Jakes Adirondack Chair Project

newportcycle · Post by **newportcycle** » Sat Mar 01, 2014 12:42 pm

Just completed painting a "Jakes Chair" adirondack chair and footstool for my wife. No pictures during the build, no batteries. Easy project, very fun and for someone with my limited talent and experience it was nice to see it turned out square and doesn't wobble on the floor. Most important thing is she likes it very much, the chair has an upright seating position unlike some adirondack models and is very easy to get into and out of. The request has been made for three more for the camp. I will take some photos of the subsequent builds and post. Here is a link to the plans and original developer of the chair Jakes Chair.

Nice chair and a nice job building it. I have built three of these and find them very comfortable. The large arm rests allow plenty of room for an adult beverage. I even reduced the size and made a child's version. Enjoy them.

Thank you all, for the comments. I'll try to work on photo presentation. Those saw horse's were a gift from my father in law and are probably just shy of 40 years old.
