out, but I'd argue this is no longer an Adirondack as it no longer delivers the function of "lounging".
The secret is in the name. The Adirondack (as in mountains) chair is meant to be used on a slope. It never was supposed to be used on level ground. Put the chair on slope with your feet downhill and it is actually quite comfortable to use and sit. :)
That is exactly how my wife wants me to build some. She hates getting out of the traditional one. One thing she wants to keep is the curved back. This was a great video
I feel the same way! I hate sitting on (in) them. But people love them. I think they get that idealistic picture in their heads of sitting on a mountainside with a beautiful view, holding hands with their love.... Romantic, right? Well, at 61 years old, I'll build and offer your version any day. I bet they will sell 1 for 1 with the traditional Adirondacks. Imo Great job!
Hey Brad, Excellent build! One thing I did when I made my Adirondack chairs was to make the back rounded so it more follows the contour of your back. Just a thought...😅
Perfect summation of the traditional chair. Brilliant redo. Make 8 chairs: 4 for inside and 4 for outside. Finish the indoor set with a matching dining table and you have arrived.
As someone who lives in BC's coastal rainforest and whose father spends much of his time building trails, I can promise you that cedar is not rotting out on you any time soon. My dad's been using cedar for trail construction for years and even unfinished raw-split wood that gets put in the dirt is just fine years later. And this is wood that is sourced by finding random fallen cedar trees out in the wild that didn't get hauled off by loggers, chainsawing a chunk out of them and splitting them in a process not unlike cutting firewood. Some of that wood has made its way to his workshop, and the only reason the stuff he's planed out can't be sold as tonewood for guitars (his original plan) is that there's some environmental certification needed to do that, and "random BC man carved it out of a dead tree in the wilderness" does not qualify for that certification.
Just found your video and it was great. I tried looking for a video that showed how to adjust existing adirondack chairs for a flatter seat. I could not find any and did not want to get rid of the chairs I have or to make new chairs. I asked my dad to adjust all 4 and he did a great job. So much easier to get out of them now.
Couldn’t agree more about not “liking” the experience of sitting/getting out of Adirondack chairs, but I do think they’re cool to look at. We have two that are just yard sculpture-no one will or wants to sit in them!! 😜
@@Fixthisbuildthat It's a great place to sit your drunk friends if you don't want to have to worry about them until they sober up. It's like a drunk-person-immobilizer
Great twist on the typical Adirondack chair. Like you, i and i bet many other people do not like the step incline of them so this will be a great option
STRONGER MOD: Use half-lap joints for the stretchers to the tops of the legs. Likewise some dadoes for the side spreaders to the sides of the seat...stronger. Ease the lower edges of the seat slats, so they can be closer together and less chance of pinching, or a button catching in them. This will also allow for better drainage and drying of the slats when they get wet. You can depend on leaves/pine needles/dirt getting in there and clogging... Of course, ease all edges with round-overs...gotta be nice to the touch, prevent possible splinters. Suggest you cut the corbels at a 45 degree angle, as they way they sit per your build they are liable to split along that vertical grain. Screw them in at that 45 degree angle for strength. Why? BECAUSE SOMEONE (ahem) will sit on those arm rests. Excellent plans.
Very interesting and inspirational video. Your modern rendition of a Adirondack chair is gorgeous. Your videos in general are very informative and your approach makes extremely fun and inspiring to watch, please keep them coming.
i use Sticky Stuff 3 on all my glue-ups, even on interior projects, b/c it has the longest open time of all the Sticky Stuff variants, and that takes a lot of stress out of glue-ups for me. Sticky Stuff 3 for the win!
great tip on keeping angles offcuts with sandpaper attached! i'm "borrowing" that one for sure! one reason i love watching videos like this, especially when mistakes are made. best way to learn. thanks for the great vids :)
Great project enjoyed the video. It’s also great to see your personal side. I think this is the first video I’ve seen with your whole family. Wonderful looking family, gives me hope.
I completely agree with you about Adirondack chairs. Never been a fan. However, I did purchase a "bistro set that had a bar height table and stools in Adirondack style that I love.
I thought I was the only one who thought Adirondack Chairs sat too low to the ground. I remodeled and built my own version too. In fact, your version is very similar to mine the only difference is I made my back support adjustable. I had the same leg construction as yours. Great job on your upscaled version, it looks great.
Wow, router set. Very nice. But is it just me or are too many people ordering it? Cause the site is down... So I guess, 100 won't be enough. Heck, 1000 probably won't do either.
Terrific build Brad! I totally agree with you about those low to the ground Adirondack chairs! They are really & literally a big pain in the butt! 😉😉👍👍
As an older guy with back problems, I hate the classic adirondak. We have a new patio and need a couple of chairs so been looking for design inspiration. Tada! I ran into this video and Like the idea since it retains the outdoorsy appeal of the style. Since I've built plenty of furniture I really just needed a visual to estimate the dimensions and sturdy method of assembly. For those wanting plans - just measure some chairs you find comfortable: seat height is usually 16-18", seat depth is is also typically 16-18" maybe as much as 20" for a long legged person or if using a back cushion, arm rests run about 7-10" from seat, seat width should be 18" minimum clear of any arm overhang, back height can vary but 20-24" is typical for a high back. Seat tilt is minimal, I simply drew a similar looking curve on a section of 2x4 so seat has a slight rear tilt - about 5 deg slope as it curves over the front towards the rear where it sort of flattens out. Back tilt on these is often 15 deg. I'm jst laying out the dimensions now in CAD so I can refine it for building. If all comes out well, I'll post the dwg in a blog.
You read my mind!! I’ve always wanted a chair like this but I hated the idea of not every guest being able to use it. I do basic woodworking and I might actually have to attempt this!
THE BEST THING ABOUT AN ADIRONDACK CHAIR, ASIDE FROM HIS CLASSIC LOOK, IS IT'S ABSOLUTE COMFORT FOR SITTING. EVERY ANGLE EVERY DIMENSION IN MY OPINION IS PERFECT. QUIT MESSING WITH PERFECTION
Maybe it’s just me but I’m always happy for woodworkers when they are able to buy a festool product. Yes they’re expensive but they are extremely accurate and efficient.
If you ever revisit or need more chairs, you might consider a slight curve into the backrest for cheek comfort(might get a bit numb you sit down for long enough). Maybe also add slat for lumbar support. But regardless, I think it turned out great. PS: As a 6' 5" individual, I never really had difficulty with those chairs 😅, is this a common issue?
@dinacusic7829 You might be right, I am 28. I hear around 35 is when you start waking up with random pain in your back. Can't say I am looking forward to it. 😅
Brad...Need the plans! My knees were jumping for joy when I saw this, but a year has gone by and still no plans. My knees stopped jumping, now they just kind raise up a little and call it a day.
Yes, I love it! As difficult as an Adirondack chair is to get up from even when you're in good health, this version seems so much more disability friendly.
Just finished my first one yesterday - only one I’ve attempted - this is not my favorite piece of furniture- but it’s surprisingly comfortable- I kinda like that it sets close to the ground because enough time in it and imma be drinkin- won’t be as far to fall
I grew up in the north east and I’ve always hated how Adirondack chairs are shaped. This is a severe improvement. I’ve been wanting to make one similar to what you came up with for a while now. It might be time.
Great looking chair, Brad~! I may have to build a few of those for our deck. Yeah, not getting any younger here and the higher seat height looks like a great feature. Thanks~!
I loved your idea and watching you complete it was awesome. I never like the way Adirondack chairs were designed and me being overweight made it almost impossible to get in or out of them. Now watching a person who is a normal weight having the same problems makes me happy to know it wasn't just me and my weight. Beautiful work with a great outcome. I'd buy those chairs anytime and enjoy them.
Ok. Brad.. I usually don’t comment things like “you should have” or “you need to” however, I consider you a friend, so I’m gonna go ahead and say it. Switch to zero man!! Diet Mountain Dew is good. But Mountain Dew zero is amazing. That is all. Nice chair by the way.!
I am with you! I have always hated Adirondack chairs for the same reasons. They’re hard to get in and out of! You’ve definitely built a better one ♥️♥️♥️
Hi Brad, this is the first time I have watched you, great format and you seem like a really nice guy with great kids and wife I hope it all works out for you. Cheers T
Your next project should be a collaboration with a more geeky channel. Make an Adirondack chair that uses some stepper motors and ball screws to lift the seat and help get you out. Then you have the loungeiness with ease of use!
Good sir, if your drill press is taller than you are, it is not little. ;-) I snickered at that one... Thank you for the ideas! I especially liked the clamping cauls at various degrees depending on what was needed. Everyone else voiced my opinion on the general aggravation that is a traditional adirondack chair, as well as the fresh air that is your version of said monstrosity. Well done!
Out of curiosity, would the lower down chair have been better if there was room to slightly put your feet further beneath you when standing? In the toddler room, where I work, when I stand from their chairs, I bring my heels behind my knees, plant my feet and stand. Those chairs are about 5 inches off the ground, but it's definitely easier with the ones 8 inches off the ground. Just curious if that could be a factor as well
Love this channel, following your Shed build. Any idea when the plans will be available for this chair. I really like the design and would love to try to build some, and don't see them on your website yet.

The cut off angles for clamping is BRILLIANT!
I think for me, I'd like a compromise with the angle. Not as steep as a typical chair but a little more than what you made. Very nice work!
Yes, the chair looks great but it's not an adirondack anymore.
@@sbffsbrarbrr oh I get it. That's fine. Haha I just like the design but with just a bit more of an angle is all.

Exactly my thoughts. He’s created an Adirondack style chair which is an excellent variant which would match for an outside table.
His is a Brad-irondack 😜
I agree
Brad's seat on this chair is horizontal
Perhaps a slight backward slant would bring it more adirondackly but still make it easy to get out of
The secret is in the name. The Adirondack (as in mountains) chair is meant to be used on a slope. It never was supposed to be used on level ground. Put the chair on slope with your feet downhill and it is actually quite comfortable to use and sit. :)
@@kutzcd not sure if I should grant you 1 internets, or face palm you into oblivion...
I built a couple Adirondack chairs but made them rockers. To get out, simply rock forward. They were a big hit.
That is exactly how my wife wants me to build some. She hates getting out of the traditional one. One thing she wants to keep is the curved back. This was a great video

No, you didn't build a better Adirondack chair because you didn't build an Adirondack chair. You just built a chair.
Great video! I was just wondering when will the plans be available? Thanks so much for your time

Great build I totally agree never liked Adirondack chairs could never get out of them so this is a great idea thanks for sharing Brad
I like the tip of saving the offcuts of different degrees for glue ups. Smart!

The best part of a Adirondack chair is falling into it. The lounging part. What you made (be it a very nice) is a chair. A nice regular chair.
Great project enjoyed the video. It’s also great to see your personal side. I think this is the first video I’ve seen with your whole family. Wonderful looking family, gives me hope.
Great build. You should start a "My Take" series where you rethink ordinary builds and give it your interpretation and design

Happy to see you using the blade guard😊
Great chair Brad !!! 👍👍👍👍👍 Five Outta Five !!!!!

Maybe it’s just me but I’m always happy for woodworkers when they are able to buy a festool product. Yes they’re expensive but they are extremely accurate and efficient.
Great chair!!! Never liked laying down in them. Lol. Gonna have to get the plans and build a few!!

Raised seat, good idea. Should've gone for the curved back though.
Genius adaption!
Thank you so much for the re-design! I can't stand traditional Adirondack chair because I can't get out of them. I'm saving this one!
I agree with y ou about the seat height and angle. But the pattern I use had a curved back that I think is much more comfortable.
Great job thanks for sharing, looking forward to buying the plans.
Your OCD attention to detail like wanting the slats all drilled in the exact same spot makes my OCD very happy 🤣
Ok. Brad.. I usually don’t comment things like “you should have” or “you need to” however, I consider you a friend, so I’m gonna go ahead and say it. Switch to zero man!! Diet Mountain Dew is good. But Mountain Dew zero is amazing. That is all. Nice chair by the way.!
I tried Zero and I didn't like it. Diet has that bite that I love. But I'll do Zero in a pinch. Thanks for looking out for me, Chris 😂😂
Chuck is back!!! WhooHoo!!!
Love your chair!! I can' get out of the regular Adirondack chairs.
Build plans coming soon? Any ETA on plans? Would be a great winter project.
I am with you! I have always hated Adirondack chairs for the same reasons. They’re hard to get in and out of! You’ve definitely built a better one ♥️♥️♥️
Awesome video Brad!
thanks!
That's a cool chair.
My only nitpick is the back rest... A curved one would feel even better imo.
is there a cut list available for this build ?
"Why is it taped?"
"DONT WORRY ABOUT IT."
😂😂😂😂
kids ask too many questions
You said the plans are in the description but I don't see it. I would like to build this chair.
Hi Brad, this is the first time I have watched you, great format and you seem like a really nice guy with great kids and wife I hope it all works out for you. Cheers T
