as I said in another post:

needed to make two 2 Adirondack chairs.

the cost for wood for two pine chairs 3/4" back in 2002 was $70.

the cost for wood for two pine chairs 3/4" in 2012.........$110.

added a cup holder to the 1964 style chairs.

Nice looking chairs!

That's about 4.6% per year inflation - not toooooo bad.

Looks GREAT!

This project just came out of my shop. Don't tell anyone but it was $29 at ACE Hardware:o I can't buy the hardware for that.

Great chairs !!

One other nice thing about DIY chairs is the opportunity for fine-tuning. I had made one that I shortened the legs on, which my wife's mom likes more than the standard size one. I love your cupholders, too!
